Here we go!! What a great slate of games today.

[Texas Jefe]

well, as ugly as it was, good win for UConn

 

[Runeman]

Cronin loves to lose his mind. No way he's coaching in 15 years at this rate.

I agree; That guy is a walking heart attack just waiting for his day. He was very lucky he wasn't T-D up today. He spent more time on the court than most of his reserves...LOL

 

[Logicallylethal]

27 % shooting from the field, 61 % from ft and 20 turnovers

What a horrendous game by Cincy. Uconn gave them every opportunity to stay in the game too.

 

[Runeman]

Cincinnati did not shoot well and had plenty of opportunities down the stretch, however from what I saw, UConn did a great job on defense; not too many good looks, even though Cincinnati was getting a lot of rebounds late in the game. IMO, Cincinnati is a very big and physical team and when they have a good day shooting the ball, they can beat anybody. UConn just played better-team defense....and they are great at making FT's and that's a big deal in a close game.

Go Memphis!

Home court advantage is also pretty huge, obviously.

 

[RobToxin]

Exciting first half between Memphis and Louisville.

Home court advantage is also pretty huge, obviously.

I have posted several times that home teams have at least a 5 point advantage: get more calls, no travel issues, home crowd, and familiarity with the court. On a neutral court, I pick Cincinnati......but not today as I have UConn along with most of the rest of the board.

 

[Runeman]

Watched 5 minutes of Wichita St. and switched channels. it's a shame we don't get to see them play some decent teams more often.....They get a NR 1 in the tournament and we shall see then if they are an excellent team. Hard to improve when beating up on cup cakes most of the year.

 

[podsox]

Hope they don't call anything on this under the basket Memphis-ville

 

[RobToxin]

What a huge three!

 

[podsox]

Um lane violation on first ft=no 2nd free throw?

 

[kramer1]

UC and Louisville lose. Go figure.

Tough conference.

 

[RobToxin]

That was a weird finish. It was a double bonus. Why did they take away the point on free throw #1 and not allow him to shoot free throw #2? I'm either missing something or the refs fucked that up.

Lets not go overboard with the tough conference.

Tough top half.

Tough top half.

I'd put the top 5 AAC teams against any other conference. I'd lose only to the ACC and even then it would be close.

top 5 big 10 and big 12 are far better.

 

[kramer1]

top 5 big 10 and big 12 are far better.

I disagree with you.

 

[tabascojet]

I disagree with you.

 

[RobToxin]

Great start for Florida.
