2022 March Madness Thread

Delaware player goes up for a fast break dunk and is mauled, Villanova player didn't even touch the ball at all, and the refs said it was a clean block and played on

Those two teams are maybe 30 miles apart as the bird flies (near Philly) and they had to go all the way to Pittsburgh to play. (and at today's gas prices.) Sorry for the Blue Hens (UDelaware has a very nice campus and Southern Living magazine named it one of the South's most beautiful colleges (2017)- Georgian like UVA, UNC, SMU - ug alma matter to our President...I'll stop while I'm ahead.)

If you told me Delaware would have dominated points in the paint and won the turnover battle I'd say did we just see another 15 over 2 upset... but Villanova got it done from the 3 point line today.

Not since the days of Rollie Massimino...

22 of 29 from the field in the 1985 final, and 9 of 10 in the second half. Dwayne McClain claimed that the one second-half miss was an intended pass to Ed Pinckney that was scored as a Ewing block.

They called it the "perfect game," but Villanova had 17 turnovers that night.

I am thinking of creating a "Ref Assistance Index" statistic that measures how much a team was aided by the refs. Despite trailing by 13 right now, Illinois is being helped out a ton by the refs

Texas may be rising to the occasion, and with Kentucky losing, the Horns have some running room to the final eight versus Baylor or whomever comes through the top half of the East Region. Texas plays 3 seed Purdue next, but the Boilermakers may be overrated, having poor defense.

You should do it.

Wright State is not smart trying to get into a track meet with Arizona

You can only beat Arizona by slowing the game down

I sat in the Pub and watched that game. It was like they simply couldn't miss, and they didn't.

With that being said, what should our philosophy be? If, of course, we don't ingest a chicken bone sideways this evening...

Arizona looks vulnerable. Let's take care of Seton Hall first. Go Frogs!

 

[LVH]

Arizona is not impressing me at all.... please beat Seton Hall

 

[Endless Purple]

Would like to see TCU beat Arizona.

Still to far away for me. For now, I plan to go out to a sports bar tonight. Watch the first half, then go home and check the final around midnight.

What? I think almost everyone wants David vs David.

This thread sucks

not as bad as the refs though. Amirite?

 

[Rabidfrog]

what ATT channel is our game on? Anyone know?

 

[BrewingFrog]

A little thumb on the scales in the last seconds of the half of LSU-Iowa St...

 

[Creeperfrog]

Is someone going to start a TCU game thread? I don't want that much responsibility. I can already tell from watching other games this is going to be an extremely hard watch for me
