2021 NCAA Tournament Open Thread

We can’t have the Gonzaga-OU refs in the game later tonight. I also have to imagine that we won’t have the same crew we had for round 1 as that seems like it could lead to some competitive issues (though in our case not a benefit). I haven’t watched every game, but there have definitely been some games where they let them play and we just have to hope we win the ref lottery tonight.

Wow, that was a terrible charge call. Yes, you can still be moving, but you have to be in a legal guarding position. Suggs wasn’t.

So Fran is now 6-10 in the tournament.

Underwood is 3-5.

Holtmann is 6-6.

Call it bad matchups, whatever, but I am in Missouri territory with these guys: show me you’re a good coach. (Speaking of Missouri, Underwood lost to them this year.)

If Juwan is the real deal he’s going to feast on this conference.

I thought so too, but on replay you can see he started the move with a foot outside the paint.

Seeing Suggs absolutely elbow a guy and it not being called a flagrant 1 goes to show how outrageous the one on Dickenson was

And the clock stops when the player begins an attempt to score.

That was also such a terrible call.

Timme’s mustache is incredible

This last play was just infuriating. He charges in elbow first into a dude’s face and it’s a foul on the guy whose face just got smashed. Gonzaga are the ncaa darlings confirmed

Yeah, it really annoys me that Suggs pushes off with his off arm and it’s ok with the refs.

Straight out of the Ben Stiller Fashion Guide, from Dodgeball.

I feel like I’ve disagreed with every block/charge call this game

Oklahoma’s not helping their cause with their play here.

Is that seriously what it was??! Why not call a foul on his face for getting elbowed at the rim. Ridiculous.

Ah, yes. We call that the Mike Smith™.

So after all these years I finally understand why people say the NCAA tournament is all about guard play…

Just yolo your way to the basket and get fouls.

Juwan needs to stop recruiting all these bigs and just go after all the blue chip shooting guards.

I am definitely not a fan of the “make people watch the halftime show” schedule where CBS gets two exclusive time slots. The tournament is much better when there are multiple games on.
