I can hardly wait for that New Orleans vs. Abilene Christian game.
March 16th, 2019 at 11:33 AM ^
Southland Conference team punching its ticket to the Big Dance! Right now projected to be a 15-seed, so it's more relevant than you think if we get a 2-seed.
March 16th, 2019 at 11:34 AM ^
Beat me to it. Although, Grand Canyon v. New Mexico State is scintillating.
March 16th, 2019 at 11:39 AM ^
Is Thunder Dan still coaching GCU?
March 16th, 2019 at 11:44 AM ^
He is. They have a tough game today against NM State. The Aggies rule the WAC.
Yes...yes he is.
Downtown Dan!
Thank you for the comment. I didn't know Dan Majerle was coaching and this is his 5th year.
March 16th, 2019 at 11:39 AM ^
Hey, you don't mess with Privateers vs. Wildcats basketball!!
March 16th, 2019 at 12:17 PM ^
I hadn’t watched Vermont before today but they look solid. Didn’t they knock Syracuse out of the dance one year?
Here comes State vs Wisky.
gosh this game makes me nauseous
Spartans hitting open threes
Sparty off to a quick start...
Watching how Wisconsin defend Winston ball screens, they are dropping Happ back and letting the defender just go under the screen. Winston does not even look to shoot a three off that look. Wouldn't that be a better way for us to defend Winston ball screen?
i think we should go matthews on winston and livers on goins, then switch all 1-4 ball screens
Happ's man has two wide open threes.
Badgers D getting dissected right now.
Tillman makes State so much better. I'm annoyed Ward getting hurt forced Izzo to notice.
he's really good and seems like a very likable kid too. Between him and winston, I find myself cheering against msu not as aggressively as I normally do
Their coach is still a whiny miserable asshole who protects rapists.
no argument there
Foster Loyer still has a punchable face and stupid name too.
Foster Loyer looks like a dude trying to sell you a fouton.

Can we take this simulation and run?
West Region:
1. Gonzaga
2. Michigan
3. LSU
4. Florida State
Vermont Catamounts win America East over UMBC (you might recall from beating #1 UVA last year) to secure their bid.
Guard that fucker...er, Goins
He’s so good at the three now at the top of the arc. Can’t leave him open.
CBS carrying water for Izzo - "Ward hurt his toe against Michigan and hasn't practiced all week."
I think they were talking about Winston
Play some D Wisky...seriously!?!? letting Sparty shoot 80%??? What a disgrace
What are the yellow circles on Sparty's shorts?
Chips?
Tennis ballz
Urine stains?
This game is fucking over...
I'll say this...I can't handle fucking losing to these fuckers 3 times in one season.
Wisconsin has no chance shooting like this...
wisconsin looks terrible
Yeah that was clean on Ward but whatever I’ll take it
Brad davison is a piece of shit
He’s been on the floor for legit reasons this game
So far he ran into 2 screens and tried to undercut a rebounder who landed on him.
MSU players are such whiny babies, they act just like Izzo and cry over every call that goes against them.
It's almost like Wisconsin forgot they had Ethan Happ. Yikes.
so many wisconsin breakdowns on D. You can't leave winston or goins open for transition threes
When did all of these other tourneys get official sponsors?
MAC Tournament presented by Visit Myrtle Beach is parody brought to life.
transition defense .......
Badger heart beats detected
Wiscy cut the lead more than half so not over yet
Edit: have to contest their threes better to have a chance. Would also be good if they hit some of their own
Pretty good push by Wisconsin to make this competitive.
