2021 NCAA Tournament Open Thread

Texas #3 gets knocked down (should have been an offensive foul), then lies on the ground until Texas gets the rebound. They really don’t deserve to win this game.

It’s sicko anxiety. But in a March Madnessy kinda way

Why would you foul? Why? No one can score and you foul? I hate this Texas team.

I think “giddy” is the word we’re looking for.

Pet peeve of mine: refs calling a jump when 1 guy has possession and then other guy only has 1 hand on the ball. Works on a shot only, hand has to prevent the shot & stay on it till shooter returns to the floor. Otherwise a jump ball by rule has to be possessed by 2 opposing players, so 4 hands on the ball.

You know what? After I saw the replay, I could see why he didn’t get up. My apologies, Mr. Ramey.

How did they go to the monitor to find a flagrant on Hunter, but that gets nary a look?

Especially this ACU team that can hardly score any other way

Yep, I thought the same thing after I saw the replay. :blush: More awful officiating.

Good grief Texas is a hot mess. I’m not even rooting for them and I’m still dismayed at their display.

Great set, Shaka!

Dribble pointlessly into the corner and it goes off his foot. Okay, bad luck, what was the good version of that possession, though???

If ACU holds on, is Shaka even on the flight back to Austin?

I think we’re reaching max anxiety for everyone involved in this game on the court

I know Texas has been horrible, but Abilene Christian’s defense is very solid, despite being tiny. If I heard right, they’re #1 in the country in forcing turnovers.

Bo Ryan and a 45 second shot clock would still produce a more entertaining offense than these teams

KenPom says yes: 26.7% of possessions. But, they play in the Southland…

I get it, but HOW IS IT A PLAN TO DRIBBLE AIMLESSLY INTO THE CORNER

Hot take: I’ve been unimpressed with the officiating in this UT-ACU game.

we might have gotten the toughest opponent in the East with LSU.
