Game Thread: Day 1 games

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.

I think he meant foul-trouble wise, because their big man is already in foul trouble.

Yeah but that's something they have fought through all year. It resets after this game.

Teams who have a chosen rotation I don't worry about. They got their guys and play them.

Now if a top rotation player gets hurt and shortens it to 7, then I'm worried.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

massively disagree depth will be huge

In what way then?

Nice to see the refs calling out Iowa State for their blatant shoves in rebounding situations. They have done that all year and gotten away with it.

Both 3 seeds having trouble with the 14's…. hope at least one of the two games stay close.

I think 8 deep is probably the perfect depth. 7 is a little light but I don't mind it. I hate teams that are rotating players like crazy in and out every whistle. it seems like those teams struggle to get a rhythm in the game

Yeah, I usually think 8-9 is the perfect amount, anything more is just overkill. Arizona is 9 deep with 3 solid guards off the bench and one 7 footer, with two SF's starting for us & Rondae's ability to play the 4 I think it's almost the perfect combo.

Down a few beers, some buffalo chicken tenders, and some mozz sticks. both games on and bracket still intact. I like the way this day is starting.

Lol I hope the bracket is still in tact at this point.

But the full appetizer/beer combo makes me jealous right now

I wish I could repick my Georgia st upset pick. Sounds like Ryan Harrow is hobbling around

Same here, I actually have them in the Final Four in one of my brackets.

UAB is showing why Id be surprised if ISU gets by zaga.

They just can't rebound. UAB is dogshit but keeps getting offensive boards to at least score a little bit.

UAB airballed 2 wide open 3s. And a hook shot.

isu needs to kick in their comeback already....

Notre Dame cannot defend on the interior. They'll get taken apart by Kentucky if they somehow work their way to the Elite Eight. Okafor scoring 28 against them in the ACCT looks like he had a bad game considering this pitiful performance.

This may be my favorite holiday.

Way better than Christmas. Thanksgiving is getting a run for it's money. March Madness…. nothing tops it.

Agreed 100 percent. Even before today I felt their interior defense would be the death of them.

I'm on beer #2 right now. Pizza and hot wings on the way… wooo!

luckily nd has been getting some easy hoops because they have been awful on the defensive end today. brutal
