***OFFICIAL NCAA FIRST FOUR THREAD***
- Thread starter SotaHawk87
- Start date
Sturtz got the last rebound. Yasufu had a TO and missed the front end of a 1 and 1. I think he would have felt more responsible.
His aunt and uncle came up and talked to me in Las Vegas once due to my Iowa shirt.
They were only down 1 and he pulls up to shoot an even outside the NBA range three.

The glass is truly half-empty for you, isn't it? You crack me up, Eeyore.
The future Hawkeye head coach got his first NCAA tournament win.
Congrats to Drake on their first NCAA win in 50 years. Actually the first tourney win to the day.
Way to go, Drake! Happy 50th anniversary, of sorts...
Now we'll get the posters who say "But this isn't really a tournament game".
😉
Nah, Iowa St fans are long gone...
You are probably right about that. As far as I'm concerned, it is a tourney win.
I'm not taking anything away from Drake - the NCAA itself calls these first games actual tournament games - but I do see these first four matchups as "play-in" games, because, that is essentially what they're doing; trying to win a game, that only then slots them into the full 64-team field.
That's how I see it, how I'll always see it, and I'm unapologetic about it.
And before anyone asks - yes, I felt the same way when the Hawks played Tennessee in the First4 a few years ago.

Happy for my dad. He and I have seen a lot of losing at the Knapp Center over the years.
Well, there was only 5 seconds left after the missed FT, and it was a clean look. Iowa has done far worse several times this year.
I guess that means Drake played their way in, doesn't it? They did it shooting only 10 free throws, 3 of which were on intentional fouls. I'm not sure Drake even picked up a lose ball call in the second half.
The Bulldogs are going to take a big bite outta Trojan ass.
MSU/UCLA moved back to 9:19pm
sucks for the East coast fans
F the east coast
CONGRATS BULLDOGS!!!
I'm off the next 4 days, so late - and really late - starts are just fine with me.
If this is what people are calling great coaching, I want no part of it. Just street ball and Drake deserved to lose the way they tried to give it away at the end but one of two mediocre teams moves on...
Are you really that dumb?
Why do people post stupid stuff like this? Just why?
This game is the problem with Borowski. It was a wrestling match. That's not bball.
So far every team trailing at the half in the first four games has rallied to take the lead in the 2nd half. The first 2 went on to win. See if App State continues the trend.
I like this game. Michigan St loses and I get to laugh at Izzo or the B1G gets to keep all 9 invites into the 64-team field.
So either way, this game is a 'win, win' for me.

Players pretty much have to be knocked to the floor in the App State/Norfolk State for a foul to be called. Only 9 fouls combined between the teams with barely 2 minutes to go.
