2014 OFFICIAL NCAA Tournament Thread: Connecticut wins the title - Page 6

Jas_lov · 03-20-2014, 08:38 PM

I can't believe NC State missed that many FTs to clinch it. But now St Louis is down 2 players who fouled out.

The St Louis-NC State game completely fell off my radar.

SI

Thomkal · 03-20-2014, 08:48 PM

wow Tyler Lewis wow

Vince, Pt. II · 03-20-2014, 08:54 PM

Wow, T.J. Warren.

Glengoyne · 03-20-2014, 08:54 PM

Now Oklahoma is trying to set my bracket back.

PilotMan · 03-20-2014, 08:55 PM

AAAAAAAGH.

I had NDST in that game, but changed when I saw I had 3 12 teams winning-thought that was one too many. will kick myself if that's the game that stops my perfect string. Of course st. louis may give their game back to NCST

Vince, Pt. II · 03-20-2014, 08:57 PM

Hard to believe that this NC State - St. Louis game has had only 2 lead changes.

Hopefully one more.

Jas_lov · 03-20-2014, 08:58 PM

Wouldn't the coach have mentioned in the huddle, don't you be the one to foul, TJ Warren, you have 4 fouls. Idiots.

Vince, Pt. II · 03-20-2014, 09:00 PM

Once the ball gets over there though you have to foul, so it had to be Warren. Hard to game plan that.

Thomkal · 03-20-2014, 09:02 PM

man that was an ugly display of missed free throws

EagleFan · 03-20-2014, 09:02 PM

"Keep making defensive stops."

Seriously? Those defensive stops were the other team unable to make freaking foul shots.

Lathum · 03-20-2014, 09:03 PM

What a sick comeback by St Louis. I though they made a mistake going for the tie at the end, they should have gone for 3 and the win with Warren fouled out and them unable to make a FT.

St Louis really showed how important it is having veteran leadership.

Jas_lov · 03-20-2014, 09:04 PM

Warren could have been the one to guard the inbounder. That's just stupid coaching. He's their best player with 4 fouls, he should be the last one that commits the foul.

sterlingice · 03-20-2014, 09:06 PM

And in!

SI

Thomkal · 03-20-2014, 09:06 PM

I'm not sure my heart can take three back to back OT games to keep my perfect string going...

PilotMan · 03-20-2014, 09:09 PM

I'm not sure mine can handle one.

Thomkal · 03-20-2014, 09:10 PM

man three tries to win it..

EagleFan · 03-20-2014, 09:10 PM

wow, another OT tonight.

sterlingice · 03-20-2014, 09:10 PM

This has been a fun first day. It's lacking that giant upset but a lot of fun games

SI

mauchow · 03-20-2014, 09:10 PM

2 overtimes in prior two tourney's and four today alone?

Lathum · 03-20-2014, 09:12 PM

The timing of these games has been perfect. Just as Uconn is wrapping up St Louis is making their push, then that ends and the ND State game is in the final minute.

mauchow · 03-20-2014, 09:12 PM

there is something wrong with end-game basketball when the last 1:12 takes 15 minutes.

I completely missed the SLU-NCState game because the UConn-StJoes game went long

SI

PilotMan · 03-20-2014, 09:21 PM

The refs are having a rough night in Spokane.

Vince, Pt. II · 03-20-2014, 09:21 PM

Whistle happy all of a sudden.

Crazy for this kid to get into the game, touch the ball immediately and then hit two free throws cold as ice with just over a minute left in OT.

EagleFan · 03-20-2014, 09:24 PM

Oklahoma imploding over the past 30 seconds.

mauchow · 03-20-2014, 09:24 PM

Wow, ballsy shot by that guy in NDSU to give 4 pt lead with 20 seconds on shot clock still.

Vince, Pt. II · 03-20-2014, 09:25 PM

Ballgame, ladies and gentlemen.

Thomkal · 03-20-2014, 09:25 PM

man Oklahoma very sloppy in the OT. Congrats to Pilot and NDSU

PilotMan · 03-20-2014, 09:25 PM

HOLY CRAP! I went from throwing shit all over to this!?!?!?!

PilotMan · 03-20-2014, 09:27 PM

NDSU has only been D1 for 5 years. This is going to be a big one for the school.

Woot!

Will be curious to see if Saul Phillips is the guy that takes over Wisconsin once Bo Ryan leaves.

As much as I'd like to see Tony Bennett take over, I don't think Tony's going to 'settle' for Wisconsin when Bo's done.

Vince, Pt. II · 03-20-2014, 09:28 PM

WTF was that possession by Oklahoma? Why all the kick outs? I know it's basically over, but there were three shots there I would have been ok with my team taking in this situation before they finally took a shot.

EagleFan · 03-20-2014, 09:28 PM

A timeout with 3.5 to play, down by 5 and the other team getting the ball?

Glengoyne · 03-20-2014, 09:29 PM

So 12-0
With SD state, Texas, Louisville, and Villanova to go.

Thomkal · 03-20-2014, 09:30 PM

:::kicks himself::: for not sticking with the NDST pick. At least i used them for the Pick 5

not staying up for the late games, have fun guys

mauchow · 03-20-2014, 09:31 PM

I would LOOOOVE to see Milwaukee take this one.. holy smokes.

Lathum · 03-20-2014, 09:32 PM

good news- I am 12 /12 in one of my work brackets

bad news- Its the one I picked Duke to win and Virginia to make the final 4.

Matthean · 03-20-2014, 09:33 PM

A 2 seed going down would pretty much end any talk of a billion dollar bracket.

MizzouRah · 03-20-2014, 09:34 PM

SLU baby!

PilotMan · 03-20-2014, 09:34 PM

Or something like Louisville not making the round of 8.

sterlingice · 03-20-2014, 09:36 PM

I agonized over the bisons in the second round. I finally didn't send them to the sweet sixteen. I think that was the most difficult decision for the whole bracket.

Buccaneer · 03-20-2014, 09:44 PM

My son picked both NDSU and Harvard and he's pretty stoked. That's why I don't do picks anymore, I just defer to him.

Buccaneer · 03-20-2014, 09:45 PM

Btw, his big upset pick is Villanova losing.
