2019 NCAA Tournament: First Round

[WBT 20888]

Had the pass but the on ball defender tipped it

[Underdog 29112]

Well shit. 

[phdhorn 6225]

And the Terps get out of it victorious!  YES BITCH!
Buh-bye, Belmont.  Nice try, but you get the fat chick.

I haven't watched enough Michigan State this year to fully understand the Henry-Izzo relationship, but that outburst seemed really personal, and it also appears that it happens often. Way beyond a coach who just thinks a player isn't playing up to his ability. That was a "you F'd my wife" kind of stuff. Anybody have the scoop on this?

Maybe you answered your own question...

Candi’ed

One thing I hope goes away, sooner rather than later, is the guys on the bench holding each other back after a big play. Because if they were not holding each other back they'd be rushing the court, right?

The game has been played in its reasonably modern form, for about 50 years, and I don't remember players having to hold each other back from rushing the court.

 

Sparty and the Terps get through. It is something how Sparty just keeps coming up with the same formula, year after year.

Time to switch over to Murray State v Marquette.

[Machinator 32102]

Murray State vs. Marquette is as advertised.

[Pancho 46090]

how is Northeastern a 13 seed yet Bradley is a 15 seed? 

[PittsburghTiger 6320]

I wonder if Saint Mary's has anything for Villanova

[LTtxfan 49916]

B12 is undefeated......

B12.....B12.....B12

Murray State racers going to ride Ja Morant's coattails into the sweet sixteen

[Onboard 2.0 9083]

WTF was Izzo going off on Henry for ?  That was disturbing to watch.  He had to be physically restrained .

Then he went off on the other kid.  Dude getting ready to lose his shit and pull a Woody ?

[Catdaddyhorn 3462]

What schools recruited Ja Morant? This dude is insanely good. First time watching him and I didn't realize how smart a player he is.  I don't understand how this kid could play AAU ball alongside the most highly recruited player in recent history and go unnoticed.  

[LonghornJudas 1137]

You can see the fear in #22's eyes when guarding Morant. Giving him A LOT of space.

[LonghornJudas 1137]

And he just got posterized.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8964]

Ja morant. That dude

[ztejas 44114]

This kid is fucking sick. 

[Zepol87 9308]

Baller

[Underdog 29112]

Howard is capable of shooting Marquette back in it. 

[LTtxfan 49916]

Murray State and Belmont should have been seeded higher...... both really fun to watch!!

[SimonBolivar 11040]

the big man can move!

[ButtFumble 5246]

KU wraps it up easily that is a semi loss for aggy since it is a Big 12 win

[Brian Fantana 6856]

Sick dunk brah

Easiest upset pick of my life

[PittsburghTiger 6320]

I am not opposed to seeing Marquette lose. Should be a frantic end to the game.

[dcar00 14908]

0 for marquette would fit right in with us.

[ztejas 44114]

Damn. You're a genius. You must be the only person that took Murray State in this one. 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8964]

Murray state is bad ass

Markus Howard, one of the best players in the country?

Australians.

[PittsburghTiger 6320]

Who is the little guy with the beard in the middle on the TNT studio show?

[PittsburghTiger 6320]

Damn, that kid can pass. Go on, bring out a slow big guy to the top of the key to double me.

[ztejas 44114]

Morant is the best passer I've seen at the collegiate level in some time. 

[PittsburghTiger 6320]

How did Morant get recruited out of South Carolina?

They were just discussing. I think he was a late bloomer and Murray State was an early caller. Morant went with them out of respect or some such. 

[PittsburghTiger 6320]

This is just an ass-kicking.

[LTtxfan 49916]

What about Nevada and their roster full of 23+yr old players?

"The Wolf Pack’s top seven in minutes played are transfers, as are the top six scorers. They are the current result of a program philosophy that’s seen 15 incoming transfers during Musselman’s three-plus seasons with Nevada."

[kopp0e 1135]

I need to get there (next year)...

Pitt had a kid transfer to Nevada this season. He didn't want to get in shape and left. Next day he announced he was going to Nevada.

[LonghornJudas 1137]

15/10/15 for Morant. Jesus.

[PittsburghTiger 6320]

Nice outlet for the dunk!

[Braff Zacklin 13675]

Murray State as a 12 seems like a middle finger to anyone else in the West.

[ztejas 44114]

As a Spurs fan watching Ja play 

[Scraps 13758]

Whatever gives Wojo a loss is cool with me

[VirginiaLonghorn 4878]

Murray State ... Cindarella?

Nevada's version of "Grumpy Old Men" now playing on TNT 

[phdhorn 6225]

Nevada and their man buns.. yeah you can tell they're old fugs.

My guess is either that he was "academically qualified" (yuk yuk) or had begun his goal of getting a degree in Hotel/Entertainment Management.

Oh that's right.... wrong story.....

[MNLonghornFUKM 8964]

i wonder if those Nevada players ever confuse the twins. Siamese look, and very similar numbers. "oops, passed to the guy whos 3-10 this game and not the one whos 9-11"
