*****OFFICIAL NCAA TOURNEY THREAD*****
- Thread starter Kevin Bryan
- Start date
Gotta give credit to Hubert Davis, UNC defense has been solid in this game, something they havent had since winning 2017 title. The D problem that Roy Williams couldnt fix during the last 4 years of his coaching career, Davis managed it in one season.
I had Iowa in the FF of a paid bracket challenge. Money down the drain... 😆
Big 10 already doing Big 10 stuff.
Can you imagine shooting below 40% and up 28 at the half? I dont recall the last time it happened even in the regular season, let alone a tournament game.
Easy to predict the B1G falling all over themselves when 2/3 of their conference aren’t even in the top 50 of Kenpom defensively. That’s pathetic.
@jhmossy is Georgia State's biggest fan right now.
After 8 games, I could be 7-1 and the 1 turned out to be Gonzaga vs Georgia St, this is unreal.

Hubert looks really locked in and his players do as well and while to me the D still isn't great the kids look ready to go. Marquette playing a little dirty and getting Love all fired up halps. Him being good is the only way this team is truly good and not just trying to get by.
Hard to stop Timme when refs are gonna let him take 6 steps in the post to get around his defender. Oh and on top of that call a phantom foul on the defender.
Nobody other than UNC fans are watching that ass raping with this Gonzaga game going on. 😆
I doubt Gonzaga will be beaten like this, even if they lose Id expect it to be a close game till the end. Virginia's defeat was more shocking that it was a 20pts blowout. We will surely witness more 16th seeds pulling off upsets in future, but I dont think another 20pts beatdown by an ultimate underdog will ever happen again.
The last time a #1 seed lost to a #16 seed, they ended up winning the tournament the following year. So fear not Zags fans, this can be a blessing in disguise, you may be the champion of 2023 March Madness.
Just imagine how much pressure the next 1 seed to lose to a 16 will feel to win it all the following year…UVA trend setting in this bitch
Gonzaga hasn't looked that impressive in the games I've seen recently. Still picked them to go far in most brackets because I figured they'd up the intensity when facing real teams again. Did pick Memphis to bump them off in a bracket or two though.
Huh? Iowa is the only upset. Rutgers was a play in game. Michigan beat a higher seed.
Michigan was favored against a garbage 6 seed. They have to wait until Saturday to take their ass-kicking.
Perhaps. They were also missing one of their best players.
If Gonzaga ends up covering, will people forget how dogsh*t they looked in the first half?
IIRC, refs get graded and those who pass the grade moves on to ref future games. I'm guessing Adams won't be moving on.
Nope, they show serious vulnerability and they won’t make it to the sweet 16 if they play like this against Memphis.
Second half has been better. Can’t beat Memphis playing the way they did in the first half.
Gonzaga up by 2 at half. 22.5 point favorites. 5 minutes left in game and they are up by 25.
