Meat Chicken State looks unstoppable right now and I have a sneaky suspicion that Kansas will be there at the end.

Barry is pretty exclusive...he doesn't let just anyone join his team. You have to be Washington Generals kind of special.

Jmar's bracket got buffaloed!

The Bulls stampeded the ever livin' shit outta four future NBA players from start to finish.
It was an unmerciful pantsing for Arizona.

Buffalo's point guard Wes Clark had 25 and 7 assists and Jeremy Harris
(6-7 and 176 lbs.) scored 23 with 7 boards.

Can only say that it appeared to me the broadcast team that covered the game ONLY felt compelled to mention the FBI probe several times AFTER it was assumed that Arizona might very well lose.

ESPN analyst Jay Bilas tweeted (https://twitter.com/JayBilas/status/974824276607021056?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sbnation.com%2Fcollege-basketball%2F2018%2F3%2F16%2F17132156%2Fcollege-of-charleston-vs-auburn-last-second-shot-foul-no-call&tfw_site=SBNation), "Unfortunate missed call. No question, clear from seeing it live, he was hit (on) the elbow."
From a sports-history lens, this can't be underestimated. This is wildly historic.

Glad we were all watching.

Post by: Kaos on March 17, 2018, 09:48:53 AM: I don't watch basketball. Haven't really since the Barkley/Person days. Or, well, since I coached it for three years.

Yesterday, though, there was not much else on and I was just killing some time before I went to sleep. Scrolled by a game at the half where top seed VA was tied with 16 UMBC (who?) So I decided to watch it for a while -- I figured until Virginia imposed its will -- and then turn on a movie or something. Never got to the movie.

One of the most fun halves of basketball I've ever seen. The Retrievers could have slammed the ball off the floor and then done a spinning roundhouse kick that hit the ball. It would have flown into the stands, hit a guy eating a hotdog, bounced into the rafters and then fallen right into the basket without touching the rim. I kept thinking UVA would make a move, but UMBC had an answer -- usually in the form of an unreal drive through the lane or a three-point dagger.

The only people in the world who watched that and didn't enjoy had to be Virginia fans (or people with money in the bracket that had VA winning it all).

Down by 30 in the second half, make a shot and flex-thug to the point of getting a technical.

Second, we had been trending down since McLemoreâ€™s injury. We became a shooting team with no inside presence. If our 3 guards can hit, we win, if we canâ€™t hit we lose.

That being said, every swinging dick on this message board had their expectations exceeded 10 fold. Hang a banner in the rafters, celebrate our 3rd title. And letâ€™s get ready for next season. War Damn.

Yeah. Hard to make excuses. I'm not sure what all went down really. I think our somewhat "lucky" streak finally caught up with us.
Brown was shooting at a 40+% clip from 3. That fell to under 30%.
Harper had been playing lights out. Distributing the ball. Hitting clutch 3's. Not turning it over. And he has done the exact opposite last 4 or 5 games.
Auburn was close to 80% FT% all year, and in the tourney, I think less than 50%. That's crazy.
I think when Brown and McLemore got hurt, the confidence went out the window. When the shots weren't falling, everyone starting to panick and they simply couldn't turn it back around.
Honestly, I had not been sold on this team all year. I just couldn't believe how they had been winning like they had all year undersized and pretty much outmanned. But they fought through it and won the SEC. Congrats. If not for that, and being a 4 seed, Auburn would have been bounced the first game, because there was nothing left at the end of the season.

Losing your one post player changes the entire approach and how you play on both ends.

As long as the 3's being launched in mass quantity are landing its all good. When the other team KNOWS that's what you are going to do and D's up on you on the perimeter you die by it. And it gets ugly.

Every bit of this.
Title: Re: March Madness is almost here
Post by: jmar on March 19, 2018, 10:31:58 AM: I tend to think something came to light around the time of McLemore's injury. Suddenly we couldn't shoot, couldn't make free throws, turned the ball over uncharacteristically and our defense suffered as well.

Maybe it was the injury but it could also be a combination of things that got into their heads.

IMO...
with Arizona it was the news of the payoff.
*North Carolina had their belongings stolen.

*Can't get me to believe TAMU takes down 10 interchangeable sharpshooters like UNC has by 21pts.

Something has happened to our team. They just didn't become shitty.

That's all I'm saying. I'm wrong quite a bit. This might be one of those times but I haven't seen a viable explanation on this thread.

I think we underestimate Bryce Brown's shoulder injury. He showed flashes of his greatness after that, but he was never the same.

So...lose:
1) the defensive prowess of McLemore under the basket;
2) all the transition points (and hard to calculate momentum that builds when the team is running and gunning) that come from his league-leading ball swats (simmer down Snag);
3) Brown's ability to shoot with any degree of accuracy
and you're left with a bunch of small guards who can't penetrate.

We got figgered out and everyone guarded the perimeter and we couldn't score for shit.
Title: Re: March Madness is almost here
Post by: Kaos on March 19, 2018, 10:54:37 AM: Watched the game at a bar in Boise Idaho.

Nothing worse than a parade of people coming by AT HALFTIME expressing sympathy. It was good to find a communal hate for all things Bama, but having random Idahoans drop by like it was a funeral greeting line...

The bar manager comped my food, though. So there's that.

That's a very good explanation but not sure I buy it as the sole reason.
To me it seemed as if we became the 4 win team we were predicted to be...but I didn't view us enough down the stretch to have any opinion about our coaching. Did you think Bruce was on point during our losing skid...beyond the b.s., interviews and articles?

Post by: CCTAU on March 19, 2018, 11:02:43 AM: At the first of the season, I tell you there's this team that will lose two of it's top scorers from last season. Won't have a guy over 6'8" on the floor, no seniors, and will be down to 8 scholly players by the end of the season and still win the SEC. You would laugh at me!

We overachieved!
