2018 General NCAA Tournament Games Thread

[Walker]

Wow, Penn is looking pretty good.

[jdshock]

Does anyone know if we get any of the tournament share money from this year? I know part of the stipulations of us joining had something to do with not getting all the shares.

My memory is that we forfeited shares for all of the MVC wins, and we will not get any of the shares the AAC has earned in prior years. I think we do get shares the AAC earns this year and forward. We do not yet get any of the TV money.

At least, that's how I remember it. I'll definitely defer to anyone who remembers differently.

[Aargh]

Agrees with my memory, for what that's worth.

Great win for RI! B12 starting another year of overwhelming NCAA bids and early exits off right.

[ShockerPrez]

Refs gifting KU 3 points to end the half

[WheatShock]

Just a horrible call. It is KU though so i'm not surprised.

Yep. How a team could finish the season 6-12 (that's more than half the season) and still get an invite defies sound reasoning.

[1972Shocker]

Your talking about the NCAA here. Sound reasoning is not exactly a strong point of said organization.

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

You keep saying this. The reasoning is that the entire season counts equally. Dislike it, fine. But the reasoning is sound.

[ShockingButTrue]

They haven't won a road game in the year of our Lord 2018. In their last 18 games they were 6-12 (now 13).So the reasoning states Nov. and Dec. are what's really important, not Jan-Feb-March? Is that right? And if so, you want me to believe that's sound? What an idiot.

Shows what happens when you have lower FG%, fewer FTs, outrebounded by 13, one fewer PF, shoot 19 percentage poinnts better from 3 (7 more made FG) and have 6 turnovers to opponent's 13.

14

13 seed UNC Greensboro giving 4 seed Gonzaga a storng challenge through 30 minutes of play.

[bunck]

This has been a great game, Loyola/Miami looks like it could be a pretty good matchup too.

[AndShock]

Penn has some fight in them.

[Shocker Mama]

Loyola leading Miami early.

[UCONN_Husky]

Houston, WSU, and UC can't sleepwalk this year. Teams came to play. This year's first round is already more entertaining than last year's.

[AndShock]

So the one year we don’t get the worst possible bracket and location....

...and jinxed it.

Huh?

[RoyalShock]

That Alonso for UNCG cost them the game with an awful take to the basket then the push off foul.

[bunck]

Someone needs to call into coach Donahue's radio show and ask him about free throw shooting.

[AndShock]

Huh?

Looked like Gonzaga was gonna lose for a good minute there. I figured the one year we didn’t get worst-case scenario (Gonzaga in Boise) the worst-case scenario was going to fall through.

[SHOCKvalue]

Gotcha!
