Live-Blogging 2021 NCAA MBK East Region Round of 32: Maryland Terrapins vs. Alabama Crimson Tide3/22/2021  Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on College Basketball’. Tonight, it is the 2021 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament game, between Maryland Terrapins and Alabama Crimson Tide.
Terrapins is looking they could be the last Big Ten team standing. They hope to get some scoring from Eric Ayala and Darryl Morsell. For the Crimson Tide, they are hoping to win a National Championship to be a school won a national championship for football and basketball in the same year. Terrapins are led by Eric Ayala in scoring. Donta Scott leads Maryland in rebounding. And Darryl Morsell leads the College Park in assists. As for Crimson Tide, they are led by Jaden Shackelford in scoring. While Herbert Jones leads Alabama in rebounding and assists. Possible Starting Lineups: Maryland Terrapins: G: E. Ayala G: D. Morsell G: A. Wiggins G: H. Hart F: D. Scott Alabama Crimson Tide: G: J. Shackelford G: J. Petty, Jr. G: K. Ellis F: J. Bruner F: H. Jones Well, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Brackets are out, earlier This Evening. So, the NCAA Tournament Committee went with Clemson, Virginia Tech, and Wichita State. I picked Memphis, Seton Hall, and Colorado State in the tournament.
For Memphis and Wichita State I was not wrong about American Athletic Conference getting an at-large bid. I went with the team who had success in the American Athletic Tournament, while the Committee went with the Shockers of Wichita State who won the regular season championship. Now the ACC teams, I do not have a problem with Virginia Tech over Seton Hall. The Pirates dropped their last four regular season games and lost to Georgetown in the Big East Tournament. Virginia Tech defeated Villanova near the start of the regular season. The ACC Team I have the problem with who is in the tournament is Clemson. They lost to Miami (FL) in the ACC Tournament and lost to Pittsburgh Panthers, in the regular season. As for Colorado State their worst loss came at the end of the regular season to Nevada. But Nevada’s NET Ranking is 96, compared to Pitt’s NET of 100 and Hurricanes’ NET of 149. For some other teams, the Ramblers of Loyola-Chicago is underseeded as well as Colgate. No Surprise for the #1 seeds. Gonzaga is the #1 overall seed. Baylor is #2. Illini is #3, because they lost to Baylor. But the Illini is playing better coming into this tournament than the Bears. And I think the Wolverines look like the most vulnerable of the four #1 seeds, now that they are without Isaiah Livers for who knows when. So here is my final brackets of the 2021 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.  Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on College Basketball’. Tonight, it is a 2021 Big East MBK Semifinal game, between U Conn Huskies and Creighton Bluejays.
Both Huskies and Bluejays played dominate in their wins last night. But the Huskies are concerned about the health of their star player James Bouknight. Bouknight suffered some cramps in last night’s game. But the Huskies did play without him a few games this season and was able to stay afloat for an at large bid. For the Bluejays, they are hoping to win their first Big East Tournament since becoming a member of the Big East Conference. Huskies statistically are led by EJ Cole in scoring and assists. While Tyrese Martin leads the University of Connecticut in rebounding. As for the Bluejays, they are led by Marcus Zegarowski in scoring and assists. While Christian Bishop leads Creighton in rebounding. It is U Conn Huskies and Creighton Bluejays, winner advances to Big East Championship Game. The Semifinal Game will tip-off shortly. Possible Starting Lineups: U Conn Huskies: G: J. Bouknight G: EJ Cole G: T. Martin F: I. Whaley C: A. Sanogo Creighton Bluejays: G: M. Zegarowski G: M. Ballock G: D. Mahoney F: D. Jefferson F: C. Bishop Some new teams on the 13-16 seed line. They are automatic qualifiers for winning their conference tournament.
The #1 seeds stay the same (Gonzaga, Baylor, Michigan, Illinois). But did Duke get in the Last Four In Line?
 Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on College Basketball’. Tonight, it is a Big East Showdown, between Villanova Wildcats and Creighton Bluejays.
Wildcats are a win away from clinching the 2021 Big East Regular Season Championship. Bluejays need to win out and or Wildcats to lose out to repeat as Big East Regular Season Champs. Bluejays are led by Denzel Mahoney in scoring. While Damien Jefferson and Christian Bishop co-lead Creighton in rebounding. And Marcus Zegarowski leads the Omaha School in assists. Wildcats are led by Conor Gillespie in scoring and assists. While Jermaine Samuels leads Villanova in rebounding. It is Creighton Bluejays and Villanova Wildcats, coming up shortly. Possible Starting Lineups: Creighton Bluejays: G: M. Ballock G: D. Mahoney G: M. Zegarowski F: D. Jefferson F: C. Bishop Villanova Wildcats: G: Conor Gillespie G: C. Daniels G: J. Moore F: J. Samuels F: J. Robinson-Earl We have a new team amongst the #1 seeds. Iowa has replaced Ohio State as one of the number 1 seeds. The overall seeds 1-3 is still the same, due to Baylor losing to Kansas. But I would give Baylor some slack for losing to Kansas, over Michigan’s whose lone loss is to Minnesota.
Michigan State is among the last four teams in the tournament. And I took a guess on where these games will be played and what days. Here are my NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Projections for This Week. |
