xDerekRx Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Two of my favorite days of the year! First 2 of the NCAA tournament. Best perk of working for myself has always literally been having these two days open. Although I always think its fun for those of you with desk jobs with all the streaming games on one of your monitors. Always seemed like fun.

DooleyBull06 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Looking forward to seeing Murray St v Marquette. Seton Hall v Wofford. Those two games today stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeseph Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 OT: This is a petty complaint but I don't think teams should get an NCAA Tournament appearance/win for the play-in game. You aren't "in the field" until you win that game... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I have my own office it doesn't matter but the March Madness stream on CBS still has the Boss Button. Always cracks me up to see that.

Like had UBs first tournament win been one of these play ins, I still wouldn't have given us credit until the Arizona victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyHubby Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Counting a play-in game as a tourney win is akin to giving a participation trophy. Just plain wrong. Edited March 21, 2019 by ChubbyHubby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumBull Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 It is a strange way to give 2 of the worst conferences in the country 2 tourney credits every year. $$$ good for them. Probably a decent percentage of their revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 4 minutes ago, mikescherrer8 said: Belmont and New Mexico State came oh so close. I had both of them winning. Two very good games on how outcomes come down to free throws missed in the New Mexico State game and the Belmont game is another case of poor coaching decisions of waiting for the last shot. Belmont had something like 24 seconds left trailing by one with the last shot and waited to start their offensive play with 10 seconds to play. Their guard started his drive was double teamed and never got a shot off or a good pass off. Do not understand why most of the coaches don’t start their offensive sets and try and get the defense to have to react to you. I would really like to see the stats overall the year where teams with the last shot wait until 10 seconds left and wither tied or won the game. Hope that does not come to that in our games. Go Bulls!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillenniumBull Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Shouldn’t UB just put a spy inside Liberty U. Clearly they have unlimited money for recruiting and have to look under every rock. Let them do the work and just swoop in at the end and take the player. Worked with K Mack. We could save some major $$$ on recruiting. No one actually wants to get a diploma from a school that teaches the earth is 6K years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillenniumBull Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Why is LSU even in the tournament? What if they win it all? No champ this year? And does their wins mean the NCAA credits are more valuable? Or does the SEC still get them? If it’s the former, I’m okay with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDerekRx Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Sad to see Wofford lose basically by a basket or two when Mcgee goes 0/12 from 3. They get anything from him at all... Although honestly not sure why he even was given the last two 3 pt shots over say Hoover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
