Schasz Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Why the Vols decided to take their foot off the gas pedal in 2nd half was a mystery. They proved in the 1st half that they were much quicker, and for whatever reason shut the running game down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechee89 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 As soon as the tip in overtime immediately went out of bounds, I knew the game was over. If the Hawks had gone zone earlier in the first half, they may have been able to sustain more momentum through the entirety of the game. Defense has been a struggle for every Fran McCaffery Iowa team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right about that. Lots of speculation that he won't be back year for his senior season. He wants to play pro ball and I don't think he cares where. It won't be the NBA though.

He might have had some teams that underperformed in the tournament, but at least he built teams that deserved high expectations and he still managed a Final Four with two other Elite Eight teams.

That shot clock situation should have been a waived off basket. It didn't touch rim. Then the heartbreaking roll off the rim at the end. Zion missed a free throw and they can't get it. Duke lucky..but probably will steamroll to title now sadly. They should've lost..but then they shouldn't of due to that shot clock deal. UCF didn't play smart in the final minutes. I so wanted Duke to go down though. I just knew something would happen there. Tacko not being in at the end was huge. Would have gotten either the FT rebound or dunked the putback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrjoelabs Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Vatech is the luckiest team in this tourney. First we can't shoot for a half, now liberty forgets how to shoot for a half. Duke will route them, especially being woke up now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjoelabs Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Final post for me. This is officially the worst NCAA tournament in my memory. Can't ever remember this much chalk and one fake cinderalla in Oregon. Wow. Well, Ill be skipping the games next weekend for the first time ever. Hopefully next year the Bills and other teams that are interesting are in the sweet 16. Don't need to watch the same old teams battle it out. Not sure of the Rick Barnes love from some of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Didn't what to start a new thread and decided to put this here because some of the teams supposedly involved have advanced to the Sweet 16. Micheal Avenatti was arrested today for trying to extort $20 million from Nike. He threatened to expose a scheme similar to the one that Adidas had. The schools supposedly involved included Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky and Syracuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is true about the schools involved then it makes me sick to see the NCAA not punish their big money makers while our only D1 state football program is punished making it look like the NCAA is on top of the corruption.

That said, Captain Obvious here suspects those schools probably aren’t 100% on the up and up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
