2018 NCAA Tournament Games

Does anyone have Villanova on upset alert besides me?

Judging by my bracket challenge track history, I picked them to win it all...that's a kiss of death in itself

Yeah I agree. As a coach part of it is knowing where people want to attack your offense or defense. Both had fundamental flaws and didn’t react. UMBC hit a few threes and the center of the floor started opening up. That’s a huge red flag for the packline. Much like what happened in Fort Wayne and ISU game. Have to stay disciplined. Offensively we are different than VU and Zona. Zona sets one or two picks and then turns into an iso team. Weird

The Packline does open you up to the chance of losing if a team gets hot from 3. The important thing is to just contest them reducing the chance they get hot  

That's why it will be important to have an elite offense also.

So what happened with Haas? I read he's "out for the season", but only a vague, passing reference to something with his elbow. Sucks to be Purdue... they have been beaten with Haas, but without him, they are quite beatable.

Go get 'em, Butler!

Isaac Haas practiced w/@BoilerBall this afternoon. He had a brace on his fractured elbow. Brace needs to be cleared by NCAA. IF it is cleared, Purdue will have to decide if they allow him to play. He wants to play per Coach Painter. He will go through warmups tomorrow.

[CR3AMnCR1MS0N]

If haas actually plays tomorrow, and scores 10+, I'll never speak ill of him again.

[TheWatShot]

If his elbow really is fractured, I can't see how that would possibly be cleared.

[Hovadipo]

If he plays and doesn’t get sent to the foul line 75 times, Butler is stupid. 

[HoosierAloha]

Haven't seen the brace but it needs to have a lot of padding or the NCAA needs to have coffins lined up for Butler players.

So apparently some Rhode Island fan got kicked out of the game for taunting Wendell Carter Jr.'s mother. Bad enough for ushers and security to get involved, she was moved closer to the Duke bench as well. 

 

It'd be a wonder if one day adults could act like adults, instead of overgrown childern

All the people who wrote UK off a month ago look pretty foolish now.

 

Tennessee is trailing Loyola early in the second half. That region is literally bowing to them. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them reach the Final Four.

They're going to have the easiest path to the Final Four, ever.

12, 13, 16, 11

Has any team ever made it to the FF by beating only double digit seeds?

Highly doubt it, but we got there in 2002 by beating 12, 13, 1 and 10.

[Trish]

Had them in my sweet 16! 

 

Rick Barnes teams are on the list of those to never choose to advance too far.

We were close in '02 though beating the NBA Blue Devils should've automatically put us in the title game.

I broke my arm right at the elbow playing basketball, finished the game, found out the next day it was broke. I continued to play with it for a couple weeks until it wasn't healing right, then I had to sit.  Obviously I wasn't as effective with the broken arm though.
