2022 NCAA Tournament Open Thread

I feel like if I picked a bunch of upsets but they were just the wrong upsets I should still get partial credit.

Not sure I get why MSU hiring Drew Valentine is natural. Wouldn’t he make more sense as a successor to Greg Kampe at Oakland?

Wouldn’t Sparty prefer to hire one of Draymond Green’s relatives?

Umm Oakland is a step below Loyola now that they’re in the A10. If Drew is successful he’ll be on HM programs. It’ll be a few years though as he basically has to rebuild now.

He worked at the program as a GA, is from Lansing and has a familial relationship to the program. Seems pretty clear. Oakland is already a stepdown for Drew unless he fails at Loyola

I’m at this Miami-USC game and I recognized Bo Boroski immediately

yes, I believe there is a good difference between their lateral quickness and vertical mobility.

you should run up to him and fart in his face

Even the 10/7 game is shaping up to be a blowout. We’re on pace for the single worst day in Round of 64 history currently. Still a little more than half the games to go through

Looks like the buckeyes are going to have to deal with Gillespie and the Cats

I actually like Purdue so happy they found some success today. Wouldn’t mind them making a run.

Just wait for the Colgate, Chattanooga, and Davidson show later.

First team to 80 wins this Alabama vs Notre Dame game

Bama has such a weird statistical profile. 12th in 3P rate, tempo and ORTG, 8th in 2P% but 306 in 3P%. They’re 104th in DRTG after being 3rd last year.

On an individual level Jahvon Quinerly, who just left the game for them with an injury, is shooting 28% on 176 3P attempts after shooting 43% on 120 attempts last year.

Montana State is getting crushed, but when the basketball is over for the season, Montana State gets to go back to Bozeman, Montana, and Texas Tech goes back to Lubbock Texas.

This is the same argument that the kids in my class use on tests.
