*****OFFICIAL NCAA TOURNEY THREAD*****

I can’t root for the Peacocks. Duke-UNC would be much more fun to watch. Plus, St Peter’s has no chance to beat Duke.
Wife and I were just talking about this.....YOu wanna see the Duke/UNC FF game....But then, its a cool, fun story with St. Peter's.

And I wont ever say SP can't beat someone. They took one hell of an opening punch from UNC----and are right there, TBH. Missed a lot of open looks, and two gimmie lay-ups.
 
SP just cannot hit anything....Which is a sign of being extremely tight....For the first time, this team looks rattled a bit.
 
Welcome to the story telling
You think Duke or UNC need officiating help to beat St Peter’s? 🤣

They don’t even look like an above average midmajor. The Wichita St teams of several years ago would shit all over them.

You are telling me this shit school has the talent to beat UK or Purdue without help? They sell a story every fvcking year.

We need to get the tournament out of CBS hands
 
UNC is good, but St Peters has no business being in the elite 8.

I would much rather watch UNC vs PU or UK. But you can't create a national buzz on Fox, CNN, ABC, etc ...if you don't sell a feel good story

Urgh

Weird-----UNC's big(s) seemingly not having issues with SP.

@Boilermaker03 -----can you explain this? Maybe Edey is just a big old 7'4", 290lb pussy?
 
It's CBS. It's a pattern I am so fvcking sick of. Time to trim the tournament back down to 32. Then they can't sell this garbage
Ya'll would still lose in the 1st round... 🤣

In seriousness----Match-ups man. Not to mention, SP has missed a ton of open looks----and are like 1-100 from 3.

Well, at least we would have made it, lol.

It's all rigged until it's not. Been watching basketball too long to not notice this crap
 
This NJ team is garbage and got help along the way. This is what really happens when they call it square.
They are far from garbage....Just a bad match-up for them.....Carolina has to much speed and size...

You drinking on a Sunday?

I love ya dog----but this "its rigged" shit is dumb as ****. SP played really well vs UK---equal match-up with Murray, and Purdue was dog-shit vs them. Carolina has came out and done what the better team should do. Plus, SP cannot hit a shot.

So in your mind, the NCAA, along with all the officials, other teams, etc, etc....decided when SP made the field, set it up so SP would beat UK, Murray and Purdue, to have a SP vs UNC Elite 8 game, opposed to a UK/UNC ELite 8 game?

Yep---makes great financial sense..

UNC has done what UK or Purdue should have done---sped the game up, and attacked them with their guards...

Not to mention, when you are a team like SP, you cannot miss 4 lay-up's, and 5/6 wide open 3's.

UNC has played well but certainly been fortunate. Love has made some bombs and St. Peter's has missed a number of very makeable shots.

Do you even watch TV Borden? Would every channel be talking about PU or UK? No. They create a buzz for the passive fan.

Use your brain bro. They can mug the fvck out of some teams, but not other teams.

CBS is into ratings. By the FF weekend, they know it will be a majority of hardcore fans. No need for Cinderella

Sure----this year.


And still would have lost early...🥴

BTW, Purdue has lost to a DD seed 4 times now.....Yikes.

I’m pretty sure they’d have preferred to have Kentucky win that one. Wasn’t that their first loss to a double digit seed in a billion years, btw?

Right, but St Peters created a buzz on every single channel. It was a marketing ploy for people that don't really watch.

St Peter was all over the news this week, which helps CBS

Like that Sister Joan crap

It’s been 30 years since the Laettner shot. If anything they would have loved a UK v duke rematch and a UNC v Duke matchup. For some reason they didn’t think far enough ahead to have both I guess.
 
It's been happening more and more since they put it on 4 channels.

You clearly don't understand how ratings work
I guess not....Maybe that explains Iowa constantly losing in the 1st round, though? 🤣

Ya do realize this isn't the first time a team has made a "buzz" in the NCAAT, right?

I mean do you seriously believe the NCAA conspired to get SP to the ELite 8?
