Hard to believe this is Northwestern's 1st ever NCAA tourney. How does a B1G school go all those decades with that much futility?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

This game was just so obvious

NW never really cared about hoops until a few years ago.

I'd guess admissions was part of it.

Well that would be my excuse too but I don't really buy it

 

[BugsyCT]

This game is really getting good.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Wow really coming down to the wire NW vs Vandy

 

[Robertelamin]

wow

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Holy crap brain fart vandy

 

[BugsyCT]

Vandy intentionally fouls up 1. Unreal.

Poor kid will never live that down.

 

[Walker11]

These teams suck for 8/9 seeds. Roscoe Smith esque play from the Vandy kid. Tough to live that one down.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

That goes down as one of the boneheaded plays of all time

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Definitely off Vandy

 

[awfuldan]

Wow.. unbelievably bad finish for Vanderbilt

NW over Gonzaga.

 

[billybud]

What was Princeton thinking?...down by 1...only 07 seconds on the clock...they go for three...and miss.

Drive for 2, get fouled, anything but that 3 attempt..

 

[beakumhawks]

Tons of stupid on the part of Vandy there. And NW should have missed that last free throw on pupose.

 

[Walker11]

NW over Gonzaga.

Good luck with that prediction.

 

[Robertelamin]

I can't remember UConn ever doing anything that dumb.

Disagree. Nwestern is pretty decent. I bet they give the zags a game.

It kinda looked like he tried. It seems like pretty often people make when they try to miss.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Good luck with that prediction.

THANK YOU

And of course as the Vandy kid is fouling him needlessly, you can see his coach looking up the court not even focusing on the foul being committed in front of him.

 

[beakumhawks]

Why in the fudge did the Vandy coach burn all his timeouts early in the second half. More Vandy stupid.

Is anybody else getting as sick and tired of guys pulling up and taking a deep, out-of-their-range 3-point shot at the end of games when it is not needed as I am? It is so freakin' annoying!

Just saw it for the 2nd time today... now a guy from Vanderbilt. This one was even worse than the Princeton player earlier (although that one was stupid and selfish as well), because this kid just dribbled and dribbled until he pulled up from 28 to 30 feet and heaved it - missing, of course. Both guys were thinking the same thing - "look at me as I swish a 3-pointer to win the game for my team. I'm gonna be on SportsCenter!" Instead of getting a much better shot by passing to an open teammate closer to the basket.

You are losing by 1 point. 1 POINT! A lay up or put back or short jump shot wins you the game just as much as these asinine 3-point heaves do... at a much better percentage.

Everyone wants to be a HERO - I hate HERO BALL! Too much watching and wanting to be a highlight on SportsCenter.
