March Madness 2019

[adexkola]

It's time.


First 4 is today. If you care about brackets then lock them in before the first game kickoff. May Chaos be ever in your favor*. Final 4 is April 6.

*Narrator's voice: it wasn't. Not for Virginia at least.

 

[adexkola]

Virginia avoid another upset against a #16 seed

Wisconsin shitting the bed against Oregon

Marquette didn't bother showing up

Ja Morant looks really good so far

 

[Sarni]

Duke should really win it but let’s see.

Virginia will bottle it again. NC have an interesting team from what I’ve seen and Gonzaga are pretty much always good recently (Clarke is great too).

Watching Maryland v LSU right now. Put some money on LSU and seems like I made the right choice. Maryland got back into the game with two threes but it’s still a 9-point game at half.

Kentucky v Wofford could be fun. PJ Washington not playing is a blow for UK.

I have very minimal context of what’s going on in college basketball this year. I just know my school won their first game and that Duke is next level. Is this Zion guy really all that?

He is the best talent coming to the NBA from NCAA since Anthony Davis.

And he could easily be better than AD as well.

 

[Charlie Foley]

Why are people so certain about Duke-didn’t UNC beat them twice this season?

 

[Eboue]

Zion didnt play in those two games


UNC is overrated. Lost to Texas, got curb stomped by Michigan, didnt win either the regular season or postseason. They shouldn't be a 1 seed even

 

[Sarni]

I think Ja Morant has got himself no. 3 spot comfortably here. They will be knocked out today but he has left a huge impression.

Yeah they got no chance against Duke with Zion.

 

[Sarni]

Nah I don’t like Morant all that much.

 

[RobinLFC]

Kentucky through, nice. I was a bit worried about Wofford 3P-shooting but seems like it went just fine. Hopefully PJ is back soon enough.

Want the Spartans to win as well right now cos they’re the best bet to stop Duke from going to the Final Four imo.

 

[Eboue]

Nah I don’t like Morant all that much.

That's a quick turnaround in 90 minutes.

 

[Sarni]

That's a quick turnaround in 90 minutes.

I had Murray +11.5 on my bet slip.

 

[adexkola]

Auburn 5/7 from deep and it's not even halfway through the first half

 

[Sarni]

UCF giving Duke some trouble.

 

[Sarni]

Wow UCF are actually ahead by 2 with 3:50 to go.

 

[adexkola]

We are all UCF fans on this blessed day

Thanks for the info. I take only a passing interest in college sports.

 

[Carolina Red]

How in the world could they say they couldn’t tell if that ball hit the rim or not?

 

[RobinLFC]

It hit the rim though? Offensive rebounds killing UCF...

 

[RobinLFC]

ZION!!!

 

[RobinLFC]

Gotta feel for UCF here.

 

[mu4c_20le]

How did that not go in

 

[Sarni]

What a heartbreak. How did that not go in?!

 

[adexkola]

Ah ffs

 

[Eboue]

brutal

How lucky were Duke here. UCF should have got a rebound from a missed Zion free throw in the first place, then two missed shots under such unlucky circumstances.

Did Tacko foul out on that play? I'd assume so since he wasn't on the field during the free throw.

Such a shame, the tournament would've been a lot more interesting without Duke (and Tennessee, luck feckers).

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

That was actual march madness

 

[Carolina Red]

It hit the rim though?

You’re kidding, right?

You could see a half inch of floor in between the ball and the rim on the dang overhead camera view... AND the ball never changed rotation until it hit the backboard.

Don't forget the missed dunk

Fair enough, I was watching a poor quality stream and could only see that it hit something.

Yeah that would have taken them to 76-70 and would have probably ended the game.

Duke aren’t invincible it seems.

 

[Florida Man]

I barely watched any basketball this year but I watch the whole UCF game and it broke my heart. I know it’s not any one person’s fault but how could Tacko just foul like that in the dying moments? He could have just let Zion score and UCF get the ball while also being up a point. Bah! fecking lucky shits Duke are. Better team lost.

 

[adexkola]

Upset alert... Auburn 10 up against UNC.

 

[adexkola]

UNC bites the dust

 

[Carolina Red]

feck off, UNC

 

[Carolina Red]

Zion is from my hometown btw

I feel everyone is from your home town
