Week of 3/11 Games Thread

Based on how that 1st possession to start the 2nd half went for Maryland, they might just lose by 50. They look like they're done with basketball

As long as they lose by 5 I’m good

Oh, what a fun day. Been listening and watching games since 1130am, watching Big Sky finals now. Tomorrow's docket: same thing, but at various Sports Bars in Minneapolis. Friday: All 4 Quarterfinal matchups in person.

I love this week. Take days off of work every year and go travelling to a site to watch Conference tourney games. Seen the MEAC, Patriot, Big West, Pac 12, Big 10, Big 12, Ohio Valley, Mountain West, Missouri Valley games in the past. I just drench myself in this week.

So far one of the highlights of being retired for last 8 years is first Thursday of NCAAs . Still feel slightly guilty but it fades as tournament progresses.

jeez, Bucky using up their entire "FGs made" quota today...

 

[LvilleILL]

Maryland has given up, their guys are ready to be done

Good news? MSU beating Minnesota likely keeps them safely in the top 30 and thus keeps our home win against them Quad 1. Also, by knocking Minnesota out so early, hopefully tickets will be cheaper and there will be more orange in the building!!

Bad news? Maryland's win against Rutgers got them back up to #72, saving us from a Quad 3 loss and adding a Quad 1 win to our resume ... and now they are getting plastered by Wisconsin. They'll likely need to at least make this a close loss to stay in the top 75.

Need Wisky to pull their guys and save energy for NW. A fake rally by MD to lose by like 12 sounds nice

 

[hiberto]

Maryland still has yet to attempt a free throw in this game

 

[pruman91]

TCU scores their first points of the game with 10:23 left in 1st half...now 16-4 with 9:01 left in 1st half against Cellphone Scamscum.

 

[SuperMetroid]

As usual Maryland is complete garbage except against us

As usual Maryland is complete garbage except against us

Us and Rutgers, apparently

Big win today for Mississippi State.

St. John's looking for a big win over fellow bubble-ish team Seton Hall. Pitt could help their case if they finish off Wake (and shut the door on Wake's at-large chance).

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Us and Rutgers, apparently

I think Rutgers just might be even more garbage, haha ... shocking how bad they became.

Back with a vengeance next year.

I'll be over here chilling in my oceanside mansion on Pikiell Island.

Well now Wisky are just rubbing it in. What jerks lol

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Badgers going to feel pretty dumb if they come out flat tomorrow, when they could have pulled their starters much earlier today.

Took a break, went downstairs to the bar on the ground floor of our building to join my MD buddy for the Wisc game mid-first half. Left when Wisc extended lead to 80-40. What an absolute curb stomping.

 

[cs04]

yeah if you're up 40 with 5 minutes left, why not play the bench ?

 

[altgeld88]

I wince watching Maryland today. No chemistry remaining on that team, Reese is a punk (esp when he's frustrated), Harris-Smith and Kaiser should be solid in a couple seasons but are so limited as frosh. Just painful.

 

[AyoDos11]

Two conference tourney 1 seeds have lost today in the Quarterfinals to an 8/9 team: Richmond of the A10 and Kent State of the MAC.

 

[jumpingjack]

I suspect it may be in Los Angeles. Or maybe Las Vegas. But that just a (reasonably educated) guess.

Vegas would be a fun rotational site, especially after the Main Event last year..

 

[skyIdub]

Purple Kitties beat Wisco by 15 tomorrow.

 

[Scoregasm]

Purple Kitties beat Wisco by 15 tomorrow.

Wisky blew their wad today.

 

[Illini1985]

Is it better to play and lose by 40 to a NET top 30 team or not play at all?

 

[john1952]

Wisconsin 21 assists on 35 made field goals. 16/25 from three.
