*** Omnibus NCAA Tournament games thread ***

Exactly. I have no problem with Iowa State playing in Milwaukee. The selection committee certainly gave the Cyclones a favor. But they could have put Iowa in that pod as well.
Considering the SC didn't seed the Hawks as a 4 - which they more than deserved after the past 5 weeks and then winning the BTT vs 3 straight NCAA tourney teams - then podding Iowa in Milwaukee or hell, even Indianapolis, is the least they could have done.
 
Watching Illanoying luck out and then ISU lucking out due to circumstances, after the s*show of yesterday, has me

That's tournament basketball. Always games where a team that shouldn't advance does. That was Chattanooga's game for the taking! Illinois had no business winning that game.
The Killer for the Moc Fans is that the refs failed to call an obvious goal tend in the first half which was the difference in the game...I think Kofi had even slammed the backboard too - not sure how in the heck NONE of the zebras saw it either...
 
So it's a foul in the first half but because it happened at the end of the game it shouldn't be called? Are you the ref that swallowed the whistle on Kris's three yesterday?
That brings up a great point. Do you think Iowa would have gotten that call if they were Miami in that situation?
 
Watching this Michigan St v Davidson game, and I can't root for either.

Not Michigan St, because Izzo and how his working the refs has screwed us over in a big way, multiple times, in the past.

And not Davidson, because they choked in the A10T final and thus let Richmond steal a bid and used the chance to upset my Hawks yesterday. (incredibly petty, I know, but I'm a sore loser)

You know what really pisses me off?

IF ISU holds on to this, and Wisconsin plays their worst game possible on Sunday - or gets upset tonight vs Colgate - that means ISU would not only play in Milwaukee in the two opening rounds, but would also reach the Sweet 16 and get to play in Chicago!


HowTF does an 11-seed get catered to like that!?!?

Way to beat a team reeling after having their coach fired between the Selection Show and game time tonight, Clowns.

Real hardship there.

As an Iowa fan, can you really talk shit right now? Hawks were the team with all the MO this year and lost to the Richmond Spiders. The Richmond.. ****ing... Spiders,.... just stop... the ****ing Richmond Spiders.
 
It's becoming obvious the refs in the tournament aren't calling it much different than the B10 refs did. They're letting a lot of physical play go unchecked.

Fail to see how the two situations - Richmond and LSU's - were remotely similar, but whatever.

Still hate ISU and will never root for them in anything.

I think the point of the poster was that the situations weren’t similar, but one team took advantage of their opportunity while the other took a massive dump.

Well, one of the hottest teams in the country lost in the first round to the Richmond Spiders (12 seed) and ISU, who floundered and looked embarrassed in their conference tourney won their 1st round game against a power 5 team in LSU.

We lost to the Richmond Spiders. We have a lottery pick, and lost to the Richmond..................Spiders in the 1st round.

Just shut the **** up and move on, because the Hawks are one of the embarrassments of the tournament.
