Deshon Johnson sure is a smooth player for Arizona.

Dayton wont die

Stripes can take care of it for Az if need be.

 

[PizzaTheHutt]

If Dayton wasn’t so sloppy and careless with the ball, they’d be up 10 points right now lol

We may have Jim Carey, but Houston has...uh, this guy:
View attachment 126119

A little more orange and shorter, he could be an Umpaloompa.

 

[OldCurmudgeon]

Is his head huge or are his hands tiny? Or both?

That's what she said...

 

[jsb]

These announcers seem like they are asleep. I don't need people yelling, but....

 

[CloneLawman]

Except everyone was saying how MSU was overseeeded and didn’t belong in the tourny. Can’t have it both ways just looking at hindsight

 

[cycloneworld]

Who do you guys got KU or Gonzaga?

I like a little KU ML action. Overreaction from Thursday plus St Mary’s got drilled by Grand Canyon. KU a live dog.

 

[CloneLawman]

KU has no depth and they are missing their best or second best player. Think Gonzaga runs away with this one.

But KU has 8 on the court. Never forget that!

Who do you guys got KU or Gonzaga?

I’m pulling for KU, but man, they looked like they were out of gas towards the end of their last game. I don’t think they had enough in the tank to pull it out if the refs didn’t bail them out.

That Larsson haircut is a look. Maybe I'm getting old.

That Larsson haircut is a look. Maybe I'm getting old.

I had the same thought. It’s just missing something. Maybe a good 6” or so in the back or a rat tail. It’s just kind of partially atrocious and needs a little je ne sais quoi to take it all the way.

Sankey

The SEC's first-round stumbles make Greg Sankey's grand plans seem foolish

The SEC did a lot of chest-thumping this year that it was one of the best basketball leagues in the country. Then the first round arrived.

Sankey is The Devil.

Sankey

Sankey is The Devil.

SEC should stick to football. Greg is high on his own supply.

Come on now. Every time Sankey presses the edge, everybody caves. He won't stop pressing. It's no risk, high reward for him.

but...you were wrong? you said they'd all lose so...

Dude I was having fun rehashing our back and forth. I did fairly well with my prediction. Had BYU out second round instead of first but early exit nonetheless.

Why are you such a douche?

 

[jctisu]

but...you were wrong? you said they'd all lose so...

Also you called me an idiot and I pretty much wasn’t an idiot as I got 2/3 correct with TCU and Texas Tech because I just didn’t think they were that good. Proved to be right.

 

[ISUTex]

Grand Canyon now has more wins all time in the tournament than Nebraska.

Grand Canyon looked tough.

Big 12 teams have beaten who? Samford, SDSU, Longwood, Colorado State, and Colgate. Better than losing yes, but not enough to have proven anything IMO.

Have also lost games to: Utah State, Duquesne, and NC state.

It’s a pretty dog poop resume (so far). More to come obviously.

So? I guess every conference has a dog poop resume as well? Auburn lost to f@#king Yale and Kentucky lost to Oakland, and Wisconsin lost to one of our founding fathers. Upsets happen every year. Utah State won the Mountain West soI'm not sure why TCU was expected to win that one. Should the Big 12 ask to be paired up with only top 4 seed type teams in the first round next year?

 

[CycloneErik]

Zags off to a fantastic little start.
