NCAA Tournament, the field of 65

[TheRob8801]

New Mexico State have been able to get way too many offensive rebounds in the second half.

Sparty giving up boards and clanking so many free throws...

...we'll see how well Maryland plays tonight but I have the feeling that if Mich St sneaks by this one the Turtle's gonna give 'em a spanking...

Exposed?

Everyone knew that Florida State had no clue on how to put the ball in the bucket...

I think the majority were expecting Gonzaga to win that one...

FSU was a 1 point favorite.

They missed a 10-second violation on Lucas. He only had one foot over the line when the shot clock was at 25.

HUGE offensive rebound by Sparty.

 

[jlb1705]

Did he get elbowed in the sack or something? I know this, he fouled out, and New Mexico State didn't have to foul there. It's a 3-point game and over 50 seconds left. They just needed a stop.

 

[jlb1705]

Aggies took too long on that possession. They got bailed out when MSU couldn't get out of their own way for the rebound.

 

[jlb1705]

And there's the obligatory contested three pointer from the underdog. MSU is going to have to do something they haven't done all night - make some free throws.

 

[jlb1705]

The crowd doesn't like it, but that was a clear lane violation and a dumb play by NMS. Made the second on the redo.

 

[jlb1705]

Sparty survives.

People are going to bitch about it, but it was a clear call - unlike all the ones that they let go without a whistle to start the second half.

It was technically the right call, but he was barely over the line just a bit early. I'd like to see the ref swallow his whistle there.

Wasn't pretty but Sparty's win makes the Big Ten 3-1 on the day... if the Bucks take care of business I'd say that the Big Ten had a pretty successful first round.

FSU was a 1 point favorite.

It was an 8/9 game, that's to be expected...

...anyone who's seen FSU play this year knew it wouldn't be a game

I really don't know this rule - if his foot is in the air above the lane when the ball is releaseed, is that a violation?

I don't know. When I Google "lane violation" this is all I find:

Well I guess since this was a known "given " for you, you obviously took home several benji's because of this game right?
