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’.
