NCAAT - UConn (5) vs New Mexico St (12) - Thurs 6:50pm

[kayako]

They shot 64% from the 3. Shit happens in the NCAAT.

Teddy Allen scored 37. He was a Nebraska high school legend playing for BoysTown - yes, that BoysTown. He was always a hothead and the fact that he has been at 5 schools and was even run out of Nebraska who is terrible, makes this so interesting. He was always a volume scorer, but I never imagined that he would beat UConn single handedly.

But also, UConn's offense has flipped between great one possession and crappy the next, nothing in between.

They were like that all season.

Very true.

UConn will win by 25.

This is the surest win in the first round, ither than Villanova-Delaware and *maybe* Gonzaga- Georgia State.

I always liked how announcers would say the name of the Aggies' hometown-- "Las Cruces", usually said with a lot of saliva.

Smart move rooting against Big East teams, genius.

Wrong... TEAM. Only one.

Showing my face around here today.

Because last night was rough.

I was flipping between games and even when UCONN was down I was sure that they would come back and win. What the heck happened?

Right, UConn was down 7 or 9 when i put it on with around 13 minutes left.

They cut it to tied, or 1, or 2 with around 8 to go. Each time, Teddy Allen would drill a ridiculous shot to get it back to 3, 4, or 5... UConn had a few long possessions, but would eventually get it to 1 or 2 again... then Teddy Allen would drill a couple more shots.
This pattern with Allen repeated itself around 8 times. He was a one man wrecking crew.

The guy was unbelievable, and he was acting like a total c-ckhead while doing it. He drew legit fouls, but they were relatively pain-free bump fouls.

On one drive he was fouled and Martin was pulled down with him on the floor (avoided landing on him) and Allen started yelling and looking for a fight.

Basically, the kid is a psycho, made Peter Kiss look like Sister Jean. The refs didn't want to have the game decided by a late tech, so he was free to act like a douche... especially up 6 with 30 seconds left.

Ih yeah, the NM State center was a douche too, going against Sanogo. Anyway.

Anyway, that's beside the point i guess. To me, UConn should've constantly double-teamed and probably should've triple-teamed Allen... and since he was drawing fouls (legit ones), UConn should've hammered him a few times.

Also, the UConn ending and the Creighton comeback in regulation were happening almost at the same time, maybe the Jays game was 4 minutes behind. As someone said, total agita.

I actually turned the Jays to UConn late during a break which is something I would normally not do. Think the NMSt lead went from 7 down to 1 during that CU commercial break. I turned it back to watch the Jays and then the Huskies tanked again. Hope I wasn’t the cause.
