If a coach talks an official into reviewing a play and nothing comes of it in terms of a foul, that coach/team should lose all their timeouts. Tired of this shit slowing down the games.

Officials told 'em nope. Good.

The weekend has hardly started yet and it would be pretty close to perfect already if the Vols lose tonight. Hopefully in gut wrenching fashion.

No Vescovi for TN. Creighton is getting great looks, but just isn't shooting well. Also TNs defense is ridiculous.

 

[Rolltide24]

Tennessee is opening a can, NC State took care of Marquette, and Shead is done for Houston. What a day.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Damn... Creighton is caught in an undertow right now...

Purdue v. Vols would be fin in the sense that one would at least go home. And it would be a bloodbath in the paint with the Vols physical play going up against that oaf Edey.

Duke up 6 with 1:13 left against Houston.
Did McDermott and Creighton go “Triangle & 2” to get back in it against the Viles?

 

[UAgrad93]

Down goes #1 seed Houston!

Down goes #1 seed Houston!

I was rooting for Houston, but if Shead would have been out for the Final Four regardless with that ankle injury, Duke winning was for the best probably if there's hope for the Vols to get clipped (assuming NC State's bubble pops and the Vols can get past Purdue).

Well... NC is running Marquette

As a practice I don't wager on NCAA tourney games unless it's in the form of a pool. Last night was a good example as to why. Everyone is good at this stage and it can be difficult to critique matchups.

Considering I normally play one unit per game ...

I would have picked Marquette: - 1
I would have picked 'Zaga: -2 now.
I would have picked Houston: -3 now.
I would have picked Creighton: -4 for the day.

On a different note...

Last year the SEC "won" 17 units for the NCAA tourney. That paid approximately two million per unit.

As of today the SEC has "won" 15 units.

It's up to UT and UA to win today (two more units) and then win one in the FF to reach 18.

If I'm counting right the ACC (with three in the E8) is tied with the SEC at 15 units. It's a remarkable run considering they only had four make "The Dance."

I was rooting for Houston, but if Shead

 

[UAgrad93]

If I recall correctly, it was the HC’s son that showed his ass and knocked over the trash can.

Shead learned two valuable lessons in life that day..
How to do the right thing..
And how to tote an ass whipping from Bama.. RMFT!!

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Yep, I’ve rooted for him since.

You do. One of their bigs.

The X account is correct, in a sense ... one of their staff members was kicking chairs on the bench on his way out.

The winning 3 for Minn St. hit the roof; had to have.

Illinois opens the game with zero points the first 4 minutes. Connecticut has won their last 9 tourney games. Closest game - 13 points.
