3/19 Games Thread

[Altgeld's Bells]

I get so tired of terrible final plays. Wisconsin didn't call a play at all. They just said Boyd, play hero ball, and do the same thing you've done the last 3 times. Doesn't take a defensive genus to say wait on him to drive and block him.

I think Rapp was wide open at the 3 pt line, too.

High Point to Boyd's cocky dreams

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

No upsets. NIL has and will ruin March madness

You said this after... 4 games?

 

[whatahack]

High Point did what Illini couldn't

 

[JJE]

I haven’t been able to watch the tourney today. Is Duke toying witg Sienna or is there a legit chance they can pull the upset?

 

[I-L-L 1318]

So sorry Nick Boyd! That's what happens when a B1G crew doesn't gift you 15 pts at the line.

 

[Kernal12]

I'm shocked. Big Ten not looking too good.

The reffing difference is a factor. Way different flow to these tournament games than the stop/start BS in B10 games.

Man it was crazy to post this with McNeese beating Vandy, Siena up 9 against Duke at the half, and High Point about to get their first NCAAT win in history against Wisconsin haha

Wisconsin was up 8 when i posted this.

Last year was a disappointment, and I don’t think anyone should disagree.

Glynn's gotta be pissed his son didn't get a chance to touch the ball in the end.

Louisville holds on by 4 over USF.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

I'm one for four in picks. I should just never do this.

There are tournaments when upsets just don't happen, last year was one of those but this year looks like one where Madness reigns supreme.

If the officials didn't go for Boyd's nonsense, I'm curious how things will shake out for Fears.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Just my observation, and probably people will disagree… USF fouled so much on every play but they didn’t call it. Just swallowed the whistle, and ensured the comeback.

Badgers playing down to the level of competition once again and it bites them in the behind at the worst possible time. They fit the “could make a run to the Final Four or get bounced in the first round by a 12 seed” profile like a glove.

 

[Retro62]

Okay, Clark Kellog is very rarely humorous, but him calling the High Point player an Allen wrench because he is there for one specific purpose was a good one.

Vandy has found their game against McNeese, back to about even late in the first half.

He might resort to:

 

[skyIdub]

That smaller team outrebounded Wisconsin.

Dear Illinois,

Rebound.

Sincerely,

Illini Nation

same i’m trash

Glad Wisc lost. Big ten 0-2. Boyd was acting up all game. He won't be raising his arms up n down.

 

[From the cheap seats]

Watching High Point beat Wisky and Siena scoring at will against Duke reminds me there are a lot of good college basketball players out there. The longer you let underdogs hang around, the slimmer your margin of error.

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

Let’s see Boyd wave his arms and mug to the crowd now

Nope. Tucked tail and ran back to the locker room.
