Game Thread: Day 1 games

[MI Nightmare]

Cincy got the roll and Purdoo did not.

The Boilers probably should have tried to feed Hammons the last few possessions.

I hate that. Just call the others Play-In games and be done with it. It's too fucking confusing. I heard people making the same mistake all day.

Yep.

64 teams get a first-round bye

If you think Kentucky is gonna cakewalk over UC you're most likely mistaken. It will be a good game.

I don't mean to be a dick but cincy has no shooters and their best player will likely be suspended. that is a disaster when facing a team with the defense of kentucky

He will not miss the next game according to Verne during the broadcast.

He may very well get another flagrant 2 because he's a nutter, though.

35 second shot clock and teams insisting on using most of shot clock possession after possession will do that

I agree change the shot clock to at least 30 sec.

We have another great game. Utah vs SFA

 

[kramer1]

I'd like Stephen F to win, please.

 

[kramer1]

So much for the "expert" pick of Stephen F winning.

 

[kramer1]

Hampton!

Hampton thinks they're going to win this game 105-104.

Slow the damn game down. The ONLY way........and I mean the ONLY WAY......you can beat Kentucky is in a slow paced game.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Can't just run down the floor and throw up a shot over and over again.

Kentucky has 4 deep on the bench that's going pro......

They can just throw guys out there when others get tired.

Which is why UC is a threat to them. If UC does anything well it's play SLOW. REAL SLOW.

 

[podsox]

eh I say keep pushing it. their half court offense couldn't get a shot off against manhattan in the 2nd half.

I honestly absolutely agree. Was thinking the same thing when Cincy beat Purdue. They have a shot.

But you have to take time off the clock......

Your only chance is to win in a game that is in the 60's......

Kentucky is going to score as many points as they want.

UC gave up 55 pts a game this season. It's an outside shot, but it's a shot. UC also plays a lot of guys just like UK....

 

[kramer1]

Hampton is getting homered in a supposed neutral court game already. It's bullshit.

 

[oaknightshockey1]

30 for Hampton is having some success so far

 

[kramer1]

What a bunch of fucking bullshit. KY in the bonus already....my ass.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

The foul count is going to take a toll here soon
