Elite 8 Sunday games

[superjohn]

Texas looks small to me.

Both teams are small.

 

[jorge34]

Jay Wright just said the other side of that argument. That foul was not called the whole game, and then it was called at the end to win the game.

That’s precisely the point. Be consistent. They weren’t .

I just can't buy into Miami. Maybe Pitt is a bad matchup for them, but in the two games vs Pitt, Miami was really no better than Pitt. Pitt won by 3 at home, lost by 2 in Miami as their last shot to win hit the rim. Wang didn't do much either game.

Their guards are great, and Miller can be a problem, but Omier is the most important guy Miami has in my opinion. That kid goes after it in the paint.

 

[navery12]

Both teams are small.

Yup, Miami is 224th in average height and Texas is 274th (UConn is 28th for reference). And that's with Disu who's their biggest player and out

Texas will not negotiate with Terry until the season is over. Nothing would be more Texas than to let Terry go and pay whatever it costs to buy Calipari out of his lifetime contract that Kentucky is trying to figure out how to fire Calipari from. That is what I am rooting for.

 

[upstater]

Not sure who to root for here. Go Texas!!

 

[Huskydog45]

If they were calling the game tight then I would understand that call more, but they were mugging each other the entire game

Again totally different when the player is driving to the basket and the defender is trailing….cant clench his body in mid air during the act of shooting

The only thing I know about them is that Cornell scored 105 on them so I'm guessing they're not stout defensively.

 

[geohusky]

Not sure who we want

 

[BarkingDog]

That shot over the backboard should count. And if it’s against the rule, the rule stinks.

 

[superjohn]

I've never understood why that shot doesn't count, I hate that rule.

 

[Ratso]

Not sure who to root for here. Go Texas!!

I was cheering for creighton until I realized who cares if they’re BE, I don’t like them

 

[jibsey]

Defense on 3s looks weak for both teams?

 

[firstnline]

Miami needs to hang close at the half.

 

[Karmacop]

Miami’s perimeter defense is fairly atrocious

 

[UCfor3]

This is like watching a different sport after the offensive ineptness of the first game.

 

[Hoophound]

Both Miami and Texas look really tough. I’ll be real impressed if we squash either of these teams.

 

[aburks41]

Texas: scary good from 3.

Miami: scary bad at defending the 3

 

[fatlucy]

Both teams are fast and athletic.

 

[UCfor3]

I'd like to avoid the sluggish first half shooting against Texas. They are a team that scores easy and we could see a halftime deficet if we are not careful.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Texas got this. That’s game

 

[CardiacAndre7]

These teams just don’t miss apparently.
