Elite 8 thread

the skill, athleticism and basketball acumen is so night and day between these two games.

2 power teams matching up vs the two mid-majors we saw earlier tonight.

Hope would a Divy II fan know what skill and athleticism is?

That Moore injury is rough. As we know with Akok if that really is his Achilles he is out for a full year.

It sucks, I think Nova was going to win this tournament. It sucks for Nova and it really sucks for Moore.

Every year, I wonder what Grant Hill did to earn his way to primetime games. He’s so bad.

 

[BugsyCT]

We'll never hear the end of a Duke-UNC semi from the talking heads. Barf-o-rama.

How is he not banned w this garbage

If that’s an achilles tear that completely changes Nova next season too. Moore would be out the entire year.

They'll miss Moore, but with all the complaints here about Hurley not playing kids, here's what Wright has on bench:

Bryan Antoine - 5 star, 2019 recruit
Trey Patterson - 4 star, 2020
Jordan Longino - 4 star, 2021
Angelo Brizzi - 4 star, 2021
Mark Armstrong - 4 star, 2022
Brendan Hausen - 4 star, 2022

Not going to be much help for next weekend, but I imagine he'll figure something out.

Duke looks really good. So many guys who can shoot and get their own off the bounce. 7 guys have played for them tonight: basically all five stars and then Theo John lol.

Yeah I think there’s something to be said for having an absolute s load of talent on your roster. Good strategy.

If it’s a Duke v Kansas finals, which it probably will be, I’m not watching. Easily my two most hated programs.

I'm going to mentally prepare myself for this Angelo Brizzi guy to be a nightmare for the next 3 years.

Doesn't work for Calipari most of the the time.

This would he worst ending if K wins on his way out.

Nova did go 4-3 vs P5 this season (3-3 vs ranked P5). But you knew that.

I take it you didn't watch the Baylor-Nova game in December

Either K wins a chip on his way out or KU ties us with 4 chips. A Sophie’s choice.

Squid can’t carry jay wrights jock strap.


Moore’s a fantastic player. It hurts and will hurt them , but if any school can withstand that loss next weekend it’s nova and the way that jay plays and recruits interchangeable pieces.

Well you have to be able to coach just a smidge. Big difference there.

 

[uconngb]

Cmon Hogs!!!

C’mon those are not remotely comparable. The media will sing about coach K for all of eternity if he wins, if u don’t believe there are future championships at UConn, “you are wasting your time here” - Fishy

 

[gtcam]

Lets go St Petes
Thats all I have left

 

[Ripper32]

Nova has no Longino or Moore. I think they are outgunned going forward. He really doesn't play anybody else.

The Squid has won 76% of all the college games he has coached
As much as I dislike the guy that is impressive

 

[MexicoHusky]

This blows. Had to watch decades of stupid Tobacco Road promotion. UNC v Duke in FF looks likely. I guess I'll have to root for UNC. At least I like Hubert Davis.

He cheated for 100% of them
