This is definitely a more exciting game than the last one so far.

It’s like a rugby match.

Arkansas-St Johns might be a good one

Indeed

It’s like a rugby match.

I don’t think so at all. I’m seeing two athletic teams playing fast and tough. Good game.

that flagrant call on Brazile for Arkansas was terrible. If they were trying to send a message about the physicality, that was the wrong way to do it, they’ve already allowed so much more between both teams.

I thought it was borderline. Brazile had one too many pushes although the contact to the head was probably incidental. He has been playing really chippy.

I thought they were just grappling, the only thing that was borderline for me (as Gene Steratore noted on the broadcast) is that Brazile wasn’t really boxing out conventionally, he was facing Ejiofor so it may have come across as premeditatedly excessive contact, not an actual attempt to carve out space to grab the rebound or allow the rebound to go to someone else.

But the shoving was standard stuff between bigs to my eye, they’ve been going at each other all game.

 

[AGDukesky]

Arkansas might be about to implode

EDIT: Nevermind the announcers were wrong in saying there was a technical.

 

[NYBri]

This is a big time game.

 

[Bob Green]

Excellent 1st half with Arkansas up 35-32. Second half should be exciting. The way they’re playing, foul trouble could become a factor.

 

[AGDukesky]

Arkansas might not have enough players to finish at this rate

 

[NYBri]

Fouls an issue in this one.

Johnnies having trouble staying in front of Wagner this half.

 

[KandG]

Wagner is cooking the St. John’s D off the dribble, plenty of time left in this game but that’s been the difference so far in the second half.

 

[AGDukesky]

St John’s just is not good in the halfcourt if they can’t rebound every miss.

 

[jv001]

St John’s just is not good in the halfcourt if they can’t rebound every miss.

Hope we don't get any one of these 3 refs. Whistle happy.

GoDuke!

St Johns trying to destroy my bracket

 

[tommy]

St John’s two best players Lluis and Richmond have come up empty so far. That plus foul trouble for the bigs =
trouble for the Red Storm.

 

[LTLurker77]

It isn’t helping that St. John’s can’t finish anywhere in the paint.

 

[Mtn.Devil.91.92.01.10.15]

This game is crazy fun for two teams that can't hit anything

 

[KandG]

Even with all the fouls, this game is quite entertaining, multiple players just launching themselves into the paint hoping to draw a foul or block the heck out of the shot.
