2013 NCAA Tournament Thread

Well all of the teams I wanted to see advance lost (Michigan St & Kansas). A lot of late first prospects left and Burke and MCW.

I'm hoping for Syracuse-Michigan for Burke v. MCW & Ohio State-Louisville.
A Michigan-Ohio State championship would be neat I suppose.

I'm hoping Marquette nips Syracuse and gets to the Final Four. I also want to see Louisville, Ohio St., and Michigan win in the next round.

Okay I dont normally watch college ball but why is it so difficult for teams to score the ball? And such low scoring numbers at the end of the game. Is it because the shot clock is 35 seconds which I did not know. Someone clarify.

If you're referring to the Syracuse game, mostly because neither team plays up tempo. Syracuse has stifling zone defense that slows the game down greatly, and they just abused Marquette on the defensive end.

They play eight minutes less than a NBA game, a longer shot clock, and players are not as good. All those factor in low scoring games.

Stauskas is an unbelievable shooter, Michigan are a very good team. Still got money on Louisville though!

My god Kevin Ware injury was gruesome. Don't want to see that replay ever again.

^ Poor guy. Hopefully he'll recover fully.

I thought Duke would put up more of a fight, but they're getting outhustled, outshot, and outpaced. Maybe Coach K has some magic, but if he does, he should bring it RIGHT NOW.

Very nice of you, but that's actually not as bad as watching it happening in motion.

I would disagree. In live motion, you see him fall and he obviously hurts his leg badly, but you're not actually seeing the broken bone.

Alright guys. Fixed the injury link so that we don't have to see it unless we click everytime we enter this thread. Who do you guys think is going to win the two games Saturday?

I'm hoping for Wichita State & Michigan

Post #117 » by **Jake0890** » Thu Apr 4, 2013 3:48 pm

Louisville and Syracuse.

Post #118 » by **Jake0890** » Sun Apr 7, 2013 1:11 am

Wichita St. really blew that game at the end with the turnovers.

I've found it increasingly hard to watch college basketball. The tournament is exhilirating, for sure, but college basketball has gotten so ugly. The 35 second shot clock and all the uncalled fouls on the perimeter has just slowed the game to a crawl.

That's your reaction after those two great games?^
