2024 NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME THREAD (THURSDAY)
- Thread starter TOMCATS1990
- Start date
What I've seen today has been much more physical than regular season SEC games.
Yes, but without the calls that the SEC refs like to make us endure.
Upsets will be tonight Zags go down Kansas too, I also think a 2 goes down Tenn or Iowa St. 3 double digit seeds looking to advance Nevada Oregon and Duquesne
Imagine having the bigs of Oregon who DUNK THE BALL instead of standing there double-pumping before kicking it out, or getting blocked on a layup.
It's not like teams that don't upset other teams means another upset has to happen. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
The upsets are coming, just be patient. And it won't be Oakland beating Kentucky.
The best teams in the SEC are UT, auburn, Bama and UK n some order. My expectations beyond those teams were low. Florida maybe can make the sweet 16 but idk after the injury to their guy.
Two 11s have won and a 10 may win. That's not bad for the first half of the first day.
Too much money being bet on Kansas to lose tonight.
Likely means they escape for one game.
I wouldn’t really classify Oregon over scar as an upset. Oregon is clearly better, Dayton was extremely overrated. Duquesne winning is a upset
Anyone with a brain cell didn't.
Pope is a great guy. Loved his time at UK. Least that's what he told me. He is a solid coach for a team like BYU who hasn't had much success in history. I'd say it's his dream job.
He may get the KY game there’s 4 games at each site, Morehead played in Pittsburg so it’s going to be refs from Mich St Miss St or Morehead St Illinois or a combination to officiate our game tonight
This! Duquesne was really the only upset and it's not a huge one.
Oregon has what we didn’t against So. Carolina: a big who looked to score and neutralized SC’s inside game.
Why would anyone base their decision on Mark Pope on one game one way or the other? lol
These "I told you so" posts are strange.
If you wanted Pope beforehand, this one game shouldn't change your opinion.
If you didn't want Pope before this game, likewise.

South Carolina loss is a definite upset. Also, Miss State lost to a lower seeded team, 8 lost to a 9. Maybe not so much an upset Miss State was just terrible.
Yeah, I'm just basing it on seeds. We are probably gonna have 4 lower seeds win the first 8 games.
I just wish the UK fans would stop trashing Pope. I know from first hand experience he is a fantastic guy and absolutely loved playing for UK. He is obviously coaching where he wants to be. He will never be considered for the UK job. I think he knows this and I think he is fine with that.
The SEC is garbage. State was the only team that gave Auburn any kind of game last weekend, and South Carolina beat us worse than anyone all season.
Oregon looks like they could beat UConn. How did they lose so many?

I dont really consider 10s and 11s as upsets.
Quite a bit of times those teams are even actually favored in these games lol

3 double digit seeds and 4 likely to advance in the first 8 games. Just not name brand schools getting beat yet.
IMO it's not. They are overseeded. Haven't been playing well at all for over a month outside of a couple games.
Altman I think is retiring from coaching as well.
I'm about to bet the house on TAM shitting their pants this game. I don't trust these SEC teams at all.
Kentucky is either gonna come out and play extremely loose and or they are gonna see cal get nervous as hell on the sidelines and him start to yell & freak out and Kentucky starts to play nervous
Again I think they purposely Miss seed some teams. SC perfect example. So they can say March Madness where upsets happen. Makes for good TV.
Gohlke might not be too smart with this quote:
“They’ve got the best three-point percentage in the country. We think we shoot it better than they do, but they’re going to light it up if we don’t guard the three-point line. We’ve just got to go out there and force tough twos."
Well, genius, if we have the best percentage from three in the US, you don't shoot it better than we do. In fact, you're barely in the top 100 in three point shooting (#94) at 35.5%.
And they aren't going to make our guys who mostly have many inches in height beyond their players take "tough twos".
