Gotta root for TAMU now

Well then you're about to have a really bad day.

Odd end of game management by NC St

!

 

[Sched234]

Indiana won't beat Arizona or A&M. They don't have enough athletes to get to the Final Four. Also if what we saw is how they shoot Free Throws then they definitely won't win.

Lol is A&M loaded with stellar athletes??

Well at least Im getting a free ribeye steak meal for dinner.... i can drown my sorrows in caesar dressing

 

[JordyG]

Really?

Yeah sure. NC State was -1.5. Wait. That means IU wasn't favored. My bad.

Lo siento. And I want to like this post, but cannot endorse caesar dressing.

So a pick 'em, basically. Odd for a 1 v 4, even down a player.

Where's the A1? Where's the tabasco? Where's the Red Hot?

 

[RedStickHusky]

So, do I finish justice league or watch this last game?

Watch two episodes of "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" instead.

On my list... Not overly impressed with JL but I've got three hours invested..

Gonna watch some of the game first though... Still early in central time

I like Coach Wes... he can admit his errors.

Yeah can’t endorse

Tough for NCSt to be without a starter from midway through the first round. But IU played well and the Big10 is making rude gestures at the NCAA committee with every game they play!

Sorry but Indiana was a slight favorite..

"we maybe would have gotten a better look". Ya think?

NC State has the distinction of being the first #1 seed to be eliminated from this year’s field. 😩

 

[Plebe]

LSU didn’t

Brilliantly played by Nikki. You can't underachieve in a tournament you don't play in!

I'll go with Indiana nipping North Carolina State, particularly if Kayla Jones is still out. Jones averages 11+ ppg and just under 8 rpg. If she's in, Wolfpack are on full cylinders. If not, that helps the Hoosiers, who only play two forwards. But those forwards -- Gulbe and Holmes -- play tough defense and rebound well.

And Holmes is a pesky offensive player who has some McHale-like moves around the basket that could annoy Cunane no end.

Ultimately, I like Indiana because Ali Patberg does not get fazed and Grace Berger is unrelenting with her drives and pull-up jumpers. She's strong on and off the ball and both she and Patberg tend to get other people in foul trouble, not the other way around.

Low-scoring affair with IU just pulling ahead enough to hit the Elite 8.

Good morning. I didn't comment on the board last night because it was my wife's birthday: extended family zoom call, cooking dinner and the like. Fun. My wife did let me watch the UConn-Iowa game early on while she hung out in the sun, but no go on IU and NC State.

I did, however, remember making this prediction on Friday, which goes to show you even an Irish fan stuck in a two-year chasm can have a day in the sun! 👍

IU's starting five all were in double figures. Along with Michigan's Leigha Brown, this team is trying to resurrect the mid-range jumper!
Gulbe is a nice complement to Holmes, who is just a blast to watch. Cardano-Hillary was clutch but this was still the work of the dynamic duo of Patberg and Berger. Really happy for Ali.
