***NCAA Tournament Day 4 Thread***

Not really....Its the NCAAT man. This is what "it" does. I mean fvck....UK was in trouble vs Wofford, and could have lost...UNC trailed at the half...So did UVA. Duke was in deep doo-doo. MSU was in a battle with Bradley. So its not just top teams from two conferences---Its been teams from the Big 10, ACC and the SEC. Its what the NCAAT does. Teases you every year......Greatest fvcking show on earth.

The point being that the talent gap that people like to push as a reason certain conferrences are more difficult to play in than others is pretty much horseshit. You have middle of the pack and mid major teams not only sticking with these teams but a shot or two away from beating them. The narrative that there is this huge gap between the best and middle needs to die.

But there is a HUGE difference. The tournament is a crazy animal. The best.most talented teams sometimes do not win. UK has worlds of more talent than Wofford----It ain't close. Duke has tons of more talent than UCF---And it ain't close. BUT talent isn't always enough. Or, you get a team who has a dude go crazy on you(Dawkins for UCF).

Wanna know why these teams can, and often do give the "Big Boys" fits?

The three point shot. Its the ultimate equalizer.

And to be fair, mid-major teams are starting to get some really good talent. BUT....lets be honest----It still isn't close to the talent that Duke, UNC, UK, KU, etc, etc....are getting.

UCF shot themselves in the foot and made too many dumb mistakes.

They didn't value the basketball and Tacko doesn't understand that he is 7'6" tall with seriously long arms. Just Wall up and rebound. He played stupid at times. He brings his arms down every time. He should know better.

Also, UCF needed to get that rebound off the Zion missed free throw. Get that ball and you win.

Duke got a lucky bounce or two, but UCF can blame themselves moreso than the refs.

Pretty much this.

FSU lost to Duke this year also because we couldn’t secure a missed free throw rebound when up 1. That was on us. And this was on UCF.
 
Such garbage that Purdue-UT plays before UVA on Thursday. Why would the 1 seed not get the advantage there?
