MARCH MADNESS GAME THREAD

[Boomhauer]

The Big Dance creates miracles. I pulled for the Aggies against North Carolina.

 

[SnoSki]

Great win by FSU but I’m stunned Cincy lost that game. Weren’t they up by like 15-20?

22 points is what I read, I think.

Bad day for brackets in general.

My bracket is perfect so far but of course I forgot to write it down.

 

[Portland Frog]

WVU steamrolls Marshall. Didn't get to watch it but assume the press got em.

You are mixing comebacks, FSU was down big to Xavier and won, Nevada was down big to Cincy and won.

Teams in sweet 16, not too shabby:

B12: 4
ACC: 4
Non-P5: 4
B10: 2
SEC: 2

Cincy was up 22 with 11 minutes left.

Yep. Turnover city by Marshall.

 

[Jackson]

The fact that Syracuse in the Sweet 16 is proof they got a great draw. They were able to magnify our weakness and offset a strenght....poor point guard play & offensive rebounding (no second attempts for us).
Michigan State was good but not great in the weak Big 14.
All in all a very good couple of years....NIT Championship & NCAA at Large Bid. Could have been even better.

Our team's slump was at the end of the season.

It got us to the big dance but failed us when we got there.

Need to be playing our average or our best at the end.

[Tom Brown]

Lets give the Cuse defense some credit, they held 3 teams well below their average, asu and tcu were top offensive teams that sputtered due to the zone D.

It wasnt a good draw, or three teams having off nights.

Perspective people, our 4-2-5 gives powerful football offenses fits too

We won four of our last five conference games, I’d hardly call a close loss to Tech, arguably the best team in the B12, and KSU in tourney a slump at the end of the season.

look at the numbers(FG %, 3pt %, TO)
Baylor - 42%, 25%, 12
K State - 44%, 25%, 16
Tech - 40%, 21%, 11
K STATE - 46%, 41%, 14
Syracuse - 39%, 17%, 13
Average last 5 games - 42%, 25.8%, 13.2

Season average - 49%, 39%, 12.4

Not a slump... just below average?

 

[berryfrog95]

The last 3 teams we lost to are in the sweet 16.....tough pill to swallow with the first round exit, but hoping we’re headed on that upward trajectory.

I made a hole in one once, playing by myself. Hitting three balls.

What's happened to the PAC? Only 3 teams in the tournament, all already eliminated. Missed the CFP in football. ???

 

[Sebastian S]

A lot of upsets this season, almost making it a norm.

Do you prefer this or do you like seeing the traditional powerhouses going into the final 4?

I just want to see good games. Big upsets are great, but on the other hand they are often followed by some stinker games later in the tournament. A #1 seed versus a Cinderella in the Sweet 16 or Elite 8 can quickly become a blowout if the magic kind of wears off that Cinderella team.
