March Madnes NCAA Tournament: First Round

Furman got a nice little squad for a small school

It doesn't help that every time Furman gets whistled for a foul, the refs immediately return the favor. Fouls on Dunn and Franklin and then the travel against Beekman were awful calls.

Viriginia should roll though if they just focus on pounding paint. Furman doesnt have the size or athleticism to stop anyone on Virigina at the rim.
 
Refs are penalizing agressive D in these early games. Not good for us(although different regions).

In WVU vs Maryland, if a guy even breathes wrong its a foul.

Man that is a good point. Hey no worries man Illinois can’t get to the sweet 16 even with good teams. Be interesting to see how the B1G does this year.

Big 12, ACC, SEC and Pac all just seem much more athletic

Different recruiting base.

Mid major schools (not Gonzaga) recruit 2 and 3 stars and keep them 4 years. While mediocre power schools recruit 3 and 4 stars and suffer a lot of turnover.

Fucking clockwork for Virginia. Every single time they look to be close to pulling away.

Wonder where Illinois would be if Kofi stayed. Zach E and him came in about the same time. Made about the same improvement. Kofi was not a good passer tho. Edey is tough but the athletic bigs are going to give him some trouble.
