Day 2 (Friday) of NCAA MBB Tournament Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
After yesterday, I can see why we were more successful than I thought we would be this year. The Big Ten sucks. Maybe they can redeem themselves today, but I doubt it. As you say, Loyola will absolutely crush Ohio State.
We can only hope. I'm perfectly content with the rest of the BIG getting run over.
Baylor, Providence, Houston, Tennessee, Auburn, and Arizona - still sticking with these guys, at least one will get to the big game.
But In round 1, its more fun to pick which overwhelming favorite will lose. Although it pains me, I'll go with the mercurial #6 Alabama (all world talent, mind numbing losses this year) to lose to the #11 Irish. Bonus pick #11 Votech over another mercurial team in #6 Texas.

Yale 33-46 Purdue at halftime. The Williams-Edy tandem is, wow, overwhelming. Edy is no stiff; he moves well and hits his free throws. Williams is really fundamentally sound too, a terrific passer.
With the disparity in professional level talent, depth and size it should have never gotten to that point. St. Peter’s proved that a fundamentally mature team has a chance to beat a very young star studded team.
Two overtimes two nights ago in Dayton and then they beat Alabama by double digits in San Diego.
This is a strange ND team ... they have beaten or played well against some good teams, but then fall flat against teams they should have beaten easily.
IMHO, ND plays terrible defense. But Alabama wasted a lot of possessions and they were playing shorthanded after that kid got hurt.
But… the shots were falling and we‘ll take it.
