Yeah…I’m on board with the shot being lucky. To bank it in basically means you are 2 feet off target but yet awarded 3 points

I’ve watched a small amount this year….some of you have watched way more and know way more about these teams. Looking at the brackets what are some clear cut things you see in the 1st round of games?

I watched ESPN show and all 4 guys had virtually Zaga/Zona and their Final 4’s and Elite 8’s were very similar….it’s not that easy.


I’d like to hear some of your thoughts.

I'm intrigued by that potential second round Gonzaga-Memphis matchup. Eh, fuck it. Let's go bold prediction. Memphis will win that game.

How about a printable bracket with dates and tip-off times for 1st round...anyone got one? Can't find one to save my life.

Arizona is really good, but now missing PG (may be back). 

Some higher seeded teams that can make some noise that I like - Chattanooga, Virginia Tech, UAB, Loyola. Richmond I do not think is a great team, but they are old and experienced...so they will play Iowa tough. Not sure they can score enough, though. 

Gonzaga/Memphis is round 2 could be an amazing game, or Gonzaga will fundamental them to death and score at will while forcing bad shots and turnovers. Boise is tough as hell (all the MW/WCC teams are this year), but I still think Memphis gets it done. Since Bates left the team and Penny went off on media, they are -- by metrics -- a top-15 team.

Man the crew on Tru TV for these games tonight….

Rex Chapman and Candace Parker just seem so awkward and not right for the job. Both keep reading their notes for sentences at a time and Candace looking at wrong camera while Rex struggles to talk.

I think Candace is great. I think the in game team was horrendous. Avery Johnson is a travesty.

I always think I’m in the minority and don’t notice when a commentator is good or bad (like I did with Avery tonight.) But then again, I also think Gus Johnson yells too much, Bill Walton is too bizarre (everyone thinks that though) and Hubie Brown doesn’t stop talking. 

Looking forward to tomorrows games. UD arena should be fun between WSU and Notre Dame playing.

Tanner Holden of Wright St has 20 in the first half and leads the nation in free throws made. Holden is from Wheelersburg and we faced him 3x in basketball and he was better in football. Was a WR, Burg won a state championship and Holden beat us 3x but we got them once. He had huge TD receptions and a pick 6 on us.


Basketball he always seemed overrated and was often held in check, always in foul trouble….then in the district championship game he went like 42/17.

Still had a better chance for the pros in football

His Wheelersburg football team beat my brothers football team in state championship game in 2017. It was a crazy game. Ended in OT, Holden had game winnning TD catch off the "Tebow jump pass" play.

We actually held him in check most of the game except for that catch.
