2017 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament - Page 5

SirFozzie · 03-24-2017, 11:59 PM

Took em long enough to get their first buzzer beater for One Shining Moment.

jbergey22 · 03-25-2017, 12:06 AM

Happ needed to be aware of the time. Why didnt he come out?

Some great round 2nd and 3rd round games make up for the lackluster first round this year.

UNC/Kansas looking good right now. Gonzaga has an easier path but they arent playing very well.

Arles · 03-25-2017, 12:11 AM

That Wisconsin/Florida finish was insane. That game kept up the craziness rep this east bracket has had so far.

tarcone · 03-25-2017, 08:49 AM

Make a damn FT, Wiscy.

Great game. Very fun to watch.

Logan · 03-25-2017, 09:56 AM

De'Aaron Fox was amazing.

MrBug708 · 03-25-2017, 11:20 AM

UCLA's defense, was not.

Its not that I can't find them really, its that I didn't understand why those channels have games on them. I remember tuning into CBS and catching all the info and updates all day long, which was awesome. I kinda miss that simplicity. I understand the difference now, and it is probably better, but without following it incredibly closely it is a lot harder for me to keep up. I get busy at work and can't keep changing the channel back and forth to find the one with action on it, or the one with the closer game.

Thankfully I will be back on 3rd shift soon and I won't have to worry about not being able to stream stuff like this, which would make it a lot less necessary to keep a schedule handy so I know who is on what channel and when.

I generally watch most during tournament time and usually just stream it, I just didn't realize things had changed so much on TV.

A note about the Division II Championship:

Tune to CBS for the D2 Men's Championship game between my alma mater NW Missouri State and Fairmont State.

Let's go, Bearcats!

Thomkal · 03-25-2017, 04:03 PM

woohoo Bearcats! I guess?

Yes, very much woohoo. On their way to being the only D2 team to win the Football and Men's Basketball championships in the same season. And did it losing 1 game between the both of them.

Congrats on the championship, Bearcats.

JPhillips · 03-25-2017, 08:46 PM

I know he's short and old, in a relative sense, but if Frank Mason falls to the end of round two as projected, somebody is going to get a steal. That guy is at least a valuable bench player.

muns · 03-26-2017, 01:40 PM

Man if a team wants to pick up and force the ball that far outside I don't understand why florida is still trying to run a legit offense. Spread the floor have the point beat the defender. And it should be money all day with drive and kicks or drive and fouls. This is kind of head scratching right now

Looks like no one summarized the end of the second game last night. I'll do it in pictures since we all know KU graduates can't read.

TroyF · 03-26-2017, 02:38 PM

Yeah, KU troubles themselves with tons of elite 8 appearances and losing while Mizzou troubles themselves with, umm, what exactly?!?!?!

Kansas has as many wins in the tourney since 2007 than Mizzou has had in its entire history. During that time, it has doubled the Elite 8 appearances Mizzou has had.

If Mizzou went on a Wooden like UCLA run, they would have to win the next 12 titles and have Kansas not win a single NCAA tourney game to match the Jayhawks history in the tournament.

I don't like Kansas much (OkState and Colorado are my two favorite teams). I'm thrilled that they were beat. But a Mizzou fan giving them crap? Seriously? Look at all those images and put a Tiger in them and that's been your entire athletic program for the last 50 years.

I totally agree with your assessment that KU sucks.

We just called in the firemen. We'll get it straightened out soon enough. KU's biggest mistake was not scheduling us and kicking our ass every year during the worst three year stretch in Mizzou's history. We'll do a bit better than eight wins next year.

Who picked South Carolina in their Final 4?

Mizzou B-ball fan · 03-26-2017, 03:42 PM

Kudos to Frank Martin. He's definitely a throwback coach with his heavy discipline approach, but genuinely a great guy and and huge asset to the basketball community and the SEC. He'll be fun to watch in the Final Four.

2 weeks of no ps4 or Missouri sports updates is like putting all of us in the penalty box.

cartman · 03-26-2017, 05:21 PM

Kentucky is doing a good job of keeping the game close with some of their key guys in foul trouble. But they are going to need them back on the court if they are going to win. The Tar Heels likely aren't going to have anymore 4 minute periods without scoring.

cartman · 03-26-2017, 06:03 PM

The Aussie for Kentucky is on fire!

cartman · 03-26-2017, 06:23 PM

Back to back clutch shots by each team! But UNC's was last, with .3 seconds left.

Young Drachma · 03-26-2017, 06:24 PM

Only watched the last 6 minutes of this UNC-Kentucky deal, but the ending here has been a legit heavyweight fight. And Monk man..what a dude.

Arles · 03-26-2017, 06:29 PM

Another great finish

RedKingGold · 03-26-2017, 06:33 PM

I want Monk on the Sixers.

Peregrine · 03-26-2017, 06:33 PM

Hell of a game - of course glad UNC won, but it could have gone either way.

wustin · 03-26-2017, 06:43 PM

Reminiscent of the Christian Laettner shot against Kentucky in the elite eight a couple of decades ago.

MizzouRah · 03-26-2017, 07:09 PM

That was quite the game, wow.

Julio Riddols · 03-26-2017, 07:13 PM

An all Carolina final will light things up around here.

I'd try to rank them comparatively, but I'm now up on the current order of WWE belts.

They even are trying to get in on the NXT action, with the SC women playing tomorrow for a spot in the women's Final Four.
