2019 NCAA Tournament Games Open Thread

I’m torn. Do I want the cheaters to win, or the team that will probably make it easier for Sparty?

If Minnesota could take care of business that’d be nice.

If Maryland plays Minnesota in the sweet 16 I might quit basketball forever.

Well that was averted.

On another note the NCAA should do something about all these patches teams have on their uniforms. LSU and UNC look like NASCAR teams with all that junk up there.

Did Benford just throw a shoutout to the assistant coach who drew up a high pick and roll with no preliminary action?

No idea why Maryland switched to man on that last possession. Waters was getting to the rim all game until they switched to zone, they go back to man, and sure enough waters gets to the rim again.

Wish Maryland tried to inbound closer to half court on that last play. It didn’t even look like anyone on LSU was picking up on defense. Probably could’ve got a ~20% halfcourt shot instead of 3/4 court shot.

Yeah, I know they had no timeouts but they panicked there.

Some real talent in that Maryland-LSU game. Nothing like Wisconsin.

MSU minus-whatever against LSU, assuming they beat Minnesota. LSU makes a ton of defensive mistakes and I like MSU’s chances of exploiting them.

I’m interested in Xavier Tillman vs. Tremont Waters. Can Tillman bottle up a true 3 level guard?

Kentucky survived game with Wofford. Wofford’s best 3 point shooting guard went an o’fer on threes. Was 7 of 12 previous game. Even if he makes 20% Wofford wins.
Kentucky really misses Washington.

Ja Morant is just fun to watch. I’d be pretty happy if I were an NBA team and got the 2nd pick.

Poole with a great assist

Florida State and Gonzaga look pretty tough. Maybe they’ll beat themselves up and have nothing left in the tank two days later.

Minnesota is just such an awful match-up for MSU.

MSU with 11 TOs at halftime, yet up 13. Minnesota is a joke.
