General 2026 NCAA Tournament Thread

Starting a thread for general commentary on the tourney games.

This Siena-Duke game is absolutely brilliant. The David vs Goliath narrative kind of reminds me of the final game in the movie Hoosiers. Hopefully a similar outcome.

FWIW, Siena has been playing a lot of zone.

Head coach was a starter on Syracuse’s National Championship team, so not terribly surprising. But it has been very effective against the Blue Devils.

Scu coaches will need to study this SMC tape

Only 4 made free throws

12 points in the paint

18 turnovers

Both Gaels big men were awful tonight. Combined for ZERO points.

I’m not surprised Texas beat BYU either, but AJ Dybantsa is a terrific player.

Apparently Muruauskas did not start because he was ill. Came in later but clearly not himself.
