NCAA tourney second round thread

rightfully so. good that she's advancing.

 

And my brackets just went completely up in smoke. :

 

Wiscy has Flowers who's probably the best perimeter defender in the nation so that should be a great battle.

 

Lost 4 Sweet 16 teams so far, but the Elite 8 is still in tact.

Know too many people who had the Hoyas in the Final 4 or title game. Had them bounced by Wisky. G'Town lived most of the year off of their reputation.

 

Anybody think Miss St. or Arkansas can give either of the one seeds a run for their money?

 

I really hope this Memphis-Miss. State game doesn't turn out to be a let-down after the three games we just had and the excitement of last night's UCLA-A&M game.

 

How does a team outshoot an opponent 63% to 39%, make four more three-pointers, and lose?

 

I think they missed Jeff Green. When you really get down to it there's no one on that roster who they could count on for a bucket. A bunch of nice parts, but no go-to guy.

I haven't seen much of Wisconsin, so it'll be interesting to see Flowers try to check Curry. He seems like the kind of player you aren't shutting down, especially the way he's going right now. I'm really impressed with Davidson's PG too.

 

Methinks Varnado and (the other) Hansbrough are going to have to be huge today for State.

 

I think both have a chance. Gotta play defense, though.

 

Fourth block for Varnado -- not bad for about 9 min of play.

 

Dorsey just had two blocks in a row. Lot of blocked shots so far.
