2015 NCAA Tournament thread

Michigan State is the better team, and it's not remotely close.

 

What a fucking horrible call. Michigan State gets two free throws (one made) it didn't deserve and Atkins goes to the bench with his fourth foul. Just a brutally shitty call.

 

There's been a different standard at each end throughout. But it doesn't matter. They're just playing out the string.

 

Virginia should get called for about three fouls on every possession. Hack, hack, hack.

 

The "Izzo paid the refs" factor now on full display.

 

And they have been. Michigan State, which has played much more physically, has not. To say nothing of getting timeouts without possession.

 

Better team is winning, though. Make no mistake.

 

This one's over. I'm now looking forward to next Selection Sunday, when the committee pairs 30-win UVA with 28-win Michigan State in the first round.

 

Yep. I think Virginia fans can fairly claim they were screwed by the Committee by being forced to play Michigan State the first weekend. Sparty is a much better team than what normally passes for a 7 seed, and everybody knew it as soon as the brackets were announced.

Kinda reminds me of that uber-talented Kentucky team last year somehow getting an 8 seed. Wichita State was the high seed victim of that underseed, looks like Uva's turn this year.

 

Virginia was a sniff away from being ranked No. 1 this year and Hoos fans are bitching and moaning about playing a 7-seed on the opening weekend?

Is that what it has come down to?

How DARE the NCAA make us play Sparty so early!

 

Not A 7-seed. THAT 7-seed. The one that should have been a 5.

The fact that it's the second year in a row they've underseeded Sparty and put them with UVA a round too early doesn't help matters.

 

I love the way CBS shows me one game, gives me half an hour for nap, and then expects to keep me interested until midnight. Not happenin'.
