Bama Game Thread: NCAA Day 1 Thread - do breakout games if you feel the need

UNC was down 4 and missed 3 layups in a row.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Pedulla with a huge 3 to push it back to 5.

Looks like Ole Miss woke up just in time to survive.

 

[BhamToTexas]

If Pedulla misses that 3 I bet UNC would have won. That was big time.

Let's Go!

Norfolk State trying to do the 16-1 upset in the 6:50 Friday night opening round just like UMBC did against Virginia did few years back.

Condo on pace for 60 offensive rebounds......

I will take just 8 total. Lol

I don’t know about y’all but guys like Kevin Harlan and Ian Eagle are basically the voices of March. Love hearing Harlan call this UK-Troy game. Just feels right.

Kentucky’s Amari Williams would be about unstoppable if they ran there on offense through him. Troy is way too small for him.

I concur.

Yeah they were real tough on the boards. Florida seemed to lose the edge midway through 1st half.

Kentucky win gives SEC 8 teams so far into the final 32 with Oklahoma left to play. I thought getting half to the 14 to next round would be the middle ground of success so 8 so far is pretty good. Kentucky and A&M were the two that looked better then they played during season.

We all know how challenging it is to stay on the gas pedal when you play and get a big lead over a weaker opponent. No disrespect meant towards the Spartans.

I mean...this is just the nature of the beast.......

Pitino's boy coaches UNM and they're currently up 5 on Marquette nearing 4 to go.

I picked UNM here.

UF had their foot off the gas with the game cashed in.

Watched some of the game early. Dadgum, NS had some long, lanky athletic looking guys.

But UF did what I thought they'd do.

Marquette and Kansas the two biggest disappointments this season imo. Kansas brought in a bunch of transfers and Marquette had 3 very good returning players. On a side not Shaka Smart is one of most overrated coaches in the game still hanging on to that VCU run. He gets talent at Texas and Marquette but they get sent him early every year.
