March Madness 2017

[Jake]

Now that the best 2 days are over we're treated to single games at noon today and tomorrow - Notre Dame (of course) and Duke (count on it).

Suddenly, going out to play in the snow and freezing rain got a lot more appealing.

Juggalos had little trouble dispatching Kansas State, 75-61.

OHIO'S MARCH MADNESS SCHOOL!

C'mon UCLA, end this now.

30-2 opening round. Too bad I had SMU in the sweet 16

This Carter kid can play for WVU. Minus some of Huggy Bear's vices, I love the program he has with the Mountaineers. Steals Ohio kids too.

I remember when Matta used to mix in a great press, 2-2-1 and some 3 quarter court pressure to mix things up- gosh, maybe back to the Jamar Butler days and some years after that. Maybe a little with Craft picking up full court but that was just his style.

Doesn't seem like he's been comfortable implementing ANYTHING new with the his latest rosters- offense or defense.

Watching Esa Ahmad play well for WV bums me out.

i'm hopeful that wvu/nd is a prelude to l'ville/ttun. by almost every key metric, ttun is a carbon copy of nd and l'ville is a carbon copy of wvu.

Allie LaForce to Bob Huggins: "How will you celebrate this win?"

Huggins: "I'm gonna go recruit."

 

[Bucklion]

Huggins being his usual jovial self

 

[Jake]

Bucky doesn't seem intimidated at all by the defending champs, who have won their last 7 versus B1G teams.

Wisconsin 31
Villanova 27

Think there's some Football/Basketball School thread, but I'll share this random nugget here.

Looks like the new Illinois coach is Brad Underwood. Was at Oklahoma State this last year but coached those good Stephen F. Austin teams.

A good signing in my opinion

 

[OHSportsFan]

Ouch. Wisconsin with Koenig and Happ in foul trouble.

All on some very weak calls.

Think there's some Football/Basketball School thread, but I'll share this random nugget here.

Only one conference has more than one team on that list.

B-1-G! B-1-G!

Jesus, guy flies at Wisconsin 3 point shooter and lands on his foot tripping him. No call.

Right after Koenig had driven the lane and landed (not ran into) a Nova player resulting in a "charge" call. Bullshit.
