ELITE 8 - Day One

[uconndoit]

Did I just hear Kansas State has a freshman starter from Ellington, CT?

And Syracuse's Paschal Chukwu was born in Westport?

 

[the Q]

How much money is Pitt throwing at porter moser in about 10 days?

Congrats to Loyola. What a tourney run they've put on.

Nigeria. Close

 

[the Q]

I saw it and I still believe what I just saw.

 

[The Funster]

Oh look, another losing team that shakes hands with a celebratory winning team...unlike the chumps from Kentucky.

Yes - Westport is listed as his "hometown". Whatever that means.

Yeah, maybe we should have waited for him. Love how he plays with 4 guards who can all score and big guy who can pass. I wish we could have had a couple shooters playing with JA this year.

His guardians live there.

Loyola is a really good basketball team. They play tough defense, play team basketball and they can shoot. If they were in the Big East they’d be a 4 seed.

That Sneed kid from K-State can play on my team anytime. Kid’s a warrior.

Loyola is probably playing in the NIT is Wichita didn’t move to the AAC this season.

Chukwu wanted to transfer to Uconn, but I understand that Ollie gave him the snub?

Oh, boy. That figures.

2 hours earlier:

That’s the problem with playing in a 1-bid league. The selection committee is always going to take the 8th team from the ACC over the 2nd from the Missouri Valley. Because they all rely on pseudo scientific data.

But the Squid says they meant no disrespect.
So there’s that.

Ollie who?

 

[Travelman6]

Loyola is such a fun story. Despite less at large bids being given to mid majors this year than ever before, one finds their way to the final four any way!! I am sure next year a loyola like team will be left out because this is the last thing the committee wants, what a pity. Mid majors get little justice in March.

 

[tzznandrew]

Well, they won't win the title, but this 11 seed is legit. They're a good team and this is obviously America's team at this point.

 

[Fishy]

They seriously only take threes and layups

They’re good at math.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Matthews is a really good player. Love his intensity

 

[mauconnfan]

Another guy just came in that was almost a Husky Cofer FSU

 

[mauconnfan]

Wagner wanted to come to UConn but KO said no nazi’s I heard.
