Middle Tennessee needs some Giddy up

Bud-Dy, Bud-day

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/20/2016 11:30:23 PM
For the record. There was a marginal call vs SFA on def rebound that all refs make. It's wrong, yes. But normal. SFA had their chances.

by Bob Ryan via twitter 3/20/2016 10:15:29 PM
Why can't these networks understand that these halftime interviews are USELESS and stupid unless it's Popovich or Calipari? Hey, Pop's funny

by Bob Ryan via twitter 3/20/2016 10:11:31 PM
Charles Barkley actually just made sense! Said SFA just couldn't close on offense and he was 100 pct correct.

by Bob Ryan via twitter 3/20/2016 9:02:13 PM
That, ladies and gentlemen, is why we love coll BB in general and the tournament in particular. I'd just love to see SFA play again.

by Bob Ryan via twitter 3/20/2016 8:52:08 PM
SFA's Thomas Walkup can't convert on consecutive possessions; ND wins on tip-in.

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/20/2016 8:50:28 PM
SFA coach Brad Underwood seems to hit Frank Martin levels of anger. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/20/2016 8:43:39 PM
Saying this win or lose to ND: shame on me for not knowing how good Stephen F Austin is.

by Bob Ryan via twitter 3/20/2016 8:35:59 PM
SFA hung tough and now leads by 3 with less than 4 to go. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/20/2016 8:35:53 PM
ND up 3 at under 12 TO; SFA is gritty but not sure they have enough offensive skill to win this. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/20/2016 8:15:38 PM
Stephen F Austin aggressive at both ends; Irish need to match it #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/20/2016 7:07:05 PM
Duke will survive but you'd have to have doubts about them going forward. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 8:54:07 PM
Big FTs by Kennard gives Duke 6 point lead with 52.9 left

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 8:49:43 PM
Tremendous game by Yale's Brandon Sherrod; not going to be enough

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 8:39:31 PM
Under 11 TO Yale surged within striking distance 54-47. Duke needs to be poised like Miami in game 1

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 8:18:46 PM
Yale's negative stats: Justin Sears 0 for 4 from field, no free throws. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 7:45:44 PM
Grayson Allen with 22 first-half points on 8 of 11 shooting including 4 of 6 from three. Coach K was mad though at turnover in final minute

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 7:44:58 PM
Halftime Duke leads 48-25 and this one is over.

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 7:36:50 PM
Under 4 TO Duke leads 41-19 Yale's two top scorers have been almost completely eliminated. Sears scoreless, Mason with two.

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 7:26:52 PM
Yale's two best players are a combined 0-6 from the field. Sears hasn't scored yet. That's not the recipe for an upset.

by Christopher Gasper via twitter 3/19/2016 7:24:10 PM
Yale in the Danger Zone here, down 38-19 with 5:00 left in the first. They have zero made baskets from Justin Sears and Makai Mason.

by Christopher Gasper via twitter 3/19/2016 7:23:02 PM
Consecutive threes by Ingram and Kennard makes it 36-19 Duke. Can't imagine Yale recovering from this. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 7:22:24 PM
Brandon Sherrod on layup line. No, he doesn't sign along to music playing on PA http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cd7nFs9W0AAVoIB.jpg

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 6:35:49 PM
Wichita's Baker and VanVleet were for both 4 for 12 from the field with four turnovers; VanVleet was 1 of 6 on 3s.

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 6:30:56 PM
Final stat line for Miami's Angel Rodriquez 28 points on 9 of 11 shooting and five assists. He did have 7 turnovers. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 6:29:54 PM
The bottom line for Wichita is a team can't fall behind by 21 in the first half and expect to win. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 6:13:17 PM
Miami will advance with hard-earned win over Wichita State. Angel Rodriquez outplays Fred VanVleet.. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 6:12:31 PM
Angel Rodriquez with a cold-blooded three that could be the knockout punch

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 6:10:01 PM
Incredible shot by Angel Rodriquez banking one in while falling down; look like it had no hope. Miami leads 57-53 with 1:20 left with ball

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 6:08:19 PM
Under 4 TO Miami leads 55-50 Miami's Sheldon McClellan has made several great plays at both ends. Wichita might be gassed after big comeback

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 6:02:08 PM
Rodriguez let that thing fly from behind half court. t.co

by Julian Benbow via twitter 3/19/2016 5:52:04 PM
Under 8 TO Miami leads 48-45 Wichita surged to the lead on a Baker 3 but Miami has weathered the storm to reclaim control. Lots of poise.

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 5:50:04 PM
Fred VanVleet's mad dash to the rim cuts Miam's lead to 42-37 with 12:18 left.

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 5:38:09 PM
Under 16 TO Miami leads 40-29. Wichita definitely picking up the intensity on defense; Got a couple of turnovers. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 5:31:10 PM
Really agree with @GlobeKPD on this. Sport doesn't matter; there's been too many reviews in the NCAA tournament too. bostonglobe.com/sports/2016/03…

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 5:19:56 PM
Miam's 'Angel Rodriquez first 20 minutes were incredible 16 points on 7 for 7 shooting including two threes.. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 5:09:16 PM
Wichita's stats reflect the score; 7 for 29 overall and 1 of 9 on 3s plus 10 turnovers. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 5:08:14 PM
Miami leads 32-19 at the half; Hurricanes in control; I wouldn't rule out a Wichita comeback but I have my doubts. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 4:59:31 PM
Wichita has settled down; switching to a zone has slowed Miami; Hurricanes still lead 27-15 with 4:53 left in ahfl. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 4:47:05 PM
Needless to say -- but someone has to say it -- I'm SHOCKED st what I'm seeing here in Providence!!!

by Bob Ryan via twitter 3/19/2016 4:38:33 PM
It's complete butt kicking here for Miami. The Hurricanes lead 27-6; Can't quite say it's over but it pretty much is. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 4:36:10 PM
Under 12 TO Miami has been sensational and is leading 18-4. They've hit 8 of 9 shots. Wichita is 1 for 10. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 4:27:40 PM
Miami also much sharper and focused for this game then it was for Buffalo. Very intense. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 4:20:25 PM
Under 16 TO 9-4 Miami Angel Rodriquez playing like he has something to prove; he's really taking it to Fred Van Vleet. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 4:19:47 PM
Angel Rodriquez fired up for this matchup against Fred VanVleet; scores Miami's first five points. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 4:15:23 PM
Tip off for Miami Wichita http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cd7GPVDW8AAh0oJ.jpg

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 4:12:22 PM
Wichita does not have great size; tallest starter is Shaq Morris listed at 6-8; h e's more like 6-5. Miami's Tonye Jekiri should capitalize

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/19/2016 4:06:21 PM
Sure. Oh, wait,..does that include you? twitter.com/joshdickson40/…

by Christopher Gasper via twitter 3/19/2016 4:04:20 PM
I actually agree with you for the most part. twitter.com/DynastyDriven/…
