Tournament starts in earnest today, so I thought I'd start a thread.

Any Cinderellas this year?

Is Kentucky unstoppable?

Iowa State will make the Final 4. Curious to see how Grant from Notre Dame does. I want the Bulls to draft him badly.

I want Kris Dunn. He might be available, Grant wont be unless we move up at draft.

I wish Demetrius Jackson was slightly taller/larger wingspan. He'd be a nice prospect.

Iowa State is struggling a bit here, with NIang in foul trouble. I expect them to come out swinging in the second half. Otherwise we can't hire Hoiberg

3 of the First 4 games came down to the wire, including the Dayton/Boise State one coming down to a final shot too. Great start to the tourny. I had Notre Dame going down, can't believe Northeastern didn't even get a shot off. :nonono:

Man, with the way everyone talks about Hoiberg around here, I had them going pretty far in the tourney.

Hoiberg drew up a pretty decent play there, got a great look but just missed. Still though, losing to a #14 seed in the 1st round is never a good look.

Well Iowa St is out

MC3 · Post #15 » by **MC3** » Thu Mar 19, 2015 6:45 pm

They did have great shots all over whole game. They just missed shots constantnly. Open shots.

There's always a big conference tourney winner that loses early in the big dance. It never fails. Too bad I had Notre Dame going down instead of Iowa State. :-?

I would. I can tell offense under Hoiberg is great. I didnt see one time where players stand around doing nothing and someone going ISO. And defense wasnt bad for coach who "can't coach defense".

You know Tom is having a laugh right now. Let's be real.

So how did they lose to a #14 seed then? :lol:
