This Marriott commercial they've been showing all tournament is driving me nuts. Every school represented gets cool looking pretty people. Except us.

lol One bad call deserves another.....terrible calls late by the refs in this MSU/Baylor game.

A star is being born

Alabama down to Robert Morris.

Please.

 

[tev.sm]

Glad we didn’t get the Robert Morris match-up. Bama may barely hang on to win.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Alabama down to Robert Morris.

Please.

Never a good idea to let a low seed hang around. They start to believe.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

What the heck is MSU doing?? They let 20 seconds run off the clock before fouling….

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

What is Mississippi State doing wasting time not fouling?
Going to take a Rafferty " Onions" to tie this game now.

.....wow, Hubbard should have had that ball.

 

[whodeycin85]

What a horrible play by MSU

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Let 20 seconds run without fouling. Didn’t let Hubbard touch the ball down 3 with 9 seconds left. Pretty inexcusable late game execution/coaching by Miss State.

Malpractice

SEC is getting cooked so far lol

Jans has a good reputation, but that was awful. If Hubbard isn’t getting it, call timeout.

Officials taking over for Bama a bit... not liking how they've shifted the calls.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

lol....Mark Sears with his patented jump into the defenders body to get a foul.
The refs should really start calling that on Sears

That elbow Nelson threw to the back of Dickerson on the missed FT, yet Dickerson was called for the foul, was disgusting.

Based on what we’ve seen so far, the SEC was very top heavy this year with four juggernauts and a bunch of good, but not great, teams after that.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

lol....Alabama bailed out by the refs.
They ain't final 4 good. Just a matter of time going forward til they get bounced

Yep...And when you get so many in the tournament you will have some lower seeded teams lose. Just the law of averages, I guess.

Definitely agree with this. Though, in defense of the rest, I think the seeding in this years tournament was absolutely dreadful in some cases. Zags as a 9 seed, Drake as an 11….. laughable. Even Robert Morris looks like it was definitely underseeded.

4-2 so far

 

[omghulkhands]

I can’t tell if Bobby Morris looks good or if Bama is jsut making them look good

Without Nelson on the floor Bama is pretty average. With him, they are good team but not necessarily great.

4-2 so far

4-3

 

[vols4lfe]

Could be mistaken, but didn't think a player could call timeout while they are airborne going out of bounds. Of course Sears was granted a timeout doing just this.
