The Official 2024 NCAAT Watch Party Thread

Kentucky has no defense though.

Yep, and while they are outstanding on offense, they won’t likely win five tournament games the way they play defense. Hopefully they don’t miraculously learn to play D

 

[Sowbug2000]

Yeah, I picked Miss St. in this game. I guess there's a reason they put Mich St. in this even with a mediocre record. Never doubt Izzo in the tournament . It's not over yet IF they can make a run.

I picked State too....should've known Izzo would win!

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Yeah, Auburn is tough. They are top ten in offense and defense and they are very deep. Also, many will not agree, but Bruce Pearl is a very good coach. They could make some noise and ruin some dreams. I hate it, but they are for real

Idc how they do. Bama and KY though, hope they both lose their first game

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Both of these teams look like dog water which means that if we get an opportunity to face either of them they will shoot 60% from 3.

 

[BreatheUT]

Man Colorado State has gone in the tank early.

 

[volplaya8]

Awful half of basketball…whoever wins will be in fire Saturday….smdh

 

[BreatheUT]

Texas does not have an elite defense, so the fact that Colorado State is struggling this much makes it clear we should definitely want to face CSU lol.

Please don't start that.

 

[Boston Vol]

Seems like Colorado State caught whatever UVA was suffering from.

 

[omghulkhands]

I’m not surprised Miss state and South Carolina lost. I’m a little surprised both got whooped

 

[JCP201]

I haven't lost a game yet.

I have a bracket outside of VOLNATION that isn't busted yet.

 

[lawgator1]

For once, I have to agree with you, LG. The conference always needs some gravitas lol

Yes. And unlike football we really aren't in the same level of competitor for recruits. Some, yes, but nearly as much as football and so success of a South Carolina or a Florida would not really hurt UT that much. And if you meet an SEC team in your bracket then you are rooting against the rival, anyway.

 

[Volprofch05]

Looks like Colorado state caught the Virginia offensive woes disease, must be contagious. Hopefully Texas contracts it next.

I was surprised. I thought the SEC was stronger then that. They looked awful.

Yes, the SEC is a top competitor for the best recruits

 

[volplaya8]

Didn’t Colorado State have 8 at the first media timeout…did they just score 3 points in 16 minutes of basketball?

 

[Lankykong]

They were the SEC’s flukiest teams. Tolu and BJ Mack heavily relied on officiating I think but random refs don’t know they’re supposed to be good.

Oregon was a bad draw too as they just got N’Faly Dante back who is very good

 

[Creeker]

Colorado State held to 11 in the first half.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

And I thought Virginia was bad at offense…. This CSU team is playing like they’ve never seen a hoop.

 

[Pennheel]

Why did I pick Colorado St. after Texas' run to the Elite 8 last year. Wishful thinking on who I wanted to play Tennessee as a better matchup than who was actually better. I've missed 3 of my 4 on my bracket because of that. A likely match up between Barnes and
a former assistant in Terry. As long as they get by St. Peter's.

Lol at least my bracket is still intact.

Fixed your post. Welcome.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Holy **** this dude from Oakland is lighting Kentucky up lol.

 

[Volswin98]

Holy **** this dude from Oakland is lighting Kentucky up lol.

You would think he was playing us

 

[BreatheUT]

This Gohlke kid is lighting Kentucky up. He came from Hillsdale College. He's a blessed shooter.

 

[BowlBrother85]

And I thought Virginia was bad at offense…. This CSU team is playing like they’ve never seen a hoop.

Colorado State hit a 3 point shot with 6:50 left in the first half. Those were their only points in the last 15 minutes and 16 seconds of action.

I'm a fan.
