***The OFFICIAL NCAA Tournament Thread***

How wild is this tournament. St. Mary's(10 seed), Northern Iowa(9 seed) and Cornell(12 seed) all have a good shot at going to the Elite 8.

Cornell probably has the worst shot of them all, Kentucky is playing pretty well. I do think they can beat Kentucky if Kentucky isn't hitting their shots from outside. They do get to play close to home as well, although Kentucky will have more fans.

Forgot about Washington they are playing really good ball right now.

I agree but it's basically a home game for Cornell. And Cornell is real hot right now too. I do agree that Kentucky wins though.

It's not basically a home game for Cornell at all. Kentucky will have more fans. Now, I will give you it's nice to play close to home, but it won't be a "home game." Kentucky fans aren't going to all of a sudden sell their tickets they bought already (many days ago) and sell them to Cornell fans, lol. Kentucky has the best fan following in the country, by far.

cornell will have all the other 2 teams fans plus theirs and any locals

There won't be any locals, Kentucky will buy up all the tickets. "Support" may be 50/50, but Kentucky fans will overwhelm Syracuse.

Was Maryland in a zone that last trip down the court? If so, what the heck were they thinking?

 

[stoops4pres]

Gotta feel for Vasquez, he put the team on his back those last 2 possessions for Maryland.

Mich St and Northern Iowa will be a grind it out game to the fullest... They have the same exact style of play.

It seems to ME at least that Turgeon does a pretty good job disciplining his teams. They follow a pretty strict regimen offensively.

everyone hates him, he whines like a little *****, but his teams are coached well so. Maybe the closest we could have had to Calvin if we didn't get Capel.

Purdue just had a nice run of 3s up 1.

 

[red recluse]

at this point, i'm almost certain they'll let brian davis rob a bank if he wanted.

 

[Sooner Quick]

He just flopped and got dunked on!

 

[NickZepp]

Purdue up 5 that was a nice flop by Davis

 

[Sooner Quick]

Purdue looking like they want it more. Will A&M make a run?

 

[coolm]

Not sure wtf happened.

I was watching the game and ATM seemed to be in control.

Turned away to read some email...looked back and now the Boilermakers are kicking their tail around the court.

 

[NickZepp]

Purdue started make 3s. That's been the difference. But the Aggies are making a run now.

 

[coolm]

wtf is so hard about faking a pass to make one?

geez...L2P u morons

 

[Sooner Quick]

Wow...heads up play by A&M to call timeout!

 

[JBaker]

I don't think A&M even had the ball to call that TO.
It was a tie ball.
