NCAA Tournament 2019 Discussion

[daveg023]

Losing to NC State or Wisconsin as 8 seeds are not good losses if you are a 1 seed in my opinion.

This is a truly pathetic post-season BE performance. If you don't think it affects all the teams in the league negatively in terms of recruiting and otherwise, I've got a bridge to Rosslyn that's for sale.     

Reading comprehension is key. You really think the BE narrative for this one season hinges on the result of this one game? I guess I have a a sale of a bridge from DC to the moon just waiting for your signature...

I didn't say that. "Post-season BE performance" goes well beyond one game.

I remember seeing Garza at some Hoya games behind the bench when he was at Maret. Don't recall whether we offered or not. And don't forget (or maybe you want to forget) that Chuck Driesell was an assistant at Georgetown under Esherick.

Yes he had an offer from Georgetown (high school class of 2017).

Would have been a good get. Hasn’t had a great day, but showed a nice series of moves in the post to get a layup, then a possession later fought hard for position and got a 4th on Schofield and earn free throws.

[SSHoya]

Quite a comeback, win or lose for Iowa.

[DanMcQ]

Luca Garza has the low post game that would make Jessie Govan a sure fire pro.

[SSHoya]

Terrible call on that foul. Karma on Turner's 3.

[iowa80]

Weber calling for a "hard Princeton back-cut" on Tennessee's last play before OT. Rick Barnes dials up a long jumper.


Great game.  Barnes to first Sweet 16 since '08.

Again, reading comprehension.....

Were you or were you not responding to the post you quoted? Maybe you did so by mistake

We are talking past one another (while, BTW, you are lecturing me on reading comprehension).  At the risk of dragging this out, I didn't say anything to bring this on: "You really think the BE narrative for this one season hinges on the result of this one game?"  You could also check (again) that I said "Post-season BE performance" to include but obviously not limited to 'Nova.  It's probably also worth noting, though, it's more than one game. 'Nova's loss takes them out of the running for deeper advancement that might have helped the narrative a bit, and obviously implicates more than one game if they had the opportunity for Sweet 16 and beyond.

Noah Dickerson has been impressive. High motor. I remember when we had a shot at him but hadn’t followed his career much.

Just because you got lost doesn’t mean we’re talking past one another. I asked you a yes or no question and you couldn’t even give an answer. Good job. Maybe reread the original post you quoted (daveg023) and you’ll be able to piece together where you began losing focus on the topic of discussion.

Recruiting prospect Tacko Fall!!!

[Elvado]

Williamson has committed 3 fouls already and was called for 1.

Shocking.

Noah, lost a lot of weight.  So I'm sure that helped him out big time.  IIRC, he'd committed to the Hoyas but backed out of it.

Pretty much nonresponsive, but I am happy for the homework to fill in while hoping to see Dook go down  Forgive me if I have better things to do, however.  Not only that, I'll make your day.  In the interest of the board, You Win!! (Cue confetti).

Just to put a couple posts together, since I didn't realize this, but the early afternoon games were apparently a show case of big men whose second choice was Georgetown.

Iowa-Tennessee: Luka Garza: Last fall, Iowa emerged the winner, with Garza choosing the Hawkeyes over nearby Georgetown after forming an early bond with coach Fran McCaffery.

Washington-UNC: Noah Dickerson: Four-star big Noah Dickerson decommits from Georgetown

UCF-Duke: Tacko Fall: 7-foot-6 Tacko Fall commits to UCF, picking Knights over Georgetown

Additionally, TTU-Duke features Tariq Owens who took an interesting road to TTU and is in his fifth year, but putting up 9.2/6.4 in Big 12 play this year is not exactly the "A-10 talent" the recruiting thread had him as.

Oregon in the late game will have Paul White playing a bunch of minutes as well.

Sure some folks more familiar with recruiting could fill in any gaps here.

UCF about to get hosed.

[Elvado]

Happily wrong

[SSHoya]

Blown layup.
