NFT: 2023 NCCA Men's basketball torunament

Route 9 : 3/16/2023 1:02 pm
About a week ago I wasn't a fan but I won .86 cents betting on Kansas or someone. I currently have West Virginia vs Maryland on my television set. What do you think will win this whole thing?

Hahaha, love watching UVA lose. What a dumb throw
No idea what that VA player was doing  
UConn4523 : 3/16/2023 2:51 pm : link
one of the dumbest decisions I’ve seen in quite some time.

with the ultimate brain fart that just cost his team the game. Take the TO and reset.
FURMAN! TERPS!

one of the upset picks!
Greg told me

Furman could not handle with the larger Virginia line-up
FFS

I mean I like Greg's Hoos losing, but FFS, my bracket is already busted
As I said the other day  
Costy16 : 3/16/2023 2:53 pm : link
Furman beating UVA would not be a big shock. Glad I picked Furman.
TERPS!

Told me the same thing. Virginia's style of play makes it easy for other teams, especially ones they should beat, to stay in games with them. I know Tony Bennett puts together very good regular seasons, but UVA has really laid some absolute clunkers in opening NCAAT games.
This  
AcidTest : 3/16/2023 2:56 pm : link
is a bad look for Bennett of UVA. Aside from his NCAA Championship, his teams have been major chokers in the tournament. Lost a huge lead to Syracuse one year, first one (overall one IIRC) to lose to a sixteen, and now today, when they were also up 12 at one point in the second half. They were also very sloppy with the ball and shot poorly.
Wow  
Gogiantsgo : 3/16/2023 2:57 pm : link
To lose like UVA just lost...

Absolutely gave the game away. Must be so painful for the players.

I thought WVU was going to bully them off the court like in the Turgeon days. Give the kids and Willard credit.
Now I hope Charleston

Takes out SDSU, I have a Charleston/Furman matchup on Saturday with Charleston advancing.

Yeah Hump that was one of the crazier games I've ever seen with the extreme runs. I mean we score 4 points and only even attempt 7 shots the first 10 minutes then somehow lead at the half, go up 7 then WV scores 16 points 5 straight trips which I've never seen before to go from down 7 to up 9 in about 2 minutes. Give Reese and 2 of the seniors- Hart and Scott a lot of credit because they took over. They pressured the crap out of Young and he has no idea how to deal with it. Great win. Williard can coach.

In particular, an individual player going three straight trips up the floor and scoring and-1s (including a 4-point play). I thought the meltdown had begun for sure.

Incredible mental toughness from this team to stay with it and fight back.

To answer your question, I'm thinking it's Bama or Houston that takes it all. Still, this year seems like anyone can beat anyone at any time so nothing will surprise me... lol

I had no idea Alabama had a good basketball team. The rich get richer? They ever win the whole thing in ... Basketball?
I just saw the ending of Virginia-Furman  
dpinzow : 3/16/2023 4:27 pm : link
That long 3 to win it was a bit like Bryce Drew and Valparaiso all those years ago.

If I'm Virginia I'm wondering where the foul call was on that last turnover. It looked like the Virginia guard got hacked

Ha yeah. I normally would never pick two of the true top seeds but they both seem like the strongest teams to me this year. Of course I'm rooting for my Friars. lol

Only time I bet on this tournament or filled out a bracket let alone, was 2005. I picked the runner up, Illinois just because everyone picked UNC. Either way, my plan didn't work. The winner of the bracket was our valedictorian of high school.
Gotta respect the Princeton shorts.

Princeton upsets Arizona  
dpinzow : 3/16/2023 6:19 pm : link
Arizona played scared down the stretch. They scored 6 (SIX) points in the last 11 minutes
Princeton!  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 3/16/2023 6:20 pm : link
Why I faded Arizona. The guards aren't dudes, they play zero defense and I'm not sure Lloyd is a top-tier coach.
Princeton beats AZ, and RU loses to Hofstra in the NIT

UConn-Iona first half

was the best half of basketball in the tournament so far. 39-37 Iona at halftime and there is a ridiculous amount of energy in the crowd both ways
