ND vs WVU

my bad

Nova v. Wisconsin is going to be really interesting.

one of our patented shooting slumps, it's over, but I low key think we could be a pretty good matchup, with two strong low post scorers.

To force WV into tougher shots. Half court offense is supposed to be WV's weakness but they're taking ND apart inside.

Free throw shooting could keep it interesting but ND has not been impressive in the least.

Bucknell came back against WVU to make it a game. Maybe the team with impeccable academic standards and playing by the rules can do it too.

Or is that repetitive since I already mentioned Bucknell?

If they don't drain these open looks when they get them

Mookie -- you gotta make a call to the bench here and straighten these ND guys out

But I had them going to the final 4, looking like I should have listened to my initial gut feeling

I had them going to the Final Four too. Not looking good right now.

but they look like they are going to be a damn tough out

..

since ND made a Final Four. Brutal.

Cruzin can go join B at the kiddie table now... or whatever the fuck Rocky was talking about the past 2 days.

Where did Rocky go?

whatever he's drinkin today -- he had ND winning it all in the BBI tournament Bracket Pool -- I hope he didn't have money on this

.

Wisconsin scares the crap out of me. They are better than what an 8 seed should be.

Awww. Boo hoo. What that 40 year streak got to do with Cuse? Nothing.

Don't be a sore loser. Sorry your team lost man.

dangerous game developing

and Duke are, it is pretty damn satisfying to see my alma mater put up a better fight against WVU than a second-tier ACC team.

And Bucknell does it without giving out athletic scholarships.

their shooting % has to be below 25% -- down by 4 at the half

Wisconsin is playing like they belong - they look must more at ease out there

I enjoyed watching them foul over and over again.

Nobody is playing well for Nova right now other than Hart and DiVincenzo. Jenkins has been off since just before the Virginia game and based on his play today, that worm is not going to turn anytime soon. We're down 4. Could have been 10. The concern level is high right now.

Yup, tanked.

43 - 40

Build a lead. Their best big guys are on the bench.

...if they continue to let them foul on almost every possesion. It is a great strategy used by a lot of the really good pressing teams (Louisville, VCU, etc), not to mention a lot of the good high school teams in the NYC CHSAA. It allows you to get away with about half of the fouls you commmit, because they can't/won't call everything.

that this is one of the worst games we've seen Brey coach in a long time?

It was painfully obvious that Beechum had ZERO confidence in his shot and his being on the floor was hurting the team. WVU was leaving him wide open on purpose just begging him to shoot.

Gibbs clearly could not handle the press. Not sure what the problem was ... maybe just a freshman being nervous, but he clearly couldn't get it done and had about 5 turnovers (and that stupid technical that killed all our momentum).

Matt Ryan was playing a good, hard game and he is a pretty deadly shooter when he gets wide open looks. I can't for the life of me understand why Brey wouldn't put him in for Beech in the 2nd half.

Uh oh.

To a nail biter

.

Should have been one

Game.

Come on Wisconsin

20.6 secs - Wisconsin with the ball

.

.

11 secs left 64-62 Wisconsin

That may be the game - 3.4 secs

.

they will be furious with the refs after Hayes got away with an intentional foul

boom goes dynamite!

That's gotta feel good. Enjoy.

And Villanova shits the bed. Another 2nd round loss.

good job Wisco!

Lots of brackets are now wrecked
