Official NCAA TOURNAMENT first-half thread: NU vs. Vandy

[bjm989_rivals]

terrible foul call against Skelly!

That was the worst call I've seen all year. Bad.

Team not getting rattled. Just hope we can keep our guys in the game.

 

[TejasCat]

Scottie is feeling it, and they are leaving him open.

Collins needs to get in the ear of these refs.

 

[FeliSilvestris]

I don't know what's going to happen the rest of the way, but this has been a blast to watch so far.

Right. Need more NU players getting involved in O. Thankfully Lindsey is joining the one-man effort. One single player will NOT beat Vandy.

 

[ubercat]

Signature Lindssey Up and Under.

 

[FeliSilvestris]

So far nothing good has come out of getting the ball to Pardon. He is helping a lot in some other ways, though

 

[TejasCat]

BMac dribble dribble here, hope he hits the contested fade away. Prefer a pass to Scotti3

 

[ubercat]

Tavaras in the house.

 

[Ayako]

Keep it up, nerds.

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

Considering we've turned it over EIGHT times, I'll take the seven point lead and hope we clean it up in the second half. Pardon in particular can help in that regard.

 

[DaCat]

Mac needs to keep putting up the threes. Lindsey too. Need to get Law more involved too. Great 1st half by the Cats.

 

[julescat]

Yep. Dererk just needs to calm down when they bring the double. He'll find a shooter.

 

[Hungry Jack]

I am stuck at a client. Ugh.

 

[TheC]

Well.... no matter what else happens, we have won one half of an NCAA game!!

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Very funny halftime conversation from Kenny Smith and Barkley. Joe Branch's name came up from Kenny. Joe probably never thought he'd have Kenny and Charles bantering during NCAA coverage about him.

I remember Joe from when I was in school. Good player. Great guy!

 

[DaCat]

I am stuck at a client. Ugh.

Hope you can extract yourself. This game is history in the making.

 

[FeliSilvestris]

71% 3-pt shooting!!!
Yes, that's NU.
But only 1 for 4 from the FT line....go figure!!

 

[FloridAlum]

Considering we've turned it over EIGHT times, I'll take the seven point lead and hope we clean it up in the second half. Pardon in particular can help in that regard.

Me,too

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

I am stuck at a client. Ugh.

What kind of inhumane sicko client would do that to you? That unconscionable.

 

[FloridAlum]

I am stuck at a client. Ugh.

Get the hell out of there and get to a television. Clients are a dime a dozen. This is a once in a lifetime first appearance

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Hope you can extract yourself. This game is history in the making.

Seriously. Like a really important client?

Clients come and go....this game is the first and there will never be another! They'll understand, and if they don't, perhaps you need some new clients!

 

[FloridAlum]

Get the hell out of there and get to a television. Clients are a dime a dozen. This is a once in a lifetime first appearance

If your client is Brooke Burke, I retract my statement. You can stay

 

[NU Houston]

Very funny halftime conversation from Kenny Smith and Barkley. Joe Branch's name came up from Kenny. Joe probably never thought he'd have Kenny and Charles bantering during NCAA coverage about him.

I remember Joe from when I was in school. Good player. Great guy!

I missed that. Joe was from Houston and playing in high school here back when Kenny was on the Rockets. Did Kenny say he knew him? Joe's dad played in the NFL.

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

Yes said he's known Joe since Joe was seven, helped him with a few job opportunities.

 

[NU Houston]

Yes said he's known Joe since Joe was seven, helped him with a few job opportunities.

Went back and watched it - that was fun. I'm sure Joe was watching it with a big grin on his face. Good guy. I played against him in high school (or more specifically, I was on a team that played against his), and we were at NU at the same time.
