100% agree with all of this. Black and white no excuse.
Some courts donât have much space between the bench and the court. But most of the arenas for the NCAAs have plenty of space. Really no excuse for coaches to be on the court
Oh look, another ACC team struggling. Weird.
(I thought theyâd do well in the tournament as a whole though)
No volume on the tv where Iâm at but sure seems like the refs are jobbing st Maryâs pretty bad.
This is pretty bad by Virginia. 28 points with 8 to go? Cmon now
Wait do referee crews do two games in a row in these second round matchups? Just realized that that both gonzaga-nw and st Maryâs-Arizona were in Salt Lake City and both had some really awful calls.
Not the be all end all, but donât we pay our assistants better then those schools pay their top guys. Maybe banking some money for a couple years will help us keep bd.
I actually think Matt painter is a good coach and a great X and o coach but he has almost zero feel for game momentum(matchups)/substitution patterns.
Congrats to Purdue on that W. Thatâs what really good teams do, withstand the run and bounce back. Heck of a job winning that game with Iowa Stâs great run to ultimately take a short lead.
Big Ten looking good. Hope thereâs three teams in the Sweet Sixteen by 2:30 tomorrow

Glad I took Wisconsin and Purdue in almost every rendition of my bracket. My faith in the big ten has me rolling. Hereâs to hoping Wisconsin has one more in them. I got them losing elite eight to duke.
It wasnât blind faith either. It was clear to me Wisconsin was a top 16 team. More like top ten tent wise. They had just been playing poorly. Purdue as well. I hope we can stay hot.
The way state played the other night has me feeling good about them but Kansas is a bit too much. I got Kansas in a close one.
Really interested to see how this game is officiated today. Louisvilleâs chances diminish greatly if theyâre not allowed to physically bump and grind you all over the court with impunity. Go Blue!!
I think weâre gonna see another good day of games. Some more top seeds will go down today.
Michigan v Louisville - Hopefully a result for the good guys
Wichita St v Kentucky - Still not sure how WSU ended up a 10 seed. Going to be a good game.
Michigan St v Kansas - How MSU played against Miami has got to have Kansas fans nervous. Plus the revenge factor from early in the season. Izzo is 21-5 in the second game of an NCAA weekend (2nd round; Elite Eight; Title game). Bill Self is 14-12.
Arkansas v UNC - donât see much hope for Arkansas in this one.
Rhode Island v Oregon - I think this has been an underdiscussed matchup. Nobody knows much about either team with Rhode Island being Rhode Island and Oregon being on the West Coast
USC v Baylor - I had SMU beating Baylor so I donât have much faith in the Bears.
South Carolina v Duke - Always hope Duke loses.
Cincinnati v UCLA - Bruins should walk away with this one IMO

Wichita Kentucky going to the wire
Wow fox with a sick dunk in the half court and shamet drains a huge three over him at the other end. First 37 minutes of this game were terrible. Last couple have been awesome
Wichita doesnât get a shot to the rim last two possessions.

Are we sure this is Kansas-msu in the ncaa tournament and not a random Tuesday night swac game. Incredibly sloppy half
Looks like Self doesnât have a whole lot of control of what his guys run. I heard they havenât played good defense for most of the year, but this is worse than I wouldâve thought.
The benefit of few Round1 upsets is more Top25 caliber match-ups in Round2
Kansas does not look overpowering. Surprised that they donât take it to the hoop more often. They seem content to shoot 3s.
Yeah. Almost no bad matchups.
Xavier-FSU
Wisconsin-Nova
Michigan-Louisville
Wichita St-Kentucky
Those are all matchups between teams that should be in the top 20 or were at some point this season. Crazy they ended up being second round matchups.
