The 2023 March Madness “Other Games” Thread

Seth seems mad that one of his stone cold locks is letting him down. Hopefully ULL goes 3 for 20 at 10:00 tonight.

It all comes down to making shots. Vols are either on or off.

And when they score more points they have a very very good chance of winning.

That’s for any team though

Coaches getting themselves T’d up is dumb. Especially dumb when it happens late in close games. Mizzou went on a run that likely will ice the game right after the Utah State coach got one. I never understood people who think it helps the team that does it.

Magical by Furman. I believe the previous 2 points from Furman were from their big guy who is a 50% FT shooter hitting 2 free throws.

Yes.

To be fair, Furman choked the final two minutes and all of the sudden had two crucial plays when it was time.

Didn’t hurt. Missouri missed both free throws.

Utah State missed a lot of wide open shots

 

[Vol49er]

Me too, but I know if I pick everything right today it just means tomorrow will be a bloodbath.

One time a few years back I had 30 of the 32 second round teams right, and the two teams I’d picked incorrectly to win in the first round I had losing in the second anyway. Felt like I was gonna win a car and all that. Then I had one sweet sixteen team right and none in the elite eight

 

[knoxvol52]

I hope Missouri gets bum rushed by their next opponent

 

[allvol123]

Yes.

Agreed they fell apart at the very end.

I was watching that guy and thought to have any chance he has to make both of these.

Warren Buffett is giving any B-H (and their businesses) employee $1,000,000/year for life if they have a perfect bracket after Sunday.

Tony Bennett and Virginia has become the Rick Barnes of the first round of this tournament lately, going 1-3 in their last four first round games.

can’t convince this group. Many times folks on here saying Barnes need to get a T.

Most of those folks don’t know what they’re talking about

Really looked like their sloppy ball handling was going to give their chance away til magic happened

Anybody besides me think that Candace Parker and Seth Davis might have a friendly side bet if Duke and Tennessee play each other in the second round?

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

4.2% of brackets remain perfect.. I am in that 4.2

 

[Plecoptera]

This Charleston-San Diego St game has been good so far.

 

[ShowSomePride]

Tony Bennett and Virginia has become the Rick Barnes of the first round of this tournament lately, going 1-3 in their last four first round games.

If you look at their last 5 tournament appearances the championships sticks out like a sore thumb. Not that I wouldn't trade a lot worse for a ship of our own

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Great. They are running an NCAA promo featuring Loyola-Chicago’s 100 year old, evil nun. I don’t need to keep being reminded of her magic.

Good publicity and he knows the probability that he ever has to pay off is extremely low.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Good publicity and he knows the probability that he ever has to pay off is extremely low.

And good for employee morale. But even if given a 75% chance of picking each game correctly, the probability of being perfect after 48 games is infinitesimal.

They have a $100k reward for some other pick performance. And if Creighton makes the FF he sweetens the prize.

Utah State missed a lot of wide open shots

They had that nightmare shooting day that happens in this tournament. Just hope that's not us!

 

[knoxvol52]

Charles Barkley stating the NCAA needs to put a stop to these extra years COVID is over these guys are old he is completely correct
