Sweet Sixteen 3/24

I don't understand takes like this. It was in everyone's best interest for him to move on. He was clearly good enough to start and he wasn't going to get that with Sanogo

Take a random sampling of his posts and it becomes pretty clear. Fortunately most of the people who are keeping this going started posting last Thursday and will be ghosts in a week.

Or we could have played bigger lineups. I checked, and the Celtics won a bunch of NBA championships with Parish and McHale starting.

So started both Sanogo and Carlton? You can't possibly be serious

Alongside the best small forward of all-time.

Would have been so much more painful than the Whaley/Sanogo lineup, which was already pretty painful

Miss Jalen Adam's. Someone like him would have made our team much better.

CV on this team takes us to the final four

Seems like Houston brought some fans to the game today. Kind of surprising since ny memory of us playing at their empty arena .....

The game is in San Antonio. They have plenty of alumni and fans

Best UConn player to never have a decent team around him.

 

[HuskyHawk]

While we are here, saw that McDermott got a contract extension from Creighton. UConn better figure them out, and fast.

Hard agree. Loved Jalen. He's exactly what this team was missing- just a bigger guard who could get his own bucket when needed. And also another ballhandler.
And with Cole, Jalen could play a little more off ball, which is what he was best suited for. Or as a 1.5. He wasn't quite a 1, but he certainly wasn't a 2.

I suppose, alternatively, we could've used James Bouknight for his Junior season.

Josh still has not learned how to box out

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Houston's recovery defense is insane lol. They are so athletic.

 

[Jaker]

These are some great games.

 

[auror]

I think Houston might win the title.

 

[superjohn]

Tech can't guard Williams at all at the rim and yet they're tied up with 4 minutes left.

 

[alphasigko]

I think Houston might win the title.

Good possibility if they get by this game

I thought Arizona was the weakest 1 seed, so I am not sure how much of this is Houston being good vs. Arizona being just "meh" for a 1 seed.

 

[Jaker]

Houston is darn good, jeeze

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Tech letting this slip away. Bummer.

 

[superjohn]

Duke puke

 

[gtcam]

Houston is playing without arguably its two best players who were both injured in December.
Not many teams can do that and still be playing at this point
Sampson is one hell of a coach

 

[navery12]

Texas Tech letting 21 seconds go off the shot clock before fouling is gonna cost them this game

They destroyed Illinois and are beating Arizona pretty handily. They were in the Final Four last year.
They're really good.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Nova V Houston will be a very interesting game. I like Nova though, I think they're the most poised and consistent team left in the tournament. Also the best shooting team left.

 

[GetTheFacts]

Josh Carlton turning into a star player for probably the best team in America right now is not something I saw coming. Not really sure how he was so poor at UConn.

 

[storrsroars]

Tech letting this slip away. Bummer.

A rat and a roach going to elite eight. Houston must exterminate.
