Here is the first round game schedule with times plus lets you know who the announcers will be.
Some of you might want to highlight the Ally Laforce games

While we wait for the games, Parrish, Norlander and Veccine torched the Selection Committee in today's podcast. They called this the worst seeding and bracketing ever seen.

Even Lunardi is questioning the committee's objectivity.

A lot of people are pissed. The A10 board is on fire.

Tulsa's AD is friends with the head of the committee.

Something's rotten in Denmark. Nothing really new, but it's getting worse.

On the Bracket Matrix, ZERO out of 80 had Tulsa in. 71 had the Bonnies in.

Posted: **Mon Mar 14, 2016 1:40 pm**

At least the selection show went smoothly...

Posted: **Mon Mar 14, 2016 1:46 pm**

Rioting and looting should ensue.....

Really, there should be some kind of boycott.

When they announced Tulsa in, everybody where I was knew the Bonnies weren't getting in, and couldn't believe it.

Posted: **Mon Mar 14, 2016 3:12 pm**

Someone on the selection show called the standards as a moving target. Changes every year.
I know my brother (SBU grad) is passed.

Posted: **Mon Mar 14, 2016 3:27 pm**

They [the committee] can twist things to look the way they want.

Some standards apply to certain schools, others to other schools.

Mid majors are going to get hosed more often than not.

It's the P5 conferences' sandbox, they get to decide who plays in it.

Posted: **Mon Mar 14, 2016 3:38 pm**

Bonnies with an RPI of 29 reached conference semi final, 20+ win season, no ticket. What is the friggen point of an RPI??

Posted: **Mon Mar 14, 2016 3:47 pm**

Parrish tweeted out that every P5 school with a sub-54 RPI made the tournament. EIGHT teams from non-P5 schools with sub-54 RPIs were left out.

Posted: **Mon Mar 14, 2016 4:08 pm**

How about Syracuse with a laughable 71 RPI? I think Vanderbilt was a 61.

Holy snikees Batman, that really sucks!

Posted: **Mon Mar 14, 2016 9:02 pm**

Interesting

Chattanooga has a great up and coming coach and very dangerous. Beat Dayton at Dayton and we know it takes a great team to do that

Northern Illinois, Florida Gulf Coast, SDSU all capable

But what about Cal Bakersfield under Rod Barnes gets the first NCAA bid in school history as they were a D2 school not all that long ago

PC isn't beating NC if they get there.

Bentil will be tough, but he'll be outnumbered.

Dunn will have to come up huge if they want to hang with them.

Of course, teams who have very good PG's are always dangerous in the Dance.

Posted: **Mon Mar 14, 2016 9:44 pm**

The key for PC is the 3rd scorer....when they get a big night from a third guy they can beat a lot of teams.

Posted: **Mon Mar 14, 2016 9:52 pm**

True, PC's bench came up big in the Villanova game, keeping them close after Bentil went out.

Actually BB had a rare bad game, his leg was bothering him.

Lindsey seems to be coming on too.....and Bullock played well.

I could see them giving Carolina a tough time, but not enough in the end.

Posted: **Tue Mar 15, 2016 8:27 pm**

Florida Gulf Coast slamming FDU in playin game. Can they give 1-seed UNC a game?

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 4:39 pm**

Yale may not win...but...they don't suck....

I think Yale is going to pull this one out. Great upset if it happens. UALR is a tough team and also could pull the 12 seed vs 5 seed upset

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 4:57 pm**

I picked UALR to beat Purdue. Didn't pick Yale to beat Baylor. Hope that I picked the right 12 vs 5 upset.

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 5:35 pm**

Yale wins.
Makai Mason with a career game 31 points and hit 11-11 FTs including 6-6 in the pressure packed last 1:36

First NCAA Men's Tournament for Yale ever in history!!!

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 5:37 pm**

Picked Yale

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 5:42 pm**

NEW HAVEN PRIDE .. haha

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 5:49 pm**

I am sure I know who RI Red and I will be rooting for later tonight in Raleigh NC and it won't be the South Carolina USC

Still in play.....

Yep, hopefully tonight is Dunn's last game in his college career.

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 7:27 pm**

Buffalo leading Miami late in the first half.

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 7:28 pm**

Where's the Chrabascz hater? 13 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 0 turnovers in Butler's opening round win.

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 7:50 pm**

What a game that UARL/Purdue! That's what makes this so great. These two days are always crazy good. Missed the Yale win.

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 7:56 pm**

Those 5/12 seed games are never easy....for the 5 seed.

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 8:40 pm**

It's downright uncanny how that keeps happening.

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 8:46 pm**

NC isn't having any fun so far tonight.

I'd be shocked if they lost, but it's still fun to see the some of the blue bloods struggle.....

UConn's run will end Saturday.....sorry 208.

They haven't shown they can play TWO good halves....that's what they will need if they want to be there at the end of that game.

I will say this, they are amazing at the FT line.....

maybe their run does end Saturday...but will be fun to watch anyhow.
And talk about FT's...how about that other team from CT?

And Bentil's too

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 9:28 pm**

That would be nice, ramster......

No way do we lose to them next season.....especially if he goes pro.

208, if you're talking about Yale, the kid who shot 11-11 won them the game, but a couple others almost cost them by bricking a few late too......

One guy shot 2 line drives, and another missed the rim entirely with 6.8 seconds to go and Yale up 2, good thing the Baylor kid lost the ball driving to the hoop after that...

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 9:37 pm**

You guys notice the Harrick commercial with the cancer survivors?

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 9:39 pm**

11-11 guy was enough

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 9:40 pm**

Seawrightspostgame wrote:You guys notice the Harrick commercial with the cancer survivors?

yes! there are at least a couple different ones

Posted: **Thu Mar 17, 2016 9:40 pm**

11-11 and nothing but net, clutch city.......

This USC team is brutal, they run no offense whatsoever... PC for sure got the best of the &/9 matchups

Posted: **Fri Mar 18, 2016 12:00 am**

Usc is trying everything to lose the game yet they lead.

Posted: **Fri Mar 18, 2016 12:01 am**

PC just got jobbed on that out of bounds on Jacobs knee.

USC cant hit free throws.

Fire enfield

Posted: **Fri Mar 18, 2016 12:02 am**

USC was so poorly coached down the stretch.

Well, they kept trying an d finally succeeded. What a choke.

Posted: **Fri Mar 18, 2016 12:05 am**

That was an exciting game with lots of empty seats.

Posted: **Fri Mar 18, 2016 12:05 am**

Posted: **Fri Mar 18, 2016 12:06 am**

Missed crucial free throws. Seems familiar. USC gets beat on a broken fundamentals talk play.

Posted: **Fri Mar 18, 2016 12:07 am**

The well documented topic of foul shooting was the downfall of USC tonight. Missed 3 front ends of 1-and-1's in the final 2 minutes tonight. PC reaped the benefits.

Posted: **Fri Mar 18, 2016 12:08 am**

It felt like Bullock was open for 30 seconds.

Posted: **Fri Mar 18, 2016 12:12 am**

This whole season has really sucked.

Posted: **Fri Mar 18, 2016 12:34 am**

Posted: **Fri Mar 18, 2016 7:13 am**

PC gets a gift but they won't be around after Sunday unless they play a hell of a lot better.

Some of these P5 teams should have stayed home. Vitale got it right.

There should be a limit on how many invites a P5 league can get. These 6th/7th place teams have no business being there.
