FAU takes it from Memphis. Crazy game. FAU for real.

March Madness is so much fun

Watching Frank Haith walking to the locker room after a loss is righteous.

FAU takes it from Memphis. Crazy game. FAU for real.

Memphis was a train wreck the last 5 minutes, players going into the game without checking in, several different teammates openly fighting with each other.

Kent State just unraveling. Worst I have seen them look since the 2nd half of the Houston game.

Penny isn’t a good coach.

Penny isn’t a good coach.

I don’t think that’s a fair assessment.

He’s 111-52 with 68% win percentage in his first 5 years, with an AAC championship & has put 5 players in the NBA.

He turned the program around back to being a destination spot for recruits after the Tubby Smith debacle.

Tournament games are complete one-offs, I don’t think you can necessarily judge a coach strictly based on an early tourney exist. March Madness is complete randomness & mayhem by design, even the absolute best teams & coaches get beat in the tournament when it’s least expected.

Interesting that they had a 4/5 matchup of UVA and SDSU set up. Two very similar styles. Furman gets 2 of the tougher defenses in the 1st weekend.

I’m not saying he hasn’t done good things. But he benefits from being in a very weak conference. And one offs or not, I don’t believe his style is built for success in the tournament. They are chaos at the end of every close game. They lack composure and discipline.

Lock of the day was SDSU. They beat up a better CoC team.

Tenn vs Duke, hoping Tennessee pulls this one out.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Duke is getting jobbed by the refs. Something that’s never happened in the history of basketball.

That foul call on Roach though that got switched to Proctor…I mean come on

 

[Cane since 1060]

Curtains for Duke what a shame🫠

 

[Cane since 1060]
