2021 NCAA Tournament Open Thread

It’s probably not that big of an advantage unless UO has some new gameplan to bust out. There’s already a whole season of tape on these teams.

I wouldn’t say better, but not a bad comp.

Bench warnings now lol

Look inwards, Mark

And I’m now glad LSU won. They’re two teams removed from the outbreak instead of one.

Did the UConn coach step out of his box? Because that’s NOT ok

Seriously, why was the board quaking at the thought of facing UConn as an 8-seed?

My thought exactly. They look like garbage.

IIRC their Torvik split since Bouknight came back was top-10 nationally

That’s true - only 8 big ten teams made the actual tournament.

Think it was @umhoops last year who said beware the Torvik slice!

If Bouknight isn’t getting every call UConn looks decidedly mediocre.

1 for 18 on Other Twos. Is that good?

Michigan fights over the top of most screens. That would mitigate most of that damage, no?

The issue is the stretch big. Hunter Dickinson usually drops which means that the pop guy is wide open. U-M tries to mitigate this by having a defender stunt at the ball, usually.

Apparently Kevin Warren went to GCU. However, that was before it became a for-profit, so I presume it was a bit more respectable at the time.

Not sure what was worse, the bonnies offense today or the a10 protocols

I understand. It would be difficult for Smith to get up and take a away a hypothetical Mo Wagner 3-point attempt. I love college basketball but I will be the first to tell you that I am catching up on the X’s and O’s. I love it though. That’s why I love the film room pieces. :+1:
