NCAA Tournament Recap- Saturday 2nd Round Part 3

9. Northern Iowa over 1. Kansas (69-67)

  • By far the biggest upset of the tournament, and in my opinion the biggest upset since George Mason knocked off Uconn to make the Final Four.
  • Northern Iowa just hung on at the end.  They committed turnover after turnover after turnover as the Jayhawks pressure defense clamped up on the Panthers.  Then, Ali Farokhmanesh said screw it.  Up by only a point with 35 seconds left, Farokhmanesh was wide open on the right-wing beyond the 3-point line.  Instead of holding the ball, drawing a foul, and go to the line, Farokhmanesh put it all on the line as the ball left his  fingertips.  All of the Northern Iowa faithful held their collective breath as the ball hung in the air for what seemed to be an eternity.  Then, jubilation as the ball split the strings.  Northern Iowa hit the knockout blow reminiscent of Buster Douglas.
  • Game Rating- 3 3/4*

3. Baylor over 11. Old Dominion (76-68)

  • Old Dominion rallied in the 2nd half, but Baylor hung on for the win.
  • Baylor lost a 14 point lead in the first half to allow the Monarchs back into the game.  The Bears used a 8-1 run to close to put the Monarchs away.
  • LaceDarius Dunn had 26 for Baylor.  Baylor C Josh Lomers had a career-high 14, 12 in the 2nd half.
  • Game Rating- 2*

11. Washington over 3. New Mexico (82-64)

  • Washington is utilizing their talent at the correct time.  The Huskies continue to win as they pound New Mexico.
  • Washington’s speed just ran past the Lobos.  Quincy Pondexter had 18, and Matthew Bryan-Amaning had 15 points and 9 rebounds.
  • Game Rating- 3/4* 

NCAA Tournament Recap- 2nd Round Saturday Part 2

5. Butler over 13. Murray State (54-52)

  • Murray State wouldn’t go away, but it was Butler’s Ronald Nored’s three-point play with 25.4 away that raced the Racers away.
  • Butler went small in the 2nd half because Matt Howard was plagued with foul trouble.  The Bulldogs outscored Murray State 32-26 in the 2nd half.
  • Butler extends their winning streak to 22, the nation’s longest.
  • Game Rating- 3*

6. Tennessee over 14. Ohio (83-68)

  • Unlike Georgetown, Tennessee actually played defense en route to an easy victory.
  • It’s the 3rd sweet sixteen appearance for Tennesee out of the last 4 years.
  • Tennessee absolutely annihilated the Bobcats in the paint 55-12.  J.P. Prince had 18, while Scotty Hopson put in 17.
  • Game Rating- 1*

NCAA Tournament Recap- Saturday 2nd Round Part 1

10. Saint Mary’s over 2. Villanova (75-68)

  • On paper it was an upset, but after watching these two play on Thursday it really wasn’t.  It was a hard fought game, but St. Mary’s won it late to advance to the sweet 16.  The NCAA Tournament gods must have been watching, especially after the Gaels Mickie McConell banked in a desperation 3 high off the glass with 1:15 to go.  That gave St. Mary’s a 3 point lead. 
  • Villanova’s “weak” frontcourt showed.  The Gael’s F Omar Samhan dominated inside scoring 32 points and grabbing 7 boards. 
  • Villanova star Scottie Reynolds had a forgettable tournament showing.  He had just 8 points on just 9 of 11 shooting.
  • Game Rating- 3 1/4* 

NCAA Tournament Recap- Friday Evening Part 2

  • 4. Maryland over 13. Houston (89-77)
  • Maryland’s freshman forward Jordan Williams picked a good spot to have his best game as a collegian.  He stepped up huge scoring 21 points and grabbed 17 rebounds. 
  • Maryland’s star guard Greivis Vasquez did his usual shindig scoring 16 points, pulling down 7 boards and dishing 6 assists.
  • Houston’s Aubrey Coleman is the leading scorer in the nation at 26 ppg.  He was held to his average of 26 in the contest, although only 10 came in the 2nd half.  He was held without a point for an 11 minute stretch.
  • Game Rating- 2*

8. California over 9. Louisville (77-62)

  • Everyone wanted to see Rick Pitino and Coach K square off in the 2nd round one more time, but like Lee Corso says “not so fast my friend.”  Cal gave some more credibility to the Pac-10 as they cruised to a win.  The Pac-10 is 2-0 in the 1st round.
  • It really never got close, Cal led 22-4 to open the game and closed on a 15-4 run to seal it.
  • Cal’s stars Jerome Randle, Theo Robertson and Patrick Christopher each had solid outings.  Randle and Robertson each had 21, while Christopher had 17.
  • Game Rating- 1*

2. Ohio State over 15. UC Santa Barbara (68-51)

  • It wasn’t the Evan Turner show, he struggled.  It was the Jon Diebler show.  Ohio State never really got a fight, but it was Diebler and Dallas Lauderdale who had good showings.  Diebler poured in 23 hitting 7 from beyond the arc in the process.  Lauderdale was a man-child inside swatting 8 shots and snatched 12 rebounds.
  • Evan Turner was off.  He went 2/12 from the field finishing with just 9 points.
  • Game Rating- 1/2*

1. Syracuse over 16. Vermont (79-56)

  • For the Orange’s sake, T.J. Sorrentine and Taylor Coppenrath have graduated.  Vermont basketball fans will all remember the game when T.J. Sorrentine knocked one down from the parking lot in overtime to upset Syracuse in 2005.  Vermont was a 13 seed at the time, now they’re a 16.  Taylor Coppenrath has been replaced with Marqus Blakely.  Blakely was the same guy who portrayed Vince Carter with that ferocious throwdown against Boston in the America East Title Game. 
  • Anyway, with all that blabber, all I’m saying is that it’s not the same two teams squaring off.  Syracuse cruised to a win in this one, but it was a chance for Vermont fans to reflect and appreciate their 1st round accomplishment, just 5 years ago.

NCAA Tournament Recap- Friday Evening Part 1

5. Michigan State over 12. New Mexico State (70-67)

  • The Spartans led 42-29 at half, but New Mexico State started the 2nd half with an 11-2 run to get right back into the game.  The rest of the half went back and forth like a see-saw. 
  • With 18.6 left, Raymar Morgan was about to take his 2nd free-throw.  He missed, but a “questionable” lane violation was called.  Morgan drained his 2nd attempt to make it a 3-point game.  New Mexico State couldn’t hit a 3 to tie it up, therefore, coming up just short.
  • Kailin Lucas led all scorers with 25 points.
  • Game Rating 3 1/4*

10. Georgia Tech over 7. Oklahoma State (64-59)

  • It was intense, competitive and close.  In the ACC Tournament, the Yellow Jackets implemented a bold strategy, get the ball into the post and in the hands of Gani Lawal and Derrick Favors.  Georgia Tech has tried the strategy all season, but a lot of the time they got impatient and didn’t execute properly. 
  •  The Yellow Jackets defense swarmed the Big 12 Player of the Year James Anderson all night.  He had just 11 points on 3/12 shooting.
  • Game Rating- 3*

8. Gonzaga over 9. Florida State (67-60)

  • Gonzaga played great in the first half, not so great in the 2nd half.  The Zags were up 16 at intermission, and seemed to lose focus in the 2nd half.  Florida State on the other hand was the complete opposite.  The were horrid in the 1st half, and tried to make a surge, but it was simply too late.
  • The Seminoles Deividas Dulkys had 11 points in the final 5 minutes, but it wasn’t enough.
  • Game Rating- 1 3/4*

1. Duke over 16. Arkansas Pine-Bluff (73-44)

  • Well at least Arkansas Pine-Bluff chalked up its 1st ever NCAA Tournament win against Winthrop in the “play-in” game.
  • Game Rating- 1/4*

NCAA Tournament Recap- Friday Afternoon Part 3

5. Texas A+M over 12. Utah State (69-53)

  • Texas A+M looked impressive in their dominant win over Utah State. 
  • When Texas A+M guard Derrick Roland went down in a gruesome leg injury in December, the Aggies took a step back.  Freshman Khris Middleton was put into the starting lineup, and he’s been solid.  Against Utah State, Middleton scored a career high 19 points.
  • Game Rating- 3/4* 

NCAA Tournament Recap- Friday Afternoon Part 2

4. Purdue over 13. Siena (72-64)

  • This was the trendy upset pick, I mean Siena was supposed to win.  Purdue has talent even without Hummel, ever heard of E’twaun Moore, Jujuan Johnson?  Siena won their last 2 1st round tournament games, but Kenny Hasbrouk isn’t coming through the tunnell anymore.  I was flabbergasted that everyone just gave up on Purdue.  Even without Hummell, this team can make a run.
  • Jujuan Johnson dominated inside, scoring 23 points and snatching 15 rebounds.
  • Siena made a valient comeback late, but Purdue held on.
  • Game Rating- 2 1/2*

10. Missouri over 7. Clemson (86-78)

  • Poor Oliver Purnell, he still can’t get that elusive NCAA Tournament win.  He’s now 0-6.
  • Missouri’s “Fastest 40 Minutes in Basketball” forced 20 Clemson turnovers, 15 of them steals.  Missouri had only 9 turnovers.
  • Game Rating- 2*

4. Wisconsin over 13. Wofford (53-49)

  • Wofford was pesky in their 1st NCAA Tournament Appearence.  Wofford was pummeled early on, but in the 2nd half, they scratched and clawed their way back into it.  The game went back and forth the last 10 minutes, but Wisconsin’s Jon Leuer hit a key shot late to give the Badgers the bucket they needed to advance.  Leuer’s two free-throws with 4.2 left sealed the win.
  • Leuer had 20, and Trevon Hughes chipped in 19.
  • Game Rating- 3*

3. Pittsburgh over 14. Oakland (89-66)

  • Pitt’s defense just overmatched Oakland’s offense.  The Grizzlies shot just 33% from the field and 4/21 from beyond the arc.
  • Oakland’s Derick Nelson took a nasty flailing elbow to the face in the first half which halted the game for several minutes.  Nelson lost a lot of blood, but did come back into the game in the 2nd half.  The elbow was incidental.
  • Game Rating- 1/2*

NCAA Tournament Recap- Friday Afternoon Part 1

12. Cornell over 5. Temple (78-65)

  • It seemed liked Cornell couldn’t miss, especially in the 1st half where the Big Red shot 68% from the field.  Temple is one of the best defenses in the country, but it simply didn’t matter.  Cornell was that efficient offensively. 
  • Fran Dunphy is now 1-12 in first round tournament games, including 3 straight tournament losses at Temple.
  • It was the final chance for Cornell’s Louis Dale, Ryan Wittman and Jeff Foote after  losing in the Big Red’s last 2 tournament appearances.
  • I have a serious man crush on Ryan Wittman’s 3 point stroke, it’s so pretty.
  • It was the Ivy League’s 1st tournament win since 1998 when Princeton won a tournament game.
  • Game Rating- 1 1/4*

6. Xavier over 11. Minnesota (65-54)

  • The combatants were tied at 26 at half, but Xavier pulled away in the 2nd half to dispatch the Golden Gophers.
  • Xavier’s Jordan Crawford took over in the 2nd stanza, netting 17 of his 28 points.
  • Xavier has now won 4 straight 1st round tournament games
  • Game Rating 1 3/4*

2. West Virginia over 15. Morgan State (77-50)

  • West Virginia continued their trend of getting off to slow starts against Morgan State starting the game 0-11 from the field, and trailing 10-0.  The Mountaineers found their stride and wound up whalloping Morgan State.
  • WVU’s Kevin Jones had a game-high 17 points; Devin Ebanks had 16 points to go along with some impressive stuffs.
  • Game Rating- 1/2*

NCAA Tournament Recap- Thursday Evening Part 2

9. Wake Forest over 8. Texas (81-80 OT)

  • I guess when you have two disappointing teams during the regular season, you get a decent tournament game.  Ishmael Smith, arguably the fastest guard in the country pulled up and nailed a jumper with 1.3 left to give Wake the win.
  • In the overtime period, Texas was up by 8 points, and then Damion James fouled out.  It seemed to turn the game around in the overtime stanza. 
  • Wake had lost 5 of 6 games entering the tournament.
  • Game Rating- 3 1/4*

6. Tennessee over 11. San Diego State (62-59)

  • Tennessee fans were disappointed with their seeding, but frankly Tennessee played quite well.  Next is 14th seeded Ohio, so maybe Tennessee gets a break, or maybe not. We shall see.
  • Melvin Goins hit a key 3 late to put the Volunteers “over the hump.”
  • J.P. Prince had 15
  • Game Rating- 3*

3. New Mexico over 14. Montana (62-57)

  • The Lobos were up for much of the 2nd half, but Montana just wouldn’t go away.  Brian Qvale kept the Grizzlies in the game scoring 26 a career-high 26 points.
  • Anthony Johnson, who netted 42 in the Big Sky Championship Game, had only 1 field goal.  It came with less than 2 minutes in the game.
  • Roman Martinez led all scorers for New Mexico.  He had 19.
  • Game Rating- 2 1/4*

 1. Kansas over 16. Lehigh (90-76)

  • It was close for a half, then Kansas put the foot on the pedal.  It was an extravagant effort from Lehigh.
  • Lehigh is a sleeper to look at the next couple of years with C.J. McCollum returning.  He’s only a freshman.
  • Game Rating 3/4*

NCAA Tournament Recap- Thursday Evening Part 1

Is the Big East overrated?  We’ve now seen 3 Big East teams go down, and Villanova played horribly. 

14.Ohio over 3. Georgetown (97-83)

  • Georgetown has had as many ups and downs this year as Tiger Woods.  There’s been good Geogetown with their showing in the Big East Tournament, and the win over Duke.  Then there’s bad Georgetown, losing to Rutgers, Old Dominion and now 14th seeded Ohio.  The image of shock on the Georgetown bench after the game tells the complete story.  There was abolute dejection.  I was just waiting for a comeback, and it never came.
  • Ohio was the better team, and Armon Bassett was the main reason why.  He had 32 points.
  • This has been a remarkable turnaround for Ohio.  They were 7-9 in the freakin’ MAC.  Where did this turnaround come from?  It must have been the NCAA Tournament gods and the magic of March. 
  • With the win, Ohio chalks up their first tournament win in 27 years.
  • Game Rating- 2 1/2* 

11. Washington over 6. Marquette (80-78)

  • The upsets keep coming, and the Big East keeps losing.  This time it’s Marquette.  The Golden Eagles won all the close games late in the season, but they couldn’t get it tonight.  Quincy Pondexter hit the winner with 1.7 left.
  • In a game of runs, it was Washington storming back from a 15 point deficit in the 2nd half to pull out a win.
  • The Big East is 1-3 to start the tournament.
  • Game Rating- 3 1/4*

9. Northern Iowa over 8. UNLV (69-66)

  • Northern Iowa’s Ali Faroukmanesh has some serious range.  From about 25 feet, Mr. Faroukmanesh hit nothing but bottom from about 25 feet with 5 seconds left to give the Panthers the win.
  • Faroukmanesh had 17 points, hitting 5 from deep.
  • Game Rating- 3 1/4*

1. Kentucky over 16. East Tennessee State (100-71)

  • East Tennessee State had a fine showing as a 16 seed last year.  This 1 seed had a bit more talent.
  • Game Rating- 1/4*

NCAA Tournament Recap- Thursday Afternoon Part 3

5. Butler over 12. UTEP (77-59)

  • Butler dominated the 2nd half en route to an easy 77-59 win.  The Bulldogs were down 6 at halftime. 
  • G Shelvin Mack hit 7 3’s.  He had 25 points with 18 coming in the 2nd stanza.
  • Derrick Caracter led the Miners with 20 points.
  • Game Rating- 1*

NCAA Tournamnet Recap- Thursday Afternoon Part 2

We had another upset and the first buzzer beater of the tournament.

13. Murray State over 4. Vanderbilt (66-65)

  • Danero Thomas hit a jumper at the buzzer to upend Vanderbilt.  Jubilation followed as the rest of the Murray State players piled on top of Thomas on the other end of the floor.   This is the Racers first NCAA Tournament win in 24 years when former NBA Player Popeye Jones starred.
  • Murray State won the battle of the boards, snatching down 39 to Vandy’s 33.  15 of the 39 were offensive rebounds.
  • With 12.7 left, Jermaine Beal knocked down 2 clutch free-throws to give the Commodores a 65-64 advantage, but obviously it wasn’t enough.
  • Game Rating- 3 1/2*

Danero Thomas

(Danero Thomas game-winner)

3. Baylor over 14. Sam Houston State (68-59)

  • Tied at 55 with approximately 3 minutes left, Baylor outscored Sam Houston State 13-4 in the final minutes to dispatch the Bearkats by 9. 
  • The Bears simply struggled from the field, shooting just 25% from beyond the arc.  Tweety Carter had a season-low 2 points.
  • Ekpe Udoh carried Baylor to a win as the backcourt struggled.  Udoh scored 20 and pulled down 13 rebounds.
  • Game Rating- 2 1/4*

10. Saint Mary’s over 7. Richmond (80-71)

  • Saint Mary’s inside-outside balance was too much for the Spiders as the Gaels cruised in the 2nd half to a 9 point win.
  • Despite being in foul trouble for most of the game, Gaels F Omar Samhan still finished the contest with 29 points and 12 rebounds.  Saint Mary’s Mickie McConnell knocked down 5 3-pointers with his signature rainbow jumper.
  • Richmond got the production from Kevin Anderson and David Gonzalvez, but the role-players of Richmond could’nt get anything done.
  • Game Rating- 2*

2. Kansas State over 15. North Texas (82-62)

  • Kansas State led from start to finish in the only “blowout” of the day thus far.
  • Denis Clemente led the Wildcats in scoring with 17.
  • Game Rating- 1/2*  

NCAA Tournament 1st Round Recap- Thursday Afternoon Part 1

WOW!  Can you remember three games to open the tournament that were so highly contested?

7. BYU over 10. Florida (99-92 2 OT)

  • Jimmer Fredette scores 37 points in 2 overtimes to carry BYU over Florida in the 1st game of the tournament.   
  • It was a game of runs and Florida had their chances.  Florida had the last shot in both regulation and overtime, but were unable to convert.
  • Florida was down 12 with less than 9 minutes to go, but Kenny Boynton started to light it up.  He finished with 26 points.
  • Game Rating- 3 1/4*

11. Old Dominion over 6. Notre Dame (51-50)

  • The first upset of the tournament as the Old Dominion Monarchs extinguished the red-hot Irish.  The Monarchs rallied from a 9 point 1st half deficit. 
  • Notre Dame had a chance to tie with seconds remaining, but Carleton Scott’s 3 rolled around the rim and out.
  • Old Dominion played a smart and savy second half, shooting 52.6% in the 2nd half.
  • In his final NCAA Basketball game, Luke Harangody finished with just 4 points. 
  • Game Rating- 3*

2. Villanova over 15. Robert Morris (73-70 OT)

  • The best game so far.  Robert Morris led for most of the game, but after some “questionable” officiating, Villanova came storming back and sent the game into overtime.  You have to give Villanova G Scottie Reynolds credit for hitting the important foul shots down the stretch.
  • Reynolds finished with 20 points, but shot just 2/15 from the field.  He was 15/16 from the line.
  • It was truly a valiant effort from Robert Morris.  G Keron Abraham played his heart out scoring 23 points for the Colonials.
  • Game Rating- 3 3/4*

NCAA TOURNAMENT PREVIEW- South Region

3 Players to Watch

  • Gerald Lee (Old Dominion)- A very skilled bigman (6′10 250).  ODU’s offense runs through him.  Made 1st Team All-Conference averaging 14.32 points and 5.06 reb a night.
  • Kevin Anderson (Richmond)- Extremely quick with the drive who can also shoot.  He averaged 17.8 ppg during the regular season.
  • Ronald Moore (Siena)- Leads the nation in assists and leads an excellent fastbreak.  Isn’t afraid to take big shots either.  Just watch the Ohio State/Siena NCAA Tournament 1st Round game from last season.
