2024 NCAA Tournament - First Round Games - Thurs/Fri

[Prepuce of Doom 21097]

Totally unreasonable that the call can't be reviewed. 

[UTexasFight 9517]

This game may drag out to midnight.

let’s see if the slipper still fits 

[Carl Spackler 3488]

Samford got screwed

[Stringer 1439]

That sucks so bad for them. What an unbelievable play.

[Lonestar88 4698]

College refs fucking suck man.

[dcar00 14317]

officials suck ass.  completely took the chance away from Samford.

[Stringer 1439]

They need to be able to review that call. The NBA does it with Coach’s Challenges

[A’Dam Psycho 1470]

lol refs with the anticipation foul to kill a mid major tourney hopes

[InkaUtexas 26018]

No reason to call that as a foul. Helps my bracket, but Samford got robbed on that foul.

Not mine. I had samford

is there a program that gets more unbelievable calls in their favor than Kansas basketball?

[PittsburghTiger 6192]

Just got home from the games. We had three of four games won by the lower seed; Oregon, Oakland and NC State. 
 

Pretty fun stuff

[pops 7005]

21 for Samford is one of my best friends kid. I've known that kid since he was 8 years old. To get fucked on a call like that is heartbreaking. God damn it. 

[Longboard Horn 40397]

I have come to laugh at Kentucky. Hey NCAA, maybe stop seeding them so high.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

 

Lmao. Bijan with the Shaka troll might put his perfect bracket in jeopardy


Might

Having Texas win the whole thing might be an issue as well.

One of our crew noticed how we saw very little anger from the Kentucky fans. They seemed resigned to the fact that they would choke. It was strange.

[Rickylovesweed 14533]

I'm really not sure why anyone is surprised by the Kentucky result. 

They're #115 in adjD and they play a lot of FR. This was a team built for an upset in round 1. 

[Underdog 28755]

You called it earlier in the season, iirc.

Kansas player: I was "definitely" fouled.

Every other pair of eyeballs, besides refs:

[UTexasFight 9517]

Zags as the lower seed (albeit 1) favored by 4.5.

 

I find it somewhat interesting that UNC is the lowest favorite (-3.5) of Saturday’s games.

we’re 6.5 dogs but nice we get the primetime (7pm) tip on CBS

Just saw the highlight of the play. That was terrible. Totally an anticipatory call. Awful.

I also just read that Calipari talked after the game about how hard it is for his 19-year old four & five star recruits to play against 24- & 25-year old men from schools like Oakland.

He was really fun to watch running that system. Sickening that we didn’t get to see the last ten seconds play out with no call. Fuck Kansas.

just like CBS/NCAA wanted it with the Barnes/Texas angle.  would be nice to get to the 2nd weekend.

He's not wrong but that's his fault. Maybe he should recruit more transfers and adapt.

No one throws their players under the bus better than Calipari.

$33million buyout.

I don’t get it. Who is the gal on the left?

[Rickylovesweed 14533]

So Tre Mitchell ended up playing 5 years of college basketball for 3 teams and didn't win a single NCAA tournament game since he left the Texas team prior to the '22 tournament. 

At least his handler was paid in the process.

Actually, it was a real question. I’m not sure what it is that I need to “chill” about.

It's true. He's right about that. But, we all knew that. He has known that for some time now. You have to bring in some older players so that you can actually compete for championships. UConn just completely rebuilt their team in one year, that is the model to follow.

 

But if Calipari did that he couldn't brag about how great of a recruiter he is. That's his only bit at this point. How about we try becoming a great coach, coach. How about we stop bragging about how much your players make playing in the NBA. Kentucky doesn't employ you to get guys drafted and make money. They pay you to win at Kentucky.

What movie is that from?

[TreatyOak 16386]

Last year, the NCAA delighted in disrespecting Aggy for daring to question the system. 

They deserved a 5-seed

They were punished with a 7-seed.

Then they lost to a 10-seed who was probably given secret instructions to really play dirty. 

I'm a Longhorn fan, but someone really needs to file a Freedom of Information. 

 

[Js1 85449]

God I hope Hoiberg blows them out of the gym. The SEC looks like crap so far outside of Tenn 

[TrashMaster G 17581]

The ref that made that BS call in the Kansas-Samford game last night needs to be relieved of any further tournament duties.

Come on, reviews have to be dedicated to things like changing the game clock from 29.2 seconds to 29.4.   No way they can review game-deciding calls that look suspect.

Day 2, let's go

[Rip76 4946]

This is bad ass.

Damn I went to sleep and didn't see the KU block. What a crock of shit.
