Kentucky narrowly escaped a first round bounce! But that’s OK…there’s no way the freshman trio of Lamb, Jones and Knight play that badly again in the tourney. At least, I hope not! 🙂 ---

> [@Darth\_Sensitive](#): > > Luke Schenscher. > > Georgia Tech. Oh yeah, the big guy from…Australia, I think it was. I remember him. Well, what’s left of the ACC tips off today, can’t wait. Kyrie Irving is supposed to play for Duke, that ought to be interesting. And I sure hope my 'Heels don’t dig themselves into one of the holes they kept winding up in during the ACC Tourney. Yesterday’s games were _nuts_ - seemed like every one was going down to the last minute. You can hardly afford to just walk through even the early games, that’s how brackets get busted. ---

So many experts picked Belmont to dump Wisconsin in the first round, based quite a bit on Wisconsin’s freakishly bad shooting performance in the Big 10 tournament. But what they forgot was that Bo Ryan does not lose in the First round. This is five years in a row they have won their first round game. What they also forgot is that Wisconsin might have the best pure point guard in the country in Jordan Taylor and guard play is extremely important in the tourney. ---

To me, that sort of indicates the players had quit on the coach. How could you possibly be playing hard and only give up one free throw all game? Just desire and effort on defense will land you two fouls a game minimum. ---

> [@Bijou\_Drains](#): > > I don’t think Bruce Pearl is going to have a job this time next week. Some of the dudes on the N.C. State fan boards are already putting Bruce’s name in the hat of acceptable possible replacements for Sidney Lowe. Then again, they also want Rick Barnes. Yeah, good luck with that, guys. ---

I am irrationally pleased that Michigan lost. It’s irrational because I went to Michigan. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/college-basketball-omnibus-thread/559166.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/college-basketball-omnibus-thread/559166.md?page=4)
