OT: Friday Sweet 16 Games

[WhereistheDove?]

Is Texas really this good missing one of its best players? They look unbeatable.

They’re on pace for about 60 points. Maybe “unbeatable” is a little strong.

 

[superjohn]

No. Xavier looks winded. Do they have a flu bug going through that team?

They're only 6 deep because of injuries.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Considering how poorly Xavier's shot from the floor, Texas should be up 15-20 points. Instead, they're only up 6 at the under 8 timeout.

This game is over.

 

[HuskyHawk]

It seems like they'll probably take out Xavier who can't make layups. If he's out against Miami, though, my guess is that it'll be Miami v. Gonzaga/UConn winner

Either way, it seems like the 4 best teams remaining after tonight may all be on the same side of the bracket. Somehow I think K-State is going to come out of the left side.

Tyrese Hunter man. He moves different.

 

[uconnfan68]

You beat me to it. That ‘s maybe it why I hate Miami. Just kidding I just hate them and their uniforms.

Hated them since Darius Rice.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Xavier still has some of the Travis Steele on them. They will just quit on a game if they are struggling early, and it appears they have done that tonight.

 

[auror]

Well should get 2 BE at least,

 

[gsmooth]

Hate to say it but it looks like Xavier is done with that half court heave at buZzer

 

[Castlevania]

buzzer beater dagger

 

[Revrat]

This is men against boys. Xavier just can't handle Texas at all.

 

[Marat]

Texas vs Miami will be interesting.

 

[uconngb]

Creighton rolling though

 

[HuskyHawk]

This is men against boys. Xavier just can't handle Texas at all.

Texas has been the team I least wanted to face all tournament. But it’s looking inevitable.

 

[alphasigko]

That kid Carr for TX is a baller

 

[giddyup]

2 BE teams in the E8 is pretty good rep.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Texas seems like only team which can match UConn size, speed, athleticism and skill.

[HuskyHawk]

Creighton simply missing endless open shots.

 

[huskyjawz]

Out of five!

 

[superjohn]

Creighton leaving the door open, they've had a bunch of chances for the killshot and never took advantage.

 

[superjohn]

Creighton simply missing endless open shots.

They should be up 20.

 

[Hunt for 7]

Texas is good. I had them coming out of that region in all but one bracket 4/5. I think they were right there with UConn pre tourney as I have UConn coming out of the west 4/5 in most of my brackets.

But Gonzaga is going to be a great game. I think if we can start quickly we can wear them down. Of course the key is Timme but they are very efficient and that puts their average players in good scoring position. I did not see anything that I would say looked like great guard play. They had four players log more than 30 minutes.And other than Timme only Strawther scored double figures but it took him fifteen shots. They did get 50 rebounds. If we play a good game not great game we have a great chance to go to Houston.

Creighton looks like they are wearing down Princeton. So worse case scenario big East has 1/4 of the elite eight. Big 10 zero. When will the selection committee end their favoritism. This may be the purest sports spectacle left. We need to go with the rating systems because the NET and KenPom until tonight we’re much better at ranking /seeding teams than a group of donor influenced politicians. Disgraceful. Villanova was better than at least one of the Big 10 teams that made it.

Big East either the best or second best conference in America this year. Go HUSKIES!!! Drive for Five baby!!!

 

[auror]

Scheierman doing his part. 5/6 from 3.

SDSU impressed me.
