Kentucky goes over the back and Oakland gets a foul
Go Oakland!
@approxinfinity Any pick for us is a good one!
Oh boy, can I edit my Colorado St/Texas pick? Is Colorado St one of them Mountain West teams that everyone has cried about being underseeded like 17 point lead blowing Nevada?
@Texas-Hawk-10 I 'needed' that comeback.
@jayballer67 I was being sarcastic. I just don't like the expansion.
@FarmerJayhawk Much to my regret as i was picking SC for an elite 8 run!
BYU aint part of our league yet, they're a probationary member.
My bracket is perfect so far!
Does anyone think that since Duquenses nickname is the Dukes that the refs think they're supposed to favor them? They've benefitted from some really bad calls during this 2nd half. Makes me nervous for Wisconsin against the James Madison Dukes tomorrow night too.
Almost have to watch the BYU game with the sound off. Deb Antonelli is so bad
Long Beach St and coach Dan Monson playing. I love the story of him getting fired and asked if he could coach the conference tournament and then won the thing so they're now playing....and beating....Arizona!
@benshawks08 But I have to go to a conference tomorrow, so should be able to keep a game on my phone going!
Parent teacher conferences last night and this morning means early dismissal and no school on the best day of the year to not have to go to work!
Comment on todays games here!!
@Texas-Hawk-10 You inspired me to do a theme bracket so I did scenic place bracket, Colorado winning it all over Colgate. New England vs. Rocky Mts is a tough choice for me, but the Mts won it.
@Texas-Hawk-10 And I'm sure you had a Tiger beating a Boilermaker which is very logical for a Purdue team to lose in the first round.
@FarmerJayhawk Take a few minutes to read? Did you mistype and mean a few hours?!! I'm not the fastest reader, so it's a little daunting when I see a long form story like that.
@BShark That's my championship too, but I went with Purdue!
I have Purdue over ISU! Purdue finally figures out how to break the opening curse and likeable guy Matt Painter gets it done. BIG finally wins a natty in football and now they'll break the embarrassing drought and win another.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Just curious how you saw Badger v a Duke, and if you have the Dukes then round two if the other Duke wins, then it's the Dukes vs. Duke.
Jayhawks 71 Sams Club 61. Leading scorer Hunter Dickinson 21, Furphy feasts on their small size and gets hot from outside (I don't really believe that), DaJuan feeds the giant in the lane on the way to a double double and we randomly get upset with the rest of the team.
@bskeet Here's a snippet I just read. 27. Tyon Grant-Foster, F, Grand Canyon
Grant-Foster is one of the most inspiring stories in college basketball this season. His career began at Kansas as a bench role player before he transferred to DePaul. At halftime of his first game with the Blue Demons, he collapsed in the locker room and had to have his heart shocked back into rhythm. He’s since had a heart surgery and defibrillator implanted in his chest. Medically cleared to return to the court, he signed with GCU where he’s become the WAC Player of the Year by averaging 19.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game. He’s great at getting to the free throw line (12th in the nation in FTA) and converting his freebies (77% FT).
This was from a SB nation top 50 players in the dance list. Interestingly I was at that DePaul game and never heard about what happened to him until i read that.
Cam Martin sighting for Boise. He just got T-d up for throwing a ball very lightly at a guy who tossed the ball at him very lightly who also got T-d up. Pretty laughable T really unless there was something said.
@focojayhawk I know nothing about them. Is the narrative that they deserved a better seed?
For all you Kevin haters
🐦 View Tweet?s=46
Ya'll going down! (thanks approx!!)
Kevin aint playing it appears.
@DanR I used to run to the store to get the USA today tournament preview paper first thing in the morning. I'd read all through it and make my picks!
@rcjhdraft we’ve got some good history in detroit
Where’s Midwest regional? Indy?
Seeing whom Illinois will choke against this year. ISU gonna be pissed it appears.
Can't watch much more but will get the chat going.
Word on the street up here is Holtmann won't be able to recruit the city well.
@nuleafjhawk You have to look at the other 4-6 seed candidates then and ensure that we'd be fine with them getting that seed and us not. For example If Duke got a 4 seed like they probably would, we'd be up in arms because they crapped the bed pretty bad lately with no real injury excuses like us. So I'm fine with a 4 seed.
You can't seed us too high because if the week and a half rest for Hunter and Kevin does wonders we're suddenly a pretty darn good team and it becomes unfair for the team we'd play in the 2nd round who would 'deserve' to play a significantly worse team. For example lets say they seed us 7th. If we win, then we play presumably the 2nd seed who suddenly is looking at playing KU instead of a team that is barely ranked.
Houston was missing a starter? Precautionary? Or are they really missing him big time?
@Crimsonorblue22 Did you see this one? 🐦 View Tweet?s=20. It was called a foul on Tyler Wahl. CBS which was kissing Purdue tail all day kept saying oh come on now, that should be a no call.
@Crimsonorblue22 No. Since injured back up came back they're 4-1.
@kjayhawks Oh man I don't even wish that on our opponents. It is so frustrating to watch. It's inexplicable that Edey can run into a set Tyler Wahl at the top of the key and flatten him and get the call. That was one of about 10 head scratchers today.
@Crimsonorblue22 They were up to #6 in mid January and 8-1 in BIG. Then they blew a 20 point lead at Nebraska, and lost 8 of 11. A backup guards injury seemed to impact them as the Badgers are thin in that position. He's back now and they're playing better.
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes satisfying win for sure.
@BShark What's bad is it happened yesterday, and last Sunday, and before that.
The Zach Edey protection plan is in full effect now in overtime.
@Crimsonorblue22 He also bloodied the nose of a Badger shooter and didn't get a foul called.
@Crimsonorblue22 He did, but they kept calling crap fouls against Badgers. Zach has mauled two shooters in the 2nd half and not got whistled. He's still at 2 fouls in last minute of the game.
If you watch as much BIG basketball as I do you really understand why Purdue flames out early. Zach gets so many calls by these refs. We get so pissed watching these games when we play them. 15 fouls against UW in the 1st half. 16 times this season UW has committed fewer fouls in a game. People get mad at Edey, it's really not his fault they call it like that.
Danny Manning foregoes the NBA to win a Natty. Drew Gooden passes up a chance to be on an historically great team to go to the NBA.
Haase's injury was gigantic in that loss to Zona. Roy was on a podcast recently talking about it. Without the info superhiway I was unaware of the injury at the time.
Generally conference tournament results don't matter that much.
