2021 NCAA Tournament Open Thread

All this B1G underachieving stuff is gonna seem awful silly when Rutgers makes the Final 4.

It seems like the better our conference is, the more we all hate each other and root against each other postseason. I always used to root for Illinois in the NCAAs.

It’s a real contrast to the S-E-C, S-E-C.

Illinois more than made their own bed this year. I’m still rooting for everyone else … albeit, Maryland only because I want to beat them a 4th time.

I just do not want to even think about a Rutgers-Syracuse Sweet 16 game :face_vomiting:

I agree. You can see some of the Houston players getting actively ticked off too. I just don’t know if they can keep hitting these threes. Their offense usually stinks.

That got an actual lol from me.

We already had that game early this season. If Rutgers can beat them again they’re just an easy win away from the Final Four (ignore the likely opponent being Baylor).

Their elite 8 opponent would actually be Loyola, Oklahoma State, or Oregon State

They beat 'em without Geo Baker! Granted, this was during the Ron Harper Is An Elite Three Point Shooter Golden Age.

That’s exactly what Rutgers is trying to do. Muck it up and they’re athletic to pull it off. They have to because their offense stinks unless they can make 3s.

I had Oklahoma State in the Final Four and so far, it’s looking good to me at the moment especially if Rutgers can knock out Houston. I had Oklahoma State beating Illini but Loyola took care of it lol

Wally S just said “you can’t grind your way into the Sweet 16, you gotta make buckets.” In my mind, I saw Jacob Young grin like the Cheshire Cat.

TT/Ark: Good Lord, they’re reviewing something that should be a jump ball to see if it’s a flagrant. The defender got all ball.

These refs have been awful in the second half

Seems like every game has followed that script where the refs call the second half completely different than the first.
