Villanova as the 3 and Oklahoma as the 6 is about as good as you could ask for if you are a 2 seed this season.
SDSU in the 2nd round is no walk in the park though. They can shoot it. Looking at that bracket I'd be pulling hard for Louisville to upset them.
My nightmare 2nd round is Oregon. I know pac 12 isn't great but a 20-5 power 5 conference champion that has been a consistent deep tournament threat should be nowhere near the 6 to 7 seed line. They seem to be way underseeded
Foul disparity happens all the time. Iowa wasn't gifted anything in the game, but as is usual there are calls that could have gone either way. For instance instead of an and 1 for Potter and a foul on Garza late, it could have been called a travel. The foul on Jordan on the 3 could have been a no call as well. Both went for the offensive players and each team got 3 points on the play. That is the way it goes in basketball.
Wisconsin had every chance to win that game as the refs gave them an extra shot at it by swallowing their whistles and let the fouls on Jordan go, and they gave Wisconsin the jump ball. Once again, as I said you get some calls others you don't. Either way, Wisconsin couldn't capitalize on the opportunities they were given, and Iowa did to earn a hard fought win.
Any foul could be a no call, do you watch basketball? The refs didn't have to call the foul, but they correctly did.
Should have said 9 times out of 10, refs will always miss some calls, no matter how obvious.
Yes, you put a forearm on a shooter 25' from the basket while he is shooting that is going to get called nearly every time.
That's always the million dollar question when conversing with @CyTwins. He gets asked that a lot for some reason.
Who needs to watch games when you have box scores and Twitter?
I noticed that Rutgers is currently a 10. I don't think Alabama would want anything to do with them as a 2nd round matchup. They are dangerous for a 10.
The sum seems to be lesser than the parts. I don't get them. I think them and Maryland are most likely to not win a game in the tournament from the conference
maybe true. Just seems like they should be able to match up well. They can play good defense.
Agreed they have talent and could very well be dangerous but for whatever reason they have not played consistent or up to their potential for really the whole season. I could see early exit or win a couple games with them
