2022 NCAA Tournament Open Thread

Timme gets the Joel Embiid treatment from the refs. Disgusting.

So, the Memphis player got up complaining that Holmgren hooked him… and ended up getting his foul escalated to a hook-and-hold.

Coach Lappas: “Penny needs a timeout”

Penny just stands there :rofl:

Just keep it close until Duren can get back.

That’ll teach ‘em.

What, you don’t think Gonzaga went 11+ minutes without fouling anyone?

As you all know, I’m from NYC and Steve Lappas’ voice is even getting on my nerves :man_facepalming:

Edit: for the record, I do not have an accent like that lol

I’m not gonna lie, Lappas is my favorite C level color guy. Like obviously he’s not Hummel, but of the 3rd (or even 2nd string) guys I genuinely find myself liking him on the call. Part of it’s because I find his shtick funny, and partially because I actually think he’s a pretty coherent announcer

Yep, UES kid here. Accent is somewhere between the Midwest and the South, probably because… I watched too much tv growing up.

Penny needs to call a time out just to get his players a rest. You can see it defensively.

Memphis put up a great fight but don’t think they can get this now

I loved J Mo’s charge call, but I kind of hate that Nembhard call there. Didn’t look like much to me.

I don’t know that I have seen a team this year as gassed as Memphis right now. They are struggling to get up and down the court.
