Official NCAAT Thread - Day Two

[dukiejay]

It seemed like yesterday we had a number of threads for different games --- and @dbav and I were talking about games in so many different threads. Since we don't play today I think it's easier if we kept it to one.

I'm looking forward to watching St. Joe's tonight. They're really talented and have two guys will get NBA paychecks in the future. if they get through tonight I think they're capable of beating Oregon on Sunday.

Looking forward to sitting back and watching some basketball again today. Is it noon yet?

 

[dbav]

Thanks DJ. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[crazyduke3]

Thanks for the single thread DJ. Interested to see how the 2 seeds look today.

 

[dukiejay]

Thanks DJ. Sorry for the confusion.

No worries....yesterday was just a crazy day with Duke playing, then the Baylor-Yale game, UNC in action and, of course, others. Today since there's no immediate interest stories for us one thread seems to be the way to go.

In my opinion, Kellogg is the best in the business.

I almost spit up my coffee....initially I read it as Elmore for some reason. In fact, I was just about to ban you.

 

[dbav]

Dayton starts 4 juniors. They could really be a force next year.

Sweet Jesus no. I'd have banned myself.

 

[dbav]

This is one ugly beginning to the day, haha.

 

[Willcampbell]

I agree with the idea of one thread, if the trolls stay away. That's what ruined yesterday's thread, at least for me.

How the hell did we lose to Syracuse?

Third of three games in a span of five days, with a six man rotation.

[dbav]

I'm interested in seeing Cal today. They've got a lot of talent.

 

[Willcampbell]

I want to see Oregon. They snuck up on me as a #1 seed and I've never seen them. That, and we might just see them a little later on.

Same boat I'm anxious to see them

 

[pisgah101]

I was hoping UNCA could get Nova. They got a lot of you g talent with a young coach so they should have some good years

 

[dbav]

I like Lydon from Syracuse. I feel like he would have done well under K.

 

[Laettner]

MD, ND WVU & Oregon games are of interest to me.

Watching Cuse-Dayton with two friends who are alums of each school. Loser pays bar tab, I win either way!

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Syracuse defense is playing pretty dang good.

OFC

 

[AlanInNJ]

Watching Syracuse too. Gbinije looking pretty good today. Wasn't he recruited as a 2? I don't recall seeing him play PG?? Tough matchup at 6'7".

You know I'm happy for Gbinige and the good season he had. It was a nice gesture of Coach K not making a big deal of him picking Syracuse. OFC

 

[dbav]

How did Rabb and Brown end up at Cal? Are they west coast kids?

I watched a few Oregon games this year and they are a lot of fun to watch. Some great talent, but definitely not some kind of juggernaut.

 

[dbav]

I can stand Gottlieb even less when he does the games.

 

[dbav]

Michigan State off to a slow start.

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

Michigan State off to a slow start.

UVA fans have got to be glad to see that Michigan State is losing right because if they end up losing then UVA won't have to worry about being knocked out of the tourney by Michigan State for the 3rd straight year lol

 

[dbav]

Middle Tennessee has some shooters.

 

[pisgah101]

Oh come on dbav $urely you don't have to a$k .......

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

They just showed a replay of 2 players on the floor going for the ball in the MTSU/MSU game and it looked like the MTSU player might've gotten away with a cheapshot

I think Michigan state will bounce back though.

 

[DukeSky85]

Doug gottlieb sounds like Quagmire from Family Guy..anyone else agree..so annoying

 

[dbav]

Down goes a 4 seed.

 

[Willcampbell]

We'll see the Rainbow Warriors in the Semis!
OFC

 

[crazyduke3]

Pretty sure Cal was not close to full strength, but this is march and dem da breaks. It be nice if we had a certain player fully healthy but onward we must go.

MSU will come back and win I bet but it's hairy for sure.

 

[pisgah101]

Charles barley said cal was awesome and the Pac whatever was the best.., looking like a genius so far lol

 

[dbav]

MSU is doing an awful lot of floor slapping for a team that hasn't led in this game.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

On second thought MSU might be in some trouble. MTSU has an answer for everything.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Yea making me mad. That's our trademark but no one makes a big deal out of it when other teams do it. Just shows go to show you that it's only a big deal when it's Duke.

 

[dbav]

I think a 2 seed is about to go home. Another is struggling a bit.

 

[Laettner15]

Michigan St going down!
