Elite 8 Thread

K really does look like the offspring of Hitler mating with a rat. Izzo looks like an opossum.

Duke fans cannot be happy with that talent level and not making a Final 4.

Pathetic.

MSU played better as a unit imo. You could tell they've had time together.

Winston was a stud. Shifty and crafty.

Barrett totally botching the free throws is such a poetic ending to their season. What an awesome tournament.

UConn ladies - win
Squid U - loss
Dook - loss

Today was a good day.

 

[superjohn]

I had Texas Tech beating the winner of this game.

Jim Nantz brought up how the one and done days are almost over and these one and done teams are not winning championships. Glad he said it.

 

[intlzncster]

What are they going to talk about at the final 4 with no Zion?

Zion.

 

[superjohn]

Wow!
This is the best non-UConn Final 4 in quite some time.

Would have been damn near perfect had Purdue won.

For all you don't foul up 3 because it's so easy, I point you to RJ Barrett trying to miss a FT for the tip out

 

[mauconnfan]

So happy I don’t have to hear about them anymore, only a UConn win would’ve made me feel better than this.

 

[Travelman6]

Wow!
This is the best non-UConn Final 4 in quite some time.

God, imagine if vtech had taken out duke and then msu, would have been even better. Would have liked to see Purdue take out Virginia, that would have been even more amazing. That's the perfect non UConn all p5 ffour IMO but I'll take this.

It’s really hard to win a National Championship - 4

 

[superjohn]

This Duke team was one of the most overrated in recent memory. It was all Zion with lefty Barrett drives and occasional threes from Reddish mixed in.

 

[tzznandrew]

I'm watching. This will be much more pleasant to watch.

We're the die hards. We don't make the ratings.

UConn WBB wins, UNC goes down, Calipari sucks wind and now K suffers the ignominy of not getting to the final four with his pros. I hope he closes the locker room door on his nose. He is a f’en phony. Never had a problem with Izzo, and most guys stay four, even five years.

A little harder cause he was trying to keep it near the rim for Zion tip in.

You can find examples either way. I don't really have a dog in the fight.

I just loathe giving the other team a chance to win.

thought K did a very poor job of coaching Z, the fact that they were not posting him everytime is crazy.

 

[B1GEast]

One shining moment without dook, unc, kentucky or kansas cutting doen the nets.

 

[ASweet3781]

ESPN centered their entire 2019 NCAA men's season coverage on a team that didn't even make the Final 4.

Texas Tech reminds me of the old BE tough defensive teams. It has been an outstanding tournament.

The dookies are complaining about his poor coaching performance as well

 

[UconnU]

I’m more excited to learn about this scientist who is bringing the woolly mammoth back from extinction than I was for those games.

Texas Tech reminds me of the old BE tough defensive teams. It has been an outstanding tournament.

After a first round of more or less mediocre games, the second weekend displayed a great deal of excellent basketball, smart coaching, and tight matchups.

The Final Four is going to be good. I just feel bad for Auburn since the adrenaline of losing Okeke is likely going to be over, and Virginia is tough, particularly now that they've broken through.

Ironically, Duke’s favorable foul treatment came back to haunt them.
