The Official 2024 NCAAT Watch Party Thread

[BreatheUT]

Texas A&M is about to go down. Wade Taylor has made no impact and the Aggies have missed 13 FTs at least.

Best game of first weekend was Colorado v. Creighton double overtime.

Really boring tournament, to be honest.

Have to think this tournament has put a sizable dent into the “expand the field” narrative.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

There’s just a difference in watching top teams like Purdue, UCONN and Houston score confidently. We will have to be a totally different team on Friday than what we saw last night.

Doubt it. The narrative was never based in fact or logic. It’s based strictly on $$$. That hasn’t changed. Expanding it isn’t about getting better teams in, it’s just about lining the pockets of already wealthy people.

Did they even play each other?

I don’t disagree. I do think support for the idea will wane, maybe enough to delay expansion but ultimately won’t change the end destination. Expansion will come. Maybe this tournament changes the flight time but that’s it.

The upsets will take place today. Colorado was the popular upset pick (didn’t pan out) along with James Madison and Grand Canyon. I believe one of these last two win outright. But, I think we see a large upset today. I don’t see Northwestern being able to hang with UConn but the Utah State and Texas A&M games…. Going out on a limb that one of these pull off a huge upset.

This take was as freezing cold as mine thinking that Utah State would have a chance to win.

Oregon vs Creighton, but absolutely a great game. Oregon just gave out.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

This is unreal.

 

[volplaya8]

Houston will get to finish line but this is not how you close out a game…brutal

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Two absolutely awful shots by Wade Taylor. You had 10 second left, not 3. What are you doing? Man. Just awful.

 

[The Dog]

He has ties to East TN. I think we ultimately passed if I remember correctly.

No, we wanted him and lost to Clemson. He stayed home

Holy Crow

[TennesseeFan07]

No Cryer and basically everyone with a pulse has four fouls.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Holy crap

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Two absolutely awful shots by Wade Taylor. You had 10 second left, not 3. What are you doing? Man. Just awful.

He also put up a 1 on 4 brick at the start of that last possession.

 

[Aerie Vol]

Holy freak! UH has to play OT with no players.

 

[volplaya8]

Maybe they wont get to the finish line…Houston we have a problem

 

[panhandlevol]

March Madness is the best postseason in sports. No comparison

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Wow

 

[BreatheUT]

Crazy finish to regulation
