All we need is Morehead now

I’m all for chaos in the East.

Other than us yes. More chaos.

Compared to Khalifa he's Lebron James.

You have some real strong feelings about this cat. Did he do something to you?

 

[IASTATE07]

Yes. And we are as guilty as any.

Yep, we definitely do it. I hate it.

He's BYU's Bob Jones to ZRF

 

[mywayorcyway]

The Duquesne coach said he's just trying to get to the promised land. Subtle.

 

[Fishhead]

I guess I won’t get a perfect bracket this year unless talking perfectly wrong

 

[jctisu]

BYU is what BYU is. If they are hitting threes look out, but today they were 8-24. The only thing that made them dangerous is if you caught them on that day they are clicking. Don't have to worry about that potential now. Let's take care of business tonight.

 

[8bitnes]

Well big 12 off to a great start. At least they are in our region

Paired with the NIT, now 0-4 in post-season play.

Edit- Cincy won in OT, so 1-3

These upsets are nice stories but it makes for worse matchups in the next rounds. If Illinois gets by Morehead State (1st round matchups are always tough for high seeds), I think they'll steamroll Duquesne.

I couldn't get a good pic but the BYU mascot stole Willy the wildcats body....
Both equally weird for the opposite reasons....

 

[Cupped]

Maybe this was covered, just joining, who is the terrible third voice announcing the BYI game?

Avery Johnson

Honestly I thought that it was Whoopi Goldburg!

 

[Cyched]

I was a little frustrated seeing BYU on our side of the bracket; just goes to show you it doesn't matter what you "want" to have happen in the tournament.

 

[J Mast]

Just remember they dropped BYU a seed because they cant play on Sunday.

That no Sunday rule probably bit them.

Haven’t won a game since 2012. Doesn’t seem like they should be worried about playing on the weekend…

Well, I guess Morehead State just needs to beat Illinois then

 

[herbicide]

I for one am glad. Even though I think we would win the rubber match, BYU still scared me more than IL.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Well, I guess Morehead State just needs to beat Illinois then

I’ve been a big Morehead supporter since I was 13.

 

[cydsho]

Alright, now I'm ready for some Morehead.

 

[jctisu]

These upsets are nice stories but it makes for worse matchups in the next rounds. If Illinois gets by Morehead State (1st round matchups are always tough for high seeds), I think they'll steamroll Duquesne.

In other regions fine, but if it can potentially help us let the upsets roll.

The problem with being an team that plays on the perimeter and relying on the 3 leads to variance especially in the tourney. Early start, unfamiliar opponent and new gym often results in a tough shooting starts.

BYU went 8-24 from 3, I don't think many of us would have picked them to win knowing that. Doesn't mean they are bad team just hard to see that type of style resulting in consecutive 6 wins IMO.
