NFT: Sweet Sixteen: Thursday

giantsfan44ab : 3/23/2017 6:45 pm
doesn't need to be said, but good games today. Kansas vs Purdue is the one I'm hyped for. Swanigan will make things more than interesting.

The whole plane incident made Michigan the darling of the conference, but I loved watching them play in Big 10 play.

When Kansas is playing  
B in ALB : 3/23/2017 11:15 pm : link
With confidence like this I think the only team that can beat them is UNC at this point. They look great.
Kansas was a surefire #1 seed  
dpinzow : 3/23/2017 11:36 pm : link
No issue with them playing near home
I'm not complaining about Kansas  
B in ALB : 3/23/2017 11:42 pm : link
Playing near home. I'm just saying it's a walk. They look great.
I think Kansas

just seems off tonight. Weird. No energy from any of their guys
this would be an absolutely  
MookGiants : 3/24/2017 12:47 am : link
awful loss for Sean Miller, a guy who has had a tough time getting over the hump. 8 point lead with what, 3 to go?
wow  
MookGiants : 3/24/2017 12:48 am : link
Horrific loss, as bad as it gets for a big favorite. 8 point lead with a few minutes to go over a team you're clearly better than and you piss it away and not because of missed free throws.

I can't believe they blew that game. Stunning.
Great play drawn up by Mack  
Kyle in NY : 3/24/2017 1:08 am : link
out of the timeout for the winner. So often seeing these teams struggle to find good shots in late situations with normally good coaches looking helpless. That was nice

Brutal loss for Arizona, against the former school too. No excuses for Few and Gonzaga now
Wonder if Oklahoma State gets T. Boone Pickens  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 3/24/2017 8:07 am : link
to back up the Brinks truck to Mack's house, as Indiana definitely seems to be waiting for Alford.

I think Sean Miller will eventually get to the Final Four, but he's lucky he's not coaching on the East Coast. Miller pulls 2 or 3 five-stars every year and can't get over the hump.

Huggins is got to be killing himself this morning.
This is it for Mark Few  
Giants in 07 : 3/24/2017 9:44 am : link
Gonzaga should end up in the title game.
What an awful  
ryanmkeane : 3/24/2017 2:58 pm : link
loss for Arizona last night. Xavier is just a tough tourney out, always will be.
In a stunning turn of events.....

Michael Porter has committed to his father's new employer.
Baylor and Butler

Getting their shit pushed in.
Didn't expect Baylor to get smoked like this

But the sooner Lavar Ball is not able to make shit all about himself the better it will be
When I watched South Carolina dominate  
B in ALB : 3/24/2017 9:47 pm : link
Cuse earlier this year I said they would be a team to reckon with. They're tough, well coaches and their defense is outstanding right now. Plus they have a prolific and dominating scorer. Very tough out for either Florida or Wisconsin.
Ball is a heck of an offensive player  
hitdog42 : 3/24/2017 10:18 pm : link
But on the ball defensively they may as well be playing 5 on 4

yeah the one big knock on him is he doesnt play good defense, actually it is the knock on all the top pgs in thos draft..

offensively i would like to see him take over more in this game and be more agressive..
It's not as if anyone else on UCLA plays defense  
Greg from LI : 3/24/2017 10:53 pm : link
Whh should Ball be different?
Starting to really trade punches here.  
bceagle05 : 3/24/2017 11:09 pm : link
Looks like Monk wants to be the closer.
Neither team wants to play defense

Some of it is the high level of scoring talent  
Greg from LI : 3/24/2017 11:19 pm : link
But those attempts at transition defense are just pitiful.
Lot of debate about Fox

but ya gotta love how he's taking on the Lonzo Ball challenge.

It's going to be like that every day for Lonzo in the Association. Lavar better keep quiet or he'll ruin his kid. Westbrook, Curry and Harden are just salivating to destroy Lonzo in his rookie season
indefensible  
MookGiants : 3/25/2017 12:30 am : link
for Florida not to foul. Wisconsin with no timeouts, 7 seconds on the clock, you foul every single time.
What a comeback by Wisconsin  
B in ALB : 3/25/2017 12:30 am : link
Holy shit, fans!
ref didn't  
MookGiants : 3/25/2017 12:31 am : link
have the balls to call a foul on Wisconsin there but it was absolutely a foul
It was absolutely a foul

I'll never understand why teams don't foul  
Giants in 07 : 3/25/2017 12:33 am : link
in that situation.

The Wisconsin player is stumbling over his own feet and you're in his face. There's no chance he's getting a shot off so there's no danger of it being in the act of shooting.
I don't  
Giantfootball025 : 3/25/2017 12:36 am : link
understand the FT's there with the possession arrow changing.
I could understand  
MookGiants : 3/25/2017 12:37 am : link
not doing it in the NBA because you can advance the ball with a timeout, but you can't in college, and Wisconsin didn't have any timeouts anyways.

I hear people try to make an argument against doing it, and it always involves like 20 fucking things having to happen to lose in regulation.
There's way too many fouls being called in this game  
Giants in 07 : 3/25/2017 12:41 am : link
Seems like it gets worse every single year

isn't going to sleep for a month after this one.
Sorry, that's not a foul in a 3 point game  
Giants in 07 : 3/25/2017 12:45 am : link
With a minute left in OT in the sweet 16.

It's free points.
OMG...  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 3/25/2017 12:48 am : link
what a block.
WOW  
montanagiant : 3/25/2017 12:52 am : link
Heartbreaker. That missed Dunk looms large
Holy fuck

What an ending
Wooooooooow  
B in ALB : 3/25/2017 12:53 am : link
What a finish! Holy. Shit.
He would've been better off missing the 2nd  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 3/25/2017 12:53 am : link
free throw.

Last 7 minutes of that game was crazy.
Shit

yeah that's a heartbreaker. For as long as I live I will never forget the way I felt after Jenkins hit that shot last year literally running up the stairs out of the stadium so i didnt have to watch any celebration. Awful.

Weird  
MookGiants : 3/25/2017 1:30 am : link
to see Kris Jenkins sitting right behind the UNC bench amongst all the Carolina fans.

Obviously he is there for his brother Nate Britt, just weird to see him sitting amongst all Carolina fans and rooting with them after breaking all UNC's fans hearts last year
There are other Badger fans mourning too :(

Really felt for those classy seniors.

Will always remember Bronson gaming it put there on one leg.

Hayes, Koenig, Showalter and Brown. You gave us Badger fans your heart and soul for 4 years.

Would now be a good time to tell you that my son will be headed to UF in the fall, following in the footsteps of his eldest sister? :-)
