NCAA Tournament and Bracket

What a defensive performance by Drake so far, holding the high octane Missouri offense to just 28 points in the first 28 minutes.

Drake is what a true all wing lineup looks like. Everyone on the roster is 6'3 to 6'9, they switch screens, get in passing lanes, and everyone on the floor is capable of rebounding and slashing to the rim. What they lack in post defense they make up in other areas.

Lahkin commits a foul and then talks to the opponent to get a T. Fouls out with 6 points.

Standard stuff for him it seems.

Vic looked a lot like the guy we knew in that game, except for the ten rebounds.

Dayton also got a 1st round win in the NIT over FAU. It is somewhat numbing that UC beat both Xavier and Dayton and they are having better seasons than UC.

Maybe they are or maybe they are playing in lesser leagues. The ACC is down this year and so is the Big East. Clemson is the highest seed to fall so far. Houston has the only real blowout. However, Wisconsin and Auburn easily took care of business.

Clemson scored 13 first half points. Like UC against NKU a couple years ago.

Some great games in Dayton aside from the UNC blowout.

. You know why.

Looking at shot selection among tournament teams, the older generation of coaches really stands out. Sampson, Izzo, Pitino, Few, Self, and Bennett's teams all take under 35% of their shots from three, well below average. They refuse to change and I love that. Basketball is more interesting when there are distinct styles. We'll see how it translates to the tournament. It's becoming more difficult every year to win without the three ball.
