If we beat Duke by 20 I will pee all over people.

I'll do it anyways.

I was at a craps table outside of Baltimore watching the game. Wild scene.

I love that this is happening the year the committee went with the rigged Quadrant system.

UVa had their St Joe's Senior night game yesterday. Rhody fortunately had its inexplicable game result some 2.5 weeks ago. Rather it was then and not now.

Odds may now favor UMBC. No 16 seed has EVER lost in the round of 32.

Me too. I usually root for any P5 team that will play us in the regular season.

PC fans have really lorded their membership in the Big East over URI for decades now. They have argued it put them at a level far above Rhody. The amusing reality is however that URI has the same number of NCAA wins (8) as PC since the Friars joined the original Big East back in 1979. Rhode Island could actually move ahead of them with a win today.

Me 3. They are doing fine against Villanova. Only down 5 at the half and it is usually closer than that.

RF1 · Unread post by **RF1** » 6 years ago

It is getting out of hand for Alabama. Villanova pulling away up by double digits.

Maybe we should happy we're not playing Nova after all.

TulaneGradRamFan · Unread post by **TulaneGradRamFan** » 6 years ago

I guess Villanova was only shooting 33 percent in the first half. Now their baskets are going in and they are getting 80 percent in.

TulaneGradRamFan · Unread post by **TulaneGradRamFan** » 6 years ago

In one respect, Villanova is similar to the Rams. They have a lot of guys who can step up and make baskets. Alabama seems to only have one player trying to do everything.

What a shot to spring Michigan for the last second win over Houston!! I was hoping Houston would win. My bracket is shot and Rob Gray is tough.

Yeah it sucked playing Duke, but we could have avoided it. If this team didn't lose to St Joes by 30 at home and then blow a late lead at Davidson we aren't playing ANY 1 or 2 seeds in the second round. Take care of business and avoid the "bad luck of the draw"

It was still an amazing season and I love this team.

Keep in mind Purdue is missing 7'2 stud center Isaac Haas to go along with 7'3 Haarms. The two Edwards can play too.

I still think Duke was the worst possible matchup for us out of all the 1s and 2s. Thought that since the bracket was unveiled.

there is a big gap in skill and athleticism between a Carter/Bagley duo and a Haas/Haarms duo

Great time in Pittsburgh...drove down and back with some great fans. Thursday was a blast and the pre-gamers on Thursday and Saturday were awesome. Saturday roof-floor party in particular was a top-notch production. Great to see so many traveling fans, need to make these a regular thing. Gotta ante up, I guess, to get that 'lower bowl' seating next year.

Easily the worst matchup out of any tournament team.

Not that I care about Syracuse one bit but who do you think deserved to get in ahead of them ? I personally thought it was a very soft bubble and any team left out probably had a lot of warts themselves.

Largest 2nd half comeback in the history of the NCAAT...

RF1 · Unread post by **RF1** » 6 years ago

Epic loss by Cincinnati to Nevada. AAC once again fails to distinguish itself much in the tournament. Same number of teams, wins, and units as the A-10 this year despite its teams having better seeds. Since its inception, the AAC trails the A-10 in the number of teams sent (15 vs 18) to the NCAA and in units earned (27 vs 29). If not for the 2014 championship won by UConn, the AAC would be really far behind the A-10.
