2025 NCAA Tournament Central

I’m shocked Mike White didn’t have his team prepared. That never happens.

 

This was a hard one to predict. Mike White did his usual thing of barely making it into the Dance but then would win a game. On the other hand Gonzaga's metrics are WAY better than an 8-9 seed.

Metrics win.

 

This isn't even metrics or Mike White being Mike White
This is just a very, very simple case of red hot team meets absolutely ice cold team. Gonzaga can't miss and Georgia can't buy a bucket even with wide open looks.

 

Still can’t believe we lost to them!

 

And you could predict that?

 

This is why I wanted nothing to do with Gonzaga in our bracket. They are really good.

 

Just enjoy it. Thank MW for going to UGLY. Thank TG for taking a chance with us as MW really had us in a perpetual state of mediocrity.

 

UGAs is on a run! The fighting Mike Whites are only down 30-10 now! And I would add, his team playing like crap against Gonzaga was the MOST predictable thing of this Tournament.

 

The lowest-scoring first half in tournament history in the shot-clock era finished with a combined 33 points, when Indiana scored 13 and UCLA scored 20 in the first half of their 2007 tournament meeting; Missouri State (21) and Wisconsin (12) who also finished with 33 points in 1999.

 

I fell asleep reading this.

 

Sounds about right for a Ben Howland coached UCLA team. That guy couldn’t coach offense if his life depended on it.

 

Mike White coaching, Beth Mowens on the call. Perfection.

 

UGA making a comeback but still down 14 due to that massive 27-3 deficit to start the game. Lol.

 

Clemson only had 13 in the first half this afternoon.

 

A quick Google search shows Michigan scored 16 in the first half against Texas Tech in 2019 and CBS noted it was a record low for a first half tourney game. That's about all I could find.

 

Agred, but it may have been a blessing in disguise. Been on a nice role since that game. If Florida comes back & wins that game, it may have sent them the wrong message. After that game, the team knows they better bring it for 40 minutes or any hot team can beat them.

 

Thank you, Carnak.

LOT of brackets gonna be busted after today!

 

Good find

 

The only way jaw jaw wins is by going up by 25 and barely winning by 1-4 points.
