I could only stand watching the first eight minutes. Their style of just backing down guys like it was the mid-90's NBA was excruciating (is that how they normally play?).
I turned it on just in time to see the one Wyoming player hanging his head over a garbage can puking his guts out.

Nice to see the Hoosiers back in the tourney though.
Is it?

The world needs to see the candy stripe warm up pants again!

Rutgers-Notre Dame has been a nice way to end the "First Four"

Mulcahy on Rutgers the only one to actual know game situation with 1.4 seconds left and trying to call timeout, even though the refs didn't see him. Everyone else just rushed it. Even without the TO, they could've waited for ND to get completely back and tried a much longer pass.

FRUstrating number of opportunities for Rutgers to win that game.

Those of us with Wright State/Rutgers parlays were definitely fRUstrated.

I feel like Sdak State really missed an opportunity to put the screws to providence when the friars went almost 4 minutes without scoring. but alas...

Ed Cooley (Providence's coach) really needs to embrace the razor with those open patches on the back of his head.

Why does every Colorado State 3 look like they're trying to shoot from 40 feet away?

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 1:27 pm

I just texted my buddy who has Providence "one down, five to go", initially thinking it was them and not Michigan who just moved on. The Rabbits scored 6 straight to pull within three since I sent that by accident.

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 1:43 pm

Colorado State should've pivoted (heh) from the three to feeding the big guys down low once they got up by double digits in the 1st half. Get Michigan into foul trouble. Instead, live by the 3, die by the 3.

A lot of those guys had very jacked up shooting motions, which I low key love when they go in (except against my team!)

That was a weird game. Not sure why the Rams didn't force the issue down low with Roddy more. I think MI did a really good job adjusting their offense in the second half, but almost as important, they clamped down on defense and really disrupted what CSU was trying to run. A bunch of possessions that get under 10 seconds without any real point to anything.

I also always look at a team that shoots lights out from three early and doubt they can sustain it. Usually pans out and plays back to the mean by the early part of the second half. Played out that way today, thank Yahweh.

Still... Puzzled by the lack of O running through Roddy.

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 2:13 pm

And, BTW, this was a very un 6 vs. 11 seed game. Mich was one spot ahead of CSU in Kenpom (something like #33-34.)

Rams were a very tough out, no question, but the seeding here was unfortunate for them. I won't repeat myself... This is a very weird MI team.

That non-call on the Richmond defender fouling (the fuck out of) the Iowa 3pt shooter right in front of the ref's face was LOL as hell.

Good grief. I mean, I'm happy for Richmond to blow up the nation's brackets yet again, but nobody wants to see a ref botch such an important call like that.

Think that is bald or result of major head injury of some nature. I assumed based on how it was burn or car wreck type thing. If he does not do something the Terp students who used to dress like Turj are going to have much more commitment than some powder in their hair and a suit.

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 5:02 pm

Also I think Gonzaga will ultimately win this but not what you want to see when you pick the Zags and they are only up 2 with just over 10 to go.

I think it’s just a skin condition.

I should forfeit my sports fandom for picking Marquette.

And what moron thought Gonzaga would finally piece it all together this year? This guy!

Now I feel like an asshole.
