Can't put out a list of games, running late to an event I have to be at in five minutes. If someone else wants to toss a list up there for today AND tomorrow, that would be great. If not, no big deal.

Michigan is shredding VCU's press with ease. So much for all that talk about how "Havoc" is going to fluster Burke and company. If anything, it has played into Michigan's hands because they're getting such easy looks after breaking it because of how disorganized VCU has been defensively after the press.

 

McGary is laying some brutal screens today. Holy crap. They're completely legal, but he is absolutely crushing dudes. I think that was the 3rd time he's floored somebody in the first half.

Glad VCU is getting dominated and we won't have to hear everybody drooling over Shaka Smart for another week.

 

Don't get me wrong, he is a good coach and all, but I'm glad I won't have to hear about his greatness anymore.

 

Impressive performance from Michigan. That two point guard lineup with Albriecht being the primary ball handler and Burke playing off the ball was the difference in this game (and I guess the play of McGary who's been fantastic). Michigan broke the game open int he 1st half when they went with that lineup and then did the same in the 2nd half again.

 

This isn't too much of a surprise, though. I didn't expect a blowout like this, but I did think Michigan would win this fairly easily. If VCU can't force turnovers they don't win and I didn't expect them to be able to control the tempo against this Michigan team.

I'm not shocked that VCU lost, but didn't expect them to get dominated. Ignorant idea to press as much as they did...far too aggressive, and while they couldn't recover after all of those unsuccessful traps, they also ran out of gas early. Not that I really care though, lol.

 

Thanks for the list of games, Sean.

I thought after Michigan burned them the first 10 times they would change their plan.  Honestly shocked that they didn't switch up the game plan.  Arizona is [expletive]ing up Harvard early

Problem is that the only way VCU had any shot of winning was with the pressure and forcing Michigan into turnovers.

 

That is basically the only way VCU has any shot of winning against any half decent team. If they can't force turnovers and get easy baskets off those turnovers, they don't win games against any above average team.

 

So yeah, it bit them in the ass today but even if they stopped with the pressure I still don't think the result is any different. Michigan would've still blown them out, especially playing like they did today. If Michigan plays like they did today, the only team I could see beating them would be Lousiville.

 

Of course, Michigan likely doesn't play a better game all tournament long than they did today, so that likely won't be a real factor.

Gonzaga's inability to get the ball inside to either Olynyk or Harris is a big concern. They've got some capable shooters on the perimeter, but if they aren't running their offense through the bigs, they aren't nearly as good as they can be. If they continue to live on the perimeter, I'm going to be worried.

The sports gods must absolutely hate me.

 

Leafs haven't made the playoffs in almost a decade.

 

Raptors are a futureless mess who hasn't made the playoffs in 5 years.

 

Blue Jays last playoff appearance I was 1 year old.

 

Kendall Marshall fractures his wrist last year, eliminating any hope of UNC winning it all.

 

Gonzaga finally looks to have a legitimate shot at a National Championship and Wichita State hits 7 3's in a row to knock them out.

 

 

To be fair, Gonzaga doesn't deserve to really win this game anyways. They played like complete shit for about 30 of 40 minutes in this game. Just really sucks to see them play so well all season long and then have arguably their 2 worst games of the year when it matters most. Even with them playing poorly, they're a Shockers 3 point barrage away from going to the Sweet Sixteen.

 

Oh well, at least I have UNC to cheer for for another, what, 14 hours? :lol:

^You just had to bring up Kendall Marshall huh? :sorry:

 

Carolina has to go absolutely nuts from 3 to beat Kansas. McAdoo won't be able to do much down low against Withey (unless Carolina somehow gets him into foul trouble), need Paige to continue to step up and take and make big shots, but it will take tremendous outside shooting for Carolina to beat them.
