There has to be some type of data out there that compares 3 point percentage in the regular season versus the first round of the NCAA tournament for each team. I bet it's much lower, on average. in the 1st round. 

This is why I've come to fade teams like BYU that are so reliant on the 3. For whatever reason, college teams can't shoot early in the tournament. 

It's because the teams get a week to prepare for their round of 64 opponents. After the round of 64, you get 30-40 hours to prepare for your next game.

Man, Tech could never get any momentum to cut into the lead.

Eh…fuck ‘em

He brought in almost everyone from the portal and had Isaacs already on campus. Lulz. He built the team he wanted.

This is fair enough assessment imo with the one caveat being I think him staying at UNT for the whole NIT hurt our portal efforts in the end. He wasn't named the coach until the last day of March and pretty much all of our portal additions were later than most teams.

He did get a couple good pieces though just a shame all of them got hurt at one point or another.

Yeah if Kolek isn't fully healthy that Florida game is 50/50. 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3236]

I have seen enough. Tech is cooked

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Long 3 for WSU, up 2 with 1:38.

If WSU's big wants another season and wants to play in a P5 league, I would like Texas to recruit him.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3236]

Dont look now, Samford down to single digits against Kansas

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Rough turnover there.

We weren't so reliant on it to start the season but when Washington went down they had no choice but to redo the offense really. We had good shooters so it was the only way for us to go forward.

[Stringer 1438]

Um, KU up only 8 now.

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Tech didn’t put up much of a fight in the second half

[HtownHorn 14668]

Tucker DeVries 2nd NCAAT game where he sucked it up.

They’ve made one more 3 pointer than me and I’m not playing

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Welp, Drake fucked this all up. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Without McCullar, KU isn't very good. I would be pretty surprised if they beat Gonzaga even though it was a down year for them.

I am not certain they are beating Samford

[HtownHorn 14668]

Here we go. KU's 20 point lead down to 4.

[Degenerate Gardner 4085]

Still too early for a Fire a Bill Self thread

[gofuckyourself 8205]

I think I'd be okay with both Kentucky and Kansas losing. Yeah, that'd be alright.

Sorry meant Samford

[dcar00 14154]

[Hank_Hill 18793]

Hahaaaa fuck Tech 

[Stringer 1438]

That’s probably it. They had some chances

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Fucking BOOM! 

[BigOrange1 6433]

damn, throw it down!

[CurlyDumps 4468]

When was the last time Kentucky had, like, a normal tourney loss?

[UTexasFight 9429]

What cramps?

[InkaUtexas 25870]

FUCK IT LETS GO SAMFORD!

[chase25 2048]

Hold your butts

[InkaUtexas 25870]

Thought that was a foul.

[UTexasFight 9429]

They won’t die 

 

they look like shit, but won’t die 

[LonghornSean 3989]

Bullshit foul call

[dcar00 14154]

samford just got fucked...

[kingkoopa6 8347]

ALL BALL

[InkaUtexas 25870]

That was all ball.

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Rough missed call

[UTexasFight 9429]

Man what a shitty shitty break 

 

And Samford was there to pick up the block 

[dcar00 14154]

stupid official anticipation call...

[Hank_Hill 18793]

I’m 30ft away from the TV at the gym and I could see that was a clean block

[kingkoopa6 8347]

Why even call that. Bs 

[Vic Mackey 47012]

Moral victory!!
