Opening night thread

[Lempface]

I don't think I've EVER seen a team have 7 fouls 6 minutes in to BOTH halves. Insane.

 

[Lempface]

I just can't take 2 straight hours of listening to Avery Johnson's voice. Its very grating.

I like the guy, but he's the Beth Mowins of basketball.

Yea. Seems like a great dude. I keep finding myself grabbing the remote to hit mute though.

With 12 and 1/2 minutes to go, their next foul puts A&M CC in the double bonus.

Rather him vs Dukie V.

What's with all the young guys with the sideshow Bob look?

 

[UKWildcats1987]

You guys watching the 16 seeds are hard-core. I may watch a little of later game due to MSU playing but usually I couldn't care less about these crap Dayton games.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

SEMO would be Cals favorite team. Athletic and couldn't make a free throw to save their life.

I just like to watch them to see if I can guess whether or not they can hang with a 1 for a 20-25 minutes. These 2 look like theyll lose by 30+. Maybe even 40 to Bama.

Something Avery Johnson said that I disagree with is that the corner three is the easiest three I always preferred looking at the backboard versus the side of the backboard. I was fine in the corner but not as good as I was on the wing. And I would probably prefer top of the key to anywhere.

Yep, not seeing it with either of these teams. Maybe if Miller breaks his leg 1 minute in.

Corner is a much harder shot for me, I was always best on the wing.

3-12 FTA 😆

 

[crawfords corner]

Now its 4-14 FTA

Make half the misses and youre up 3

 

[the nail at the foul line]

SEMO loses only one thing to blame.

 

[ukjenning44]

Great opening game so far

You gotta go large. That under looked like a gimme.

 

[fabcat]

Corner is considered the easiest and best shot from 3. Loved it myself. It’s not just Avery that thinks that it’s pretty common knowledge. Coaches absolutely hate giving up the corner 3

 

[Bluegrass79]

Next point wins my bet. If the point guard Jackson gets one more rebound I win $100 also. Come on overtime

 

[Bluegrass79]

WINNER!!l lets go!!!🤌

 

[Fox2monk]

March games starting out crazy! This is gonna be one wild tournament.

 

[Lempface]

Was a fun first game, but I never felt like SEMO was going to win.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Free throws cost them. I would have found a different shooter there.

 

[ukjenning44]

Gotta make FT’s to win in March

 

[Fox2monk]

Ball game. That 3 looked good but a little short.

 

[gbl97]

What do you guys think of the decision to go for the quick 2 when down 3 with 12 seconds left (vs. holding for the last shot)?

 

[Fox2monk]

Congrats you win, now you get to play Alabama…

 

[the nail at the foul line]

One of the better first four games I've ever seen. Between 16 seeds anyway.

I like that. Especially since they had A&M CC trapped in the corner. Had that ref let that call go.

 

[Bluegrass79]

Hey this team won me $100 tonight and damn near won me 200 had he got another rebound

 

[Bkocats]

I cannot stand Rachel Madcow.

Me either

Yale vs. Vandy. Who ya got?

Smart guys.

 

[gbl97]

Smart guys.

This ain't no spelling bee!
(That's after the game, before they play chess.)

 

[crawfords corner]

Free throws. SEMO lost mainly because of free throws.

Where ur receipts? Lol

 

[mcwildcats04]

Rooting for MSU in this second one. SEC! SEC!

 

[Bluegrass79]

I got $32 on Mississippi State -1
I got five bucks first shot of the game going in

I got five bucks on Mississippi State making it to 20 1st.
Come on State
