🏀 MARCH MADNESS Round of 32 Day 1 - 2026 Thread

Yes, cookies is when you steal the ball one-on-one from the dribbler, I said cookies when Chance got the steal before halftime against Miami

Tons of VPI alums in CLT, but they weren’t there to watch their season go down in flames.

I think Byington’s a bitch for being mad at the committee for putting Nebraska (a protected seed) 400 miles from home.

(And I hate Nebraska too — but there’s nothing like the screwjob we got in Birmingham.)

A Hoiberg team missing two front-ends in crunchtime is pretty improbable.

C’mon, Vandy. I have you beating FLA and my bracket is spectacular so far.

Edit - Took the pic for posterity before the final score, because its probably all downhill from here:

[crazysportsdude]

Brutal last possession there from Vandy

[Playgroundhoo]

What a great game. So much so that I double posted about it in the other thread accidentally, too…

[Playgroundhoo]

OMG can’t believe that stayed out…what a game…so well played by both teams…

[lodger96]

I thought that was going in.

I’m in a Calcutta with Nebraska and Santa Clara. Would have been brutal to have lost on two half-court heaves.

Two bangers to close out the evening here. That Vandy final heave, but Nebraska moves on. And High Point back-n-forth with Arkansas.

[crazysportsdude]

One of the best games of the year for sure

[zvillehoo]

Do the over-inflated ball cost us one of the greatest shots in the history of the sport?

[gcoles13]

Hoiberg looked like he wanted to kill that kid in the interview who was messing with him. Lol

[lodger96]

Honestly, just happy Nickel is out. Anyone who’s played in Blacksburg and Chapel Hill is deserving of any Hoo’s disdain, regardless of his status as a Virginian.

[crazysportsdude]

Man Arkansas’ defense is baaad

[lodger96]

Which is tough to believe in light of how good his defenses were in Amherst, Memphis, and Lexington.

[crazysportsdude]

High Point shot selection down the stretch going to bail Cal out

[bhc3]

Dallin Hall would have been at least 2-8…

Miles killed them tonight. 2-10 from the field, 1-8 from three, and he threw in 4 turnovers as well.
