2021 NCAA Tournament Open Thread

That was beautiful. I cannot believe I used that sentence to describe something Rutgers did.

EDIT: Lol, I thought that was a pass by Harper, not him getting hit and the ball going right to Baker. Hysterical.

Wow did Clemson blow that. They needed to foul. A 6-second differential isn’t enough.

That Rutgers fan with the fro is gonna kick himself when he realizes how many times he could’ve been on tv if he didn’t have his back turned to the camera.

Clemson definitely didn’t! Got sick of that bubble immediately. I’ve seen teams foul down 10 with less than a minute left. They were just like nawww gg.

Tonight, we learned a lot about Rutgers, a lot about basketball, and a lot about life.

After all that talk, Big Ten moves to 4-3 in the Tourney after night one, with wins by Illinois, Wisconsin, Rutgers, and Delany.

Maybe the real Rutgers was the friends we made along the way.

Rutgers made it further than OSU in the NCAA tourney. Does that mean my pre-season take of Rutgers being better than OSU is now considered accurate?

No. My preseason takes on Rutgers still stand

Weirdly, if you had just seen the preseason analysis but skipped the regular season, the first day’s tourney results would make perfect sense. “Yup, WI and Illinois in first round romps, Rutgers with a gritty win and OSU and Purdue with early losses.”

Only if we get to count my prediction from a couple hours ago that the north Texas and oral roberts coaches are better than Izzo, coach K, Roy Williams and Calipari

I cannot believe Arcidiacono is getting actual minutes in an NCAA tournament game.

I always used to like Villanova and Jay Wright seems like a good dude. With all that said, F*** Villanova. Donte ripped out my soul years ago and I’ll never recover.

Man the MWC s**t the bed again this year. They’re 3-10 since 2015 by my count, 0-2 this year and 6 seed SDSU just got smacked around by 11 seed Syracuse, giving the ACC their only win so far this tourney.
