Round of 32 Thread

It’s easy to pull for Belien

I know the family, but not the coach. His uncle/mentor was a hall of fame coach. His mentor was a ww2 hero and was a part of the family which inspired Saving Private Ryan. I also knew one of his uncles ww2 buddies. The coach's uncle is the main force that took down Switzer and also the Pony Express when on the NCAA infractions committee. The uncle developed the 2 point guard set back in the 50s.

Beilein is the real deal. Sort of a less attention getting HF.

There will be no team less selfish than Michigan.

They probably should start paying attention to the weird little dude with the outrageous manbun

Nobody has been able to stop that kid in this tournament.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Can we kindly lose the manbun?

At least on the basketball court?

The manbun must go, but the Birdman look is golden.....

Nobody has been able to stop that kid in this tournament.

I believe he outscored the entire Houston team.....

Fairly slick moves and difficult to contain

Purdue looks very good right now.....

Most of the season they looked like Final Four material.....

 

[Stanzi]

Wtf is Purdue doing these last 3 minutes. They look like a middle school team.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Purdue is really trying to throw this one away

 

[thedukeofearl]

Mathias.....!

Should have been going to him the last few minutes

Boilers many poor possessions down the stretch and then Matthias buries a three.
Boiler Up

 

[thedukeofearl]

The way this tournament is going

Butler will nail a three while being fouled in the process

Make a free throw for the win

Too much dribbling. Not enough passing.

The manbun does kinda bug me but man I liked watching that kid from Houston play. His performance in their first round game was fun to watch.

My inner morality compass is spinning.
To cheer for Syracuse or MSU?

Guess I still have to whore it up for B1G, I dunno.

I'm going with the BigTen team.....

Villanova looks like the team to beat so far

That cheap punk sitting on the cooler on the deck needs to be slapped silly.....

 

[SidFarkas]

Zone has Sparty rattled...no dunking, shoving and potty mouth running out of MSU today.

Boiler Up

Boilers too many boilermakers down the stretch.

Butler was applying old school ball pressure and overplaying the passing lanes. Classic halfcourt defense.

Mathias was the Messiah.

 

[Stanzi]

Syracuse is getting away with a lot of contact.

 

[Stanzi]

Wow. Sparty big gets hammered again and no call.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Bridges just did a little hammering of his own!

 

[NEIChawk]

Sparty is going home

 

[SidFarkas]

Sparty with no answer for the zone

 

[hawkeyebob62]

I'm tired of Syracuse--every damn year, it seems--being a bubble team, or even a "Syracuse SHOULD be staying home" team in eyes of pundits...then somehow getting to the Final Four.

I get that Boeheim amps it up in March, and all, but this is a program that has been "documented" as "sleazy". It gets less fun to watch each year as the Syracuses, North Carolinas and other "questionable" teams advance through...
