NCAA 2024 Tourney game thread - #10 seed MEN's Bball - 1st round game vs. #7 seed Florida (In Indianapolis; Friday, 3/22, 2:30 PM MT; TBS)

I just found a recap of the game. We actually had a four point lead at half. I like my version of the game more.

Actually, you guys are talking about 2 different games. The Matt ****ing Daniels nightmare happened my sophomore year, the game you are describing happened my junior year.

Sh*t. You might be right. I could’ve sworn that was my freshman year (Jan ‘96). But the ‘97 box score matches the story that I told.

That Matt Daniels play is seared into my brain. We had Mack Tuck, the nation's leader in 3p %, wide open in the corner for a kick out, and our 5' 10" hero baller decided to shoot over Raef LeFrentz.

****ing asshole.

I could use another whiteout shirt.

Typical post on the reddit thread:

"With all the refs having money on the game and every Colorado player having their best game ever they still only lost by two. UF is a damn good team and Golden is a good coach. **** the refs, **** Colorado flairs, you’re a bunch of whiney bitches and goodnight to this **** tourney."

I think I’m mixing aspects of both games, but it sounds like the bulk of my story is ‘97. Found this.

That's fantastic! Our players had good games because this was the first team we ever played that didn't even pretend to play defense.

We should have beaten them by double-digits, but Clayton played out of his mind. He doubled his PPG average. And Florida, the 173rd ranked team in the nation for three-pointers goes off.

We get that the refs sucked, but they sucked pretty equitably. KJ's final bucket does not appear to be a push-off.

Yes, we're the whiny bitches. I love that dude!

When I read this why do I think this poster has family in Nebraska. Exactly the same wording and tone as many Nebraska fans after their football games with us.

Ah yes, that blue blood (checks notes), Colorado basketball, getting the benefit of all the calls.

The story of March Madness cannot be written without heavily featuring the Colorado Buffaloes.

THEY HAD MONEY ON THE GAME, OKAY?!

The room for maximization on this team rests on Hadley and Williams. KJ, TDS, Eddie, and LOB are playing close to Max levels and Dak is a nice 5 minute guy that brings energy. Hadley has been in a slight funk, and we have overanalyzed Cody. So, if both of them step it back up, this team can keep winning.

Alfred is talking about the '96 game, Patton's first game as interim coach after Harrington quit. I was at the '97 game. One of the loudest I ever heard the Keg was when Chauncey hit that 3-ball to go up by a point. Dude was straight fire in the 2nd half. But, in what would become a trend against the Hawks in his era, and a lot of other teams, Patton failed to adjust after the aforementioned timeout and KU rolled in the final minutes.

Didn't he hit one of them from like 10 feet behind the arc? I drank a lot in college, but please at least let that memory be true.

Don't remember that but possibly. Back then the 3 line was top of the key.

The 3 he hit to go up by a point was off a fast break where he also could have had an easy layup. Instead he pulled up for the 3, the whole Keg held their breath then exploded when the shot went in.
