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.
Need Michigan to win tonight

That is my only upset other than the ones that already happened (S Carolina beating Duke).

Is this thread going to get deleted?

But it looks like B got deleted instead.
Well thankfully I just checked  
MetsAreBack : 3/23/2017 7:45 pm : link
and he hasnt gotten a timeout just yet.

I'm guessing B is now officially on double-secret probation

I hope Michigan beats the Ducks tonight. I feel dirty saying that but I like their story.

Juuuust enough on the defensive end to mitigate 4-5 possessions of awful play at the offensive end

Is that Mark Jackson going on and on about the defender's 'block' which was actually a butcher job hack on his arm?
44 fouls called in this game  
Giants in 07 : 3/23/2017 9:39 pm : link
Still 7 to go.

Brutal.
From what I've seen  
MetsAreBack : 3/23/2017 9:40 pm : link
West Virginia should have been called for more than they have. Gonzaga playing like its never seen a full court press before
That Kentucky - Kansas commercial is just the worst  
MetsAreBack : 3/23/2017 9:53 pm : link
First of all, the game was down to the wire when the power went out. How do they all get in the guys house with time still remaining.

Second, they bring coke and not beer?

Third, the Kansas guy is barely excited when his team goes up with 2 seconds left

Makes no sense
These refs are atrocious  
Giants in 07 : 3/23/2017 9:58 pm : link
And that commercial makes no sense
Seriously with this ref delay??

Holy hell
In any sport  
MetsAreBack : 3/23/2017 10:03 pm : link
I have yet to hear a credible explanation why refs / umps on the field need to review their own challenge calls. Every league every sport should have a central control tower
Wow  
MetsAreBack : 3/23/2017 10:07 pm : link
Can't believe he hit that shot after where he ended up catching the deflected pass

Would love to see the replay on the last defensive sequence - I find it hard to believe refs didn't miss a foul there especially the way they called the first 39 minutes
Great defense at end by gonzaga to close it  
micky : 3/23/2017 10:13 pm : link
.
They never showed the replay of the no-call on Adrien  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 3/23/2017 10:18 pm : link
thought that was a foul. Everything broke Gonzaga's way.

I picked WVU in this one, but by the end of the game you just want them to lose. One guy who can shoot and the rest fouling every play.
Kansas looks great  
MetsAreBack : 3/23/2017 10:26 pm : link
But then again like most years they play their first four tournament games within 4 hours of campus so hard to really judge. 80% of the crowd is Kansas in this one
Kansas in Oklahoma  
B in ALB : 3/23/2017 10:41 pm : link
Then in KC is hilarious. Home crowd? Pffft.

Almost as bad as Syracuse in Boston and Albany in 2003. But not close as Cuse was a 3. But I'll take it!
Josh Jackson  
giantsfan44ab : 3/23/2017 11:09 pm : link
dominating on both ends.

Mason is the best college basketball player.
I have no issue  
MookGiants : 3/23/2017 11:12 pm : link
with Kansas playing an essential home game as a 1 seed.

The issue is they've played home games in regionals as a 2 seed too. Fuck them.
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.

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.

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

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

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

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
