Perfectly normal. Hell, I'm nervous for Texas Southern right now.

Chris Thomas is a player. But hopefully not too much. Got Zona going all the way lol

Ha, yeah I remember him back from when AZ recruited him, he's solid. I don't expect it to be close at all, but I just think I mix my excitement with nervousness every year once it actually starts.

Notre Dame starting a little slow, but they should be able to kill this team…. they really don't look like they belong on the same court right now.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Yeah Id be shocked if this game stats even remotely close. ND will get hot and its over.

And you were saying looks like Notre Dame doesn't belong on the same court

What's up with Notre Dame's offense today? Their defense may be decent enough to survive Northeastern, but that's as far as they will get if they play like this. Northeastern would be up by 6 if they knew how to attack the hoop or could make the open jump shots they've settled for.

You're really overreacting to a 9-9 game?

 

[Arizona_Sting]

But hell, as soon as I say that Northeastern starts looking like they belong more. I like it.

even if Notre Dame wins this vs a 14 seed they won't make it very far they are only 7 deep

I just realized I paused it for a while so we're at different points of the game, lol. That's probably why the timing of my comment confused you.

You get time off after winning the second game and you don't ever play on back to backs.

Depth really should never be an issue from a tired stand point.

massively disagree depth will be huge

I forgot to bring my iPad to work today (which is connected to a proxy account), so it won't let me stream any games because I'm outside of the US.

Fuck. That.
