NCAA NON- KU GAMES
-
Good for team toothpaste to make it a game
-
Northern Kentucky would be up 10 if they made an effort to rebound the ball.
-
Good for Northwestern. 2nd win all time in NCAA games which just shows how blest we are to be Jayhawk fans.
Told my wife today since I enrolled in 1986 3 times we’ve not played past the first round, once of course we couldn’t defend the title in 89, then the two killer B’s in mid 2000’s. 2nd round has been the round that has haunted us if there has been. Anyone remember Roy pulling out a stuffed monkey in 2001 and pulling it off his back to symbolize getting the monkey off his back after we got back to the sweet 16 after misses in 98,99, and 00?
I’m not totally confident for Saturday, although we should be able to handle Arkansas. They’ve had a fairly impressive season, but 4 quad 1 wins vs. 17 is a big difference. They only had 6 quad 1 games all season. In case you forgot we had 24! But they handled Illinois and I think Musselman is a pretty decent coach.
-
Northern Kentucky looks like a solid team. I’m not crazy about the 30 foot shots, but they are hanging with the Cougers.
-
Will be interesting here to see if Houston gets tight
-
BIG fans have a lot of respect for Penn St. coach Shrewsberry. He’s just a very down to earth, even keeled type, and even in defeat says the right things. I’m guessing he might get lured away from Happy Valley, because PSU fans are like SEC fans, they don’t care about their basketball team all that much. Attendance is low there. Lots of empty seats behind baskets even when one of the bigger name teams is in town.
-
GO NORSE
-
Houston waking up now
-
GEAUX CAJUNS. 13-0 run to cut it to 5. Rick Barnes is Rick Barnesing
-
Penn St. 11-15 3 pointers right now. One guy is not in a funk although his last name is Funk. He’s 7-8 on 3’s
-
UVA and Zona lose. Not much else. Dook is still in, dang it. Hopefully 'Tucky loses today.
-
Kentucky is losing today. Just confirmed with the bball guy upstairs
-
For those who engage in a little schadenfreude
-
-
LOL, bragging about an NIT runner up. It’s like PJ Fleck had rings made up for his team a few years ago because they finished 2nd in the BIG division in football.
-
Early release day today so we can finish 3rd quarter grades. Perfect timing to watch bball in my room til 3:10, (while, in case my boss sees this) working at completing all grades.

When you have no real accolades but are trying to sell a book.
Fran is one of the least friendly coaches out there. And hey look no one says you have to be friendly but he is one that can’t even pretend to smile. Gregggg Marshall, Gard and Boeheim are also on that list in terms of guys I’ve ran into. Bruce honestly isn’t a bad guy, just super awkward. Boynton at OSU is a good dude but I wonder if OSU will be running out of patience there.
ETA: I loved Roy too. Just consistently a good dude. Most of my interactions there were when I was a kid.
-
If a game is going bad for Bama they can always put Miller’s security guard in the game. What are the NCAA rules for open-carry in a game? lol
-
@BShark Funny thing is I hated Madden as a coach. But his TV made him extremely likeable. I’ve never really met a D1 coach that I can think of. I did ask Larry Brown for a picture as he was sitting on a folding chair 2 hours before game time watching guys shoot. But didn’t talk, really appeared to have no interest in talking.
-
@wissox One of the best settings for it is the final four. Usually a lot of coaches hanging around.
-
I actually think Fleck is probably a cool guy to hang around. By all accounts away from the court McCaffery is a very cheritable good guy who raises a lot of money for cancer research. But goodness on the court, there’s hardly ever been anyone so unlikeable.
-
Wow, I just learned that the kid who made the bad pass is the same kid who made a relatively famous pass in this game:
-
Don’t know whether Baylor will end up winning or not, but they look way over-seeded. UCSB actually looks like the better team at this point…
-
That’s a Scott Drew thing.
-
A few upsets brewing early today…

Fraud coaches (Drew, Miller) aren’t doing well this morning. Sad for them.
-
Baylor!
-
My GOD Baylor plays - ZERO - -ZELCH - -NADA- -NOTHING DEFENSE — HOLY CRAP -I mean seriously? - -they act like they don’t even wanna be there. - -Santa Barbara has more spring life - -just insane
-
For the sake of conference rep, Baylor needs to win a couple of games…

pssssssst ya ok - -you just keep thinkin that - -you be all right - -come on Baylor
-
Xavier has risen.
-
I get rooting for the Gauchos - I love the double-digit seeds - but tough to argue on one hand that KU had the toughest schedule in the country and no nights off if the B12 lays an egg in the first round…
-
@DCHawker the joy of watching Scott Drew lose >>>>
-
Xavier woke up for 7 minutes and that was enough. Baylor’s up 7 but they’ll end up pulling away here
-
Well here we go - - Iowa State doing Iowa State things - -already down 16-2 to Pitt - -2 points in about 9 minutes in the game
-
LMAO - - ummmm Coach , you DO KNOW you can’t take your TO’S home with you don’t you - - 21-2 Pittsburg

Not excusing ISU but this probably messed with them a little.

Notwithstanding, how did we lose to them??? Zero FGs in the first 9 minutes…Wonder the longest anyone has ever gone without a FG???

That was a wild loss. We proceeded to whip them without Norm and without Kevin the 2nd half of the big 12 tournament game.
I think they had Grill both regular season games against us? He was big for their spacing…

ORU first ten minutes game plan doesn’t work well

Uconn game should be fun lmao
-
Iowa State I think still wins this, just ripped off a 17-4 run. TJ is a good coach, if they are within 6-8 at the break I wouldn’t count them out. They need a ton of open looks and haven’t gotten one call.
-
Iowa State trying to come back to make a game of this - - only down 7 now
-
@jayballer67 3 straight FT misses liked the MO

ya when your down like that , you just can not miss freebies . - would put more pressure on Pitt
-
ISU is inept on offense including FT’s
-
ISU may not reach 40 points…
