Heh, yup. We're much better at home than on the road...

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 02:06 PM

Pacific got up by six and then looked like a team that didn't know how to play with a small lead late in a game. Composure went straight through the window.

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 02:08 PM

By the way, calls are being made by the Cartel that is the BCS/"Big Six".

Seton Hall (Big East) - Out. Oklahoma (Big 12) - Out. Boston College (Big East) - You've gotta help us.

We've got a big game against Michigan tonight. If we win that then we go to Notre Dame. Talk about playing against some name schools...

Looks like UTEP can't play one of the teams I care about (Hofstra and ODU) until the final 4...

WSUCougar · 03-16-2006, 02:08 PM

Score?

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 02:09 PM

BC by 2, with the ball. 3 minutes plus to go.

wade moore · 03-16-2006, 02:11 PM

76-74 BC 2nd OT just starting (don't know exact time cause it's a commercial).

ThunderingHERD · 03-16-2006, 02:11 PM

Charlotte station cut off the 2nd OT in favor of the Winthrop-Tennessee game

wade moore · 03-16-2006, 02:11 PM

Oh, and BC has the ball.

MrBug708 · 03-16-2006, 02:11 PM

Nice dunk. Pacific is done

Young Drachma · 03-16-2006, 02:12 PM

That should about do it.

wade moore · 03-16-2006, 02:13 PM

BC nails a 3 with the freshman from richmond and then they follow up with a steal and a HUGE dunk.

It's now 81-74 BC with 2:50 left.

wade moore · 03-16-2006, 02:13 PM

and another steal and stall the ball.

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 02:13 PM

The Bailout Foul Call with Four Seconds left in the 1st OT looks like it will cause BC to move on.

Oh well, the "Cartel" is going to get a few wins in the opening round as well.

st.cronin · 03-16-2006, 02:14 PM

It seemed to me that Pacific got a little 3-ball happy in that second OT.

DaddyTorgo · 03-16-2006, 02:14 PM

bailout foul? bailout? i dunno about that

They did in the first OT as well. They just weren't as lucky this time.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-16-2006, 02:16 PM

AND the foul

wade moore · 03-16-2006, 02:16 PM

Yeah, that was a clear foul in my book.

This is more about Pacific just completely collapsing in the 2nd OT.

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 02:16 PM

Yes Bailout it was. PU just ran out of luck and gas. Maybe this will wake BC up, as in Round #2 they will be playing what may amount to be a road game if Nevada gets past Montana.

wade moore · 03-16-2006, 02:17 PM

Hurry this game up so I can see my Vols prove everyone wrong

.

Young Drachma · 03-16-2006, 02:17 PM

I feel for those Pacific fans, your team gives you hope and then completely melts down. Not that I can't relate...

JonInMiddleGA · 03-16-2006, 02:17 PM

REjected !

DaddyTorgo · 03-16-2006, 02:17 PM

everyone up here in Eagle country is worried about what the team will look like next year without Hinnet and Smith...I keep trying to chill them out...Tyrese Rice and Marquez Haynes are going to be great players for this program

PackerFanatic · 03-16-2006, 02:18 PM

Pacific, don't scare me like that...geez...

Almost a big bracket buster on the first day...

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 02:21 PM

DT, how do you see BC recruiting going in years to come now that they no longer compete in conference with schools from the northeast? Will you see a larger amount of players from southern states because of this? Will this possibly turn off recruits who want to play college basketball in the northeast now that trips to Syracuse, UConn, SJU, 'Nova, Pitt, Gtown, etc., are no longer available?

Does the move hurt or help in your eyes?

Neuqua · 03-16-2006, 02:21 PM

Great start for the little guys. Here's hoping they can continue through the rest of the weekend.

Watching the end of regulation & the opening of the first OT, I was thinking they might be _better_ without Smith than with him.

yep! i IMed my sister over at BC and I think my exact words were: "Craig Smith is not that good! Why do they keep giving him the ball with <10 seconds left in the game for him to throw up desperation heaves or lose the ball!!"

wade moore · 03-16-2006, 02:23 PM

ARGH! Why do I get the Minneapolis bracket instead of the DC bracket when I'm in Frickin VA?!

Young Drachma · 03-16-2006, 02:24 PM

Woo...c'mon Winthrop...

Young Drachma · 03-16-2006, 02:25 PM

The way they're shooting threes so far make my NCAA March Madness video game strategies not look so bad.

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 02:25 PM

The first Kryzrasdgkdvdkski commercial I've seen. For Chevy. Oh boy.

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 02:26 PM

May be a lonnnnnngggg night of hoops. The first game in San Diego (Marquette-Bama) begins just before 4:00pm est. Last game may not start until at least 11:30pm est, and that's if they play all four games straight through (no sessions).

JonInMiddleGA · 03-16-2006, 02:26 PM

Aw FUCK ... we're getting Fla vs S.Alabama instead of UT/Winthrop.

I may understand why the number of games sent to a market is what it is but the (lack of) logic of how games are distributed is something that may perplex until the end of time.

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 02:27 PM

Same here Jon... Hopefully USA gets up by about 30 so they will switch this one over.

Winthrop is due for a breakthrough. GO WU!!

See my post above.

I get freakin' Minneapolis instead of DC, so I miss the Vols...

wade moore · 03-16-2006, 02:30 PM

Dola: Hopefully at least S. Alabama will give me the payoff of beating those damned gators, but not looking so good for that so far.

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 02:31 PM

Let me see here.... Folks in the TN-NC-VA Tri-State Area, you'll get Nevada-Montana. That's right.

When is that game?

Luckily we do get the UNCW-GW game tonight, if we didn't get that I might have to completely kirk-out.

Young Drachma · 03-16-2006, 02:33 PM

That's pretty weird the way they're distributing the games. I'm in WY and I get the Winthrop-TN game, seems like that might irritate the folks in Montana, who might want to see their team lose.

Seems like Tenneessee is trying to speed up the tempo so much that it takes Winthrop out, but...I dunno that it's going to work.

Young Drachma · 03-16-2006, 02:35 PM

Gotta love the beer commercials during the college basketball tournament. Aah, that good ol' wholesome NCAA. Always looking out for the students.

Does the move hurt or help in your eyes?

In my eyes it helps, no doubt. BC itself is still in the northeast of course, and there is no doubt that being in the ACC competing ACC schools will mean a larger porportion of players coming from the southern states/tobacco row. BC will be competing with Duke and UNC and NC State and Maryland for recruits, as opposed to competing with Syracuse and Pitt (because frankly UConn doesn't compete with the rest of the Big East for recruits). And IMO, as long as we remain a strong program (as we have been with this past recruiting class) we should begin to attract players of roughly that quality (perhaps not a Reddick, but a step below that). Rice for example was heavily recruited by (I believe) UNC (maybe NC State?) but chose BC. Haynes I hear was heavily recruited by Illinois, Oaklahoma and others. And I'm not sure who they have coming in this next year (honestly I am not THAT much of a Bball fan to follow recruiting), but I hear it's a good class. I think for a couple years we may end up with a lower-quality class than Duke/UNC, but eventually I think DeFilippo (the AD) hopes that a move to the ACC will result in us being on par with Duke/UNC as far as recruiting. Academically of course it's a whole different ballgame, and that will have some effect on our recruiting. But overall I think it's a positive move and the quality of our recruiting classes can't help but go up (Smith and Dudley FYI were barely recruited by anyone coming out of HS and look where they've taken this team). If we can put in a few more years of being the 2/3 team in the ACC then I think we will begin to be taken seriously by some of the low 1-st tier guys that Duke/UNC recruit.

wade moore · 03-16-2006, 02:36 PM

btw - MK, sorry but I have to jump off of the mid-major train just for the Winthrop vs UT game

.

Butter · 03-16-2006, 02:36 PM

Lofton is starting to take over for UT... they're up 6. Fla. goes up 9 early on USA, that may be over in a hurry.

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 02:40 PM

What if too many "Lower Tiered Schools" won too much in any given tournament? Seriously, would the powers that be at CBS, the NCAA, and the BCS/Big Six Cartel do something to make sure this did not occur again? What if the biggest names in the Regional Finals next weekend were Wichita State and UAB? Would the "Cartel" take their ball and go home, so to speak?

Would College Hoops become a similar version of postseason College Football in terms of availability?

Hmm..doubtful. They'll write it off as a fluke.
