Holy f***in s*** that's awful.

And missed layups lead to some crazy ball handling and an easy dunk for ND to go back up double digits. Ugh.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 19, 2015 -> 12:42 PM) Huge blown call on that and-1 for ND, as that should have been number 4 on Auguste Meh he slid underneath him. Those should always be blocks imo.

Impressive by Northeastern to survive that surge by ND to start the half there.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 19, 2015 -> 12:15 PM) I'm more concerned about them getting frustated than I am about any actual reffing issues. Yup, thought the same thing when I heard that.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 19, 2015 -> 12:07 PM) Can't watch ISU-UAB game here, only see Gamecast. But somehow with 7:45 left in the first half, ISU has 7 fouls, vs just 1 for UAB. Not sure if they are hacking or getting hosed by the refs. Just turned it on a few minutes ago as I was watching the ND game but it sounds like the ISU players are frustrated by the refs so take that as you wish.

No Ryan Harrow for Ga State today. That sucks. Edit: guess an Atlanta radio guy said this but I haven't seen it anywhere else so who knows.

Fun stuff all around.

I will never understand benching a player for that long cause of foul trouble. You're automatically taking minutes away from that player because he could possibly lose them later if he fouls out. Dumb.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 18, 2015 -> 02:55 PM) I was curious if there was ever a year that all four Iowa D1 teams had made the tourney together. Drake has only been to the tournament once since 1971. That year in 2008 they were actually a 5 seed (!!!), but were upset by the 12 and lost first round. Their one appearance in 40+ years - how depressing. And no other Iowa teams even went that year. That Drake team was predicted 9th or 10th in the Valley that year, came out of no where. And that first round game against WKU was awesome.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 18, 2015 -> 11:29 AM) Alright Mike Brey, my survivor pools depend on you winning just one game in this tourney. You can be trusted in March, right????? Ha I've been eliminated in my survivor pool in the first round the last 3 years. We have to make two picks on Thursday and Friday so I got Iowa State(sorry Heads) and Nova tomorrow.

I ain't scurred. And people are really dumb if they criticize Brunson unless he lays an absolute egg in a game. But he had what...58 in the loss to Whitney last year? One of the best individual performances in state history.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 17, 2015 -> 10:13 AM) Wisconsin has a REALLY easy road until they hit up UNC then Zona. Both top seeds should pretty much coast to the sweet 16 I mean what 1 seed on paper doesn't have an easy road to the s16? Oregon is pretty dangerous as far as 8-9's go.

Just realized that all my first round upsets are on the left side of the bracket. Buffalo, Valpo, Texas(even though they're favored) and Wofford. Georgia State and Stone Cold are two teams I love but don't like their matchups. Texas and Buffalo are the two double digit seeds I have in the s16.

This ic title feud is the best thing ever.

Bill Simmons doing "guest commentary" on Raw next week. Should be interesting.

Wu Tang.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 16, 2015 -> 03:39 PM) I don't hav Duke's schedule in my heal like Justin, but don't they have a bad home loss or 2? Miami maybe? Got killed by Miami at Cameron. Arizona's 3 losses are all to non NCAA teams(on the road though) so you decide what's worse. Like I said, I think Zona is the better team but believe that Duke earned their 1.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 16, 2015 -> 12:52 PM) ND won @UNC, @Louisville, @NC State, plus beat Duke and UNC on consecutive nights in what were pretty much road games. Not saying that ND should be a #1 seed, but there really isn't that much difference between the two. Chris Jones had not been dismissed yet when Duke beat them, big difference there. And obviously the acc tourney isn't a true neutral court but it's not Cameron or Chapel Hill either. The fact that Duke beat two of the top 5 teams in the country in true road games is ridiculously impressive and deserving of a 1 seed.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 16, 2015 -> 01:03 PM) Kentucky already plays slow. 251st in tempo. Yup. Definite misconception of them this year.

How do you make a mistake like that? That's pretty awful.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 16, 2015 -> 10:12 AM) How awesome would it be to see Kevin Pangos vs Monté Morris in the Sweet 16? Anywho, bottom half of this region could be some fun. Lots of offense in this region that's for sure.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 16, 2015 -> 07:54 AM) Maybe, but they are #5 in RPI, #7 in BPI and #7 in Pomeroy. None of that adds up to being a Top four team. Arizona deserved a #1 over Duke. Their wins are just so damn impressive. @Wiscy, @a full strength UVA, @UNC, @ a full strength Louisville and those are just the road wins. I think Arizona is better but have absolutely no problem with Duke being a 1.

So Vegas doesn't think that KU-NMSU is going to be a blow out and Kenpom has NMSU as a top 90 team, that could be a game to keep an eye on.

At least I get to root against you IU fans now.
