Gonzaga actually plays defense though, unlike Iowa. Would be up and down though, which is all we can ask for in March!

NCAA Basketball has a really big problem, and its the charge. 90% are blocks, yet officials call 75% of them charges. They really need to eliminate the off-ball charge, because the charbage called in games influences them WAY to much. Its really, really bad.
Interesting sweet sixteen: (15) Oral Roberts, (12) Oregon State, (11) Syracuse, (11) UCLA, (8) Loyola-Chicago, (7) Oregon, (6) USC, (5) Creighton (5) Villanova, (4) FSU, (3) Arkansas, (2) Houston, (2) Alabama, (1) Baylor, (1) Gonzaga, (1) Michigan
Oregon State about to become the 2nd 12 seed ever to advance to the Elite 8 (first was Missouri in 2002)....and they do it against 2018 tournament darling Loyola Chicago.
I know this is apart of basketball but god damn these games drag on forever. Each team has to use to three time outs the last 90 seconds. Villanova is fouling while down 11 with 27 seconds left FFS.
blowjob bob kneels to no one
LOL, not how you wanted to defend that last play Arkansas, but it worked out for ya
Arkansas, down 9, was -116 on the market lol. Down 12, they were finally plus money at +106. Crazy.
Hell of a run by BJ Bob....they just went cold from 3 for, like, the last 30 minutes. They should have won, but ARK rebounded like a wounded dog in H2.
My bracket is completely hilarious. On the left side of the paper, I look like Mr. Basketball Knowledge. If Alabama and Oregon win, I'll be 4/4 today. On the right side of the paper, let's just say I had no stake in any of yesterday's four games and that whole side is nothing but Sharpie'd "X"s throughout those two regions.
And I can still win my friends' pool as long as Gonzaga doesn't win the championship and Baylor loses soon (like they might have to fall to Oregon State tomorrow). A very slim chance, but just the fact I have ANY chance despite getting barely anything from 50% of the bracket is wild as hell.
2nd game of 4 not ending until 7:00 is dumb...no reason last game should be scheduled for 9:45 start

Playing the sweet 16 on Saturday/Sunday was dumb. It has been Thursday/Friday for as long as I can remember.
Refs calling a lot in this Bama/UCLA game
UCLA done
Announcer: "Mick Cronin is big into fouling when up 3"
Mick Cronin: Nah
And now we're going to OT. All you have to do is foul and you've all but clinched the win. But I have Alabama, so I'm not complaining!

3 UCLA players were just inside the 3 point line.....their defense should’ve been the 3 point line is the edge of the cliff, don’t fall off, force a 30 footer
Bill Raftery was New Jersey’s all time leading high school scorer and held title for 35 years. Was Mr. Basketball USA in 1959 and drafted by NBA in 1963. Also first team all state in basketball, baseball and soccer.
Kinda refreshing seeing half court offenses during this tournament...not just a barrage of 3’s

Funny you say that, its the second most % of 3s taken in the history of the tournament this year. 2019 is the most. And this likely wouldve passed it, but the longer line instituted last season making this the first tournament with it in play

Good info, but soccer wasn't invented yet :)
Alabama damn, Michigan vs Bama would’ve been awesome. Maybe UCLA can keep this going, but I tend to think Michigan puts the clamps on them.

Between high school and NBA the last couple years I just haven’t seen much of it. I’ve seen more quick passes leading to shots at the rim than I’ve seen in a while.
