MARCH MADNESS 2014 - NCAA Tourney Thread

  Bazz ain't losing this.

  Napier is pulling a Kemba. He's so damn good. UConn could march all the way to Texas.

I hate myself for taking the easy way out there, especially given how much I have hated on Nova all year.

  Teams that live-and-die by the 3 are so hard to predict.

  Just pathetic....they can't make layups, and most of the time they try to go inside they turn it over
• wildcats20

  

  So that's not a foul? Come on.
• gut

  holy shit Napier going down could be the only way Nova wins this game
• wildcats20

  

  Doesn't look good for Bazz. Damn.
• wildcats20

  

  Achilles.

  wow....Shabazz looks done

  Not sure he would have made it back down the court to play D.
• gut

  Seems crazy, but the way the trainer was looking at his foot I was wondering if some kind of freak stress fracture

  I mean you never know...
  
  But based on what he was pressing on, it's not an Achilles. He was messing with his shin and front of his ankle.
• wildcats20

  

  It's not the same ankle as the first half, that's for sure.
• Mulva

  

  Ouch. Did not see that first half play before. Surprised that wasn't worse.
• wildcats20

  

  You have to make him work now. He's not right, not even close.

  Yup : thumbup:

  lol that was big time travel though
• KB0938

  Uconn is lookin pretty damn impressive, I had Nova losing next round to UNC anyways
• reclegend22

  

  And Napier with an Isiah Thomas finish. He's even better wounded.
  
  Apparently Nova has never heard of the Mikan Drill.
• gut

  I hate how every time an athlete gets hurt they talk about "how tough" they are. 99% of the time an athlete that can play and still help his team is going to play.
  
  The correct way to refer to it would be "he's not gutless".
• ernest_t_bass

  

  VillaCHOKEa.
  
  They're playing awful.
• reclegend22

  

  Nova refusing to die. Just pull the fucking trigger. It's over.
• Mulva

  

  Didn't want to jinx anything by commenting too early, but after Tennessee over UMass this was the 2nd easiest upset pick in my opinion. Not Nova's fault for the seeding, but they were nowhere near 2-seed good this year.
  
  Especially huge since I have Iowa State in the elite 8. Would have hated if Nova made it there due to Niang's injury.

  The score doesn't remotely reflect how thoroughly Nova was outplayed in the 2nd half.

  And the last 10 of the first half. It was 20-11 Nova.
