I feel bad for Bol. He clearly is trying really hard…and is just not good at FTs. Reminds me of Shaq.

UCLA is 4-4 vs. teams from Florida coming into the game. They are 0-4 vs Florida and 4-0 vs other teams in the state.
Dear Clemson
I watched about 5 minutes of that game and would be really annoyed if I were a Clemson fan.
This is the second time. The other time was March 13, 1997 (Round of 64)
Iowa State 69 Illinois State 57
Iowa 73 Virginia 60

Not to correct the master (true compliment), but I think the ISU win was over the Illinois State Redbirds not the Illinois Illini?
Purdue scored 104. That ties the most teams that scored 100+ in the same round with 5. 1988 Round of 32 also had 5 teams score 100.
Yes, I knew that and just forgot to type it. I am going to fix.
how do these kids enjoy playing for Cronin
Better yet how does Cronin recruit these kids.

You're not f*cking serious right? Tim Floyd coached talented teams in a style that fit well in the mid-90s era. He finished 2nd in the Big 8, won a conference tourney title, had his 3rd squad ranked in the Top 5, was 1 stupid play away from the Elite 8, and brought in several legit recruiting classes - before getting snagged by the biggest coaching opportunities in sports. To put his name anywhere NEAR this year's suckeye team or program - in literally any way - is one of the most stupid BS things I've read on CF for years. Goddamn, my blood is boiling thinking how stupid that is.
I'll give iowa leadership credit; they exist in a bloated conference where half of the teams absolutely suck at basketball and have shown absolutely no ability to improve their standing nationally. Year in and year out. They had a program that could win 20-25 games nearly every season and somehow be perpetually mediocre and unimportant in the grand scheme of college basketball. So they fire that guy, hire a coach that would immediately bring the most experience in the country, generate a tiny turd splatter of excitement for their fanbase for like 17 seconds, proceed to do exactly what their prior coach did, and cement themselves as a - you guessed it - a perpetually mediocre program still. And magically somehow remain just as douchy and unlikeable!
They do not have talent. And they certainly do not have a "hell of a coach". I cannot believe I even have to type that out. They have proven literally nothing this season. Tonight's result was the bare minimum expectation. They do have leadership that understands how easy it is to get into the NCAA tourney just by being halfway competent. Literally just don't "suck" in the Big 10 and you're in! And oh then get matched up against a truly incompetent and injured team - perfect! Contraction extension baby.
There pg Folks is terrible at decision making. How many unforced errors can one player make?
Would be nice if UCF wasn't 4/14 from the free throw line. Even 50% and this game is different
Very chalky tournament again so far.
