NCAA tourney second round thread

Now Williams pulls his starters? With 3:14 remaining and up 36?

After that stunt, I hope someone beats the Heels in the next round.

 

That's a stunt?

 

It's just bullshit. This game has long since been over. He had ample opportunities to sit the starters. Instead, he had his starters run up the score.

Now, I'm rooting for Good Ol' Roy to lose in humiliating fashion.

 

Like maybe to his former team in the final four?

 

With Roy, it's SOP.

It's how Hansbrough's nose was broken last year by Gerald Henderson in the Dean Dome. No one deserved to have their nose popped, but Chapel Hill was safely ahead.

Roy doesn't have that late substitution thing down too well.

 

Capel jacked OU real good this weekend...and with today's performance, they probably will pack his bags for South Carolina.

And Carolina just had a barbecue. They look goooood.

 

INDIANAPOLIS (AP)—Texas A&M pulled within two of UCLA on Sunday. Too bad the game ended Saturday night.

The NCAA clarified the score of the top-seeded Bruins’ second-round victory over the Aggies, saying the officials waved off Russell Westbrook’s dunk as time expired and the final was 51-49 instead of 53-49.

UCLA’s Josh Shipp blocked Donald Sloan’s drive in the final seconds and Westbrook rushed upcourt for an emphatic dunk as the Bruins celebrated.

It turns out Westbrook didn’t make it to the basket in time, and officials disallowed the hoop.

“Amidst the activity courtside, there was a misinterpretation of the signal,” Hank Nichols, national coordinator of men’s basketball officiating, said in a release Sunday. “But the ruling on the court was that the basket should not have counted, making the final score 51-49, not 53-49.”

Gee, someone finally paid attention.

 

Good ol' Roy will soon have one of his postgame sobs about how much he loves his departing boys. Um, maybe.

 

I really don't care who they lose to. Just as long as they lose and Roy makes excuses afterwards.

 

Most impressive first weekend:

1) UNC
2) Louisville
3) Washington St.
4) Wisconsin
5) Davidson

 

I love the fact that NOW people think Roy is a douchebag in big games.

Have you been paying attention at all?

 

Got no problem with it. The Carolina victory cigar is a bunch of guys who together wouldn't make up a functional NAIA team. In the shot-clock era, you have to keep playing. In the old days, Dean Smith could and would pull his starters and play the four corners for 10 minutes of root-canal basketball.
