2025 NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament Discussion

[TheWatShot]

Can't wait for Purdue social media to make a goofy post about how they were the first team to punch its ticket to next weekend. 

[Henryville Hoosier]

Will Wade looks like Lee Majors

It was nice of CBS to show the start time of St. John's-Arkansas as 2:40 p.m. so viewers would tune it at 2:40 and be treated to 15 minutes of commercials. 

[HoosierHoopster]

Slow start for St. Johns

[TheWatShot]

St. John's has the yips right now. Wow. 

[OliviaPope40]

First so far in the family bracket group.

Love this from Rick Bozich -

The Pitino Family has more teams in the Round of 32 than the ACC.

Can someone please post Rick’s diet.  No way he’s 72.   :)

Last year’s BWW “box out” commercial was so much better than this year’s commercial.   We all know that guy, and if you don’t, you are that guy. :)

Is St. John’s the worst shooting 2-seed of all time? I mean, this is terrible!

They're playing with carnival rims. Never seen so many layups and shots in the paint catch the rim and bounce out.

No kidding. I have seen a lot of people theorize the basketballs being used are inflated too much. 

[TheWatShot]

It blows my mind that people were complaining about the SEC yesterday. Arkansas looks like the better team.

It almost seems like they use outdoor basketballs for the tournament cuz they're super bright orange with the prevailing logic that all the people need to see the ball.

[HoosierHoopster]

St J keeps cutting it to 6 but Ark looks like the better team, St. J can't seem to answer the athleticism. Man the shooting though... Almost as ugly as that sport coat Cal is ... sporting.

 

4 point game...

 

[HoosierHoopster]

St J's now doing a good job of attacking the basket to get to the line

[TheWatShot]

Some really weak calls by the officials in the second half. 

[OKHOOSIER]

These refs are atrocious

[Hardwood83]

 

How bizarre that I am cheering for a John Calipari coached team! Can't recall if that has ever happened before.

[FortWayneHoosier]

Boy. I really didn’t think St John’s would lose. But they are working hard at it by missing every three they shoot lol.

I’ll root for Pitino and St John’s before I’d ever root for a SEC team
