2024 NCAA Tournament - First Round Games
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
Newman 0 for today. Aways liked him but he just couldn’t develop any consistency. Apparently had same problem at WK.
Been watching WKU and just remembered Newman plays for them. Didn't remember hearing anything and just checked the box score and realize why. 0-8 from the floor. Woof!
This second half version of Marquette could buck the expert picks, especially with Kentucky headed back to Lexington. Kolek, Jones, and Mitchell have been terrific.
What UConn is doing to Stetson, that’s what I want to see Purdue do to Grambling. It’s Cobra Kai time…NO MERCY!
Yep - only thing left is........Sweep the Leg!
They should make Chuck leave the studio when discussing Auburn. Wow, is he bad.
I'm not impressed with the officiating so far. Samford got utterly robbed at the most crucial time. They would have been down 1 with the ball on the run 5 on 4. That was a gift to Kansas
New Mexico got obliterated by bad calls. Every call went in the favor of Clemson. Superbly physical game where Clemson pummeled New Mexico with no call, then New Mexico broke wind and gets called for an offensive foul and turnover.
Lots of double digit seeds fighting hard. A few upsets (not as many as last year) but a ton of comebacks where a team came back from 20+ down and either made a game out of it or won altogether
The disparity is not as wide as it used to be.
#14 Oakland took out Kentucky
#15 Western KY ran with Marquette until the very end
#10 Colorado currently up 10 over Florida
#13 Yale tied with under 3 minutes left
#12 UAB almost clipped #5 SD State
#11 Oregon upset
#11 Duquesne upset
#11 NC State upset
#10 Drake so close, but not quite
#10 Nevada so close but not quite
#9 Northwestern OT upset
Anything can happen in March

Yale up 1 with the ball. 1 minutes left double bonus for Yale, fouls to give against Auburn still.
I might have to "loan" Barkley some of my oxygen....haha. Wow. Yale up 73-72, just over a minute left.
Yale doing everything wrong in the last 15 seconds. That's why you don't foul up four.....alternating possession almost did them in.
However, Yale survives after Auburn misses two FT's to tie and then two scramble shots......crazy!
SEC - Kentucky, Auburn, South Carolina, Florida, and Mississippi State all knocked out in first round haymakers.

Auburn just like KY had every chance to win and blundered it.
The SEC is having a tournament reminiscent of the Big Ten’s tournament last year.
Athleticism apparently isn’t everything.

that's for sure, that Paulokidas kid made some awesome shots for Yale.
Simpson got away w/ a pushoff on the last shot and Fla' s last shot was really close
The Yale and Colorado wins were Maddening. March Madness at its best. #10 and #13 move on. And yes... I called them both in my bracket. (I failed to call many others though)
Cornhuskers better tighten it up big time.....after an early lead, they're down 16 (58-42) to Texas A & M with under a minute to go first half. Ouch.
Gave up 58 points in the first half and never really recovered. A & M/Houston could be a good one......old Southwest Conference foes ready for battle.
My gut is telling me we play TCU and they are the worse matchup. I think Mountain West was severely overrated
Bucky digging a hole now - 33 - 16, under a minute, first half. James Madison on a 12-0 run. 9 steals for JMU....ouch.
they got their Rutgers offense going for them but Wahl was gifted 2 FY's right before the half
They also had 13 first half turnovers - average less than 10 a game.....that's the big difference and missing a bunch of close range (but contested) shots, from what I saw when I switched over.
Looks like James Madison will end Wisconsin's season......some symmetry since they opened the season beating Michigan State in East Lansing.
