Was just telling a buddy how the second round is way better than the first. The Sweet 16/Elite 8 weekend is typically my favorite though.
It’s by far where the tears flow the hardest. At least chuckles just gets to be a little sad at the first round exit again. Losing in the S16 and on usually has players crying, fans crying, joy on the other side all over the place. Arizona knocking off #1 Kansas in 1997 sums it up
Go to 1:19:10

Agreed. I wish they’d start one between the 12:45 and 3:15 games.
Same with tomorrow. One between 12:10 and 2:45 would be nice.

Those games are generally more competitive, and I certainly love those rounds 2.
But R2 has a mostly full all day volume for the weekend, with such a fun chance for the lower level schools. Something like 11 state and 14 Oakland playing for the S16. So entertaining.
GOHLKE
State making some bad mistakes.
Gohlke knows how to navigate the floor.
His form is not good though, but I guess it works lol.
Come on get a stop Oakland
Come on NC state win.
I have no idea who’s going to pull this out.
squeaky bum time at PPG Paints Arena
Oakland buzzer beater incoming.
Everyone talking about state touching the ball forgetting the fact that the Oakland guy still has the ball in his hands.
Gene Steratore the voice of reason here.
Good call by the refs.
And wow.
I deleted it cause I doubted myself, but yeah
REFS
I love Burns lol big fella is a beast
Rocky Top trying to pick up the SEC's slack
at the half
35.4 possessions
Texas: 0.54 ppp
Rocky Top: 0.79 ppp
* 31.1% TO% for Texas
Burns is one of the most enjoyable non-duke players I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Sometimes he's a bull in a China shop and other times he's sooooooo smooth.
Oakland is pure ass. These are some of the worst announcers I've heard.
an NCSU vs UNC title game would be the tits
ACC reigns supreme. Even though I still hate state.
Feel like States run is being undersold
