Day 10 Tournament Game Thread
-
@DanR I’ve always said it over the years that Drew is Barnes 2.0 Those two coaches have had some of the best talent in D1 over the years and they always seem to miss when it counts.

BK!

Good start for Bucky!

@Hawk8086 well, the big 12 did have 3 teams in the sweet sixteen. ACC only had one.
Not sure that is much to crow about. 3 other conferences also had 3 teams in the Sweet Sixteen. The SEC could have 3 in the Elite 8. The P12 or SEC will have at least 2. If FL beats Wisconsin, the SEC will be guaranteed at least 1 FF team. The B12 has played exactly to seed thus far - and for that to continue, KU has to beat Oregon. This is the 3rd or 4th year in a row that Baylor has lost to a lower seeded team - at least it wasn’t a double digit seed. When was the last time a B12 team beat a higher seed? I don’t know which is why I’m asking, but I don’t recall one in the recent future - although I know that B12 teams have had numerous losses to lower seeded teams.

I assume we’re rooting for Kentucky?

Speaking of coaches. OSU picked their next coach. Pants just can’t seem to get a break at his alma mater. The Animal Sports Radio of OKC talked all day long. Many OSU fans thought Pants should’ve gotten the job. They think the interview with Pants was an appeasement for some. Many alumni DO NOT want Pants to be the head coach of OSU.
Jim Traber (Former OSU baseball alum and local sports analyst) believes because Pants coached in AAU, he knows how to coach at this level. Poor Pants, always a bridesmaid and never a bride. Maybe when he gets his pants on right, he can coach some day. They basically allowed Pants to show at an interview and simply told him that he would not be the next head coach.
(
)This is pretty much how the interview went between Doug Pants on Backwards Gotlieb and Mike Holder. There is a striking resemblance between Pants and Commodus.

Remember Scooter Barry? HIs brother, yes, his brother plays for Florida, Canyon. Different mother, same famous Dad.

Only watched about first 5 - 10 minutes of Butler/UNC and by then it didn’t look good for Butler. From the final score it looks like they tried a comeback and UNC probably padded the difference from the charity stripe. Am I right or wrong?
-
I was stoked today. I went to a leadership conference here in OKC. One of the guest speakers was Joe Washington. He told the story of how KU beat OU. I was Rock Chalkin’ all day long to hear Joe Washington tell the story of how KU beat OU in football during his time at OU. However, they also won 2 Natl’ Championships too. So I didn’t press it much. I did speak to him during his book signing and all I said to him was Rock Chalk, and he laughed. He said, “Good luck in the NCAA tourney, I think you all can win it.” It was fun.
Another funny story was a win against Misery. OU was down in Columbia and the play went to Joe Washington who ran in and scored the winning TD against Misery. Joe Washington used a term I’ve never heard before in my life. He said after that stunning loss, the stadium went quiet, and you coud, “hear a rat pissing on cotton.” I died laughing.

@brooksmd OUt enjoying some seafood before the big game tonight, so I don’t know. The lame restauarant we were in was showing womens basketball!

I think I had Steve Alford’s haircut in middle School

So far the pace certainly favors UK. Can’t say I’d ever root for either team under any circumstances. Will say I’m ready to be done hearing about “ball”
-
Honestly, I just dont understand this “root for the Big12” nonsense, when done blanket-fashion& with no thinking or analysis, whatsoever.
Sorry, my respect for Big12 coaches and teams is EARNED. Thus, I rooted for wvu/Huggins, HOF-level coach, as they just about kicked our butt twice. Sad to see wvu lose. I have NO such respect for Scot Drew. When the hell did he do anything to earn respect–he holds the ignominous distinction of being disdained by his fellow coaches. Wont root for IowaSt as a matter of principle, against their fanbase.
GET THIS: The work a team needs to do to get “respect” happens BEFORE the Madness, as they try to MAKE the Tourney. Once you make the Dance, its every team for itself!
I’ll root for fellow bluebloods KY, UNC, UCLA, and even possibly Duke, if you make me choose between them and Faylor/Drew, or IowaSt, or KSU. I would root for OU, TCU, TxTech, as I hold Kruger, Dixon, and Beard in high regard. Lots of respect for Underwood as well, sad he left.
Respect is earned. Dont cheapen it by giving it freely. You’re nothing but a blind sheep if you do. I thought KU fans were knowledgeable, & students of the game, not blindly-following other B12 teams you ought to know so well. Unbelievable.
-
Cliff Notes version: Baylor is a joke.
-
@ralster Revenue sharing would be the only reason to want other conference teams to win. Is there sharing at all in this day & age?
-
Badgers went brain dead last five minutes of the half, silly fouls, turnovers
-
@truehawk93 Another PHOF !
-
@chriz need pics!
-
@globaljaybird I knew you would love that, put that in your book of famous sayings!

Academic All American of the Year. 4.0 in Nuclear Engineering grad school. Canyon is pretty brightd (edit: bright!)

@chriz I am. UCLA has an extremely powerful offense I’d rather take on The streaky kids from U.K. I just think HCBS has Cal’s # … Balls’
old man has had enough press-Send em home,
-
@mayjay Is brightd in da funk & wagnalls?
-
@globaljaybird Ha! No, it is on my phone keyboard when failing to hold the “d” down long enough to get an exclamation mark.
So, should have been “bright!”
Ironic, perhaps, as I was not too…?
-
@mayjay Is that bright as in his pile is “glowing?”
-
Old man Ball, if things stay as they are, will probably pipe up and say he could’ve coached UCLA to an easy 20+ win over Kensucky.
-
Frank is 5:42 away from being POY.
-
YES!
-
Come onnnnnnn… Badgers!
-
@drgnslayr WE’ve got some referee problems right now
-
@ralster a blind sheep because my loyalty lies with 1. Kansas 2. Big 12vs anyone else in the NCAA tournament ? It needs no reflection, nor “analysis” it’s a pretty simple concept to understand and not need explained. My loyalty to the big 12 performance in the dance goes beyond any petty disdain I might have for a coach or a fan base. As the coaches change out I’ll still support the teams. I also don’t like Marshall much at all but after the big 12 I cheer for wsu because of their being from Kansas. Calling people sheep because they have a different opinion than you might have is an insult to which you are above.

Any day now, we will find out that God took a couple days longer in Genesis than Daddy Ball would have needed.
-
If the ball kid wins POY, I’ll be pissed. He had 7 points in the pac12 tournament and has 8 currently with 3 minutes to play. The best players step up when it’s time, not down. He shouldn’t be on the ballot.
-
I don’t really want to see 3 freaking SEC teams make the elite 8 like’s about to happen if the Badgers don’t do their thing.
-
Nigel taking over
-
But their come back is happening N O W !
-
@kjayhawks He just got a dunk! That is worth tons of press & photos, and easily outweighs any NCAA tourney stats by lesser beings!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 cameras weren’t invented yet lol
-
When Fox plays this way UK is tough. If we can get past Oregon, it won’t be easy. I think the NC comes from this side of the bracket. Ether us, UNC, UK or Oregon. Hopefully us lol.
-
Buzzer, End Scene. Peace out Ball.

-
So if they look at tournament performance, I guess there is only one choice for the award.
-
Lonzo better than Frank, though. Just ask Dad.
-
@brooksmd They’ve run out of excuses.
-
@kjayhawks idk. If SC plays defense like that. They can make it tough on anyone. I think they’ve been overlooked and probably rightly so based on body of work. But I look for them to come out of the left side of they continue to play D. On the other hand. Statistics show Martin has always had Drew’s #. Not that that is largely uncommon
-
@chriz think I’d rather play UNC. Self >Roy and no revenge factor. First and foremost. The ducks
-
@brooksmd ya Mason is averaging 22 and 7 in the tournament. If he doesn’t win, there will be not doubt that it is rigged. Thought that when Trob didn’t win it ether especially knowing the voting was over before the FF. I believe the voting for some closed after the first weekend of this tournament.
-
Combination of refs and Allen ended this game for the Badgers.
-
@cragarhawk true, and UNC apparently does well with revenge, based on tonight
