2021 NCAA Tourney 1st round game thread- #5 seed Men's bball scheduled to face #12 seed Georgetown (Sat., 3/20, 10:15 AM MT, CBS)

[King_George_XXIV_Rules]

Love it so far, we all knew the Buffs were capable of a half like this. A total 180 from the first half of the last postseason tournament game (NIT vs. Texas). Need to keep it up in the 2nd half and just win the 2nd half. No let downs, no runs by GT. Play to win, not to not-lose.

 

[DBT]

I’ll never relax. We’ve given up too many big leads. But I’ve never seen the Buffs play a better first half. Never, ever.

 

[Ruckus]

That first half was visual COCAINE! Free brain altering drugs, boys. Ride the high, **** the world, **** the Georgetown love fest from the ****s!!

[Johnny Tarr]

Don't let off the gas in the 2nd

 

[Bourbon Buff]

Tad up by 24 and pissed off.

I get the sense he wants this tourney monkey off his back.

 

[BuffinCali]

At least there are stats Tad can use at halftime, they have been outrebounded and have fewer blocked shots.

 

[Hallett Hell]

Time for CBS announcers to eat crow

 

[buff4bcs1985]

Awww Kenny smith looked so sad during that segment hahahaha

 

[4BienemyTDs]

Kin should play the whole second half to make sure no momentum changes happen

 

[DBT]

Halftime show guys are stunned. They had to throw away their planned script of how great Ewing and Georgetown are.

 

[Johnny Tarr]

The CBS announcers seem a bit let down that they can't fellate the Hoyas and Ewing at the half

 

[4BienemyTDs]

Solid D for second half
Keep our fouls down
Hit all Free Throws

We extended the lead while Kee was in the game.

 

[Hallett Hell]

Would like to see Horne and Tristan get going in 2nd half. No letting up. No clock killing. Just keep it up.

 

[4BienemyTDs]

We extended the lead while Kee was in the game.

Yes we did, but if GT shows any signs of life, must have Kin to settle it down. Kee and Kin can be on the floor at the same time.

 

[BuffinCali]

What would you say if I told you... Kin and Horne are a combined 1-7 yet the Buffs are up by 24 at halftime

 

[Hallett Hell]

E WA 7. Kansas 0.

 

[Chip'sBlueBollocks]

Solid D for second half

Bump

No. Let's get this lead up to 40-45 and then call off the dogs.

 

[4BienemyTDs]

What would you say if I told you... Kin and Horne are a combined 1-7 yet the Buffs are up by 24 at halftime

I would say GT watched him and said Kin is the engine and if he can drive into the lane Buffs are great, and the second best scorer is Horne, so that is ALL they gotta worry about!
Oh by the way
Schwartz senior stud
Parquet all PAC12 defender
Walker is an NBA talent inside and outside
Kee has grown into a rock solid backup PG
and finally the HEART of the team is Battey

 

[FM-Buff]

47 points and Jeriah has 0.
15 assists on 16 made FGs.
Only 3 turnovers.

 

[DBT]

They are going to have to back off doubling Kin and start defending the perimeter. Time to get EB, Horne and Walker going to the rim.

 

[cu3x]

I've been standing since before tipoff. Can't now,

 

[Hallett Hell]

If we get to 40 I’m ok with clearing the bench

 

[buff94]

Agree that we need to get Horne going in the 2nd half. And let's draw some fouls and try and get into the bonus early.

 

[chipwich]

Feels like longest halftime ever.

Depth. That's what one of the things that separates this team from most others in the Boyle era. And in particular front court depth. This season's team hasn't been dependent on any one player to score game after game.

Thus far, this has been a fun three point shooting contest to watch. Buffs offense has been doing a tremendous job of moving screening and then finding an open player on the perimeter. The treys are coming in rhythm and without much of a hand in the face.

Nice time for Walker to get his game back.

47 points and Jeriah has 0.

Got to think Horne will get going.

Do we open the half with a small lineup? Worked well in the 1st half

 

[Chip'sBlueBollocks]

I've been standing since before tipoff. Can't now,

Don’t you dare sit down!
