2023 NCAA Tournament - First Round

[TexArcher 38816]

Expected a little more from the cheerleaders at ASU...

[Underdog 29099]

Guess not. 

[dcar00 14899]

crap

[shadow_operative2.0 16177]

Two good late finishes, at least. 

[Stunns38 3763]

The roaches got lucky there

[Surly Bevo 25654]

Roaches survive

[HtownHorn 15243]

No desperation heave for ASU this time.

[PittsburghTiger 6318]

That was clutch.

[Sbbruin 22082]

Damn

[Pancho 46046]

Wow. 

 

[troph 25088]

Hate is the right word for TCU but that was awesome.

[HtownHorn 15243]

Does Avery not know that Miles didn't make the game winning shot? 

[The Ace of Aces 5366]

Mike Miles Jr had a little Max Duggan in him. 

[Big Frog II 522]

The Frogs survive!

[shadow_operative 15932]

great decision to pass on the three and drive, and an unbelievable performance by mike miles jr. he is not human. 

[Underdog 29099]

The Type of shot the Kennesaw players should've went with instead of trying to lay it off the glass. 

[TexArcher 38816]

Nice shot.  Y'all still suck.

[troph 25088]

And number 10 kinda shit the bed down the stretch. Missed two FTs, drove and was blocked then gave up the drive at the end.

[WBT 20879]

Looking like the flashes aren't going to make this last game worth staying up for

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Hurley drawing a play then remembering that he doesn't have Laettner or Hill.

Or that he can’t be on the floor. Never liked him but the guy could ball.

Yeah they were supposed to win. Whateves roaches. 

[Surly Bevo 25654]

So 3 seed and the historically good for one upset 5 seed are the only two seed lines where all 4 advance

[WBT 20879]

alley oops

[dcar00 14899]

Kent State seems dumb

Indiana doesn't look at all like a 4.

I mean somehow they finished 3 games behind Purdue while beating them twice.

Big balls. ASU seems like they should be better than an 11 seed. Not saying they were misseeded rather they underachieved.

You missed my point…not saying they were misseeded, rather that they underachieved fbis season relative to their talent level. 
aggy said they were misseeded.

Matt Painter is considered a good coach why? Purdue has lost to a 13, 15 and 16 in the past 3 tournaments.

from a previous Wikipedia edit tonight:

[AUS-97HORN 11991]

so obviously the big upsets were huge... but overall, there really wasnt a lot of actual carnage. 

 

1   1 seed

1   2 seed

1   4 seed

1   6 seed

1   7 seed

and two 8 seeds went down in the first round.  thats only 7 out of 32.   that might honestly be one of the lowest overall upset numbers in a long time

 

i mean hell, when was the last time a 5 seed didnt get knocked out?

historically thats the "highest" seed that always has 1 or 2 losses every year. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16177]

Yep, pretty bad two days of hoops overall. Take out the FAU & TCU finishes, & we’re really bitching.

Not even close 

[shadow_operative2.0 16177]

Not even close to what? You thought there were plenty of good games? We’ll just agree to disagree on that. 

Obviously next two days should be markedly better. 

[TrashMaster G 18029]

So I have 15 of my Sweet 16 still alive.

F'n Purdue.

His ultra competitiveness can’t rub off these days. Penny won’t sleep for a week because he’s so pissed off. The players will forget in an hour.

He’s the one that ought to be used to not advancing past the first round

FTR, White Manna is just down the road from FDU, drive by it every time we go to WM. 

Ha, it’s on a DDD rerun right now. Now I really want. 

[Horn80 6313]

Purdue should fire Painter.

[BevoAbyss 2165]

Ha ha Purdue!

Every time Purdue loses, I think of Panama Myers and that beautiful blocked shot in the last second that sealed the huge upset win for Texas (1990). And the Purdue coach storming off the court because no goal tending was called. 

And Penders with his 1980s-style hip haircut! Lulz!

Good memories.

It’s a gag.  Every time ISU beats Iowa or KSU, their fans spout that nonsense about how they’re focused on more important things.  So every time ISU loses he posts a version of that.

I had Memphis over Purdue so… either way- who cares. If you had Duke over Purdue to the EE this is a huge relative net win for your bracket. 

[Js1 86924]

All the 5s survived what is a typical upset matchup. 

And the 6 team seeded 1-7 who lost all came from a diff conference (B1G, Pac, ACC, Big 12, SEC, AAC)

Your forgetting that Aggy was a 5 seed masquerading as a 7 so the streak continues….

The very illegal act by the NCAA committee that aggy will get to the bottom of during their massive investigation

Feels like a lot of these teams that won in tied games really late decided to go for the easier 2 and win than the horrible 3 that just sends the game to OT. Thinking about FAU and TCU. Normal year, both would have likely taken a bad 3 and gone to OT.
