Selection Sunday-NCAA tournament thread

Wichita State-Ohio State?

But yeah, quality of play has been low all tournament and too many blowouts (not that I mind, as I had a glorious weekend rooting for Michigan.) Even most of the "upsets" (Oregon, FGCU) haven't been particularly close.

 

Played high school ball at a school outside Atlanta.

 

If it's the one I very briefly saw on Twitter, I thought it was fake. I hope it's a different one. I will not try to find out.

 

I just saw one of the photos where he has the leg partially lifted off the ground. It's pretty disgusting.

I missed seeing it happen at the time. I had to go to YouTube to see what all of the fuss was about.

You know an injury is bad when ESPN won't even show it on SportsCenter.

I was sitting courtside at a hoops game about a decade ago when a player blew out his knee right in front of press row and if you watch the video of the game, you can see the looks of horror on my face and all of the other members of the media who saw and heard it.

I'm guessing this was that times about a hundred million.

 

That was the worst I have ever seen.

Theisman
Krumrie
McCallum
Livingston
Lattimore

Not even close.

 

That was a blowout for most of the way. Ohio State, clearly the more talented team, buried itself with horrible shot selection.

Surely you wouldn't call a nine-error 7-6 baseball game great.

 

I'm surprised some website doesn't put up the video of all of them and have people vote on the worst.

I don't think I've seen the Lattimore one.

This is the worst break I've ever seen. McCallum is the worst knee injury I've seen by a mile.

 

It was a bad game with a kind of interesting finish.

 

Pick the adjective - generic/pedestrian. It's would you got to see in most games. Just different color uniforms. Too much overcoaching and teams working the 35 sec clock to
control possessions.

I've mentioned it before but as college football has gone the other way with many teams running 80 - 90 offensive plays, college basketball is slowing down. Offensive possessions going from the high 70's to the low 60's.

I give Pitino credit though for figuring out a way to offset the 3 point shot. Press the entire game and not allow opponents to set up on the 3 point line.

 

I remember covering the Michigan State-Wisconsin game back in 2000 and thinking it was the one of the most boring top-level college basketball games I'd ever watched. I've seen a few this tournament that were far worse. Marquette-Syracuse being one of them.

 

The Butler-Connecticut championship game was the nadir of major college basketball.
