March Madness

[A Maybe Baker]

lmao Bama might actually lose at this rate.

I'm guessing, if that's the case, that SMC will cruise by Vandy and then get an easy path to the Sweet 16. SMC might just get there anyway even if Bama does win. Not giving good vibes for the SEC if Gonzaga crushed Georgia, and the team that beat them in SMC has a potential path through two SEC teams.

Miss St is within 2 and they have fouls to give. In a very good spot if Baylor can't make their shots.

They have a lot of fouls to give, but they need to give them when Baylor isn't taking a shot.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Of course Baylor should try to not foul on three pointers.

That was dumb AF. Second defender came in and just wasn't looking, so the shooter landed on his foot as he ran by

 

[Fool's Requiem]

imagine fouling someone shooting a 3...

 

[Fool's Requiem]

After Baylor made their free throws I was like "Just don't foul someone shooting a three" and then they went and did just that...

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Oof. And 1.


HELL of a play right there.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

oh wtf is this bullshit

no basket

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Heh, they said not on the shot after review.

And then another foul. So much for fouls to give.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

RMU up a point on Bama with less than 7 to go.

how is robert morris keeping it so close against alabama? it's just one guy!

 

[Fool's Requiem]

we're gonna have a buzzer beater on this Baylor game

"Just 1 guy" in basketball can win you games you shouldn't have any business winning. Winning championships that way doesn't work out, but certainly games like this, especially against a team that likely simply looked past your matchup.

i was making a joke about how the school's name is also a person's name...

lol fair. I mean their offense tends to be just one guy as well so I couldn't tell.

Also Robert Morris is, like, super dead.

Felt like that was the case with Creighton last year.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Baylor going to get destroyed by Duke on Sunday.

... I definitely don't understand basketball fouls...

No touch except when good

 

[Jon]

Since it’s not going to last I’m just going to say first place is nice right now!

Especially for a guy who couldn’t name a single player in college basketball!

My bracket is in shambles

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Memphis decided to suck today

I'm back baby

I’m ranked a perfect 10

I seem to be tied for first. I went out for dinner with my buddy to celebrate and all my picks won then. So I guess I need to celebrate more.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

As long as my Sweet 16 remains in-tact, I'm comfortable.

Only upset pick remaining is New Mexico over Marquette. Looks like I picked New Mexico to pull off an upset last year, too. They got destroyed. They're doing much better this year. Still no guarantee because they're playing Marquette.

New Mexico and Marquette are pretty evenly matched in the grand scheme of things as well. It's a hard one to predict for sure.

Pack it up boys, New Mexico has got this one

I noticed I still have Oklahoma over UCONN. Based on the games they played, I may have made a mistake. UCONN has good wins against strong opponents.

I hate UConn with a passion and I still picked them lmao

 

[Fool's Requiem]

when's UMASS gonna make a run?

 

[Local Hero]

I went to OU and I still picked UConn

 

[A Maybe Baker]

when's UMASS gonna make a run?

In the 90s.

We're joining the MAC next year so probably not unless we pick up winning football and get invited to a better conference.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

If you want UMass to make a run, watch the hockey tournaments. We won the championship a couple years ago and are consistently making tourneys. Will be a 3 seed this year. Got a fucking fantastic coach.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Although UConn is going to be a 2 seed in hockey this year dammit. We helped them get into our conference in hockey because it'll become a fun as hell rivalry though.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

OU is not off to a good start. Not a good sign

 

[Fool's Requiem]

as long as Florida wins on Sunday, this result won't have any last effects like when Kentucky lost in the first round last year.

fucking Kentucky, man...

 

[Local Hero]

God damn Oregon is fire

 

[Cam]

Vandy lost both men's and women's yesterday, and I officially hate college basketball again. See y'all next year.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I had to go against my want to have Akron progress knowing full well they stood mo chance.

Next year, though. Akron is going all the way.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Clemson couldn't beat this team?!

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Purdue isn't even playing well outside of making threes...

 

[Fool's Requiem]

ugh, this game blows and I have to wait an hour and 40 minutes for the next game...

Edit: Purdue is not beating Gonzaga or Houston... Sloppy ball all game.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Who do I want winning this game if i want Texas Tech to continue to the Elite Eight? I had them beating Kansas in the Sweet Sixteen.

Edit: St John's is playing like ass right now.

Edit 2: St John's has the momentum now.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

St John's is falling apart.

Arkansas might get their best player back for the Sweet Sixteen of they win this game.

Edit: Arkansas lost their big center to foul trouble. Might help St John's a bunch.
