23/24 College Basketball

I've never really thought about it until right now, but in general I'd say the NBA review process on fouls (and overall) has generally been working. I at least have not noticed myself having a clear beef with it. It's also better in that the people in NY are already looking at it before the on court people talk to them, goes way quicker than this where every out of bounds demands a review. Then they have to walk over, get the headset, turn the screens then look themselves.

Ncaa officiating :

Let's take ten mins to review every hook n hold and give out flagrants even if it doesn't affect the play.
Let's take another ten mins to review a guy getting touched on the head and throw around flagrants.
Under two mins, let's review every goddamn out of bounce play even tho it's clear who it was out on. But let's take ten more mins to do that.


Under two mins, ncaa tourney game on the line, clear block but ref blew the call... Ncaa, nah we don't review this, we trust our cheating ass refs

Ncaa is a **** joke

After watching a ton of games yesterday and already today, this bothers me so much

[MikeIsGood]

I don't want to **** on MU in their thread, so cross-posting here.

Like shaka as a coach but he's won only one ncaa tourney game since 2012-2013 and that was last year. Wild.

Holy ****

My wife and a bunch if friends went to MU. I have them winning it all in about half of my brackets because I wanted at least something out of it if that happened. Still a whole half to go yet, and WKU won't keep shooting 50%+ from 3.

I grew up in the suburbs of Milwaukee and I know only a handful of Marquette grads. I know more fans of Marquette that were Milwaukee-area ex-pats that went to Minnesota and picked (back) up Marquette as a competent rival to Wisconsin.

My grandpa was an alum of Marquette, so growing up I was pretty split on fandom...once going to UW it became hard to cheer for both even though it's really completely fine...I have no disdain towards any coach, player, etc. at this point and enjoy watching them play, but it's hard to fully pull for them in the tournament because of the rivalry and I'm passively petty about it.

They stopped the Marquette game to review a clear three point shot when Marquette is up 20 with 1 min left. Like wtf

[emunney]

I for one am happy one of the two Milwaukee D1 schools didn't lose in embarrassing fashion.

In one of the games yesterady, the game ended on a missed shot, teams are shaking hands, and they go to a review to put .2 seconds on the clock when a comeback is impossible. Time for common sense officiating.

Guys...

One word: Gambling.

[MikeIsGood]

Florida/Colorado ending was bananas. And Auburn is down with 9 seconds to go.

[midranger]

Sec sec sec

[MikeIsGood]

Haven't fact checked but this feels like a lot of double-digit seed upsets so far.

[DingleJerry]

Sec sec sec

It just means more.

[Mtsportsfan]

Some really good games today , really wore out the remote! Quite a few upsets! Love tournament time!

[AntetokounmBros]

I always play it too safe with my brackets, so I decided that this is my year. The year to take a risk and be bold. The year where I choose an underdog to win it all. I chose Auburn.

[MikeIsGood]

My bracket's a **** mess at this point for the first weekend, but I'm hanging onto having 14/16 S16 and everyone beyond that. My possible points are higher than most in my brackets...even though I'm almost last currently. Not sure I could have picked my first weekend upsets any more incorrectly

[MVP2110]

So in the 1st round we had three 11 seeds, two 12 seeds, a 13 seed, & a 14 seed pull upsets. This is why the tourney is awesome(but also why you shouldn't judge teams based on one game, weird crap happens)

[RiotPunch]

Weird crap and getting your ass **** kicked is different.

[MVP2110]

Weird crap and getting your ass **** kicked is different.

St. Mary's lost by 9
Wisconsin lost by 11
Texas Tech lost by 13
South Carolina lost by 14.

This is a normal thing that happens in the tournament
