**2022 NCAA Tourney Thread** (including play-ins)

Not impressed with Colorado State. They're looking around like "how are we losing" and don't have answers. Roddy is not playing very well and doesn't seem to have the alpha personality that they need right now. Even though they're playing a B1G team, they are proving that it's a pretty big jump up from the Mountain West. Between them and Wyoming, not a great start for that league.

Iowa should have a cakewalk through Richmond and Providence it looks like. Providence doesn't look good at all.

Maybe SDSU will win? Either way... pretty easy trip to the Sweet Sixteen.

Michigan is a problem for the non power 5 due to size and athleticism. Howard has done a rough job coaching and assembling the roster but there are 4 NBA guys on that roster.

CSU was probably over seeded - regardless I'm hoping for a huge comeback.

Agreed, they only deserved an 8 or so with losing in their league tourney. But man, they look very overmatched by a team that only won 17 games this year.

Good perspective and you can see this pretty clearly on the floor. Could see this Michigan team getting blown out in the next round but Colorado State just doesn't have any sense of urgency. Turning it on with a minute to go isn't going to do it. Terrible coaching by Medved.

100% agree. Tenn is the exact kind of team that can beat Michigan by 20. If Michigan plays to it’s full potential then it will be an excellent battle but they haven’t done that much this year.

CSU Looked good in the first half.

I thought CSU was probably a 7 seed. Site placement (fan support wise) favored Michigan so I figured U-M had an advantage for that ... although in first half, it was looking like I was going to be way wrong.

 

[mywayorcyway]

I was absolutely baffled by the Michigan line (-2) and felt like it was a trick so I left it alone completely. Guess Vegas was right...again.

How did CSU get a 6 seed?

Providence might have the creepiest mascot ever.

**** MICHIGAN FOREVER

We'll see how the 2nd Half goes, but Boise State looks like they have no idea what hit them. Memphis athleticism is destroying them in the 1st Half.

 

[NoCreativity]

Memphis all over Boise. The Moutain West is looking very exposed.

It'll be interesting to see Emoni Bates in the tourney

 

[CloniesForLife]

Mountain West is not impressive. I almost picked Memphis to upset the Zags. I could definitely see it happening

 

[NoCreativity]

Not impressed with the Jackrabbits at all. I was expecting a high flying offense. They had a chance until that plowed into the 3 point shooter.

Anyone paying attention to Memphis the last month saw how much better they have gotten. Still a long way to go in this one, and Gonzaga is a different animal. But it wouldn't be out of this world ridiculous with the size and athleticism Memphis has.
