anyone liking Kent St over Indiana?
Charleston to sweet 16?
-
Indiana will clobber Kent St.
-
why?
lost to Charleston by 2
Houston by 5
Gonzaga by 7
They are tough
-
Indiana has TJD.

Can Michigan St. get past USC and Marquette? Because if so, the path to the regional final is more wide open than the space between Nichi's ears.

Why do you keep stalking and mocking nichi? Do you hate older people? Were you abused by your grandpa?

Not going to muck up the tourney threads, so this will be my only response to you here.
He's a liar. I think this ground has been covered.
Now go mess up another thread.

LOL. Says the guy who has been caught numerous times in the last few days altering posts, then lying about it. Your bid last night to cut off one of your posts and then hope no one would notice was especially special.
Any original thoughts on the tournament, Nichi? I'd like to know so I can pick the opposite way.
-
This seems to check out.
agree

Cool. I was going to keep the crap-throwing out of this thread. But I guess we'll do it here, too.

No and No, so there's sumthin there ;D

Last night's game was pretty solid, 21 lead changes or something like that. Came down to the last shot, which MSU had a good look to win it. But dear Lort, Avery Johnson is fucking horribly monotone.
-
Couldn't keep going with it, but it's good to know Pitt won.
I think CBSSN shows multiple reruns of these games, so maybe I will catch it then.

Illini women on espnu playing miss st. Entertainment game. We have a pretty good little guard. #1.

Womens basketball is such a low level. It’s terrible to watch. I think basketball has the biggest difference level in ability between men and women among the various sports.
Tennis, Volleyball, Soccer, Track and Field, swimming there’s of course a difference in ability but the sport at least still looks the same. Watching women play basketball is like watching junior high PE basketball
-
It's too bad these ladies had to play an underseeded Miss State team whose football coach died.
-
Blame me. .When I turned on the ladies game they were down by 1
-
That Bostic girl down low is playing on one leg. Doesn't help she's on their best player.
-
Have an uneasy feeling this could happen to the men tomorrow. Close game at half, blowout by the end. Illinois is just very mediocre at basically everything these days. Hate to say it.

What’s our seed in the transgender tourney?

Rutgers lost to Hofstra in the first round of the NIT. Its claim to bitch faded quickly. It never really had one after losing to Nebraska at the end of the season. Also, any team that gets locked down by Illinois on D probably shouldn't be an at-large NCAA team.

We have a school function at 6 this evening (don’t these dumb fucks know it’s the first day of the tourney?) so probably will just grab something on the go.
I’m gonna make “over the top” chili on the smoker for tomorrow afternoon. You may want to make yours without beans.

Beans are good for intelligence. You should have some. Probably many.

I made a point of bringing a pork chop for lunch today.
And in honor of the women's team playing Mississippi St., I am having a cheese sandwich at break.

And you call other people dumb and unintelligent… smh 🤦🏻♂️
Eat some beans!! 🥴

Beat me to it

Not the greatest start for IVMP today.
-
Rutgers was not the same team after losing Mag, and I think they had 2 quad 3 losses after losing him. Their non-con schedule was not good.
Pikiell is going to advocate for his team. It's not rocket surgery.
Eat more beans.
-

Did they have a pirate patch sewn into their uniform?
If so, they probably could have sewn it on themselves. You know, because they're women.

Women's tennis and Men's Tennis are completely different games. The pure speed of Men's serves completely alters the dynamic, and because of it, Women's Tennis is often more entertaining.

I made four-bean beef and sausage chili last night. It's better "leftover." I did two pots, a large mild, and a small extra hot.

I'll be smoking a chuck roast today, pairing it with some broccoli

Yeah, I've heard that. I'm visiting my daughter in Aurora, and working remote. My daughter and son in law shred gnar, and love the fresh pow.

LOL. The ESPN Gamecast keeps a running win probability. It was at 81.4 percent for WVU.

WV racking up the fouls.

So, who looks like a bigger prick, Bob Huggins or Brad Underwood?
I think it’s a toss up.

Yeah, those 12-point gaps halfway through the first half are always insurmountable.

With 30 minutes of game time left, it's pretty damn stupid.

About 81% of the time?

About 81% of the time?
Don't know about that, but I am quite certain that not many games continue at a 16-4 pace indefinitely. That's basically what is being measured with an 81 percent "win probability" 10 minutes into the game.

Thanks. Now I have two of them going. Of course, on this one, it says "fuck all maryland faggots" to the side in large type, so I'll have to figure out how to close the comments.

UVa guards hard. Not sure if they have loads of wings and bigs.

Not sure if my stream is current, but WVU just looked megastupid.

Fur monster taking the lead over uva with 5 to go!

UVa stopped guarding hard.
-
Kansas losing to Howard. If Howard manages to win, I guarantee the Illini will deliver the biggest nut punch loss in program history, which is a high bar indeed.

They are as good as Maryland until they all foul out.

Maryland got a gift. Holy shit.

Holy fuck, Furman!

now THAT is a nut punch!

I bet that dude gets death threats
-
Something kept telling me to take Furman but I didn’t listen, didn’t pick them in any of my brackets.
-
Virginia has had a BRUTAL tourney history including the only #1 seed to win. They would be far worse than our sorry record, but then the irresistible force met the immovable object when they played Purdue for a Final Four slot and won it all - that Purdue loss was the worst nut punch they've had and they've had some very bad nut punches.
-
Something kept telling me to take Furman but I didn’t listen, didn’t pick them in any of my brackets.
As I note, always pick against Illinois, Purdue, and Virginia.
-
Picked Furman on my "upset" bracket. Everything else, no. But I don't think I had UVa much past the third round.
This does worry me in regard to Miami, though.

Mn posited Vegas did bad because the favorites didn't cover.
If you were to make a guess, what you'd look at was which way the line moved, and if the team that the line moved towards wins, that's bad. So let's say Illinois started favored by 2, and Arkansas ended up favored by 2, it means they needed to move the line because too much action was coming to Arkansas. So if Arkansas won, it wouldn't be good.

I guess they want teams with large gambling fanbases to stay in so the handle will be larger in the next round. Like getting Patriots/Packers in a Super Bowl

They couldn't wait to play Texas. They were going to kick their Longhorn hind quarters.

Yeah Illinois lost a 8/9 game, but how disappointing would it be for Purdue fans to lose in the 1st round as a 1 seed to FDU 😂

Holy shit FDU!!!! Dominic gonna have a heart attack! 😂

Just got back from snowboarding, got the quad screen on youtube tv and holy fuck purdue is losing!

They will win it next year if Edey comes back. Just like Virginia after losing to 16 the prior year.

Better hope Purdue fans don't come looking for you.

Bahaha the curse of squeaky Dom strikes again

FDU's coach was AOTC

I feel bad for Purdue fans. I thought they'd make it to the round of 32.

The most Purdue thing ever.

He talked shit and they backed it up!

That guy was wound up. Great win for FDU.

Lol @ Purdue. Fuck them

Coach brings 3 guys from wtf is St Thomas Aquinas to a 4 win team.
Lol PU.
-
I heard right? Edey only took 1 shot in the final 12 minutes?
Painter should be locked up for coaching malpractice.

Lol @ Purdue. Fuck them
yes I fucking hate them so much they can suck a bag of dicks while I laugh at their colossal loss!

CRACKED
-
The most Purdue thing ever.
Yep. Almost feel bad for them.
-
What's crazy is that FDU wasn't supposed to be in the tourney. They lost their conference tourney final to Merrimack but because Merrimack is still transitioning to D1, they were declared ineligible.
-
The most Purdue thing ever.

Dude I said Skyy Clark would suck. He sucked so bad he quit the team
I said Kofi would declare for the draft when “insiders” were sure he was coming back.
I said Ty Rodgers wasn’t a Big 10 player. He wasn’t.
I said Mayer would be a me first ballhog. He was.
I said Illinois would stink before the schedule was even made. 2-12 vs Q2 despite being picked to finish 2nd
I said Illinois football would destroy NW. 42-0.
When you’re right as much as me, it’s a shock or fluke when I’m not. And Purdue in the NCAA certainly was tonight

Drake led 55 - 47 with 5:40 left. Miami won 63-56.

You said Illinois wasn't good enough to make the NIT. Huge miss.
Rodgers is a Big Ten caliber player.
You said Mayer was garbage. He wasnt.
You've claimed to be financially successful. Yet you live in a college dorm.
You hit a few no brainers like Kofi staying in the draft. Most predicted that.
No one strikes out as often as you.
-
Full court press changed the last 5 minutes. It's almost like their coach.....made an adjustment.

Everyone knew Kofi was as good as gone. Not sure what you're talking about.
Ty Rodgers showed he is more than capable of playing in the Big Ten.
Mayer, sure he went rogue a shit ton but he was instrumental in some of our wins. We probably don't make the tournament without him.
Illinois won 20 games - 6 more than your original prediction of 14 btw - and made the tournament. Inconsistent yes, but not a team that "stinks".
Pat yourself on the back for picking the football team to destroy the worst team in the conference. Let us all bow down to your amazing crystal ball powers.
-
Yeah. Purdue was the best team in the Big 10. And they will be again next year.
The Flying Illini were the best team in the country - not just the conference - in 88-89.
Michigan has a big ass trophy from that year.

As bas as being an Illini fan in the tourney has been, 4 #1 seeds but we only get 2 final fours and each of those times we were sure we'd win it all, Austin Peay, Dayton, Loyola Chicago.
To be a Purdue fan is just horrifying. They have not only consistently underperformed, but have had several of the worst gut punch losses ever. That loss to VA in the elite 8 was nothing short of miraculous, with a team that could have won it all. There was some OT or double OT game where they had it in the bag twice. Etc etc...
-
Purdue has lost to double digit seeds the last 3 years in a row impressive

To quantify just how insane this loss is
Purdue just lost to a team that (stole this from reddit)
- Was not ranked Above 300 in Kenpom the whole year
- Didn't win their conference tournament
- Didn't win their conference regular season title either
- is in the NEC which ranks 32/32 for D1 conferences in the country in kenpom
- Went 4-22 Last year
- A first year coach that transitioned from D2
- Average height of players is 6'1"
- Ranked 359 in Defense in Kenpom
EDIT: They got into the tournament because they made it to their Conference finals as their opponent (Merrimack) was not eligible to make the NCAAT because of the 4 year transition period rule. They also finished Runner-up in their conference during the regular season.
Money line was -5000 for Purdue hahaha
-
I'd like to see a first half half box score for the Purdue game.

I'll take the FAU coach instead

Hahaha, fuck you Penny. Your team sucks.

God damn, what a horrible loss. Lol
I'll say this for Illinois, we've been #1 seed 4 times, and each time there was zero struggle in the first round

Bye bye Memphis 😂

FDU vs FAU - who'd a thunk

Yeah. Purdue was the best team in the Big 10. And they will be again next year.
You are a dumber than Tempo, which is tough thing to do. F"ing Hilarious.

The games today have been absolutely insane
-

Actually the very same FDU team gave us a fit in 05 as a 16 seed. Game Was tied at the half and we ending up winning by a dozen. Pulled away very late.

I said Ty Rodgers wasn’t a Big 10 player. He wasn’t.
Lmao. God forbid he enter the transfer portal but if he did Rodgers would have 7 B1G offers within a week.

For the end of the bench maybe or on a bad Big 10 team. If Ty Rodgers is one of your key players, your team is going to suck. Rodgers belongs in the MAC or a lower level where he can be a small ball 3/4 and his lack of shooting/height won’t hurt him.
It’s like arguing Minnesota’s players are Big 10 caliber bc they are on the team. They aren’t.

im going duke i need to recover the money i just blew

The problem with moving on from Painter is there's no guarantee the next coach can lead you to the next level.
Look at Texas for example. Rick Barnes was there for 17 seasons, 16 tourney appearances but in last 8 years didn't make it out of 1st weekend at all.
Moved on to Shaka Smart for6 years who didn't get past 1st rd once!
Then to bears who last year got eliminated 2nd rd (now under a interim this year who could lead em further)
The grass isn't always greener on the other side

True. If you strike out on Shaka and Beard, just goes to show how tricky finding the right guy can be.

I was wrong about Clark. Thought he would be a stud here. I don't think it's lack of ability though. He needs to grow up.
I think you were pretty high on Epps. The offensive skills are there. He might still be good. Can he defend at this level?
Rodgers is already a proven BIG level rotation player. He is a plus defender, rebounder, ball handler, and passer. Yes, he would be dominant at the mid major level.
Your comparison of Dainja with Pruitt was odd because they couldn't be more different in terms of length, hands, and footwork.
You were about 33% right about Mayer. He was Jekyll & Hyde. Bad Matt would show up about 1/3 of the time. Good Matt was often our best player. Without good Matt, we are in the NIT.

Musselman is a damn good coach.

Mussleman going shirtless is a bit much, but wish he was coaching at Illinois

“Some people.” And by “some people” I mean “no one.” They especially come in handy when a fan is trying to cover the 2nd half spread in a 10 point loss!

You can play AAU ball when you have great athletes. Underwood can’t play that way though.

We all know who the "some people" are and that Free Shots were an Achille's Heel the whole season, including, but not limited to, when needed to cover a second half bet.

Yep. You spotted the problem on opening night when a couple of guys had an especially bad night at the line. I thought you were maybe premature in worrying about it. Little did I know that a couple missed FTs would cost ThePAMan a 2nd half cover in a 10 point tourney loss in March; but here I am with egg on my face (so arrogant).

Impressive game from Houston to be down 10 at halftime, and come back and blowout Auburn.

And it's not looking good for Maryland.
-
None of our teams would be favored to get to the Sweet Sixteen except Purdue and Indiana so we'll see what Indiana does later today. Not a good look that Purdue Purdued and none of the middle teams could put a run together. We had some tougher draws (e.g., Purdue had a weak-ass 8-9 paired with it when Auburn or Arkansas could have been slotted there) but still.

Purdue Favors Old Basketball Ideas. Will It Keep Working?
"Hunting for hidden gems, Painter relies on personality evaluations called “DiSC assessments,” which the team’s assistants give to potential recruits. That analysis, Painter says, helps determine a player’s capacity to be coached"
"As Purdue’s players relaxed in armchairs in a team meeting room last Tuesday, they talked with Kelsey Dawson, a sports psychologist at the university who is traveling with the team during the N.C.A.A. tournament. Several players confided that they were struggling with their confidence. Many were having trouble sleeping."
"Purdue runs more than 250 offensive plays organized in around half a dozen categories, an elaborate playbook that players memorize in early morning workouts in the weeks before the season begins."

The mults revert to the woodwork (I.e, Bears threads) after a day or two. IVMP took a shit in almost every relevant thread in the hoops forum all day every day and had plenty of chances to knock it the fuck off.
I warned him 2-3 times, then the other day I came on here to find a multi-thread regurgitation of the exact same shit he’d been saying for days. Enough is enough.
Even Dominic knows when to give it a rest.

Heck of a game. Hated the outcome. Couldn't believe how they went cold in 2nd half until the last 2 minutes. Jaquez is such a tough kid, the Illini could use a few like him. Been a UCLA fan since 1967, 1st time I saw them was when they played the Illini in Chicago Stadium, led by Lew Alcindor. Only time I am OK with them losing is to the Illini.
Guess I'll root for Gonzaga the rest of the way.

Tyger another tough kid. How did xxxx let him get out of that state, being from Cedar Rapids? Yeah, Cronin didn't have a good plan to stop Timme but their best defensive center couldn't play.
Still can't believe Few set up a 30 foot shot to win.

When asked about UCLA's scoring drought in the second half:
"Wide open shots, and multiple times we got fouled, no call ... and Jaime (Jaquez) got murdered on about four layups."
The final foul count in the game? UCLA 15, Gonzaga 15.
The final free throw tally? UCLA 16, Gonzaga 17
Tough loss for UCLA, but Cronin's comments don't ring true. Watch the video above for his full press conference.

Refs desperately trying to put Alabama in a position to win this game.
-
San Diego State has a nice ball club.

Here come the refs…

San Diego
Super Aztecs!
-
Skeptical that Gonzaga and SD State are true "P5" schools in the wider, even beyond sports, sense.
Zaga is not but I'm not sure anything matters anymore.
SD State makes more sense in a sports conference than Washington State or Oregon State.
-
SDSU has no idea how to handle ball pressure.
-
A foul finally goes SDSU’s way.
-
Important FTs here. Especially if PAMan bet the 2nd half.

If this ball goes Alabama’s way Itasca goes up in flames tonight.

That was some Houdini shit right there.

Mensah is a beast.

Free shots important here, regardless of what Tempo thinks!

Suck, it Alabama! Make sure you take your pistols home with you!

Haha, Fuck Bama

1st Elite 8 without a 1 seed. Crazy.

Since IVMP is not here to say it, I'll say it for him...congrats to Miami and suck it, Nichi!

Larranaga is another dude who gets it done in March

Since IVMP is not here to say it, I'll say it for him...congrats to Miami and suck it, Nichi!
Yeah, gotta give him credit, I guess. He was on Miami the whole year.

For those of you AOTC enough to pick K-State, Florida Atlantic, Creighton, San Diego State, or Princeton to play in the NC game, then I tip my hat to you.

This is not going well for Underachiever to get the Texas job....

It’s asking a lot, but would really like to see Princeton win.

Miller's guys can't make a lay up.

Seems like he is ready to coach the Illini

The dumb fuck on Xavier smiling from ear to ear as his squad's getting butt fucked.

Do we really want Sean Miller? He can't even beat Texas. Even Underwood was victorious over them. :D

That Nowell for KSU is fun to watch. Wow
-
Florida Atlantic is too! Goldin is a badass. Too bad he’s Russian.
-
FAU has their entire team back next year. But some if their guys will get great portal offers. Be funny if they make the FF and half the team transfers. Illinois needs to make an offer for the big man Goldin
-
Good ball game.
Nowell with 24 and 11 assists.
FAU out rebounding KSU 36 to 18.
-
Feel like I was rooting for KState but FAU is winning me over. Moxie.
-
Plus Nowell is good, but he kind of acts like a jackass.
-
Every time KSU had a chance to pull away, FAU would make some killer shots to keep them close.
-
Plus Nowell is good, but he kind of acts like a jackass.
Yeah I laughed when I saw him yelling “miss” when the FAU guy was shooting FTs
-
Nowell go bailed out of a bad turnover there.

My thoughts and feelings exactly.

Yeah that was fucking stupid.

K State won’t die. Killer shot by Carter.
-
Oh shit. KSU hit the 3. This tourney has been amazing so far.
-
What a game!
-
Ice in his veins.
-
I’d have done everything possible to get another pass on that play.
-
Helluva game. Helluva tournament. Fuck the blue bloods.
-
Michael Forrest steps up and hits 4 clutch FT’s. How does Nowell not shoot that?!
-
Was surprised Nowell didn’t take the shot. He seemed to want every other shot.
-
Massoud should have shot it. Can’t dribble there
-
FAU coach will be getting a nice pay raise.
-
Show Nowell’s brother now TBS 🖕🏼 😂
-
Dusty May gonna get hired somewhere
-
Not as good as KSU-MSU, but close.
-
Massoud should have shot it. Can’t dribble there
He was 8-10 feet behind the line and didn’t have a ton of space. Not sure it was a smart pass.
-
I guess you don’t have to have UNC, Kansas, Kentucky or three 1 seeds in the Elite 8 to have a great tournament…
-
A little bit funny that EMAW probably thought they had a ticket to the Final Four punched and gotten over on Weber and KU only to get nut punched by a low midmajor.
-
That’s all on Nowell. Just a terrible decision and pass to put your teammate in a terrible position to make a play.
-
That’s all on Nowell. Just a terrible decision and pass to put your teammate in a terrible position to make a play.
Agreed. He needed to get to the top of the key.
-
Hope UConn beats Gonzaga. Crazy to think that Timme could potentially come back next year as well.
-
There were 3 defenders around Nowell. He passed to an open teammate who should have fired from 28 feet.
It’s either Massoud taking an open 28 footer or Nowell taking a contested 26 footer.
-
I don’t have much interest left in this tourney bc there’s nobody I hate still in it that I want to lose, and nobody I really care if they win.
FAU vs SDSU/Creighton
Gonzaga/UConn vs TX/Miami
Whole lot of “who cares” there.
-

I think Timme is going to have a tough time today

Open teammate?! 🤨
-
UConn may be 2018 Villanova where they destroy everyone
-
UConn the way more physical team.
-
Yeah, if I’m betting my money would be on UConn to win the title.
-
I just now realized Timme looks kind of like my cousin Tim.
-
Missed the end of FAU/KSU but glad FAU is moving on. Dusty May is about to get that paper.
-

I don’t see it that way at all. He acted like they had 20 seconds left instead of 4. It was a lazy play where he wasn’t looking to take the shot or penetrate to find an open man.
https://twitter.com/marchmadnessmbb/status/1639787216645009408?s=46&t=taZJ_d5ITWr6Hq3PUZDUiQ
-
If Massoud were a little more alert he could have launched a desperation 3, but Nowell didn’t put him in a good situation. Nowell ran it up like there was 15 seconds left.
-
Clicked the link Tempo provided and sorry but Massoud was not as open as Dom claims. There were two guys surrounding him when he caught it.
Nowell should have just heaved it himself. Problem is he was casually walking the ball up at the worst possible time.
-
Did KSU have any timeouts left? If they did, ouch.

Honestly though, he’s a POS.
-
2 minutes into the 2nd half, Timme picks up his 4th foul. Oof.
-
I feel like the refs won’t let Gonzaga get buttfucked.
-
UConn will be the overwhelming favorite in the FF. Too physical, too well coached, and the rest of the teams left aren't anything special.
Maybe Creighton could give them a game. They beat them once in the regular season
-
Gonzaga getting worked
-
I feel like the refs won’t let Gonzaga get buttfucked.
That's because Uconn is doing all the buttfucking for them

I’ll never get over the fact James Augustine picked up 5 fouls in 8.5 minutes of play.
-
I’m enjoying this.

I'm thinking Uconn wins it all. Just hard to pick against them right now.
-
UCONN-Texas should be deciding this in the national semi. Another year like when Duke wound up playing Butler because the low seeds were on one side and the better teams on the other.
There's needs to be serious discussion about reforming the seeding and bracketing process, but no one will actually want to go there.

What a thing that that same Butler team - minus their NBA stud, made it to the finals again next year, guess the low seeds were all on one side (aside from the fact Butler almost won that game)

SDSU missing 14 of their last 15 shots. Lots of layups and a dunk in that. Still only down 4.

If the Final is San Diego State vs Florida Atlantic, Gavin Newsom should offer DeSantis a friendly wager on the game then watch the FAU players say they don't want any part of DeSantis

This Creighton/San Diego state game is hard to watch. Ugly ass game.
-
Brutal game and what a retarded foul at the end
-
SDSU vs FAU in the Final Four. Just like we all predicted, right?
-
Sickening way to lose for Creighton. The refs made a touch foul call that didn’t affect the shot in an overly physical game. Their fans deserve to be irate

A shove in the back is not really a touch foul.
A fact I have not seen mentioned is Brian Dutcher's first coaching job was GA under Lou Henson at UI. I'm pretty sure he wasn't paying attention when Lou taught out-of-bounds plays.

It does get interesting now...
-
UConn vs Miami
FAU vs San Diego State.
If FAU or San Diego State wins, they become the first mid major of the modern era to win.
If Miami wins, at 73 I believe Larranagga would be the oldest coach to ever win a title.
If UConn wins, it’ll be their 5th championship in the last 24 years.
Some storylines here but I think the TV ratings will be pretty bad. If the title game is FAU v Miami I doubt many will watch
-
First time ever that the Final Four won't have a top 3 seed.
-
I expect UCONN but am rooting for Miami. Bizarre to realize we could've dumped Bubbles and hired Larranaga and he'd still be here a decade later. Guy is a hell of a coach.
As it turns out, at least in basketball so far, getting players closer to their realistic market value in compensation and letting free agency occur has had the opposite effect of what many short-thinking people worried about.

I think the G League and Overtime Elite leagues are watering down college basketball. The top 10 kids almost always went to the blue bloods. But now the blue bloods are left getting the top 10-20 players, and those guys aren’t that much different than the bottom 100.

There was a big stink after the South Carolina game with Staley saying media was unfair to her team because of "the color of their skin" and the style of their play and she implied media people thought they were "thugs, and monkeys".
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/gamecocks-coach-dawn-staley-pushes-back-style-play-critics-following-loss-iowa-were-not-thugs (https://www.foxnews.com/sports/gamecocks-coach-dawn-staley-pushes-back-style-play-critics-following-loss-iowa-were-not-thugs)
Then LSU players then started claiming that Iowa "disrespected" South Carolina by packing in a zone and not guarding the perimeter shooters and they were now all going to "take it personally".
Fast forward to the title game and everybody talking about race and it started to become a Black/White subplot.
Somehow the NCAA then assigns three African American refs to the game knowing full well it was a tense situation already. Put the refs under a microscope in a no win situation,and they did not handle it well; and then Mulkey played them like a fiddle and walked all over them. Mulkey is a killer and HOF player and coach.
The NCAA blew it. It took away from the great shooting game by LSU, and a good tournament.
A lot of casual woman's BB fans tuned in and saw a shitshow of bullshit allowed and a game that turned into a variation of a summer AAU game reffed by hacks and tilted for a home host of the tourney team.
Except it was the national title game. It hurt the game.

Lesson learned: women can be shitty refs too.

Also, from what I am reading, seems like some people are unhappy that (black) LSU players dished out what (white) Iowa players were dishing out to vanquished foes before they got their asses kicked by LSU.

The "disrespect" narrative was really weird to me, especially as it relates to packing it in on SC. First of all, it worked - had them way off their game in the first half, and the girl they sagged off didn't even look to shoot.
But then in the second half she made three 3's and shot them out of it! I don't understand remotely what disrespect is there. It looked like a pretty solid strategy to me, which they stuck with until the other team forced them out of it. That's just basketball.
I watched a number of women's tournament games, my first time really following it, and I gotta say those girls are fucking good man, they can play. Clark's a killer, Reese is great, Aaliyah Boston is a beast. I was impressed by the women's game overall.
That said, it really sucks that the narrative last night is about the refs and the Reese thing. I thought the Reese thing was ugly, regardless of race - if a men's player does that tonight my guess is there'll be a fight - and the arguments saying "Clark did the same thing earlier in the tournament" are incredibly disingenuous. And the refs were fucking terrible last night. That said, the narrative from last night SHOULD'VE been that LSU was just unguardable, hit everything all night. They were fantastic.
-
I feel really dumb that Mn had to clue me in on what it meant. Is “You can’t see me” really that big of an insult? Kids these days.
The context here is that earlier, Clark had done it to her teammates after making a big play. It was definitely shit talk, could argue disrespect I suppose, but she wasn't even looking at the opponent.
Reese last night was literally following Clark down the floor as the clock was ticking down trying to get in her face and do it (and pointing at her ring finger), trying to elicit a reaction from her.
The narrative that "Clark did it earlier in the tournament" is very disingenuous IMO. I'm comfortable calling out anyone who follows their opponent at the end of a win to get in their face and talk shit.
-
Or they never played the game?
Lol

Shocked you're running with this narrative. Shocked!
Just telling you the narrative out there. Sorry it offends your soft visage.

Good post spark. Completely agree.
But I wont be that hard on Reese. I was somewhat entertained by the classlessness. Every sport needs a villain. For instance, I like the shit talking Conor McGregor does and if more of these girls showed a little sass more people would watch.
I wish Clark would have smacked her. Normally I’d side with Clark bc I think the media lets black athletes do whatever they want with no ridicule, but this time meh. It’s trash talk. It’s childish “nananana you lost”, but ultimately harmless.

It makes you wonder how they lost 8 games. Playing like this they should have lost maybe 2-3 max.
-
UConn has won 4 championships since 1999. I think this UConn team is weaker than all of the prior winners, but they seem to have a really good coach.
A 5th championship in 24 years will look nice, regardless.
-
WTF happened to Spark that Dom and he and blood brothers?
I disagree with Spark a lot but if he has a good point then I will agree.
Bottomline is the black girl was classless to the white girl, and the only reason the media went after her is bc they hate Mulkey. Ultimately it’s nothing to get worked up over and there was no racist conspiracy against Iowa either. They got blown out. LSU had better 2 thru 7 players and better coach.
Clark probably likes the attention Reese gave her. The only money she’s gonna make is NIL so any publicity is good for her brand. Reese probably same thing. I do like Reese as I think she was the only girl out of that herd of butch lesbos that was wearing makeup. Gabby Marshall too. Other than it’s girls basketball. Flat stealing public dollars via Title 9. There are no victims here. Only the public forced to finance it
-

I think they are a good team in a very down year of college basketball.

Feels like UConn might be slowing shit down a little early. Letting them hang around a little.

Two things are quite clear:
1) The refs have no intention of letting SDSU back into this game.
2) PAMan is exhibiting a John Wick like focus to make this message board uninhabitable.

Pretty fair to both sides as I always am. Jason Whitlock had a good take too although I don’t agree with him insinuating Reese is threatened by a white players. She’s just an immature bitch. But if it helps her get some NIL deals good for her. Embrace pro wrestling personality. None of these women are victims and honestly taunting makes every game more entertaining.

Men's Tourney all about parity and how the portal is changing things to make the playing fields more even. There will be alot more like this years tourney (higher seeds going farther) than not in the future.
Women's Tourney all about all star teams and all star individuals....Reese was petty, Clark was too, no racism here, just gamesmanship and shit talking, always a part of every sport on some level. Get used to it or watch pickleball. Most watched final ever, once Clark is gone, the ratings will go back to where they have always been though, without Clark's talent, this tourney would not have gotten the recognition that enabled the whole Reese/Clark discussion to keep going.

Reese is trying to manufacture being a victim based on race and looks like a total idiot.
For the record- Clark had over $1 Million in NIL this past year. Could easily double that. ;D
Reese will be lucky to get a commercial for a nail place in Baton Rouge.

Pretty much. I take that back, FT shooting cost you a back door cover on a 2nd half bet. So in other words, FT shooting really did shoot them in the foot last year. Could have only lost by 5 had they shot better.

If you are going to limit the discussion to only one game, then, yes, the terrible Free Shot shooting did not cost them that game, but cost Illini fans who bet on them in the 2d half. Seems like an odd way to limit the scope of the conversation, but given how Spark is kicking your ass in the draft thread I guess you needed a cheap win here. Things really must not be going well for you on The Lawrence Welk board.

That you are a master projectionist.

Good non-answer.

You typed what you typed then accused me of something you had just done.
Projection is the process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, animal, or object. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another. For example, if someone continuously bullies and ridicules a peer about his insecurities, the bully might be projecting his own struggle with self-esteem onto the other person.

For me, it's hard to watch an NBA playoff game that I don't have a dog in the fight. It's wash, rinse, repeat. NHL, on the other-hand, is engaging no matter who's playing. Unless of course, Ken Hitchcock is still coaching. Avs are up against it tonight and it's looking like Russian interference may be decider.

And we will have a Game 7 in Boston....

Nuggets curb-stomped the Suns in opener. And yes, Chris Paul is still a scum sucking nut puncher. Here's hoping he never wins a ring.

Knicks vs Heat like it's the 90s again. Love to see it.

Both teams a little tentative at the start of this Bruin Panther Game 7

That helps.
Let's go Bruins.

Not so fast, my friend. We have Sudden Death OT coming up!

And the Bruins epic choke job is complete. Best regular season team gets bounced in the first round.

Have Bruin fan down the alley lamenting how this core choked in 2013 (17 Seconds fame!), 2019 (St. Louis), and now. And they are also hamstrung by the cap to make substantive changes.

Don't think I can ramp up the same intensity for the Avs Kraken game 7.

Toronto gags again.
What is the comp to the Maple Leaf? Historic, legacy team. They basically gag when they don't suck. Last won a title in the 60s. The Bears?

Don't know what exactly Evander Kane thought he was going to accomplish there.

Second straight year the Suns are down by 30 at halftime in an elimination game. At home.
Monty Williams should be fired right now in the locker room.

They are not physical enough.
They were better before they gutted the team to get KD, and Durant is now older and injury prone.
Ayton has stagnated and is really soft and kind of a head case.
Paul can't handle the physical grind of a season and get through the playoffs at his age.
They need to to blow it up and regroup around Booker and KD.
I think they have salary and lack of draft picks problems though.
I think they may be kind of fucked.

Agree with this. The Nugs are riding the wave of national disrespect. IIRC, the Suns were the favorite to come out of the West. Denver blows them out in historic fashion and all the national guys can only talk about Lakers/GS and Celtics/6ers. Keep it up guys.

every time I saw durant playing this year he looked completely disinterested

They did. Claimed whistle was blown.
And the NHL statement apparently said the play was ruled dead before the whistle was blown or the goal was scored.
If so, what takes 9 minutes to review ?
The last 2 minutes of regulation was great, but Toronto looked a step slow in OT.
"The referee deemed the play dead prior to the puck crossing the Florida line. The call was made in accordance to Rule 78.5 (xii), which states apparent goals shall be disallowed "when the referee deems the play has been stopped, even if he had not physically had the opportunity to stop play by blowing his whistle."

They traded away their whole future for KD. Two really good young players, 4 first round picks and a first round swap. It's going to come out like one of the worst trades in NBA history.

My friend down there thinks Ayton and Paul are gone.
They are in trouble.

Doc Rivers canned. Read that he has nine losses in Game 7s. Ouch.
Spurs getting Wembanyama. Popovich sticking around for at least another decade :D
Love watching the Nuggets play. Jokic making them triple doubles look easy. I'm rooting for them to win it all.

Bucks would be a great fit for Doc.

They definitely played better with Paul sidelined.

Well Ayton sucks, they shouldn't have ever signed him - it was a truly insane signing. They didn't really want him and in fact had flat benched him in the playoffs; he didn't really want to be there; max deal. It was crazy the second the pen touched the paper, and anyone thinking more than a few minutes ahead could've seen it was going to be a disaster. Even better, rumors are the Bulls are going to be suitors for him - fuckin' perfect. That new Bulls front office seems bad.
Whether Paul leaves or not, he's old and has never had success in the Playoffs. It'd be a mistake to rely on him going forward, dude's almost 40.
-
Bucks would be a great fit for Doc.
Would be a major downgrade, but not nearly as much as it'd be if they hired Mark Jackson, which would complete one of the funnier and stupider offseason coaching changes in recent memory.

I believe this was Doc's 10th game 7 loss.
I suspect Pop moves to the front office and they hire Budenholzer to be his heir. That seems to make a ton of sense.

I agree so far in these playoffs the all announcers for all have been pathetic
I want Heat vs Lakers final 2, but I live in Miami and lived in OC/LA. Gonna get crazy in Miami when these teams play the streets are flooded with leprechauns holding signs and I live almost across the street. I have to plan to not leave my place for al.ost a ten hr time frame.

It's taken them 47 years to get this far. I remember back in the early 80's being given tickets when the KC Kings were in town during a blizzard. We sat second row right behind Nuggets bench. The place was pretty empty and I could hear every word Doug Moe was saying. I even got to yell Go Illini! to Eddie Johnson who turned around and smiled. I think he played longer in the NBA than any other Illini I can recall. Very cool memory.
-
Heat are gonna survive an all time choke job. Good for them.
Their reward? Getting their shit pushed in by Denver in the finals.
-
Oh dam they won!
Because it was the first after a few that weren't rigged. I know everyone thinks nuggets have this in the bag. But Butler is phenomenal, then with Martin and Bam I think it will be a good Finals set.
Still wish Lebron had been brought back home to play though.
