Good game, Sparty.  Closer than final score will indicate.  

Lots of talent returning.  Hope y'all win your Champions Classic game in Chicago in November, and I hope I'm in the stands to see it.

It'll be so nice to have a legitimate frontcourt again. I love Kenny Goins as the hard-working 12th man, but watching him try to protect the rim against a team like Kansas was painful.

 

[Rirruto]

Ohmygod. This is the first time Arkansas has played a team better than them and not been blown out. A road win against a slumping South Carolina is the only possible exception. 

Their mo is to go down 15+, take the lead, give it back, and win at the end. So be ready for that.

[fantasycurse42]

UNC is isn't even a top 25 team without Berry on the court.

 

[Capella]

So I guess we're all still gonna pretend a one-game sample is an effective way to judge conference strength again?

ACC has played 4 games so far in this round.

 

[Capella]

ACC has played 4 games so far in this round.

I worded that wonky, but even then, 6 games is an effective sample?

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Depends on whether those 6 results support my point of view.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

So I guess we're all still gonna pretend a one-game sample is an effective way to judge conference strength again? 

And we're going to assume everyone played an average game representative of how they play on an average day.

 

[Rirruto]

I worded that wonky, but even then, 6 games is an effective sample?

All I know is the ACC is the best conference in history and the Big 10 and SEC are garbage. 

 

[Capella]

Depends on whether those 6 results support my point of view.

 

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

The espn goons and the selection committee look a bit foolish with the dismal ACC performance.

They've sucked in the tournament but who was seeded incorrectly from the ACC?

 

[fantasycurse42]

So I guess we're all still gonna pretend a one-game sample is an effective way to judge conference strength again? 

I'm a UNC fan, but it's hard to argue how strong the ACC is when they're being bounced left and right by conferences that were supposed to be weak.

 

[Da Guru]

You can see a 2018 Big Ten champion trapped inside the roster.  But freshmen gonna freshmen.

But without Bridges..he is a first rd pick.

 

[Rirruto]

Someone look up the college bowl season thread when the SEC was getting throat ####ed. I wonder if everyone's opinion on this is consistent.

It would be hard to argue that if you happen to be stupid person who thinks this tournament is the only way to judge a conference's success over the span of a 5-month season. 

 

[Capella]

Last year was the only time in the last 6 or 7 where you could argue another over the SEC. And I'm an FSU guy.

The entire regular season is preparation for this tournament. 

 

[Rirruto]

Can we get the Arkansas players some ####### electrolytes?

 

[fantasycurse42]

UNC gonna lose

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

LET'S GO HOGS!

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

The entire regular season is preparation for this tournament. 

Your shtick in this thread with Gonzaga and now this is horrible.  This tournament is about matchups, momemtum, luck and many other things.  Don't be the clown that claims the 16 best teams are the ones playing next weekend.  They all will have earned their way to the Sweet 16 but stop this nonsense.

 

[Capella]

UNC gonna lose

lol you don't know **** #### about what you're talking about. 

 

[Willie Neslon]

What in the hell is UNC doing in this game? Awful.

 

[need2know]

UNC gonna lose

Yup.  Feels like it to me

 

[fantasycurse42]

lol you don't know **** #### about what you're talking about. 

Yea they look great

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

GET OUT!

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

That kid on the Arkansas bench

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Depends on whether those 6 results support my point of view.

10/10

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

So that was a less-than-productive possession

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Arkansas ball with 1 or 2 seconds on shot clock.  Let's play

 

[fantasycurse42]

Meeks is lucky they didn't call a foul.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

no charge?

eta - guess there was flopping

 

[Capella]

That's embarsssing #33. Jesus. 

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

no charge?

Should have been a block and flop on the replay

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Terrific game

 

[sho nuff]

How was there no foul of any kind there?

Has tone a block or a charge, no?  Possibly even a travel.

 

[tjnc09]

Arkansas getting screwed here 

 

[Pipes]

Travel?

 

[Steve Tasker]

If that's not a foul on that UNC basket, how is it not a travel?

 

[Pipes]

Berry took 4 steps there

 

[Rirruto]

It looked like the UNC guy extended his arm. Should have been a charge. Two bad calls in a row. 

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

If that's not an foul on that UNC basket, how is it not a travel?

That is an excellent question.

 

[tdoss]

Good God...travel, charge...knock a guy down...doesn't matter.

Ref jobbing Arkansas in this 8-0 run.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

It looked like the UNC guy extended his arm. Should have been a charge. Two bad calls in a row. 

Guy was still jumping in his path and not even close to having his feet set

 

[Dedfin]

The fix is in.  Obvious tip by UNC, then next possession no charge called.  THE FIX IS IN

 

[Rirruto]

Guy was still jumping in his path and not even close to having his feet set

That's not the analysis. When you push off with the arm, it's a foul. Barford was correctly called for it earlier. 

 

[Good Posting Judge]

"LOL Arkansas."

- @Dentist

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Someone tell Roy he has 2 fouls to give if it's a 3 point game again

 

[fantasycurse42]

Good thing Roy saved all those timeouts
