This first game between Prairie view A&M and Fairleigh Dickenson is entertaining.

And do it begins. Plan on watching every game. My butt is gonna be sore. PV can’t stop FDU’S guard.

Nice to see Belmont get a win. Tough to see the Temple coach retire with a loss but better to have that in the Tourney then end the regular season

ASSu really taking it to St Johns right now.

Damn. I was rooting for St. Johns. They've pooped the bed so far.

Wow! I can't believe Dort walked away from that fall.

The Johnnies look like total shit.

It's crazy they're shooting 30% and 16% and somehow only down 10.

Edit: Now 13. Furk.

St. John's sucks bronto

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 8:03 pm

Anyone notice that no player or ref is paying attention to Chris Mullins?

Guess you have to be a total out of control lunatic like Hurley to get any attention.

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 8:24 pm

St. John's blew me away all year with how badly they seemed to underperform. People complain about Miller's coaching, but I'm not 100% Mullin actually has a game plan. It's like watching a pickup game with 5 dudes who just met each other.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 8:26 pm

Watching ASSU my only question is, how did we lose to these guys at home?

They looked good in the first half. They took the air out of the ball and lost all momentum. Fortunate for them that St John's is so bad.

That ASU/SJU matchup was one heck of a CBI game.

There's nothing out of control or crazy about what Hurley does on the sidelines. It's all designed and calculated to work the refs.

He learned it from the best. And it clearly works. Bravo to Hurley's performance art advancing ASU past the play-in game.

Chris Mullin...he just rolls the ball out. Aspects of in-game coaching like strategy are not his things.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 3:52 pm

Murray St is really good, really smart and extremely unselfish.

Oh and Ja Morant is the complete package. He completely dominated this game and he took... 8 shots. I love it.

I'm rooting for them to go far.

Catintheheat · Post by **Catintheheat** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 3:53 pm

First upset of the tournament. Murray State demolishes Marquette.

That didn't look like an upset

No, but seeding wise it is.

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 4:16 pm

If the Bulls get Morant, Lauri becomes a 30+ pt/gm player.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 4:22 pm

How can the suns pass on Morant? They desperately need a PG

Because Zion

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 4:35 pm

Yea I guess but man Morant with Booker, Ayton and Jackson could almost make you forget you didn’t draft Zion.

Only would a Sarver Suns team play some guy named Aston and keep Ayton on the bench.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 5:05 pm

Haha no kidding. Must be the other thread where we are talking about Dodge Caravans so I had Aston Martins on my mind (or at least in my auto correct)

Catintheheat · Post by **Catintheheat** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 7:03 pm

I like Wofford. I just hope they don't become fatigued down the stretch.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 8:45 pm

Wofford can shoot the 3!

It doesn't make sense how they can have so many good 3 pt shooters and a certain blue blood team in Tucson doesn't have a single decent sharp-shooter.

We have one in practice.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 9:26 pm

You gotta admit, today was a pretty disappointing as far as the first round goes. No upsets in the real sense. The only last-second shot to win the game was NMSU's airball, following their bonehead play and 1-for-3 from the line.

WildcatStunner · Post by **WildcatStunner** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 10:07 pm

Morrant is ridiculous. Would love if the Suns got him

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Fri Mar 22, 2019 7:59 am

Morant looks like a mini-Magic back in his green and white phase.

Annoying how Phx media will pretend this game never happened while running UA L's on their front page....

U.P. Zona Fan · Post by **U.P. Zona Fan** » Fri Mar 22, 2019 3:36 pm

This is the same team we lost to last year, this year they are an underseeded 6 last year they were a horribly underseeded 12 or 13

We should not have lost that game, but they are legit. Makes me hope Hurley stays at asu for a while, he might hire a superior assistant and then leave and they will get really good after he leaves.

Oregon putting Wisconsin away.

Catintheheat · Post by **Catintheheat** » Fri Mar 22, 2019 3:40 pm

Oregon is looking really good. They play like this and they have a shot at the FF. They've been playing great though for the last month. Peaking at the right time.

UNC needed a sacrificial lamb in the second round. So UW is playing on house money now.

Kind of hard to cheer for Mississippi State or Liberty. I dislike both schools, although Mississippi State deals more with location.
