2022 NCAA Tournament - 2nd Round

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

And we go. 

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

-Sparty is going to give Duke trouble.

- Tech will disembowel ND

- St Mary's / UCLA is a fascinating matchup; same with Baylor / UNC

- Over in Memphis / Gonzaga can't be set too high

- Go Rick 

- Go Horns

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

Yeah, you can bank on Mich State / Duke being prime time Sunday.

[Underdog 28,614]

Some really good 2rd matchups. 

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

Yes, indeed. Going to be a fun weekend.

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

Iowa State / Wisconsin will be your one out to go shopping with your wife.

[Beau Vine 54,212]

Gonzaga-Memphis will come down to how the game is officiated.  Memphis has some really physical dudes who will knock the shit out of Holmgren and Timme if they try to set foot in the lane.  If the refs don't call that stuff (like in the SMU game), Memphis has a chance.

But since NCAA officiating has gone full-blown Dick Bavetta-era NBA, I'd bet on half the Memphis team fouling out and Gonzaga winning easily.

I can't wait to watch this game.

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

The under in Iowa State / Wisconsin may make you cringe.  We'll see.

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

Illinois / Houston.

Illini and Underwood are a mess. Schizo and no idea what to do offensively. Kockburn is an overrated dinosaur who relies on bully ball. Their go-to against Chatt was a deep three from Plummer. Worked on occasion, that's it. In the end, Chatt couldn't match up.

UH laying 4.5 seems steep.

About to head over to Dickies in Fort Worth for my 5th and 6th game of the weekend. The Kansas and Baylor fans were split into two different sessions/tickets on Friday, but all of them will be here for both games today. UNC and Creighton also had a good fan showing at the opening games. Should be a great crowd.

[PittsburghTiger 6,178]

We have two good games in Pittsburgh tomorrow. The arena was packed for both sessions yesterday. Pittsburghers really support the tournament when it comes to town. I think we were awarded 2024 as well.

Tomorrow we have Villanova v Ohio State and then Houston v Illinois. 

That's some fun right there.

This here is own view for the games.

[Sbbruin 21,843]

Stressing about St Mary’s.  We can’t play like we did against the Zips.

[Underdog 28,614]

Hard to believe Drew has been at BU for 19 seasons. 

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

Jim Jackson has become a really good color guy. 

[A’Dam Psycho 1,470]

I hope UNC skullfucks Rapelor

It was in vogue to ridicule him early on for perceived ineptitude. Some of it may have been warranted.

Don't hear much of that anymore.

I like how he calls out shitty officiating.

Fuck him anyways.

[Pam Cummings 9,640]

Should be a tech on the Baylor guy for that leglock at the end.

[WhatTheBuck 28,776]

Sochan better get called for that shit.

And he did.

Baylor kid didn’t let go of his leg, that was actually dirty as fuck.

Not gonna say its the dirtiest thing ever, hes the guy that does that type of shit to get under peoples skin, but its not a clean bball play and proper tech was assessed.

It's early.

Anyway, Jackson does a good job. 

[Underdog 28,614]

Sweet.  Top 4 seeds are 15-1, who’s the one? 
 

 

GDit!

[Scraps 13,561]

Baylor in big trouble. They look like shit.

[WhatTheBuck 28,776]

Both of those guys should get called for their hairstyles. Sochan too.

I honestly think Baylor didnt respect the Heels. And now they're getting roughed up.

[MirrOlure 14,761]

Baylor….3 man weave or Brown isolation. Lol

[Js1 85,313]

UNC not holding for the last shot was interesting. But it worked out 

[WhatTheBuck 28,776]

Neither team called a timeout in the first half.

6D chess: We allowed Shaka to go to Marquette so he could lay an egg against North Carolina like we knew he would, allowing UNC to get the rest and preparation they needed to beat Baylor for us. 

[Wulaw Horn 19,069]

Boy this bracket couldn’t get any better or open up anymore for us. 
it’s not like we are final 4 locks but there’s a real chance we could get there by beating an 11,3,7 and then 8 seed. It doesn’t get any cleaner as a path for a 6 seed. Remarkable really. 

[WhatTheBuck 28,776]

It took me a little bit before I figured out that “The road to New Orleans” was why they were showing excerpts of Jon Batiste’s Freedom video. It’s pretty good.

For your halftime entertainment:

One damn game at a time. I want to be excited, but we just got our first NCAAT win in 8 years. Let’s advance out of the first weekend for the first time in 14 years first! 

[Sal 1,088]

Who is Baylor losing next year? They'll lose Sochan, Brown, and Meyer to the draft in all likelihood. Thamba and Akinjo are seniors but might still eligibility

[dcar00 14,181]

meyer for baylor is really hateable.  everything is a foul.

If the Bruins get by St Mary’s, we got next on this game.  Go Heels!
