ELITE 8 - Day One

[billybud]

That was some Grade A stupidity down the stretch.

Typical Hamilton coaching...defense...crappy offense.

Drives are working...so stop driving. Put your ineffective bigs back in...oops! Go back to the smalls, but too late.

Still had it within 3 at the minute mark...but stupid coaching.

 

[billybud]

But...ole Ham collected $825,000 in bonus money for getting to the 8...

 

[RichZ]

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

He said the other guys were busy celebrating. Can't have his guys out there waiting for the other team to finish celebrating, just to shake their hands. 'Specially 'cause they're, you know, so very young.

And make sure to tightly guard the worst FT-shooting player on Michigan so he doesn’t receive the inbounds pass.

 

[the Q]

The worst screw job in the history of sports and not many people seem to remember it or know about it. Seton Hall is still the 1989 champs in my eyes.

2010 Boston Celtics and it’s not even close.

It made the 2002 lakers Kings look like it’s on the up and up.

Frankly I’d put 2001 Maryland above 89 seton hall.

Pulling for T-Tech today, really have a nice team.

And Bob Knight's -"Knight School" kind of put them on the map.

 

[Jaker]

T-Tech came to play

Great D by Nova and TT still gets the bucket.

 

[RichZ]

Having trouble watching nova/tt because of the refs favoring the #1 seed so much. TT will have 15 fouls by halftime. Spellman just used an obvious hook to drive from the foul line and they called the foul on TT.

 

[Jaker]

Amazing how fast Nova can turn on the switch

Villanova/Kansas or, more likely, Villanova/Duke, is just going to be a damn good game.

It's hard to see Michigan or Loyola beating any of those teams. Their best bet is Kansas.

 

[intlzncster]

Texas Tech is a very good team but they really struggle to score. They've compounded it by taking a bunch of bad shots, especially after the first 8min or so.

Add Nova's great team D and it's gonna be a tough get for TT.

 

[intlzncster]

This game is just about over.

 

[Mr. French]

This game is just about over.

I was posting in the “Sunday games” thread wondering why no one was really talking; now I see it’s bc you’re in here, lol

 

[BugsyCT]

Forgot about this. If they had social media back then New Jersey would have exploded.

2 fouls could’ve been called in the backcourt.

 

[intlzncster]

TT just got bumped good going to the rim. Getting fouled on most screens.

Not much convo here really either.

 

[intlzncster]

Villanova is freakin everywhere on D. Amazing.

 

[intlzncster]

The Italian freshman on TT, Moretti. We sniffed at him for a minute, no?

 

[intlzncster]

Villanove gets away with some serious crap.

 

[the Q]

This is the type of game nova has lost in past tourneys. Like last year.

Yeah, I spoke too soon earlier. If they weren't in fould trouble, I'd say I never thought they were in danger.

I was surprised at the foul trouble, as I see TT getting hacked all the time. So I guess they are calling it, but there's only so much you can call...this is the ol' BE Pitt basketball strategy.

Michigan st could beat a player wih a steel chair the right way and not get a foul called against them.

Only duke and unc get similar treatment.
