I’ve watched a lot of tape. They do a good job scoring a bunch of points and not letting opponents do the same. 

Can you tell they have that “it” factor? That’s when you know you’re elite at scouting basketball

I'm going to write the NCAA a sternly worded letter. Friday through Monday sucks ass and the timing of the games sucks ass. Today is anticlimactic and lame. After a weekend of 48 games back to back to back, the entirety of today has been watching Oregon destroy Iowa and Gonzaga destroy Oklahoma. That's all that's happened since 11am tipoff. 

They killed Thursday March Madness for this terrible shit.

Can they "score the basketball?"  That's also key.  Some teams are good at scoring the clipboard or scoring the Powerade bottle, but the best teams are the ones that score the basketball.

Today's schedule is no different from the old format though.

This really is terrible -- it's so terrible that I have actually gotten some work done.

They also do the little things.

People still think it's 2006 and Adam Morrison just graduated.

Even going back that far, they pretty much always play to their seed. The only times they've really been "upset" are when they ran into a team that was Final Four bound (a good team peaking) or a team that had Steph Curry on it.

They are allowed a lot of contact and hand checking with ACU. 

Yep. I specifically remember Steve Smith talking about the intense defense they play while a replay was rolling underneath his analysis and the ACU player was literally hand-fighting Ramey as he dribbled up the court.

Weird how now everything isn’t banking off the glass for ACU 🙄🙄

They missed 71% of their shots in our game and scored 53 points.  They are doing the exact same fucking thing here.  Difference this coach isn't a stupid ass with no plan or idea how to adjust on the offensive side to deal with their gimmicky bullshit.  Fuck Shaka

We lost to a team whose coach has the herp and gimmmicky defense that UCLA figured out in 5 minutes. 

And by "figured it out" you mean they employed the innovation of a backdoor cut every now and then or even something really high level like an off ball screen.

No disagreement. But damn they threw up some shit that banked in that’s hitting the rim and bouncing off this time.
