Yeah they've been off since coming back from their COVID break. I didn't pick them to go very deep

This is why I don't do brackets any more.

I've considered abandoning the practice, but I can't stay away completely. I used to host a work pool but interest dwindled in recent years so I don't bother.

The only one I'm involving any $ this year I got an "email reminder invite" so of course I clicked on it and ... here I am.

Loyola Chicago struggling early on against GT.

Please let The Aaron Craft university become part of the 2 / 15 upset lore.

 

[ISUTex]

Oral Roberts is just giving this game to Ohio State.

Or we could save the 15/2 voodoo for a certain game tomorrow.

 

[ScottyP]

not too many upsets so far. Hopefully that means lots of big upsets tomorrow.

 

[cyclones500]

Looking like Ohio State is going to survive. Maybe.

Why can't we get both?

It did not look like a foul on ORU there.

There have been a few of those.

It did not look like a foul on ORU there.

Given the way the games have been called, it was a bailout

 

[JP4CY]

What an awful end of regulation play and shot.

 

[stormchaser2014]

With no tournament last year, I for one do not mind these overtime games.

 

[packattack425]

I don’t get why teams don’t drive the lane on last second shots. Gives you an opportunity for a tip in or a foul.

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

Ohio State couldn't bring in Aaron effing Craft to shot-put in a 3-pointer on that last possession?

Overtime vs. Oral Roberts ...

 

[cyclones500]

Hey, @HoopsTournament -- is this the first overtime game in a 2 vs. 15 matchup? Or was maybe the MSU-MT game also OT?

 

[Gonzo]

Why does it seem like the only play that gets drawn up with 10 seconds left and the game on the line is guy bringing it up court, dribbling, and taking a low-percentage shot from outside? Seriously.

 

[JP4CY]

I don’t get why teams don’t drive the lane on last second shots. Gives you an opportunity for a tip in or a foul.

And ORU would have gone into double bonus.
