NCAA Tournament Thread

Just a joy to watch him play. Crazy good player. Wonder how he ended up at Murray St and not some blue blood program?

Overlooked.

Same thing happened with Grant Williams

Here's his story from wiki:

Morant was not ranked by recruiting services ESPN, 247Sports, or Rivals. His only high major NCAA Division I offer came from South Carolina. Morant was also planned to be recruited by USC, though he had already made his own decision by then. He was accidentally discovered by mid-major program Murray State of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) in July 2016, when assistant coach James Kane attended a camp hoping to see a player who was joining his team. While looking for a snack, Kane noticed Morant playing a three-on-three game in an auxiliary gym; impressed, he contacted head coach Matt McMahon, who soon offered Morant a scholarship. On September 3, 2016, Morant committed to playing for Murray State during dinner at McMahon's house. His father said, "Every parent wants their child to play at a big time program, but what I realized is, don’t go where you want to be, go to where they want you." His other Division I offers included Duquesne, Maryland Eastern Shore, South Carolina State, and Wofford.

Morant is trying to win it by himself. Too much. FSU looks legit. Lots of length and they can shoot the 3. They look like they're gonna be a factor in this tournament.

It looks like Murray State's run in the NCAA Tournament is coming to an end. FSU is really boat racing Murray State.

Every time I root for dang Florida, they just phone it in.

Every time I root for dang Florida, they just phone it in.

Florida only attempted 2 free throws the whole game. They were nothing but jump shooters today.

Nicely done Michigan. Now just need Kansas to send home the barn tonight.

Suck it Florida.

Florida St. is one team I want to avoid in the tournament

 

[zjcvols]

Beilein continues to amaze

I agree. They look tough.

Hopefully they still aren't mad about 98.
I had Murray State for my upset pick today. Oops.

Man, Gonzaga looks great. How in the world did we beat that bunch?

Tennessee played the best game they played all year in the game against Gonzaga

Were they minus a starter for that game or was that Kansas?

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Were they minus a starter for that game or was that Kansas?

They were missing Killian Tillie, he's their 6th man and was out almost all year.

Gonzaga was without Killian Tillie.

 

[tumscalcium]

6th man only because of injury.

 

[tumscalcium]

Gonzaga giving Baylor 10 to start the half. Ugh.

 

[volsarelife1]

Gonzaga just for a huge gift from the officials.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

6th man only because of injury.

True

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Gonzaga just for a huge gift from the officials.

Yep

 

[volsarelife1]

Yep

But the Baylor guy shouldn't have put himself in that position after getting his 3rd either.

 

[hUTch2002]

Foul on wofford with 17 seconds left was refs throwing the game.
Guy went straight up.
You don’t call that unless u want the other team to win.
No call there wofford gets the ball down 2 with 17 sec to tie or win.
And u honestly know reversed they don’t call that on KY.

That’s why we all hate ky.

I agree that one looked like a bad call.

 

[VolnJC]

I'm not a NegaVol but IF we get past Iowa...Purdue gonna rain down 3s on us and beat us like a rented mule if they play like they are tonight

 

[tumscalcium]

What was that about, Kispert? Dork.
