NCAAT Game thread...round 1

[HenryMuto]

Putting back 0.3 on the clock and double timeout took a little fun away from that win. Nothing like a walk off buzzer beater.

Watching final of loyola makes you wonder how rick decided to give duke free pass and pelphery to just ball watch and let it happen

 

[EliteBlue]

Loyola was my best ‘certain’ upset today but was beginning to wonder if they could get over the hump.
Nice that KAT’s little brother is on the team.

Same. I had them in every bracket so I started to get slightly concerned. Didn't realize KATs little bro was on the team. That's pretty cool

Was almost everyone's #1 upset pick.

It's pretty sad how empty these arenas are. It's gotten worse every year.

 

[fisherscat]

Attendance is irrelavent. Its a made for tv event.

 

[HenryMuto]

Who comes first, UK or Ohio St?

Kentucky of course

 

[CatOfDaVille]

So 2 ACC and 2 PAC 12 teams already out.

If NC St loses, it'll be 3 down for the mighty ACC in the first quarter of the tourney.

FWIW, the Sagarin Ratings are 42% so far and the Sagarin Recent ratings are 100% so far. The SagCombo that I calculated for the field is also 100%. Kenpom is at 85% (calculated off of ESPN bracket challenge)

The first split between the recent and Combo is the S Dak St vs OSU game. SDak has better recent numbers but they weren't very good most of the season so Ohio state scores out better on the combination.

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

Good luck to Bama and the Gators for tonight. I'd like to see both get convincing victories.

Who are the 2 ACC teams already out?

Who are the 2 ACC teams already out?

Just 1.

Of course, and this time, I didn't bite on the hype, and got stung. I have two wrong already. I picked Oklahoma and Miami. I almost picked UNCG, but I'm glad I didn't.

I picked SDSt. Not looking good.

My bracket contest uses upsets though. So any upset is worth a lot of points.

 

[CatOfDaVille]

Just 1.

You're right. Thought Syracuse lost too for some reason but they were the ones to take out ASU.

 

[Jazzycat]

I picked the jackrabbits as well....only down by 4 now

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

SDST may go down but they ain't going down easy. Keep up the fight Jackrabbits!

I usually pick a lot of upsets, but I didn't pick very many this year. I did pick Marshall over Wichita.....

 

[Bkocats]

Dear Lord, please let this be today’s 12/5 upset

 

[TortElvisII]

Dear Lord, please let this be today’s 12/5 upset

I think last year there were no 12/5 upsets.

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

That was a huge play,. Tate is out.

 

[John Henry]

I still can't get over that. It will go to the grave with me. What a dumb *** play.

 

[Bkocats]

Ooooh 2 pt game

 

[Bkocats]

TIE GAME!!!!!

 

[Jazzycat]

Tied up

 

[Bkocats]

Holy cow...just wow

 

[Jazzycat]

Or not.

 

[TortElvisII]

Stupid
Fouled on two straight 3-pointers.

 

[TortElvisII]

OSU fouls Dahm continually

 

[HenryMuto]

Dear Lord, please let this be today’s 12/5 upset

Dear lord let's not

 

[HenryMuto]

Hope Daum comes back for his senior season.

 

[bookerfan66]

Seton Hall being so stupid right now

 

[Crawfords Corner]

This Seton Hall game is a good game. NC State as we know beat some good teams so it's not a surprise to see them hangning around to possibly steal this win.

 

[IYAOYAS1]

Refs are trying to give NC State the game.

 

[Bkocats]

Will SHU pull this off?
Looks like it but a lot of time

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

OK Seton Hall, time to burn some clock.

 

[akaukswoosh]

Will SHU pull this off?
Looks like it but a lot of time

In great shape. Even losing Delgado.

 

[Bkocats]

After this game there will be an intermission
Will probably pick back up again after OUR game. Which, of course, will have it’s own thread

 

[Crawfords Corner]

NC State might have been able to get back in it if that Freeman kid didn't go hero ball the last 4 minutes of the game. 36 points but the last 238 seconds of 240 seconds the ball stayed in his hands.
