***NCAA Tournament- Round of 32 Games Thread***

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Late but oh well. Just finished up with the medal round for wrestling.

8 games on tap today.

Top seed Villanova is crushing Alabama, 78-47. It's worse than when we played them a few years ago and got spanked in the 2nd round. Nova won the title that year.

Villanova is a joy to watch, they share the ball so well, play sound defense, just a really well coached team.

Remaining schedule:

2 Duke
7 Rhode Island

5 Kentucky
13 Buffalo

3 Tennessee
11 Loyola-Chicago

1 Kansas
8 Seton Hall

4 Ohio State
5 Gonzaga

3 Texas Tech
6 Florida

3 Michigan
6 Houston

The start of the second half for Villanova felt so familiar. They were up 5 at the half and 25 just a few minutes later.

GO BUFFALO!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to see the KY inbreds to back into the final 4.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Anyone calling upsets today?

I think Florida sends TT packing (watch TT win that going away now).

Loyola has a chance against Tennessee, but I've been wavering on that one. Can Buffalo continue their hot streak or was their performance against Arizona a flash in the pan, or other factors at work (i.e. Sean Miller situation)?............

Now that the top of my south bracket is toast, Buffalo to the Elite 8.

I think Loyola is my only double digit in the sweet 16.

Too bad the NCAA didn't use some forethought and spread out the games today. The first (and only game ) was a Villanova blowout and now we're forced to watch Duke as the only option. Later tonight, they have a slew of game bumping up against each other.

 

[dawgs_04]

The schedule is that way every year on Sat/Sun for as long as I can remember. They'll get more viewers (and ad revenue) in the evening.

You don't want to watch rat face and his choir boy, Grayson?

I like the Michigan/Houston game. I like that Rob Gray.

Purdue trying to make it 2 B10 teams in the Sweet 16, leading Butler 73-67 with under 3 minutes to go.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Today's remaining schedule, in order:

Michigan State vs Syracuse

North Carolina vs Texas A&M

Cincinnati vs Nevada

Auburn vs Clemson

Kansas State vs UMBC

Xavier vs Florida State

West Virginia vs Marshall

 

[StormHawk42]

Purdue tried hard to give it away. Not sure they’ll get by Texas Tech.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

sparty looks terrible. ugly, brawl of a game. msu can't throw water in the ocean; they might be shooting under 30% from the field.
For some fans I guess it's one of those defensive gems that they like to talk about.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

MSU tourney choke job becoming the trend for Izzo?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Talk about and ugly shoving match of a "basketball" game. Puke

 

[SDHawkDoc]

And down goes sparty. They were just atrocious today in an ugly, poorly played affair. Almost certainly Bridges last game.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

It makes me sick that Syracuse and Kentucky can do what they do and continue with success. The NCAA lets them skate by too, so should Iowa sell out and say what the hell?

I posed this (tongue in cheek) last week and people were up for it.

Might as well, right? Can't take away our memories of winning national titles......even if we cheated and eventually have them stripped.

Of course they'd make an example out of Iowa cause we're Iowa. Yet they'd continue to let the likes of Arizona, Syracuse, and Kentucky do what they do.
