I just turned the game on and learned that Prairie View started 1-11 then went 21-1 to close out the season.
I don’t think they have the athletes to best maryland. They are well coached though and Turgeon sucks so maybe Belmont can win. That big man Fernando for Maryland is good and their point guard, cowan, is electrifying. Still, Turgeon is no Gary Williams.
Yeah maybe but there are times when the collection of athletes can be overcome with a hungry fundamental team that plays with a chip on their shoulder. We’ve seen that plenty of times in the tourney. It’s what makes it so unpredictable.
I'm sad that this makes Rick Pitino happy. I'm shocked that Yale kept it this close while being totally unable to hit from 3 like they have all year. 37% on 20 attempts for the year vs 6-32 today.
Oh wow. Aggies of New Mexico making this a very interesting finish. eta: dammit. Hit your free throws.
He hit that one from 30 feet the shot before, then he missed that one by 2 feet to the left. I didn't have them winning that game, but good god do I hate Bruce Pearl, one of the dirtiest, assholiest people in college hoops who's had several troubles with the NCAA. Of course an SEC team would hire him after he's already been cold busted twice, once in the SEC already.
First half of the slate today has been excellent so far. Stupid Yale. Murray vs Marquette should be a fun PG showdown. eta: what a horrible last possession by Belmont. Assholes.
