*OFFICIAL* March Madness Game Discussion Thread

damn, 1 and 2 seeds already down in the east

(3 seed Purdue better watch out lol)

 

[RockyTopJA]

Haha love the shot at the cats at the end of the game. “A 1 seed is out in the east! A 2 seed is out in the east, Kentucky!”

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Baylor couldn't buy a 3 when they needed it.

 

[JoAllan]

That was some horrendous coaching right there.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

East Bracket seems to be up for grabs.

How much was our “blown lead” in our OT win against Iowa in 2019? Around 25 wasn’t it?

Found it. 25. Basically same game as this one.

[Voltime123]

Yep

These announcers are not good. They said that could have been FTs but the Baylor guy stuck his leg way out to try to draw that foul.

They changed that rule this year didn't they? If a player intentionally sticks their leg out to initiate contact they call it the other way.

I believe so. It’s suppose to be an offensive foul.

I did as well

Spare me. I don’t care for either team but I get severely tired of people blaming poor play on referees all the time. It just gets old. Refs always play a part. But if you don’t think blowing a 25 point lead in 10 minutes ain’t choking, I can’t help you. That is an absolutely ridiculous statement to say it wasn’t a choke. That’s just justifying NC making all sorts of mistakes to let Baylor back in the game. Kudos to NC though for surviving an epic collapse.

Just take the L… most ppl who watched the game don’t put their heads in the sand when the refs obviously took over in the second half

Well I agree usually. You don’t come back from 25 down with 10 to go without severe help from the refs

NC was up 25 when they lost their best player on offense and defense to a flagrant two call. Giving up a run to a one seed isn’t surprising when your best player is sitting in the locker room.

Agreed that wasn’t a flagrant 2 intentional, Baylor had a guy playing like crazy Rodman all game and he played all game. That bogus call changed the game

 

[Voltime123]

Don’t get me wrong that Brady Manek foul was a flagrant but not deserving of being kicked out type of flagrant. That should be reserved for actual intentional elbows and intentional punches

 

[DocVOLiday]

would love creighton to make it a game, but have a feeling kansas will run away with it

 

[jtipto10]

No take your trash loser team back to the coal mines. Calipari is trash and I’m glad he will be your loser coach for the next 5 years or so.

Coal mines? Come on dude. Have some class.

At least make fun of them for remortgaging their trailers to get tickets in Indianapolis only to go home in round one. They gambled the family reunion myrtle beach trip on that game!

UNC shot 10 more FTs then Baylor....made 5....they were in the bonus within 4 minutes of the start of the 2nd half...Manek decided to throw an elbow and it changed the momentum...refs were poor on both sides...

That’s because Baylor was fouling lol the problem I have is ejecting a player for an unintentional elbow how do you not see the problem there?

Well sure they affected it. They were allowing some extremely physical play and NC didn’t adjust. But we evidently have some blind people on here who completely discount North Carolina’s ineptitude that last 10 minutes. Again I don’t care for either team and don’t care who won but to say that NC had nothing to do with that collapse and that it was all on the refs tells me that some folks don’t understand basketball. Or they hate a team just enough to only see what they want. Oh well I’m tired of trying to educate them. On to Michigan.

Sarcasm confuses Ricky. He’s shirtless at your door by now. Call 911.

Explain kicking out UNC’s leading scorer for an unintentional elbow? I guess I was blind to that blantant BS
