Play in game from Dayton OH. Would love to get some love from our Flyer friends.

Providence vs Southern Cal, 9pm.

Rematch of last year's 1st round game, won on a layup by Rodney Bullock from Drew Edwards with 2 seconds left.

They are actually having a debate about that right now. http://www.udpride.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30676

Doesn't look like it will be a favorable home crowd.

I agree with the OP as far as opportunities for relationship building, but find some of the posters to be incredibly petty.

Feel really, really good about Providence in this one even though they aren't favored.

Providence is one of those teams where the sum of its parts just don't add up but they just keep winning. Credit the coach and credit the players for their constant fight all year. I don't think USC has the fight to compete with Providence and I don't know if they have an answer for both Bullock and Holt.

Depend which Bullock shows up and how Holt does from the line.

it'll be interesting to see how the games are called....

last night in the 2 NCAA games....
UNO/MSM-
UNO 12 fta/54 fga 22.2%- season avg 42.8%
MSM 13 fta/47 fga 27.7%- season avg 32.7%

WF/KSU
WF 32/53 60.4%- season avg 40.7%
KSU 36/47 76.6%- season avg 41.5%

so for the game with 2 decent teams- had way more free throws than normal.

Sometimes I wish we'd add Dayton just so we could read the sudden love and excitement their bitter fans would have and call it out.

so looking at USC- 1 number really stuck out to me....

their free throw rate defense. It was #5 in the country- only 23.9%.

I think the way the NCAA tourney games are officiated- will favor PC GREATLY.

Pac 12 conference games were #32(least) in all the conferences in fta/fga. So I think USC may get shocked when they have refs that call it the NCAA way now.
