2021 NCAA Tournament Open Thread

I assume Gene Steretore is going to come on to explain why that should be a Flagrant 1, right?

hahahaha, I kid.

I was thinking the same thing. I’m so nervous that hunter picks up a couple cheap offensive fouls

Someone needs to teach Omoruyi that the appropriate response to an elbow in your chest is to throw your head back as if you’d taken a right cross.

Dana Altman would never make it as a coach in the Southland, I guess.

when was the last time a college game went over 100 in the first half?

This reminds me of michigan Loyola Marymount

So, does Oregon typically play defense as badly as Iowa does?

Actually, yes; Oregon is 62 on KenPom, and Iowa is 60th.

(LSU is 122nd)

They’re 62nd on KP in defense to Iowa’s 60th, so potentially worse

Then I guess we are going to score 150 against LSU

It’s funny because my wife just said, “Neither of these teams play defense!”

That game was 65-58 LMU at the half

That game was, frankly, AWFUL!

Meaning LMU averaged, uh, 4.1 points per minute in the second half. :see_no_evil:

ETA: in a 45-second shot clock era.

Michigan put up 115 and lost by 34. Basically incomprehensible.

Iowa is in trouble…

Oregon found a way to get a couple stops. Iowa cannot, which is the difference here. Whichever team can find a way to get like 2 stops in a row can win this.

Yeah. 84 second half points was absurd.
