NCAA Tournament Thread

Yes, I know. I was only addressing the level of the American Conference.. I probably should have said a higher seeded team in the dance.

SMU could've legitimately made the sweet 16.

#10 seed Syracuse beats #1 seed Virginia by 6 to advance to the Final Four. Out scored Virginia by 20 in the 2nd half.

Texas A&M and Syracuse used a full court press to get back and win games.

Teams don't practice press offense enough and a good full court press still can overcome a half court mismatch. Nolan was the best at this.

Coaching adjustments are why Boeheim is a top rated coach and why Wojcik is still looking for an assistants job.

Cannot stand Boeheim but he can certainly coach.

Boeheim can teach a great zone. I'd much rather see Haith teach something closer to Vitginia's defense with the quick trap when the other team sets a screen. They get a lot of turnovers that way and if you have any athleticism it leads to a lot of run outs. It's been pretty effective for Virginia since Bennett got there.

I stopped watching at around the 10 minute mark....
Syracuse bores me.

 

[I.I.]

Can we eliminate the timeouts called while lying on the floor ? Like the timeouts called while falling out of bounds.
