2024 NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME THREAD (THURSDAY)

[the nail at the foul line]

Dwight Schrute has gotten younger.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Gotta think BYU gets it together here soon.

 

[Roe07]

Picked Miss State to get to the Sweet 16 and they're looking like dogs**t right now.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Anyone think Morehead always love that can beat Illinois

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Box out

Not joking. If I’m coaching any crappy sec team, I’m having a hypnotist come in before my ncaa tournament game and tell them “today is actually a random Tuesday at 9 pm in March, and you’re in Starkville. Uk is coming to town. The place is packed with students who usually only go to home football games but are packing this place with uk in town… now go play out of your minds. Hit step back 3s from the logo. Hit crazy reverse layups. Thrown down monster alley oops.”

 

[UKDC80]

Come on Pope! Get them
Going.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

BYU getting worked over early.

 

[CatEye2010]

Duqesny going for the skunk. Oops, Fighting Popes slipped one in.

 

[Lempface]

Miss St not playing UK so they aren't making their open shots. Typical.

But non UK teams will probably contest their shots and get rebounds.

It means less against the Big 10

 

[Lempface]

It means less against the Big 10

Maybe it should since Mich St has a 10-1 record against SEC in the NCAAT...

 

[FilsonCat]

MSU is still within striking distance. This is an 8 point ballgame that seems like they should be down by 20. Hopefully they get it going in the second half.

 

[Boyd94]

Man Duquesne is out for blood and the officials are letting them.

 

[UKDC80]

I cannot believe how physical these refs are letting both games be. Duquesne and BYU is an mma match

 

[sammysdad05]

I guess you’re not watching. Miss state missing lots of open shots. Also don’t pretend that they wouldn’t be draining them against us with a hand in their face.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Giving up the last two... Lock down.

And we don't even play defense and the other team shoots a lot of free throws.

 

[Smashcat]

Anyone think Morehead always love that can beat Illinois

Not counting on it but UI always finds a way to go out early.

 

[Lempface]

NCAAT game always seem to be slugfest rock fights. Not sure if it's the nerves or what, but typically they are not fluid flowing games that showcase quality shooting ability.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

We know what that means for UK then.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

BYU will win.

 

[ukjenning44]

You never want to play IZZO in the NCAAT. Before the FF anyway. They always get smoked in it lol

 

[IowaMuse]

Everyone talks about officiating negatively influencing Big 10 teams come tourney time. Couldn’t it work the opposite? Letting them play means more aggressive D and a more open offense. Allowing teams like MSU who do have some offensive and defensive talent to get more momemtum

 

[kennyskywalker34]

BYU will win.

I think so to. But you never know. 1 seeds aren't even immune from being beat anymore.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Come on BYU

 

[Noahtogo24]

BYU getting out physical right now.

 

[katwest]

Picked Miss State to get to the Sweet 16 and they're looking like dogs**t right now.

This is what happens a lot of the time when SEC teams that we think are pretty good get in the NCAA's and look like shit. They can still win this game, but they haven't played like they do against us yet, typical.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

I think a 2 seed gets beat either today or tomorrow. Which one? I have no idea.

 

[Cantblockme]

I wish we could get the whistle that Michigan State gets. Those dudes get away with everything.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Iowa St I picked and BYU has the lead

 

[Noahtogo24]

BYU retakes the lead.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

BYU is beginning to out-talent.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

50 on BYU. Seriously.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Iowa St I picked and BYU has the lead

I have Iowa State winning the ship in one of my brackets.

 

[Klix]

50 on BYU. Seriously.

Haha that was hilariously bad

 

[Noahtogo24]

50 on BYU. Seriously.

The guy who got his shot blocked? Like WTF

 

[kennyskywalker34]

50 on BYU. Seriously.

He moves like he is 50

 

[the nail at the foul line]

He moves like he is 50

I'm older than that and I move much better than he does.
