NFT: Elite Eight-Sunday edition

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 3/26/2017 2:00 pm
SC vs. Florida at 2:20 & then UNC-UK at 5:05.

I'm going with both Carolina teams winning today.

Kentucky was in the bonus  
Kyle in NY : 3/26/2017 6:00 pm : link
like 7 minutes into the half, that loose ball fall was a joke. Just way too much from the refs
Not sure UK can survive this half  
Kyle in NY : 3/26/2017 6:01 pm : link
with both Monk and Fox out. May have to take a chance. I don't think 2 fouls should just be automatically out for the half. Especially for a guard
How the fuck is that a foul?

Jump ball  
MetsAreBack : 3/26/2017 6:04 pm : link
Is inexplicably called a foul. These refs suck
Kentucky fans howling at the refs  
dpinzow : 3/26/2017 6:08 pm : link
the entire last 10 minutes of the 1st half
I stand corrected  
Kyle in NY : 3/26/2017 6:08 pm : link
although they really left a lot of points out there, both teams did for that matter

Should be a good second half, just put the whistles away
The officiating in this game...  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 3/26/2017 6:09 pm : link
JFC.
UNC hasn't been able to hit free throws  
MetsAreBack : 3/26/2017 6:09 pm : link
In a decade it seems. Amazing the success Roy has still had considering this.
20 fouls in 20 minutes  
B in ALB : 3/26/2017 6:10 pm : link
That's ridiculous. Watch them call a completely different game now.

Teams shooting 12/24 from the free throw line. No one wants to watch that shit.
Where have you guys been?  
Giants in 07 : 3/26/2017 6:13 pm : link
The officiating has been horrible all tournament

The gonzaga/WVU game had 60 fouls called

the almost blown dunk was unreal  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 3/26/2017 6:14 pm : link
guy is hanging on and pulling down the rim as the ball bounces on the rim. How that is legal I don't begin to understand.

Officiating is brutal....
Unwatchable first half.  
bceagle05 : 3/26/2017 6:16 pm : link
Fucking officiating.
Does NC  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 3/26/2017 6:33 pm : link
Know the second half started?
This game sucks  
B in ALB : 3/26/2017 6:36 pm : link
4 fouls on unc angry and they haven't made a bucket in 7 minutes. Yuck.
Well,  
AcidTest : 3/26/2017 6:55 pm : link
at least it's close. Let's remember that these are 18 to 22 year old young men. They're not NBA players, at least not yet.
Carolina has been awful this half.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 3/26/2017 6:56 pm : link
Absolutely awful.
Typical UNC  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 3/26/2017 7:03 pm : link

Just pathetic.
This game changed when UNC couldnt extend the lead  
Giants in 07 : 3/26/2017 7:05 pm : link
With the 3rd team in for Kentucky for the last 7 of the first half
Monk needs to start launching  
giantsfan44ab : 3/26/2017 7:09 pm : link
soon.

Monk looks lost out there now.
Uh oh, Kentucky forced a turnover  
dpinzow : 3/26/2017 7:20 pm : link
and cut the lead to a possession
A replay of last year's national championship  
dpinzow : 3/26/2017 7:23 pm : link

Wow.

I will be there on Monday night if they win on Saturday. Already have the tickets lined up through them. I can go on Saturday but my girlfriend can't and I really don't care to be there on Saturday, after last year all I want is to see them in the title game for redemption from last year. She was there with me last year and has become a huge UNC fan because of me so I want her there with me to see it if they get back this year.

I have my flights and hotel ready to go for next sunday if they win saturday night. This week will be very, very long.
That game wasn't great or incredible.  
B in ALB : 3/26/2017 7:43 pm : link
It was sloppy, over officiated and ugly until the last minute and a half.

The last 1:30 was awesome.

No he didn't. He kept the pivot. It was close but he didn't travel.

Falls to the Knicks I hope Phil grabs him. The kid is special
A fun last few minutes  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 3/26/2017 7:50 pm : link
A shame this wasn't a final four game. Carolina basically made everyone but Fox and Monk beat them and they still barely eked it out.

Every game has been over officiated in the tournament. Hasn't been one of the better ones overall.

Agree 100%
64-59  
MookGiants : 3/26/2017 8:20 pm : link
Roy calls timeout, goes to a 2-3 zone. Kentucky looks lost going against it.

Roy knows how to coach. He throws wrinkles like that every once in a while and they seem to work great.

Love this team. So badly want those guys that had to experience that loss last year to finish the deal this year

Kentucky is a terrific team and they pretty much had a home (crowd) game tonight. No shame at all in 'eking' it out against a borderline number 1 seed.

This was national championship  
WillVAB : 3/26/2017 8:41 pm : link
UNC smokes Oregon. Gonzaga will be a good game but UNC pulls away in the 2nd half.

As a UNC fan, I don't think UNC would've been able to beat Kentucky then Kansas in the final 4. Kansas runs way too well vs unc historically.

Yeah that makes a ton of sense. Because everything in this tournament has been really predictable.

I'm about 90% sure he will be on the board when the Knicks pick. Close to 100 if the Knicks get top 5.

Yeah, but not really at all. What a terrible comparison.

Obviously I could be wrong but it's been a relatively chalky tournament with 3 1's in the elite 8 and 2 1's in the final 4.

Sounds scary. UNC won't take them lightly after they just beat up Kansas.

While that was one hell of an impressive win, its also a team that eeked by Rhode Island and Michigan.

There's no such thing as 'easy' in the elite 8 and final 4... will be a tough game.. but on paper, Oregon is an easier matchup for UNC than Kansas would have been. Looking forward to it.
