***Official 2021 NCAA Tournament Thread***

I was at a high school game earlier this year where someone kept saying that even when the player missed and wasn't even fouled.

Yikes. That would make the game absolutely miserable for me... also not sure if I would have the self control to not make fun of given individual.

Time to find out if it's still the ol' Baylor is Baylor is Baylor.

Dude....Baylor has kicked so much ass in bball the last decade. WAYYY more than ISU has. Are you being for real?

 

[Nococy]

So what are we down to? 4 Big 10 teams? Iowa, Michigan, Rutgers, and Maryland? Out of how many 9?

and 2 of those schools they had to recruit

What does that have to do with ISU?

Yes. Rutgers and Maryland most likely will lose. And the other two are not guaranteed wins by any means.

They've also covered up more rapes and murders in the last two decades than ISU has. Your point?

Thats bad, but the guy I responded too said " ol' Baylor is Baylor is Baylor. " That seems more to be crapping on their performance? Maybe not, that is what I am commenting on though.

Big 12 Team #2 today is West Virginia. They are taking on Syracuse from the ACC. Big 12 is 15-20 vs. the ACC in the tournament.

Geez.

There was a saying on here of 'Baylor is Baylor is Baylor, sucks to BU' etc.

It was wondering if they were going to keep it together or screw around and blow it.

 

[Acylum]

I think Baylor is what CSP aspired ISU to be. Unfortunately, our guys were always smaller, worse shooters, and worse ball handlers than Baylor’s.

Is it odd that there are no Big 12 advocates on tv touting the conference's success in the tournament? Or does CBS just purposely avoid the subject since ACC and B1G are being exposed as far weaker than they had been hyped?

Tech and Baylor have fullbacks playing basketball.

Drew has also adapted to what the players can do to it seems.

A few years ago they would play that really deliberate offense because of a huge front court.

 

[HoopsTournament]

ACC has 2 teams in the Round of 32. The last time that the ACC did not have any teams in the Sweet 16 was 1979. In the 40 tournaments since then, they have had 1 team in the Sweet 16 five times (2007, 2008, 2010, 2014, 2017). They had 2 teams 17 times.

There have been 23 tournaments (before this year) since Big 12 was formed. Here is the distribution of Sweet 16 teams for the Big 12:

0 teams - Once (1998)
1 team - 6 times
2 teams - 8 times
3 teams - 6 times
4 teams - Twice (2002, 2018)

Syracuse was extremely fortunate to be in the tournament - had a very average year. WV should blow them out.
