Me too. I loved man bun. He was on the Rockets for the preseason. I wonder if he is playing somewhere. Corey Davis is one of my favorite college players

He's averaging 17.1 a game for Fort Wayne in the GLeague.

this is the game thread from last year March 2018 Tech - Nova  .  Guess who wrote all those comments. 

 

Nova's physical style receives benefit of the doubt.  they pretty much have to foul Tech twice on the play for it to be called.

Brunson lowers his shoulder on the drive...foul on Tech.Culver gets bumped all the way around the perimeter...no call.

Last 3 Tech possessions, the shooter was fouled. No fucking whistle.  Fuck this game. We have no fucking shot if they can just play gorilla ball with no consequences.

Yep.  because nobody ever gets pissed off during a game thread and nobody ever gets the benefit of hindsight/ reflection in a more sober( unemotional) state.

Coogs lost that game, need revenge. 

Should have had a rematch later that season, but... you know...  3-33...  fuck! 

[SwanderedTalent 5761]

I wonder how the TV ratings will be, going forward. Awful lot of football-first Southern schools in the Sweet 16 and a really underwhelming tournament in general thus far

That helps, along with Michigan, but I still think casual viewership is at risk when the bracket's filled with football schools after two rounds of chalk-won blowouts. 

If the games were scintillating, it wouldn't matter that much either way, although a program like Indiana will draw casual interest in a way Auburn or LSU doesn't.

Works for me. I’m a pussy at picking upsets so my brackets are usually chalk heavy. I did manage to get both Oregon and Auburn right and my only miss was I picked Nova over Purdue. My bracket is second place at work.

I know it’s been bitched 7 ways from Sunday, but Zion not called for a charge (reminscent of Baylor/Duke in Houston ‘10), then  push in the back on the FT, and of course Duke puts one in.  Fuck those limey fucks and Coach Splinter’s cheese eating ass.   Fuck 

   Know the rules. Dude is standing in the circle. Not a charge.

I do know the rules, and B.J. Taylor was about 5 feet outside of the circle. Zion just bulldozed his ass. 

 

 

 

['stache 22118]

Defenders feet were moving and Zion didn't extend his arm. Not a charge.

Viewership should be fine.  Of teams that usually move the needle, only Kansas didn't get out of the first round, but they'd have been playing North Carolina...so that game will draw casual viewers, anyway.  Having 3 legit blue bloods + Michigan State favored in S16 games is just about as good as you can be at this point.

   The defender chested up to Zion and wasn't even on the side that Zion was traveling in. Zion was passively going left to right to set up the spin move, as the guy flopped during the contact that HE himself created. I hate Duke as much as the next guy, but I would be mad at the refs for calling that. He didn't extend an arm or anything. If you watched the game, said dude had been flopping the whole time.

[phdhorn 6225]

Yeah I looked at that a few times and Zion went through 2 guys... the first one was clearly not offensive - Taylor was moving.  The second one could have been called either way, but it wasn't blatantly offensive either.  But Fall was standing still.  I think that was definitely offensive.

However if Fall would have used his humongous size and stood firm, Zion would never have made that shot, and he's be shooting 2 at the line at worst.  Fall just "fell" back.  Brace himself and push back and that ball would have died.

Anyhoo, so it goes.

He absolutely did extend his arm are you blind?

Edit: I should say though it was not nearly enough to be a charge under normal circumstances. The main problem is Tacko Fall being soft as bubble gum despite his giant size.

[Catdaddyhorn 3462]

I don't believe that play was a charge,  but Taylor moving has nothing to do with it. As long as the player is in legal guarding position he/she can still be moving and draw a charge.  The days of a player having to be completely still to draw a charge have long since passed.

Yep, since at least 2010.

It'll probably be fine, but the lack of a real cinderella will put a lot of potential viewers off.  Oregon's name value is too high for cinderella status.

[Pancho 46080]

You can moving and still take a charge.

I don't have a problem with either, especially Houston. Are we supposed to hate Houston??

I get Baylor and Oklahoma. But Tech and Houston are harmless.

Worst tournament I can remember.  The best game involved fucking Duke pulling one out over an underdog.  Meanwhile, most of the 2nd round double digit seeds were BCS state schools (Ohio State, Oregon, Minnesota, Iowa, Florida) and Jerry Falwell's "college" and we now have a Sweet 16 consisting entirely of Power 5 schools other than Gonzaga and Houston.

Agreed. The 1st 2 rounds besides a few games were pretty fucking dull, especially the 2nd round. The only memorable moments was a last second shot by LSU and 2 missed attempts by UCF. Hopefully the remaining rounds can be a lot better.

[A-Tex Devil 2495]

I disagree.  That said, is this the chalkiness sweet 16 ever?  Only 2 seeds that “shouldn’t” be there based on seed.

The tournament is all about those moments. How many has this tournament had? 2 in 48 games? And one of those was 2 missed shots by UCF.  This tournament has been very ho-hum. Even the close games don't have those moments. 

And I don't mind a chalk tournament.Upsets are fun but a lot of times, those teams get drilled as they move on. I like that all the big dogs are still in it.
