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

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.

Would have really loved had we pulled in Bidunga, but KU dropped the bag late and we lost out.

He’s clearly still a project and I hate that we missed, but I’m not too mad given where we are.

If we can just get by Creighton for Atlanta tomorrow…

It feels like we need Bryant to knock out Michigan State as not any lower Cinderella type teams. The upsets even were not close games like you usually see. Mcnese dominated Clemson and Colorado State not a huge Cinderella type team.

Pretty boring 1st round only one game was 2 points or less and that was because Clemson got a wide open layup as time expired to cut it to two but game really was not in question at the end. A couple shots that could have tied a game but Michigan and Baylor escaped last second shots. There was no real big upsets besides that game imo. A few lower seeds won but not a major upset like Drake and Colorado State. Also no player carrying a team to a win by getting on fire like last year with guy from Oakland.

Big 10 was class of day 1 going 8-0 and all 8 covering. SEC went 8-6 which is decent and pretty much the teams that were good all year won and the teams that played tough but finished under .500 in league lost. So 16 of the 32 left are Big 10 or SEC teams. Big ten fans are talking now how great conference is. Like I told some. They didn’t beat 1 single digit seed and beat. Bryant, Montana, High Point, Grand Canyon, San Diego, Liberty, Xavier, Utah State so not like they playing major conferences.
