****Official NCAA Tournament R32 Saturday Thread****

[TheRifleman86]

Terrible Game --- wrestling match on a basketball court. LSU could have had 4-5 guys fouled out if the refs would have called 1/2 of the fouls that occurred. I hate watching games like this ... I'm not saying call a bunch of touch fouls, but what was allowed in this game was over the top.

 

[Franisdaman]

Regarding Maryland's defense on the final LSU possession:

 

[HawkInArk]

The LSU guard traveled on that last play. 3 steps.

 

[grayhair81]

If that wasn't traveling, it needs to be removed as a violation. That would have been traveling even in the NBA.

 

[Silver Creek]

You sir are 100% correct. I’m embarrassed at this moment to see that travel not called. No excuse to miss that. I am an official and to not be engaged in a down to the wire game is pathetic. I need to go back and look at his positioning.

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

Great, (vacated) advances to the Sweet 16.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Looking forward to watching Magee drain 3s all over Kentucky. F em

I have Kentucky in my brackets. My 9 year old daughter picked them to make it to the final game, because Wofford sounds like waffle, eventually losing to Gonzaga. I hope she’s the winner

 

[SotaHawk87]

I don’t care much for Coach Calipari

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Kentucky has their hands full

 

[anon_i8nzeu2gbf0ba]

Wofford 16, Kentucky 13, nine minutes to go in first half.

 

[StormHawk42]

Still fascinates me that Wofford has fewer students than many IIAC schools but has the program it does.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Hopefully today goes all chalk and the upsets are reserved for tomorrow

 

[anon_i8nzeu2gbf0ba]

Wofford now leading Kentucky 21-15 with 5 minutes to play in the first. Wofford is dictating the pace and playing disciplined, smart basketball. UK starting to show a little frustration.

BTW: Wofford, of Spartanburg, SC, has an undergrad enrollment of 1,653, FWIW.

 

[Nohawknamesleft]

I’m pulling for Wofford but waiting for the 2nd half. Yesterday, the highly seeded seeds took over in the second half.

 

[IaHawks03]

How wasnt that double dribble against wofford with like 15 seconds left

 

[Hawksfor3]

Been busy all day and just got in. Wow. The turtles got shaved!

 

[HawkLogic]

Still fascinates me that Wofford has fewer students than many IIAC schools but has the program it does.

Iowa is 18th in the country and 5th highest in B1G in Athletic department budget---we don't have enough money to compete with Wofford in B-ball or maybe Barta sucks.

[luvmyhawks]

Wofford is a pretty damn good team. #3 is a sharp shooting mofo.

 

[HungryHawk]

Imagine how good this team would be if Zion had decided to go to college in his hometown of Spartanburg and chose Wofford.

And in slow mo he even got a little right toe tap down as well. The move to get around the defender at the FT line was a carry as well. Defender had position but the extra half second of carry ball froze him, till he traveled passing defender # 3...

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

Game over. This tournament is going to suck. Sweet 16 is going to be the same top teams. No upsets.

 

[83Hawk]

Well, that should end Wofford’s hopes.

 

[unoHawkeye]

Wofford is a pretty damn good team. #3 is a sharp shooting mofo.

They’re going to need him to get going from deep like now

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

Wofford can still shoot themselves back in the game but can they get enough defensive stops to actually win?

And that was for 2016-2017 yet too

 

[TRHawkeye145]

I love MM! Come on Wofford

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

If McGee shoots bad Wofford would be leading.

 

[HungryHawk]

Those missed bunnies hurt.

 

[stillh8unlv]

Refs not helping Wofford's cause here

 

[83Hawk]

Officials swallowing their whistles for Kentucky.

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

This is a game you can say one player obviously lost the game for a team.

 

[83Hawk]

Wofford still has a chance! Would love to see McGee win the game with his only 3.

 

[HungryHawk]

Who wants it more?

 

[HungryHawk]

Wofford still has a chance! Would love to see McGee win the game with his only 3.

Was just thinking the same thing!

 

[stillh8unlv]

Maybe let the guy who has made a couple three's today take one

 

[HungryHawk]

Officials swallowing their whistles for Kentucky.

Found it again to bail out Kentucky.

 

[83Hawk]

Phantom foul going to bail Kentucky out.

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

He almost out-bad shot the entire Iowa team against Michigan.

 

[Im4Iowa]

Talk about trying to shoot yourself out of a slump. Give the ball up instead of taking a terrible shot.
