Oakland (Michigan) over Kentucky

FloridaAggie13 · Post by **FloridaAggie13** » March 21st, 2024, 7:47 pm

Golke(sp?) of Oakland, went full-on Jimmy Chitwood.

In the era of NIL ruining college sports, Oakland's coach seems to be a breath of fresh air. Coaching in the same place for 39 years and really seems to love his job, his players and his school. Afterward, he said he was really happy for his players and his school president and AD.

Awesome, it's why this is my favorite sporting event. It's just awesome to see these teams upset the big boys. I just want to see the Aggies get a victory.

Oakland isn’t good enough for this tournament according to Izzo.

If it weren’t for games like this in March the NCAA tournament would just be a big tournament but nothing special until the final 4.

But it’s not and it’s why I love March.

Oakland shouldn't have been there. They didn't have to play in Lawlor.

Tom Izzo rests his case.

Maybe they should eliminate the current tournament format, and instead just make it a 4 team tourney. The 4 teams that bid the most money to play in the tournament would “earn” the right to play. I’m sure national interest and ratings would skyrocket! Make it happen Izzo!!

It would be in the best interest of the student athletes so they could focus on their classes.

Last year they were 13-19 with 6 losses at home and 3 by at least 9 points. But that's the kind of season I would trade for a win tomorrow.

Its a nightmare start for the SEC. And I don't mind that at all.

Agreed I enjoy the whole tournament but the first two days are just outright awesome with all of the upsets from the smaller teams.

Honestly, the first weekend is awesome and then I stop watching for the most part after that. The first weekend of the tournament is the most exciting sporting event during the year. It is better than:

World series
NBA playoffs
Superbowl
New Years day bowl games.

The only things that come close are the NHL playoffs (overtimes that can go forever and hinge on the next goal) and maybe the new college football playoff, but only if all conference champs are let in.

Cayman Islands tournament had Akron, Oakland, Drake, and Utah State.

Oakland might be the best team in Michigan this season.

C'mon - those three minutes of the Kentucky Derby are pretty exciting.

But you don't see Rothstein tweeting out the tournament record of the SEC so far, just the Mountain West.

Big 12 is only going to be probably be 2/2 as well with both losses coming as 6 seeds.

Would love to reward the Big 12 with a solid loss to the MWC Champs tomorrow!

Tournament is all random. People were saying the acc is overrated because of Virginia, but then NC State dominated tech as an 11 seed. NC State got hot last week and is on a run but was 10th in the acc regular season.
