2021 NCAA Tournament

[steveystuds06]

Houston is very much helping the perception and coffers of the AAC with its Final-4 run. The A-10 on the other hand is not tending in the right direction with regards to success and revenues for the tournament. The league had never had back to back tournaments in its 45 year history where it went winless until now. It had not had successive tournaments with just two teams in the field each season since back in 2007.

Ehh...outside the top few teams the league stinks still. Would you be saying the same if there was a tourney last year and Dayton was a 1 or 2 seed and probably advanced far? I think the leagues are still very similar, where on a given year they can produce a very high end team.

This is a pretty good accomplishment for the AAC though.

Houston in the Final 4 is pretty big stuff. And they are not done yet. I'd love to see Kelvin Sampson, DeJon Jarreau and company upset Baylor and meet the winner of UCLA/Gonzaga in the national Championship.

A-10 Postseason has been dismal.

Overall Post Season:

A10 - 6 teams went 1-6
AAC - 4 teams went 8-2 with Houston still playing. Memphis won the NIT.

NCAA

A10 - 2 teams went 0-2
AAC - 2 teams went 4-1 and

• St Bonaventure Lost to LSU 61-76

• VCU Covid forfeit

• Houston

Beat Cleveland State
Beat Rutgers
Beat Syracuse
Beat Oregon State
Next up Baylor

• Wichita State

Lost to Drake 52-53

NIT

A10 - 4 teams went 1-4
AAC - 2 teams went 4-1 and Memphis won the NIT

• Memphis - Won the NIT

Beat Dayton 71-60
Beat Boise State 59-56
Beat Colorado State 90-67
Beat Mississippi State 84-62

• SMU lost to Boise State 84-85

• Dayton - Lost to Memphis 60-71

• Davidson - Lost to NC State 61-75

• St Louis - Lost to Mississippi State 68-74

• Richmond

Beat Toledo 76-66
Lost to Mississippi State 67-68

I really want Baylor to win. I think they are the only team that can give Zaga a game if they play their A-game. Houston will get smoked. UCLA in the final four is a fun story but I wish Zags had a tougher road to the finals.

Well USC was looking better than anyone not named Baylor and the Zags smoked them.

Their road was plenty tough.

So its no the AAC vs the A10, its Houston vs the A10.

We were the 11-seed and beat 6-seed Missouri in the 1st round game in 1988. We played 6 guys and Bonzie Colton played only 8 minutes off the bench. Garrick, Owens and Evans all played 40 minutes. Sina played 38, Kenny Green played 34.

https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/bo ... souri.html

Unless Colson was hurt or something, I think that box score is wrong - Colson started that year and Green came off the bench. I just went to the replay (thanks RhodySurf) and Colson was in the starting lineup, not Green:

So box score is wrong. Colson started.

For that Missouri game, Colson only played 8 minutes and picked up a quick 4 fouls. Kenny Green played 34 minutes, 6-10 FG, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 3 TOs, 2 fouls for 14 points.
Tom Garrick continued his outstanding play that year playing all 40 minutes, 10-23 FG, 9-12 FT, 12 rebounds with 7 offensive rebounds, 2 assists, 5 steals 1 block, 2 fouls and 29 points.
Owens also played 40 minutes, 7-16 FG, 9-10 FT, 1 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal 5 TOs, 25 points
Colson played 8 minutes, 1-2 FG, 4 fouls, 2 points.

For the 1988 Season:
Owens 21.8 ppg, 2.1 rpg, 5.1 apg, 45.9% 3FG, 85.9% FT
Garrick 20.5 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 4.1 apg, 54.8% 3FG, 79.3% FT
Green 14.5 ppg, 7.3 rpg, .7 apg, 70.2% FT
Evans 10.3 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 1.4 apg, 74% FT
Sina 8.7 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 2.3 apg, 60.3% FT
Colson 4.7 ppg, 5.3 rpg, .5 apg, 61.9% FT

I was living in NYC so didn't follow URI hoops back then. Can't believe we had TWO 20 ppg players plus14 and 10 ppg players. That's one badass offense!

11-seed UCLA upsets 1-seed Michigan 51-49

We're going to see and hear a lot of St. Daddy-o the Great, who coached UCLA's last title winner, in the next few days.

That team was awesome. They also had an effective full court press. The only weakness was holding its own on the backboards against large front courts. The almost always won if they kept the rebounding margin respectable.

[PeterRamTime]

So its no the AAC vs the A10, its Houston vs the A10.

Remember when we were on Houston's level and trending in the same direction?

We have still earned the A-10 the most money over the last four years though.

Worst A-10 postseason I can remember.

We have still earned the A-10 the most money over the last four years though.

Consider this fact. The last NCAA Tournament win for the A-10 was all the way back in 2018 when URI defeated Oklahoma. The conference is win-less in the tourney since then.

The A-10 has been markedly trending downward in recent years regarding both participation and success in the NCAA tournament.

In other words... we've been letting the whole conference down! They need us!

[RF1]

The poor performance of the A-10 will soon be greatly affecting the coffers of the league. The NCAA pays out units for a particular tournament in the ensuing six years. At this point in 2021, the league will receive money relating to 23 NCAA units which it will then distribute to its members based on its formula. In 2014, the league stood to collect money on 46 units. The number has been halved and members will ultimately be hurt with lesser payouts.

[Rhodymob05]

So its no the AAC vs the A10, its Houston vs the A10.

Remember when we were on Houston's level and trending in the same direction?

It was only 4-5 seasons ago that we split an home and home with them. Both close games too.

Yeah the pandemic really hurt the A-10 last year. Had to think Dayton at least makes it to the sweet 16 with a couple more bids in Richmond and SLU OR maybe us...

Missed out on around 5 units probably.

VCU has been the most consistently good and they just can't win tournament games.

Hard to believe in 12,13 and 14 we had 4,5 and 6 bids, 6 is insane . Definitely in 2021 the top of the league wasn’t what it’s been in the past , heck we beat both Bona and VCU .

[Billyboy78]

I think Cole Swider should transfer to URI.

.........

[ramster]

[ramster]

Very little dribbling.
Ball moves often and quickly.
Hope URI Staff is watching this concept

[reef]

I am sure Cox is watching all the NCAA games looking for concepts to use as well as scouring the country for transfer talent ??

[SGreenwell]

I kind of hope Gonzaga doesn't win, because then it'll lead to 500,000 screeching articles from Basketball Purists about how this is how the game is supposed to be played. Yes, it's great that they pass a lot. However, Gonzaga is also pretty past the "scrappy underdog" stage as a program. Their current starting five has a 5-star recruit, a transfer from Florida, a 4-star 6'10" MVP Texas center, a 4-star recruit from France and Washington's Mr. Basketball. It has one senior. They have more in common with Duke and UNC than mid-major programs at this point.

All good points, However, I want them to shut up the narrative that they only accumulate wins based on being in a bad conference and can’t really win anything.

Rambone,
You follow UCONN B-Ball....
Was it a foul?
I watched the game and it was a shame nothing was called on this.
Even UCONN former players agreed it was a foul. As did Lebron

Tonight:

• 1-seed South Carolina vs 1-seed Standford (-6) 6pm ESPN

• 3-seed Arizona vs 1-seed UCONN (-13.5) 9pm ESPN

[ramster]

Saturday Night:

• 2-seed Houston vs 1-seed Baylor (-5) 5:14pm CBS

• 11-seed UCLA vs 1-seed Gonzaga (-14) 8:34pm CBS

Reef,
I like Houston and UCLA to cover on this Big Saturday of B-Ball

[ace]

It probably was a foul in the UConn-Baylor game. It wasn’t called, just like 15 or so other plays weren’t at other parts of the game. Everything gets magnified in those last few seconds. Paige Bueckers, Aaliyah Edwards, and Christyn Williams are my favorite players still going this season. I want to see Gonzaga win the men’s tournament, but the women’s tournament is way more interesting to me this weekend,

[ramster]

True Ace,
that was Geno's argument after the game.

Tournaments work out well for the next 4 days:

Women's Semi Finals - Friday
Men's Semi Finals - Saturday
Women's Final - Sunday
Men's Final - Monday

Then a long time of coaching changes, transfers in, transfers out..........

[reef]

Definitely a foul refs blew it but stuff happens

[ramster]

Tonight:
1-seed South Carolina vs 1-seed Stanford (-6) 6pm ESPN
3-seed Arizona vs 1-seed UCONN (-13.5) 9pm ESPN

Stanford wins by 1 point over South Carolina

Heavily favored UCONN loses to Arizona 69-59 in a shocker.

UCONN loses for the 4th time in the last 4 NCAA Final 4’s

All PAC12 Final with Arizona vs Stanford

[reef]

Hats off to Zona that was quite the upset !!

[theblueram]

Hoping for a Houston and Gonzaga final. 2 mid majors. That would be sweet justice.

[Jersey77]

Hoping for a Houston and Gonzaga final. 2 mid majors. That would be sweet justice.

Yes me too, that would be the first time in modern basketball history that 2 teams not in the P6 (including BE) meet in the finals.

I don’t consider Houston a mid major. Mid majors do not have FBS football using my criteria. I consider the big east as the best mid major conference using my definition. I guess I break the conferences into two parts. Big Football and mid majors. Gonzaga is the only mid major left playing

Houston getting all blown up.

2 powerhouses in the final P5 Baylor v mid major Gonzaga

I just jumped to here, so maybe someone already said it, but, I want UCLA to win so that Bill Walton will finally be motivated to give the Pac 12 its due be even more fun to listen to.

Great game.
Would have loved to see double OT

Banked in 3 to end it at the buzzer.

UCLA played an outstanding game.

[RhodyRam86]

That was the most well played college basketball game by both teams I have seen in a very long time.

Great defense. Great shot making. Disciplined offenses. Incredible game.

What a tough way to lose, feel bad for the Bruins.

and so many clutch shots by both teams. Tremendous athleticism. Hate to see any team lose in a game like that.

Never seen this before............

[RhodyRam86]

Ramster I don’t think either team lost. The Zags won.

Ohhh my goddd dude.

I understand they're greatness. That goes without saying. Everyone gets that.

But they still represent for all mid majors. They're like what all us mid major schools dream of becoming, so yeah they represent all mid majors. They're like king of the mid majors.

That was an awesome game one of the best in the tournaments history. I agree on your mid major point as they play in the same conference as Portland , San Diego and Loyola Marymount even though they are clearly the best team in the country.

The West Coast Conference is a mid major, regardless of Gonzaga's success.

I love watching that Jaime Jaquez dude...fearless, smart...can see him playing in the lig.

Gonzaga is a non-Cartel school. That’s good enough for me.

[Ramulous]

UCLA was not afraid of Gonzaga. That being said that although I usually root for the underdog I could not root for a football school over a non-football school. (Unless said non football school is from the big east)
