Chat here. Getting interesting already.
Pulling for Big10 and Big12 today and against ACC, SEC and everyone else! I'd like to pull against the PAC12, the conference of champions, but well, you know, we can't.
Even though my heart says pull for the purple kitties, I do think it'd be kind of funny to see them lose to umbc. And it would be seriously cool to see a 16 seed in the sweet 16.
Carson Edwards looks like he's wearing work boots. Right now he's playing like he's wearing work boots.
Purdue about to win the state championship. West Virginia playing in a state championship game today.
I'm calling the nasty Syracuse upset. š¤Ŗ
@Crimsonorblue22 Ohh, ouch, I hate to see Syracuse advance more than any team out there to be honest. But MSU's seriously major black eyes this season almost makes me want to pull for cuse. But I just can't. Syracuse will be allowed to play their usually mugging defense with impunity by the striped arbiters. Ugh, I hate that team. Go spartans.
But right now it's about 60 and sunny, so I must go enjoy it with a run! Someone keep this thing going!
Go MSU.
And Scott Drew lost again, ending Baylor's 49-game home winning streak against unranked nonconference foes which came to a heartbreaking end.
Mississippi State shot 13 of 22 (59.1 percent) from beyond the arc while Baylor went 3 of 12.
Key play
After Manu Lecomte put Baylor ahead 77-75 with 5.2 seconds remaining, Weatherspoon silenced the Ferrell Center with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to clinch Mississippi Stateās first 24-win season since 2010
Syracuse, which mauls people all day long has twice as many FT's as MSU.

Syracuse is 100% still a big east team at heart.
I read earlier today that UMBC filed for trademark on its 16 vs 1 win.
Don't they have a to?
@Buster-1926 Replays the last 3 days have ruined a few great games. Almost makes the sport unwatchable honestly. It shouldn't come down to calls at the end of a game. Honestly, it probably messes with the evening out of calls that would happen over time.
Bridges coming back?
Tough draw for MSU. Facing a zone like that on short prep time sucks. Now I'm just hoping Cuse wrecks Duke. I feel very confident we can dismantle the Cuse zone better than we can handle the Duke size.
Buster 1926 said:
Lord these replays are awfully long. Bridges look š ing for a foul to go with Momās free lunch š„ LOL
Well...I mean...the Syracuse player literally slapped his arm. Refs really favored Syracuse in this game.
That said MSU missed their last 1 million shots and absolutely lost the game all on their own.
Izzo needs to take care of his problems now
Big 10 only has 1 team going Sweet 16. Was really close to none.
AT least Self knows for sure he will be facing a zone in the second game.
If they make it.
Some ugly shooting by both teams
Kcmatt7 said:
@BShark And got a jump ball on a clear foul and a turnover on what would be called a foul at the end of the games 99% of the time...
Cuse is a mediocre team and MSU just proved again how down the Big 10 was this year.
Yeah, I was wrong about MSU this year. Overrated. Ultimately I don't think this game matters one bit. Duke isn't losing.
@Buster-1926 I can't stand Izzo or Boeheim. Bright side from this game is one had to lose.
Anyone rooting for Roy or not?
@RockChalkinTexas More like rooting against the ACC.
I like Roy. Just don't want to see a 2 ACC team FF.
And we beat A and M
@Crimsonorblue22 Agreed. But they were a different team when we played them. They have to contain Berry.
There were fouls all over by both teams that weren't called. Battle got mauled on that first turnover. If you see favoritism it is because you want to.
I think Doke will be lucky to play 20 minutes before fouling out if we end up playing Duke. It will take a special effort from Vick, Newman and Svi going ballz to the wallz rebounding. Also, a great job from Vick in the middle of the zone.
Optimistically speaking, if there is any team in CBB that could shoot Duke out of that zone, I'd think it would be us.
MSU fans have turned on Bridges. Their message board is a dark place rn and I love it.
Kansas, Duke, Syracuse. 95% of sports journalists in America are headed to Omaha.
Wins vs tournament teams this yr
KU: 17
MSU: 2
25% shooting vs 35%, both teams deserved to lose.
I hope KU is spending a portion of practice gettting ready for Duke. 70% winner of tonightās game 30% Duke. Donāt need to waste any time on a potential āCuse matchup, been there done that.

2011- 1st round loss as a 10 seed after entering the year preseason #2.
2012- Sweet 16 loss as a 1 seed
2014- Elite 8 loss to an inferior team after everyone was picking us to win it all.
2016- 1st round loss to a 15 seed
2018- 2nd round loss to 11 seed in a de facto home game when it was National Championship or bust.
Izzo better be thanking Trice every day for getting on his hot 4 game run or he would have nothing to show for in March since flirting with the NBA."

A&M taking it to UNC...
I'm conflicted on the A&M/UNC game. I have UNC in the title game in my bracket and still have all 4 Final Four teams left so I could make up a lot of points in later rounds, but my girlfriend is an A&M grad so I have reason to cheer the Argues.
Since she's not a big basketball fan, I'll stick with UNC so I hopefully win some money and get her something nice.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Not thinking that life can be better when she is happy? From people's comments here about how they react (punching walls, etc) when we have lost, I hope if your bracket holds that she has lower expectations of her team! Or watch out when you try to distract her by buying something shiny, such as a Jayhawk necklace.....
Makes me happy. Follow my flawed logic. KU beat aTm whoās taking UNC to the woodshed currently. UNC is a team that doesnāt pass my eye test the little bit Iāve seen them play. UNC is also a team that just beat a Dook team that is playing the best ball of its season. ergo KU should beat Duke if they should be so fortunate to play them.
Seriously ??
Forget North Carolina ... yuck. Yes Roy is a good guy and KU connection, but he has won enough NCās. Buh BYE
LOVE that they are going down badly... Mi. St too... to Syracuse.. beautiful! now if we can get the Puke Devils to lose...
Hey this just in... did you know the tourney is a crap shoot ??
Agggggies
Man!!! Coach Roy and UNC getting undressed.
How good would it look to have Tech, WV, Syracuse, KSU and A&M. All teams that we have beaten in the sweet 16, Self and Co know how to schedule. I know it really doesnāt give us an edge at this point but beating good teams is nice.
Guess we don't have to worry about MSU anymore. Was hoping we could have met MIZZOU in the championship game but I guess they were afraid, so they did their One and Done act again.
@jessejayhawk I wouldnāt ever want to play Fizzou in the NC, Iād take our a chances forsure but we all know in Missouri they only play 14 holes of golf because they canāt make the final four.
Shoot I forgot UK is in the sweet 16 as well.
Man this tourney is getting crazy. - - -North Carolina - - -GONE - - Arizona - -GONE - - -Virginia - -GONE - - Michigan State - -GONE - -Tennessee - -GONE - - -Wichita State -- GONE - -crazy crazy

Nice home state advantage for Mich St and UNC!
Who do we want in Clemson/Auburn?

What a crazy f-ing tournament this season
AAC Sucks
UK going to play all double-digit seeds all the way to the FF.
Would love to see this Nevada team do it though. So fun to watch.

@Texas-Hawk-10 thanks.

Yep, those dbl digit seeds are child's play. Like VCU. And Stanford. Bucknell. and Butler.
@Kcmatt7 I just remember those years, (VCU and Stanford), when we thought we had it made because someone we saw as a patsy had managed to knock off a team that we saw as a bigger threat.
I just hope UK develops some Morii-level overconfidence and gets soundly smacked by cruel reality.
Well guys we going to be playing Clemson. - - That's ok. I know this will sound crazy BUT This 3rd game Is the one I've felt the most confident about - - meaning I just feel myself - I feel the best about taking this game - -was more nervous about Penn - -Then was really nervous about Seton Hall.
Now watch we need to be careful as this is the game that will jump up and bite us in the ass - me getting to cocky lol
@mayjay Yea I keep waiting for that UK team to revert back to what they were a month ago. Hasn't happened yet though.
SGA and Knox have become great players and Diallo looks like he is playing for draft position finally.
But, a week to gameplan for Brucie is a scary thing if I'm UK. Especially if they get Wade back.
Silo Tech in the Sweet 16? Is it even possible? Would Liberace break out the chandelier, and the white gloves? Have the hayseeds suddenly swerved into minor relevance, or will they blow it, and get run by a 16 seed?
I think I want the Hawks to play Auburn... dang!
@rocketdog Well buddy I think I would have to- -BUT that's not going to happen lol. -- Clemson up 40 69-29. I still am not overly worried about Clemson - I think they lost one of their big studs. - -I think if we play our game - I'm not sure they have anyone who can match up with Doke - -we still haven't had a really good 3 pt outing - -I at this point have faith in the guys - we have different guys stepping up - -Last night - -Devonte was off but Malik and La Gerald picked him up - -SVI being SVI
I think we will still have a strong showing of support in Omaha - should have a strong following - I may be whacked but I think we have a really good chance at getting to the elite 8 and facing tripperboy - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
I know I'l probably be stoned for this - -But I am rooting for K-State tonight - sorry guys but I just want our league to Step up - -Show the Nation - -we have to send a message - -We have been called the toughest league - for the last few years and then wet all over ourselves.
I want ALL our league teams to keep right on winning- - let's get 4 in the sweet 16 - - OK throw your stones now lol -- I mean JUMPIN GEE HOSSIE TOADS lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
I'm all in on Kstate this tourney. No Wade, and they're playing pretty well. Refs are letting the University of Maryland Backup College retrievers hack the crap out of KSU guards this game. Luckily, KSU played WVU a couple times this year so they don't seem too fazed by it.
@BShark They have gotten better don't you think buddy? - the only thing that chaps my ass about them right now is - - Calipari wants to still call them Freshman. - -Can't remember where I heard this statement - but some Coach said at this point and time of the Season - these guys are not Freshmen anymore - they have played an entire season - - They are now Soph. - -He said the best thing about Freshmen- -they become Sophomores
@Buster-1926 I've been saying all year that Dook is OVERRATED. It is a media hyped team with some very talented players. But their guards suck, and we would eat Gracie Allen alive.
Letās hope we want Clemson ...up by 30
They just said the 1st time EVER that the top 4 seeds have been knocked out in a region in the Tourney. - -All top 4 seeds in the South are OUT
@jayballer73 I have to choke back the vomit every time they show Weber running around like a maniac, but what the hell. His players are gamers.
I would honestly suspect most of us are rooting for KSU, some will not admit it and other like me have no problem saying I am rooting for them.
Man this UMBC team wants to shock the world again?
Kentucky gets to play some crappy team, Duke gets to play some crappy team, and we're stuck with a 5 seed that just destroyed a conference champ four seed. I didn't watch, but everyone's singing Clemsons praises now and I'm sure they'll all be salivating about their chances to knock us out.

Bubba forget UK and forget everybody else. Got a sneaking feeling this year is going to be special for KU.
I think possibly the ref's getting caught up by the media attention for UMBC - -and the fans - -Brown about got his arm ripped off twice - -and yet NOTHING. - Take that media darling bullshit somewhere else - If you wanna call the game - call things BOTH ways - just because you got some little jr high kid ( Mora ) out there - you don't want him to get hurt - -don't think he can foul - -PLEASE - I can't stand K-State but come on don't screw the league by getting all wrapped up with the fans
I'm sort of glad we're playing a big-time conference BB team from a football school over a mid major/former community college team with nothing to lose and refs on their side.
YOu have to admit it though? This UMBC Head Coach just became a millionaire. This will be his last year at UMBC. LOL
I never want KSU to win in anything...ever. We know anytime the achieve moderate success they are the new super power and feared by all. Remember that one year they made an EE, you would've thought they won 8 straight NCs the way they acted. Go UMBC!!!
@jayballer73 I've noticed that too. I think these refs have gotten caught up in the history making in the process here and have been screwing KState.
But please calling a player a junior hi kid because he's little? I've loved watching that kid play. Been a lot of fun.

Doesn't matter who wins this game anyway.
Also this game is a crime against the sport of basketball. Just atrocious.
Don't see it as rooting for Kstate. See it as rooting for the Big 12.
Think about it like this. If Kstate wins then we Big 12 fans can say hey ACC your best team couldn't beat UMBC, yet our bottom dweller Kstate did. LOL

Mid majors has been our down fall. Good point.
Been stuck on 34-33 forever

@wissox - -WOW - -what were we just talking about? - - - If that wasn't a flagrant 1 on that UMBC player on Sneed - -what the hell is? - -just gave him a huge forearm to Sneed's upper chest and they call THAT a common foul? - -get the hell out of here with that - perfect example of what we are talking about
What is all the Kentucky love? Screw them guys.
Didn't realize this coach was Dave Odoms son. Got some good coaching bloodlines line there. He was pretty decent. @jayballer73 I generally don't like the whole flagrant one thing. That one in my view was marginal. It was a push off of a player who was in his grill. It was really stupid.
KSU wins
If Wade was playing in this game - -I think he would have a field day against these guys
jayballer73 said:
@DoubleDD - -umm hello - -were not even playing Kentucky - -let you know we are playing Clemson/ - - lol. - the reason people are giving Kentucky respect is because they have improves a lot from the beginning of the season - -much better
UMmm if UK is so good then they'll have to play KU at some point. LOL I see it raining KU 3's in the forecast. You know I'm a weather man right? LOL
West virginia state championship game just began. MAJOR RANT NOW. How on God's green earth does the NCAA punish the state of WV by making the people of that fine state to have to start watching a game at 10PM? I'm really pretty ticked off about this, and it doesn't effect me at all, but they've got all day Sunday to get these games in. What would have been wrong with playing at 12PM? There was only 1 game going then. This organization keeps doing stupider and stupider things all the time. OK, rant over.
What channel is the WV game on? Need some more Big 12 love
OHH a Kstate dagger.
OHH a KSU Dagger
To add to my rant. They force two big 12 teams to play during times a lot of americans will not be watching our league play.
UMBC playing their hearts out. They just ran into a juggernaut. LOL Puuuuuuuuuuuke
Marshall came to hoop.
Go Big 12 ;)
WVirg's press doesn't have 1/10th the energy they use when they play us. There's no reason to even press the way they are playing.
Well that Cinderella run was fun. (ACC LOl LOL) Kstate had no choice but bring it to an end. Hey they play in the Big 12. The Big 12 is ruthless.
So itās KSU vs UK next weekend, two of the most arrogant fan bases, should plenty of crying.
Now it's your turn WV.
kjayhawks said:

Hillbilly brawl.
Imagine KSU was in a lesser conference and didn't get to play KU much. Imagine their team was mostly KS kids that wish they got an offer from KU. That's essentially the Marshall/WVU relationship. This is beyond superbowl for Marshall.

Has Konate ever committed a foul that he didn't bitch about?
Konate runs like a speedwalker walks... All exaggerated movements.
Wichita state lost to this teamš¤£
Konate is a thug, he should average a T a game minimum.
WV representing the Big 12 very nicely.

Tell us how you really feel. LOL
Florida State would seem to be back in this down just 4 to Xavier. But the overrated ACC can't handle the massive talent disparity against a Big East school down the stretch as we all know.

I've seen enough of Xavier the last couple of years to really not like them at all. Go 'Noles, even if you are ACC.

I was wondering if there was a brick factory in Marshall. As these kids throw up a lot of them. LOL
Wowwowow what a garbage possession by Xavier. Way to sit on that last timeout Chris Mack.
Both basketball teams in the city of Cincinnati have blown double digit leads today in games. I'm going to risk posting this now.
Oh I meant Florida State has no chance in their next game against Gonzaga. I didn't say that Xavier had more talent, the Big East doesn't have any talent. Who would say that and I didn't say that.
So another #1 seed goes down. LOL
Hamsterdam really works!
Another ONE bites the dust!
Madness!
Xavier - - -GONE - rthis tourney is so screwed up. - All I know is KU and others top seeded teams best be on their guard - -this is ONE CRAZY TOURNEY. - TWO # 1's and a # 2 is OUT today
The upsets this year are insane! Ether a team comes back from 20 down or wins by 20.

I would WV say has this in the bag but after 2 huge come backs, I aināt count the chickens til they hatch.

Man, the other half of the bracket is messed up! We are on the tough side, but you never know...
Canāt remember a tournament with so many upsets. Parity has come to college BBall and now any team has a chance to advance although only a dozen or so have a realistic chance to make it to the Final Four.
Replays are ruining the game and getting out of hand. While I did not watch the specific game, I understand that the las minute if the Wichita State game took over 18 minutes and the refs still managed to screw it up and got a call wrong...6 minute delays are momentum killers.
@JayHawkFanToo :100: these reviews to figure out the number of milliseconds a team should get back are brutal, especially when it ends up giving the team down a free unofficial timeout.
I think in that case, the team that would benefit from a call being overturned should be able to opt out of the review and leave the call as it stands.
