Elite 8 Sunday games

[HuskyHawk]

Well we get to wear the white throwbacks. We’re the top seed.

 

[GlastonTim]

Wow

 

[REB1094]

What an amazing comeback. That was great to watch. I love March so much

 

[jorge34]

28 free throws made, to 11 for texas

32-15 advantage

[Waquoit]

On the heels of the call against Wong, that would have been brutal if not changed.

One might have thought the game was fixed

 

[rman726]

Miami is impressive being down double digits in the second half and coming back and snatching victory from a good team.

Danny Hurley needs to pound this into the team this week. We need to play 40 minutes against this team.

 

[upstater]

Miami really did deserve to be ranked higher this year. They started off the season great and the voters were very late to recognize it

 

[superjohn]

Miami, has great one on one guards and they can put runs on you if you fall asleep on defense. They make their ft's. They should have no answer for our size advantage. Play good perimeter D and we should kill them down low scoring and control the boards.

 

[Waquoit]

Really not looking forward to a whole week of George Mason narratives.

I'll just yawn.

 

[Ripper32]

The ACC was down but Miami has players. They don't have a trad center. Poplar is sorta a utility knife like AJ but a better scorer.

 

[EnochRoot]

Miami knocking off Texas to prevent the Longhorns from what would amount to being a home game in the semi final is the best case scenario for the Huskies.

 

[gmc1055]

Miami plays too much one on one. Texas was more athletic. Like our chances. They do hit their foul shots though.

 

[NutmegDog]

I'm pretty sure the Miami players did not line up to shake hands with the Texas players.. The Cane coaches did, but not the players. I think that is bush league and doesn't speak well for the program. You came back, you won... before you pray or do anything else, shake your opponents' hands like grown ups.

 

[Kitaman]

Miami has an impressive Tourney resume beating Indiana, Houston, and Texas.

We better be ready cuz they command respect. Not seeing why people anticipate a problem less game.

 

[HuskyHawk]

28 free throws made, to 11 for texas

32-15 advantage

And Miami got away with hacking like crazy, especially on the boards. But it is what it is.

 

[rman726]

Miami knocking off Texas to prevent the Longhorns from what would amount to being a home game in the semi final is the best case scenario for the Huskies.

Agreed. Miami is a very good team. But it's the Final Four. Every team is going to be a very good team at this point. You don't win four tournament games otherwise. However, Texas has the ability to be a truly great team, as we saw the first 30 minutes of the game. Not having to have to play a road game against them is the best option.

Really not looking forward to a whole week of George Mason narratives.

Any George Mason narrative needs to include George Mason's loss to Florida in the semifinal. I'm glad Texas doesn't get to have a home game next weekend.

 

[BugsyCT]

We have a week to prepare. We’ll be ready.

 

[gtcam]

Love Wong's game but he isn't the Miami team - they are athletic, long and quick
I would rather face them than Texas because I feel we match up better vs Miami but this will be UConn's most difficult opponent so far
We'll see
Let's go UConn

 

[UCTitleTown]

No comments from the studio crew means Charles Barkley doesn't have to admit to another bad pick.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Miami plays too much one on one. Texas was more athletic. Like our chances. They do hit their foul shots though.

I think Texas went to too much one on one with Allen. They had 20 assists but none during Miamis run. Texas didn’t look like an elite defense either. They defended the 3 that’s all

 

[UCfor3]

Miami makes me real nervous.

Their guards are a handful for sure. Score at all three levels. We are better if we play the way we are capable. By no means though do I think this will be a walkover like the previous 4 games. This game could be a tight one and the only thing that scares me is in close games, the team with guards that can get their own usually have an advantage.

 

[huskyharry]

Between Allen and Rice, last years loss to NMSU doesn't seem so bad in retrospect.

True but then they stunk the next game

Miami's offense scares the hell out of me. Having said that, as good as Norchad Omier is, he isn't a 3pt shooter like Eric Dixon. Hopefully that means Sanogo and Clingan can provide help defense because Miami's guards are so good 1x1.
