Troy is useless

Kentucky sucks

Been saying it all year. If they don't hit the 3 at a very high clip they are not a good team.
Troy just let them have 2 WIDE open 3's and that's the worst thing you can do is to let them start getting confidence from 3.
Got to make them take tough ones.

They had the right approach but just collapsed in a matter of 3 plays. They may be getting gassed.

Troy more than likely was going to lose any way but they had so many chances to grab the momentum heading into the 2nd half.

They pissed it away.

Kentucky has a lot of depth to rotate in.
It looks to me Troy tired.

Yep. They had a chance. Still wouldn’t have worked out for them, though, as you said. Troy isn’t a good shooting team at all, and they aren’t guarding well. Bad, bad, bad formula against this Kentucky team.

This Marriott commercial they've been showing all tournament is driving me nuts. Every school represented gets cool looking pretty people. Except us. We get a fat slob walking his pooch along the poolside.

When I saw it the first time I thought....What the hell! One of those wasn't like the others for sure.

We have the best bracket we have had in years, this is the one year devoid of massive upsets in the opening round. Still got a good chance to make a deep run but this year's games so far have been kinda dull and predictable.

I cannot believe this Kentucky team beat us twice

Let's hope we get them again

 

[Stoked]

Troy’s offense is atrocious, but they have some solid defense. They’re the great-value version of us

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Illinois looked pretty good against Xavier.
I'd say they give KY all they can handle Sunday.

My bracket is straight garbage after today lol

That won't upload clearly but I parlayed the whole slate today and nailed it.

Awesome job! I couldn't make out the odds, tho.
What were they?

I can’t attach it but I saw an podcast interview on X that Will Wade did after their win yesterday. Addressed taking the NC State job and basically said that it’s everybody’s goal to get to a Power 4 program and told his players that some of them would be able to come with him. That’s probably true but I’m not sure it’s a good thing while McNeese is still in the tournament. He basically just flipped off their fans and administration and told them he plans to take some players with him. Looks like he hasn’t changed much from LSU. Maybe I’m just too old fashioned.

Sleazeball’s gonna sleaze!

Go Bluejays.

 

[Godfatha]

Even though it would slightly screw up my bracket, pulling for McNeese. I loathe Purdue and that elf-on-the-shelf dude.

I am so conflicted, hate Purdoodoo and Will Wade. Just fell out of my chair, they just called a 3 second violation on the P team, we couldn’t get 10 last year.

Edited to add….,

Would not hurt my feelings if Purdue wins to wax Wade so bad NC STATE has to go into UH OH mode.

Will Wade said, "I got my signature win. Peace out, y'all."
