Chapter 1: What happened on Day 1 of March Madness?
Yeah, they ended up shooting 37.8%, which Rick Pitino would take that all day for St. John's and how they are not exactly a shooting team.
The thing I love about St. John's is that on defense – If a team is working the ball around, pump faking, getting guys to leave their feet, they pass it to the open guy. St. John's seems to have an unlimited amount of dudes on the floor running at the face. Yeah. Their rotation is so good on defense. They just keep cycling. There's always somebody running at your face.
If you think you're about to take an open shot, you're not. And if you look at the offensive rebounds, I believe they lost the offensive rebounding battle. But they kicked the shit out of Omaha in second chance points. Yeah. And that's because Omaha, they would get an offensive rebound occasionally and then just get swatted into oblivion in the lane.
Yeah. The St. John's has, I mean, the way they play, they play Patino defense where everyone's hands are always active. Every ball gets tipped. You know, nothing is easy. Just swinging the ball feels hard. And yeah, St. John's was definitely impressive in the second half. Houston squished SIU Edwardsville. Shout out to SIU Edwardsville.
remember we learned the big show yep that's right his right for university yeah so that's huge Alabama struggle a little bit or Auburn sorry struggle a little bit with Alabama State but ended up winning pretty easily 10 FC I was I was not offered in the second half I was not super impressed with Auburn today No, they've had weird vibes.
I mean, they finished the season losing three out of four, and they were the number one overall seed. And, yeah, it will be. So, like, today.
Alabama State, they played so much harder than Auburn. Yeah. They were beating them to loose balls. They were picking up every 50-50 thing. Auburn didn't look like they had a fire lit under their ass before the game. Maybe Bruce Pearl will be able to start it. And they ended up winning by a good amount.
It was by 20, yeah.
It wasn't close at the end, but I wasn't super impressed by it.
