Mizzou has some bitch ass players.

More like Amy “Boner”.

This hasn’t been that great of a day so far

This hasn’t been that great of a day so far

It worries me for tomorrow, as a Kentucky fan. Because you’re right. There’s no way we go through the whole first round with no craziness.

 

[kyjeff1]

St Johns, not that impressed.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Not sure Kansas or Arkansas deserve to win this. Some ineptitude down the stretch.

Self should’ve played more zone. Cal’s kryptonite. Arky hit their free throws when it mattered though.

True. Years like this it seems if Thursday is bland then Friday is nuts

Pretty amped up over this Wilmington game. Have little hope of them pulling it off, but they have been really competitive to this point.

Did you go there? They generally have a pretty strong program, right?

Yes. I went to UNCW and haven't left Wilmington since. They have been to 8 tournaments, I think including this year.

They are still hanging in there. I'll turn over after this Michigan game ends.

 

[MGO2022]

Almost an embarrassing loss. Thankfully Donaldson came through with another clutch shot at the end of a game.

Good game. Congrats on winning Coastal Athletic Association tournament champions.

"boner", I barely knew her.

Even if McCollum comes to Iowa, he needs players.

Drake would win 5 games in the BIG

 

[jhmossy]

I went 11/16 on picks yesterday and lost 2 sweet 16 teams (Clemson and VCU). Didn’t lose any elite 8 at least but this is pretty much going how I expected based on my performance in the weekly pickem contest

Loved the way drake played and I still have reservations that he's not better than DeVaries. He was at d2 for 10+ years so I'm curious if he'll jump to Iowa given their NIL situation.

It's gameday and I'm nervous. I know its just Troy but with UKs recent struggles in the NCAAT I'm not feeling very confident. Hopefully Pope gets his first (of many) Tourney wins today.

You are being ridiculous, there is no way UK loses and it will be a blowout.

does anyone have a "you sound like a whiny little bitch" GIF I can borrow right now?

That’s as bad as the show where Shaq thought you got better gas mileage if you put less gas in the tank.

Bob morris annoying bama so far

 

[speedfrk]

Bama up just 4 at the half.

 

[boilerzz]

It's a Cliff Omoruyi dunkfest but Bama can't shake Bob Morris.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Raftery > Vitale as a color man.

He still has eligibility? Wtf?

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Miss St should've fouled Omier when they had the chance. They let the clock run way too long.

 

[RR30]

Did you not read the tweet? It's a joke lol.

 

[RR30]

Also, was really rooting for Robert Morris so UK didn't have the title to most embarrassing loss to Bob Morris. Looks like the dream might be dead. Oh well.

 

[speedfrk]

Man bama getting the whistles here. Damn

 

[kyjeff1]

Did you not read the tweet? It's a joke lol.

No, I didn't open the tweet, sounds like they got me.

Best conference of all time is 4-4 through 8 games.

To be fair, SEC teams went .500 during conference play.
