2019 NCAA Tournament Thread

Auburn putting on a show early on!

Why would anyone in their right mind bet on Kansas?

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Auburn's sure not afraid to shoot the 3

 

[patebuff]

Auburn is the hottest team right now

Same can be said for Purdue who just obliterated the defending champions.

 

[Alfred91]

Never gets old watching KU get beat.

 

[Duff Man]

This is fun to watch!

 

[Alfred91]

Auburn hasn't scored much in the past 7 minutes.

 

[Heywood]

I always dream of the most embarrassing way for Kansas to bow out of the tourney. Never in my wildest dreams did I envision this!

[Alfred91]

KU scored 49 points in the 2nd half.
Auburn only scored 11 points in the last 11 minutes.

Crazy, given those numbers, that Auburn still won easily.

I was ready to turn this game off, but Iowa did what they needed to do in the opening segment of the 2nd half to get Tennessee back within reasonable range for a comeback the final 16 minutes. 14 point game.

 

[Buffnik]

Down to a 5 point game with 8 minutes left.

 

[Buffnik]

1 point game at the 4 minute timeout. This is fun.

 

[CarolinaBuff]

What the hell was Tennessee doing on that previous possession when they were up 2, they shot way too early

 

[Buffnik]

Free basketball.

What a comeback by Iowa to force OT.

 

[BuffLuke80]

Wow, Tennessee was up big weren't they? Heard some on the radio heading back, but not much.

 

[Buffnik]

Rick Barnes has a lot of explaining to do for not having Admiral Schofield on the court for the final shot. It was his clutch shooting that won the opener for them at the end of the game.

Up 25 at one point in the first half, 21-point lead at the half

ncaa has one game on. It went from awful to amazing. It’s too bad the ncaa doesn’t want gamblers watching.

This is the same guy that could only win one tournament game with Kevin Durant.

Anybody know the deal with so many teams wearing shirts saying "family"? Is this just a Nike marketing campaign (i think all the teams I've noted are Nike schools, but may be wrong).

Tennessee plays elite defense at times. Impressive bounce back in OT to win that game.

The weekend schedule became garbage a few years ago and I think it had to do with the CBS deal with TNT, TBS, and TruTV. For the first 6 hours both yesterday and today there is only 1 game going on then the rest of the games are in the evening. That's tolerable on Saturday but it really sucks on Sunday.

 

[Alfred91]

It would have absolutely murdered my bracket if Iowa won, but it would have been worth it.

 

[Alfred91]

I'm pretty sure this has already been addressed, but Coby White from UNC has quite the Crabman look going on.

 

[BuffLuke80]

North Carolina is handling UDub, especially inside.

Aside from the obvious talent advantage this was not a good matchup for UW anyway given the rebounding disparity.

 

[Tatanka™]

These "special contributor Phil" segments are the least funny things I've ever seen.

 

[Medford M.]

Aside from the obvious talent advantage this was not a good matchup for UW anyway given the rebouninding disparity.

In addition to the fact that UNC shoots well from 3, which is a zone killer.
