OT: Friday Sweet 16 Games

[upstater]

Miami looks to me like a legitimate rival to UConn in terms of athleticism. And that’s saying something, because I don’t think any other opponent so far this year could make that claim.

I just looked at their schedule. They had a really good season. Beat a lot of good teams, their losses are to the upper half of the ACC.

They are a legitimate threat. They could easily be the best team left.

Creighton is a very difficult matchup for Princeton. It may be for the best, SD St would grind Princeton into dust.

 

[tuvent08]

Rewatching some of the Alabama game and they regularly just had guys in the wrong place at the wrong time.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Creighton could be very dangerous if it starts getting any production from its bench.

Oats coached a bad game too. I have no idea why he had them fouled down by 2 with 46 seconds left. Also he needed to call a time out when SD St was coming back from 48- 39

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

UConn and Miami are playing better than everyone else.

They're the only two schools whose MBB & WBB teams are still playing.

 

[UCOnions]

Princeton ain't goin away

 

[Devland]

Weird tournament. Except for Princeton, all double digit seeds were gone before sweet 16. If Texas loses, no 1 or 2 seeds in elite 8. Good year to be a middle seed.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

If Miami holds on, this Tournament is suddenly wide open.

Imagine if we beat Gonzaga and then have to go through Xavier and Creighton to win the title, after Hurley talked about how great it is to be out of conference play.

You test my resolve to keep looking no further ahead than the upcoming game.

 

[SouleMan]

Nice response from Princeton

 

[Umami Zen]

Bama/Houston were two of my biggest concerns match-up wise.. Things trending in the right direction.. Lets bring it tomorrow

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Kalkbrenner doesn’t seem like he wants to be out there. Very little effort on the offensive or defensive ends.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I feel like Larranaga was a senior citizen in 2006 and he looks the same 17 years later

Imagined me the portrait in his attic.

 

[metsfan2323]

Princeton is a legit good team, shocking that they seem just as athletic as Creighton.

 

[tuvent08]

Princeton is entertaining

 

[gsmooth]

Damn Princeton won't go away. They r not just happy to be here

 

[traitor71]

Imagined me the portrait in his attic.

When he went to Miami, people said he was going there to retire. Christ, we should all have as good of a 4th quarter of life as he is having.

 

[TRest]

Kalkbrenner cant keep an Ivy team away from the rim.

 

[metsfan2323]

The Big East should offer Princeton, Yale, and Harvard invites if they are raided by the B12.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I am guessing that everyone rooting for Princeton has not met anyone from Princeton. It is a university of pretentious rich kids who having nothing but contempt for anyone not from Princeton, Yale or Harvard.

Ivy's nowadays are more diverse than some big state schools, especially those down south. There are still a decent amount of legacy kids that come from money but it's not the ivy league of the 80s

 

[auror]

Houston D way in Xaviers head.

The basketball players are nothing like that.

 

[superjohn]

Creighton getting backdoored to death and Xavier missing layups. Come on guys...

 

[superjohn]

It's kind of shocking to see Creighton's D get lit up like this.

 

[tzznandrew]

How many bunnies can Xavier miss?

 

[AzHusky]

Texas TO baby

 

[HuskyHawk]

It's kind of shocking to see Creighton's D get lit up like this.

McDermott adjusted. He was letting them lure Kalkbrenner outside. Creighton is going to wear them down.

 

[HuskyHawk]

How many bunnies can Xavier miss?

I don’t know but both Kansas losses to Texas looked like that. They speed you up and make you rush and make mistakes. That defense is very good.
