2021 NCAA Tournament Open Thread

They have the text. And the AD of the high school (La Lumiere btw) is quoted. Hard to call that one hearsay.

Yeah, one of the anti-Drew articles I found was quoting Rick Barnes and I was like ā€œnah, I’m not posting this lol.ā€ Seeing some of the southern schools trashing each other is hilarious.

That was not a goaltend

I don’t have a big problem with them overall but don’t like that they could go undefeated. A WCC team running the table isn’t the same as a P6 program doing it.

I can tell you with firsthand knowledge if Baylor was dirty in the past they aren’t anymore. Kendall Brown and his family/people are not getting paid a dime and he’s the highest rated recruit since Isaiah Austin.

I don’t necessarily pick out schools to root against for it except for, say, Will Wade. But just given this specific matchup when I don’t really care otherwise it’s something that I’ll factor in.

Well, I don’t think you have to worry about that happening tonight!

I don’t like Gonzaga’s players, they talk a lot of trash and seem incredibly entitled. I like Mark Few and I don’t care about Baylor.

He is? The story I heard from a proverbial source in the Kentucky basketball community at the time was that Kentucky passed on Calipari originally and took Gillespie specifically because of Calipari’s baggage. When Gillespie proved a nightmare, Calipari hadn’t changed, just Kentucky’s desperation.

That was a good call but our friend Bo is definitely juiced up. Seems like he has made 100% of the calls.

What I thought! Suggs should have been called for his 3rd!!!

(thought I saw that live, replay confirmed a full shove :grimacing:)

Never thought I would say this, and have it mean what it does. Gonzaga has cut the lead to 13!

If Bo makes this a ref show, the Big Ten gets to claim its first title in decades right?

Scott Drew can flat out coach basketball, I just don’t like the Baylor athletic program. This team is so so good.

No one else was interested in Suggs getting away with a blatant third foul? And that leading to a layup… pretty huge play to keep this a game :eyes:

Feel like Tchatchoua doesn’t bring a lot at the foul line against a zone

I’m cheering for Gonzaga solely because they kept UCLA out of this game.
