Holmes reminds me of Jerami Grant. Like his game

Sweating the spread as usual Vegas.

How is this game still going on?

 

[bksballer89]

Bama vs UNC would be a great sweet 16

Yeah, seems he'll need to either change how he builds his teams and bring in some veteran guys or hope that NIL encourages some of his recruits to stick around for more than 1 year.

As I believe Stakes and/or The Q mentioned, he worries too much about making sure everyone gets their minutes to keep guys happy, which can lead to weird rotations. So, he may need to start stepping on some egos too.

Coach Cal has to change something. Because what he's doing right now isn't working come tourney time.

 

[The Q]

These refs are pro gonzaga early on

Dirty hip check goes no call gives the ball to zags

Kansas Big dude just got hacked to shit before the break and no call

Needs 1-2 more reeves Mitchell types (but better d) and less 18 year olds

 

[The Q]

They are blatantly working hard to keep gonzaga in this game

Watson should’ve fouled out by now

 

[The Q]

calling that on kansas after the gonzaga dude just grabbed his arm is just awful.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Refs rigging it hard for the Zags with

<checks notes>

4 free throws.

Just unacceptable

Lol I'm an OSU fan. We get it every year. Beat them on their court and they still get the bid lol

Not as excited as a NCAA game but will watch a little tonight.....any idea what network OSU is on? Have checked ESPN stations, BIG network, FX 1 and 2. Can't find it anywhere.

They’ve fouled Kansas on basically any drive

Plus the dirty play by nembhard and the loose ball foul where the gonzaga player grabbed and yanked on the Kansas dudes arm….Kelly olynyk wouldve been proud, Eve he didn’t get a foul on Love when he did it

They are letting them play

Isn't this what we want?

This is why Izzo's teams always do better in the tourney because it is usually called looser.

North Carolina and Gonzaga seem like no brainers (Kansas best player is out) so that probably means they will both lose.

I do make some traditional bets on the tourney with brackets of course.....but my favorite tourney entry I've been doing for a while is a survival pool. This round seems to be the toughest where you need to pick a winner in each region. Cannot lose 1 (round one to advance need to go 5-1)

I like that concept

Cannot believe no Timme on Gonzaga. Seemed like their version of Jamie Skelton or alex Davis who seemed like we had for 6-7 years each.

No.

And if they did it years ago the big East would’ve torn up everyone every year

It was normally the opposite for them

Just call the rule book.

Nembhard play was dirty af and didn’t even get a whistle despite a ref 3 ft away.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I thought it was a very entertaining first half myself lol

 

[dtgold88]

I like that concept

Me, too...first round need 1 from each region and any other 2. as mentioned, need to go 5-1. This round now in one from each region and cannot lose any starting in this round. Next round is any 2 followed by any 1 team remaining rounds. Like most survival pools cannot pick same team twice.

started at 198 and down to 62. Only thing I don't like is the 1st tiebreaker is round 1 record......meaning if you go 6-0 you beat a team that was 5-1. Reason I don't like it is you can make it to the end and not win anything (winner take all).

 

[The Q]

Dickson looks like he’s playing at half speed
