NCAA Tournament

What’s the difference between the Notre Dame Irish and the Iona Gaels?










The Irish do the drinking, and
The Gaels do the hurling
 
Valiant effort, but the Gaels didn’t have the horses. A bit sloppy in the second half as well.

I think we’re at least as good as Bama.
 
Iona doesn’t have the depth to keep up.

Iona doesn't have the basketball smarts to "keep up". Ridiculously piss poor shot selection, particularly #2 and his great 1-4 gazillion from beyond the arc.

He is one helluva coach.

Yep. And shooting 3’s with too much time left and no one under the bucket to rebound. They took way to long to set up a shot. But it’s over and Bama advances.

Sooners down by one to Missouri at half. Not many fouls. Missouri shot zero free throws. Refs not calling the little ticky tack stuff. Good. Pretty good D by OU. Evenly matched teams as you might expect from their seeding.
 
Per Bryant Gumbel, our game will now also be on TNT (as well as “TRU TV”). The cancelled Oregon v VCU game was set for TNT coverage.
 
OU is playing some tight D. Sooners up by 4. 11 minutes left. Unlike the first half, the second half is turning into a foul fest.

Update. Sooners up by 3. Under 4 minutes left. OU is getting and making plenty of free throws.

Missouri made a critical turnover. OU hitting their shots and free throws. Up by 8. 2 minutes left. Sooners will win. Big 12 undefeated.

Update. OU up by 8 about a minute left.

It’s a final. OU wins by 4. Mabel was clutch late in the game.

Are they going to move the Gonzaga game from TBS? They are still in the first half and Texas tips off in a few minutes.

Dam now I am really nervous about our game! Unbelievable that so many teams from one conference would advance past first round. Although it was nice of Ohio to get the big upset of the day out of the way.
 
We know what is at stake tonight. Shaka’s first NCAA win, B12 undefeated first round, etc.
 
Barkley is cracking me up. We need some of his levity in this tense time of ethnic strife.

Talking about how “that big White kid” was playing well—“What, what, I can’t remember his name... [laughing]”

Other (uptight) announcer scolding him - “We ought to bring back the fine jar on you, Charles.”
