NCAA Tournament - General Discussion

This isn't the buffalo team i thought we'd see. SO many missed layups and free throws.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Agreed. Buffalo is getting caught up in WVA's defense.
They are a low turnover, fun team to watch.
They only average 7 turnovers a game.
They can shoot it, too.
Hey, Holton just fouled out with zero points!
There's Bob Sr.

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 9 years ago

I don't actually think Bobby says anything to Holton. Of course he won't. But he isn't thrilled with Holton and his effect on Dan's program.

Bobby's Bull's down 4 and just forced a shot clock violation. Bulls ball with 4mins to go down 4!

Tie game!!! Bobby's team ties it up on a 3. About 2 to go...

By the way, Holton fouled out with zero points and 1 rebound.

How Moss missed that layup is beyond me, going to have nightmares.

All tied up .... shooting 60% really helps a team come back ....

BPR2010 · Unread post by **BPR2010** » 9 years ago

Then don't secure the rebound/loose ball...Great effort from Bobby's guys today, but there is little margin of error in March. Bobby should be proud of his team though, great season.

Kingston · Unread post by **Kingston** » 9 years ago

the refs with constant fouls made that a horrible watch. Fucking Wally. I will have nightmares that he shows up at Stanford

ace · Unread post by **ace** » 9 years ago

So worn out, I feel like I played in that game. Wonder if Wally knows they have a sister, maybe he can track her down and ruin her day, too.

Strong effort from the Bulls. They finish their season at 23-10 and have a lot coming back for next year.

I has a sad for Bobby

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Huh?
Anyway, 49 fouls called.
Do these refs really think we watch basketball
to see them make lousy calls all day?

He did however attempt a three.

He had one rebound, one block, was 0-3 from the field, 0-1 from 3pt territory, 0-0 from the stripe. Not exactly the numbers you want from a big man.

ramfan85 · Unread post by **ramfan85** » 9 years ago

I'm not lovin' this tournament. My teams are dropping like flies.

ramswin · Unread post by **ramswin** » 9 years ago

A tie ball game with 2:00 left on the clock and he calls a foul when both players are fighting for position? It was all down hill from there. That ref with the dye job really has it in for the Hurleys. He is horrible. How the heck does he get a NCAA game?

Dillon Brooks of Oregon -- OH, WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BPR2010 · Unread post by **BPR2010** » 9 years ago

Davidson getting their doors blown off...Kalinoski getting 3 fouls in the first 12 minutes has hurt them a lot. Getting dominated on the glass by a bigger and more physical team tonight.

BPR2010 · Unread post by **BPR2010** » 9 years ago

Just not the A-10's year, down all around. Davidson was dominated in every way today, yikes.

ramfan85 · Unread post by **ramfan85** » 9 years ago

Kudos to those here who questioned Davidson all year. Take a bow.
We'd have done better.
Now it's up to Dayton, who's undermanned and tired.

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 9 years ago

I don't get how PC is good. They have 1.5 good players and a tall guy. The rest of their roster is filler.

BPR2010 · Unread post by **BPR2010** » 9 years ago

Without Dunn in this game, or any game for that matter, they aren't tournament quality. It shows how good he really is and how important he is to this team. They look lost without him in right now.

Dayton squandering a huge opportunity

Agreed TP, worst game of the tournament so far though. Brick after brick after brick.

It is all about the match up and Iowa was not a good one for Davidson.

Agree, I was the primary Davidson Doubter, and I had come around. Expected more from them today, but it was clear early the matchup was not good for them.

urirx · Unread post by **urirx** » 9 years ago

I have to share.. because it has me going right now... I was told on the A10 board that I had misguided hostility towards PC, and I didn't like them because they have a larger TV contract. I know trolling and all.. but really?

Shinze88 · Unread post by **Shinze88** » 9 years ago

Wow, pc is looking horrible, fortunately for them so is Dayton. Not sure why pc is settling for jump shots with such a size advantage.

Dayton is absolutely squandering every opportunity, they should be up by double digits. Sibert is really struggling from the perimeter, he knocks down a few and pc could be in trouble. I think Dayton will eventually wear down though, playing their 5th game in 8 days. Regardless, I dont see any of these teams beating Oklahoma.

BPR2010 · Unread post by **BPR2010** » 9 years ago

Right on cue Shinze, Dayton hits 2 straight from beyond the arc to extend the lead. This team is so scrappy and 5 games in 8 days may be tough, but the chemistry these 6-7 guys have is incredible. That's what happens when you have a core group playing together for such a long time.

Seawrightspostgame · Unread post by **Seawrightspostgame** » 9 years ago

Luckily pc sucks. 10 left. Give me a break, I know what a good team looks like that isn't elite. Not PC.

VCU was hosed by the refs. A10 is fine. I say that with the view going forward.

Why is Cooley dressed for the prom?

I'm just stating how this year went. Bright futures ahead for a young conference for sure.

Running Ram · Unread post by **Running Ram** » 9 years ago

I love the fact that Dayton is up and poised to win, but that tech on Cooley was just insane, most ref's are monkeys I swear.

Unread post by **SGreenwell** » 9 years ago

It's likely Henton did nothing but watch Marbury footage to prepare for this game. Unfortunately, it was Zach, not Stephon.

That call, and the flagrant on Dunn in the first half, were total BS calls.

BPR2010 · Unread post by **BPR2010** » 9 years ago

PC played arguably their worst game of the season. Didn't deserve to win this in any situation. Henton goes 5-22, Dunn with 7 TO's. However, the one comforting thing PC fans can take is that Dunn is likely back next year.

Also, that flagrant by the book is the right call. Stupid rule that should be changed this offseason, but it's been called that way all year.

Seawrightspostgame · Unread post by **Seawrightspostgame** » 9 years ago

Awful call. I have seen awful refing this time around in the tourney. Idk why they let P5 guys switch their pivot foot every play. Georgetown was a hack team. They gifted their win. 55 and 3 committed violations with the ball everytime for them.

A10 future is bright in talent if it all comes back.

Dayton is better than anything in the NBE not named Villanova.

Dayton is just a good basketball team. You have to beat them. Can't just hope.

Stop! Rammer Time · Unread post by **Stop! Rammer Time** » 9 years ago

Down with the Fryizz. I think I'll sleep well tonight.

I don't know how Dayton does it with such a short rotation, kudos to them for representing themselves and the A10 well, hopefully they can find some more gas left in the tank and beat Oklahoma.

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 9 years ago

Tough time for Henton to play his worst game as a Friar
Dunn looked over his head in the brightest lights, dumb call early on threw him off for rest of game.
Archie Miller can coach...if you cant stop Pierre you are toast.

Seawrightspostgame · Unread post by **Seawrightspostgame** » 9 years ago

Every guy Dayton plays is a good college basketball player. Sibert is an elite one. Their coach is somewhere between good and amazing.

+ they've been home. But they are just repeating.

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 9 years ago

Sweet win for Dayton and the A-10. The PC hubris went down in flames. I am reminded of comments from my Fairfield friends who would always tell me that while they liked Cooley, he never won the big games.

woodennickel1 · Unread post by **woodennickel1** » 9 years ago

It's a credit to a very well coached team with very good experienced players who in my opinion had a chip on their shoulder from being seeded eleventh. As a Pc fan yes I thought the officials were very bad but we had are chances tied at 33 in the second half and just got outplayed by a better team tonight.

I still think we got screwed having to play a team that in all reality should have probably been an eight seed playing in their home state.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Wow! Wonder how all our pals on Scout feel now.
All week long it was a trashing of Dayton, and how they were
going to blow them out, and how lousy the A-10 was.
They only beat us by 4 points, so how good could they be?
By the way, Scoochie Smith outplayed Kris Dunn.
Smith had only one turnover to Dunn's 7.
Anybody who didn't think Archie Miller deserved COY, had
better think again.
Davidson totally stunk tonight
What Dayton continues to do is incredible!
Let the excuses from Smith Street begin.

Worse than the jail-sexing they got at Villanova? Or the Brown game? Don't make excuses for them. They were never that good. One good game against a good Notre Dame game, and that is it. Everything they did in conference has to be viewed through the lens that their conference was fraudulent. The BE was way overseeded in the tournament, so it hasn't caught up to them yet. But it will.
