ELITE 8 - Day One

[BugsyCT]

This half of the bracket is so much weaker than the teams playing tomorrow.

All the more reason why Cincy and Houston effed up and UK as well.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Michigan is competitive and shows up in the tournament year in and year out, yet you never hear Beilein's name come up among the best coaches.

 

[Robertelamin]

I don't know what FSU is doing right now.

 

[UConn990411]

Reggie Miller is one of the worst announcers out there.

PATRICK BEILEIN

If he finishes my bracket, he will

 

[Robertelamin]

PATRICK BEILEIN

I was hoping it would have been Kevin Pittsnoogle.

 

[ASweet3781]

Boy did Houston blow an opportunity.

 

[UCFan1513]

Boy did Houston blow an opportunity.

And Cincinnati

 

[uconngb]

I like Beilein, very underrated coach. I have no problem w Michigan. FSU crapped their pants at the end of that game. They totally panicked with some of those 3s they were chucking up.

 

[Rocktheworld]

What an ugly game

But F FSU and all the trash (including line cutters) associated with it, if one team had to win I’m less upset it was Michigan

 

[superjohn]

I can appreciate that. For me it might go back to 1989 when Seton Hall got the mother of all screwings against Michigan.

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.

Agreed, he's absolutely one of the best. The Pittsnogle Gansey coached WVU team is still one of my favorites.

That was some Grade A stupidity down the stretch.

 

[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.

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.

 

[Jaker]

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

 

[intlzncster]

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

 

[tzznandrew]

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
