23 NCAA Tournament Thread

This team has swag. Warranted or not they are not going to die.

 

Say this for FDU, those guys obviously aren’t very good, but they’re just competing their asses off and it’s got FAU flustered a bit this half.

 

B12 is kind of struggling this year though.

 

That's game.

 

cmon refs. America wants Fairleigh

 

FAUs defense sucks. Wish we had somebody good off the dribble.

 

FDU has been fun as all get out.

 

We should win Thursday night, but their ability to shit in a bunch of threes is worrying. It's also a wide open path for the Vols in which we traditionally [uck fay] up. A winnable Elite 8 would be a dream, I hope we get there.

 

Sir Charles everyone

 

Only Dolly Parton is a greater national treasure. The fact he is so willing to not take himself seriously is the greatest thing (Ahem, Shaq).

 

Indiana doing a lot of standing around watching Miami rebound

 

It hasn’t paid off in football, but John Ruiz is getting his money’s worth on this basketball team he bought.

 

So based on what we’ve seen, how should we play FAU?

 

hard, imo

 

Twss

 

Bully em. We might have to go smaller. But we can be versatile

 

Don't run a ragged ass press which gives them innumerable 2 on 1s once they break it. Be physical, put Mashack on #1, Vesco on their other scoring guard, and have them harass the shit out of them. Exploit their 7 footer, he's not ready for the type of physicality he's going to get Thursday night. Post up JJJ and Olivier. Take care of the ball.

 

FDU was #350 in defense on KenPom

 

My favorite part(s) were the looks that Greg Gumbel was giving throughout.

 

The anticipation.
