I swear if Whisky loses, I will never have them winning in another bracket. Been burned too many times.
EDIT: They got spanked.

Duke will roll them 2nd half. Coach K will not be a happy man in that locker room.
Virginia looked awful early, but righted the ship after the half.
Buffalo looks really good. They will not be an easy out for anybody.

Re: Games of Interest - Post Season Play
Nate Oats has passed the Hurleys on the coaching totem pole as of now.
If they win a couple more games, he could have his pick of available P5 jobs. Maybe even if they don't.
If Boeheim were to quit after this season, which I know isn't likely, I could see Oats at Syracuse.
Oops, this post belongs in the coaching carousel thread.

I’m watching these blowout games and remembering how much fun it was to watch Eric and Will get in that win against Creighton.
Nate Oats almost quit coaching- hard to imagine! I couldn’t be happier for him and his family.

I don’t see a run by either VCU or SLU. So weak offensively.

Re: Games of Interest - Post Season Play
A- 10 last year earned five NCAA units with three teams and Bonnies play in win and URI 1st round win over Oklahoma. Looks like just two this year with dreadful first game performances by both VCU and St Louis. Counting Dayton and Davidson in the NIT, the league had ZERO post season wins. Worst showing in some time.

The whole conference does. They have barely any good non conference wins between all the teams combined. Someone at work told me they were taking St.Loius three rounds in the tourney. I wouldn’t take them 3 minutes

Still think this conference was solid this year. Don’t forget , this is March, plenty of crazy unforeseen outcomes today and yesterday.

VCU and St. Louis laid enough bricks to build a subdivision.
Their 3 pt. shooting was pathetic....
Just a bad year for the conference....nowhere to go but up.

Agree with Ace. As much as I love the upsets, I have a hard time rooting for anything that Fallwell touches.

VCU while getting to the NCAA in all but one of its seven years as a member of the A-10, has but just two tourney wins in that span (same as URI).

The A10’s poor performance in the post-season matches the regular season’s results. Best to turn the page quickly and hope for better next year.

Re: Games of Interest - Post Season Play
I’ve been such a big wofford fan the past 34 minutes.
High level game with Kentucky effecting the passing lanes and taking away a ton of initial stuff. Then wofford keeps working, changes the angle and gets the ball where they want it. Impressive stuff from both. I would love to see Uri work this hard next year.

And some people are too dense to look at a situation in a subjective manner.
Objectively YES
Subjectively NO

Re: Games of Interest - Post Season Play
Also fwiw, the A10 final had more viewers (1.28MM vs 1.13MM) than the BE final. Scoring that Sunday afternoon time slot just hours before the selection show is 1 of the biggest coups our commish has pulled off. Massive exposure for the league.

Re: Games of Interest - Post Season Play
Fletcher McGee CHOKED. Big time.
0 for 12!!!! From three in the biggest game of his life and hes made more threes than anyone ever in NCAA history.
They beat the hell out of Kentucky if he has an average game.
God I HATTTEEE Kentucky.
So wanted wofford to get it done! They're better!
Kentucky is so lucky that McGee had the worst game of his life....
UGHHH

Re: Games of Interest - Post Season Play
He took so many of those side fade type bombs over two guys. I wonder if he slipped those to the basket a few more times if they don't win and he doesn't end up with better looks over the course of the game from deep.

Oh it definitely did.
They played hard on defense, but McGee always makes tough shots.
The games today have all sucked instead of LSU Maryland.
Still NO upsets.
Murray State FSU was a bust. Fell asleep to that, literally.
There still has not been a single shocker of a game.

I was saying the same thing during the game!
He could have done that and at least kicked it out to the other great shooters on the team.
Murphy and Hoover were really good too.
Really thought they would make a final 4 push.

It's chalk night in the NCAA tournament.
Unless Minnesota makes a huge comeback, it's all favorites all the time.
Maybe Auburn can beat Kansas. I've got the Tigers winning this game.

Looks like buh-bye Big East also. They can join the A10 watching on TV.
Tomorrow probably only Houston will carry the flag for the AAC. UCF no chance.

Re: Games of Interest - Post Season Play
I don’t care if McGee is the all time career three point field goal leader. He should have deferred to Hoover, who had the hot hand today. Did Hoover even attempt a shot in the last ten minutes? I don’t remember that he did. I’m sure Kentucky was on him (they did play fantastic defense), but where was the coach? He needed to show leadership by drawing up some plays to free Hoover up. Kentucky was ripe for the taking with Washington out. No way they make the Final Four if he can’t go next weekend.

When it's not your night, it's not your night.
Just like when Fatts is bombing away and making nothing, adjustments should have been made but they weren't.
Calipari like him or not is no dummy....he took away their best weapon and it worked.
