Friday Night Sweet Sixteen & Dook

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

St Peters > Rutgers

 

[gsmooth]

St. Peter’s is ahead. How did this team lose to Iona twice, Rider, Sacred Heart? I don’t get it

yup. They also lost to St John’s by 14 as well. SJU is better than those teams u mentioned but they did not come close to the Big Dance

 

[BugsyCT]

Purdue got George Masoned.

The drought continues. No since 1980.

PC threatening

 

[Tommyboy]

All those UCLA and UNC fans that pulled for St Peters tonight might be in for a rude awakening Sunday.

 

[Scoe]

PC threatening

That was a big sequence there had it within 5 with the ball then the turnover and the alley oop for KU now down 7.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

It is a miracle that PC has kept the game this close. PC looks totally outmatched, plus the refs are being very friendly for Kansas.

Hope they go to 12 overtimes tonight.

 

[Scoe]

PC was fouled there.

What else is new?

 

[nelsonmuntz]

The NCAA has to stop with the fake shots resulting in foul shots. Those plays are terrible for the game, and look ridiculous to the casual fan. Martens stepping in front of the PC defender then backing into him and throwing up a prayer for 3 free throws was a ridiculous play.

 

[HuskyHawk]

FT contest from here. Haven’t been good tonight.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Friars close, but it’ll take some breaks now.

Cronin made 1 Sweet 16 in 13 seasons in Cincinnati, and is on track for 2 Final Fours in 3 seasons at UCLA.

 

[Tommyboy]

Since when is a 79% free throw shooter a lights out shooter? Thought they reserved that for like 90 and above?

Hopefull. I don’t mind UCLA, but I definitely don’t want to see UNC in the FF

Me either.

 

[TRest]

Way to execute.

80% is very top tier. He has been awful shooting FT tonight. McCormick too.

Disagree refs were unfair but first half they called nothing second half called everything. Just inconsistent.

Meh. The way they were talking about him I thought Mark Price was at the line.

 

[BGesus4]

Is there a bigger possible juxtaposition in college coaching than Cooley v Self?

Looks like evil wins this time around

 

[Scoe]

Ugh, KU in the FF unless Iowa St or Miami can pull a VCU on them.

Wilson travels and/or commits an offensive foul almost every time he drives.

 

[methodology]

Hope they go to 12 overtimes tonight.

I hope it’s 5 so UConn still has th record for longest game

Congrats man

St. Peter's +13 was like stealing. 15 seeds have covered 100% in Sweet 16. The lines are always way too big considering the team's form. Congrats to them on winning outright and making history. Starting to think Holloway can do better than Seton Hall. He's adding a million to his initial contract each win though.

Providence +6.5 was also a winner, although a little bumpier ride. I trusted the fact that every game they play is within 6 points.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Props to PC. They lost to a better team but played them tight. No shame in that. A historic season for the Friars.

I have had a brutal week at work and will be in the office all weekend so I had a couple cocktails early and my judgment might be clouded, but that offensive foul called on Braun in the first couple minutes might have been the single worst charge call I’ve ever seen. I have no idea what Reggie Miller was talking about.

I think you might actually hit on this, dammit.

Hey Providence had a great year. They made the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1997 and won the first BE regular season title. They will look dramatically different next year as most of their players are seniors
