Friday Sweet Sixteen Games

[Travelman6]

This cuse team has to be one of the worst power conference sweet 16 teams I have ever seen.

This cuse team has to be one of the worst power conference sweet 16 teams I have ever seen.

worst offensive team in tourney history

 

[the Q]

And they try to dunk and he misses it.

Wow

 

[the Q]

The calls duke is getting here are laughable.

 

[Scoe]

Duke got away with a walk surprise, surprise.

If Cuse loses I want them to get blown out or on a controversial call, I wanna see them lose the cruelest way possible.

 

[the Q]

Duke got away with a walk surprise, surprise.

That was probably 2 walks.

 

[the Q]

If they’re gonna duke get away with all that and give them all that, cuse has no chance

 

[BugsyCT]

Every time the camera shows either Syracuse or Duke players/coaches, I want that team to lose this game.

It's very conflicting.

 

[Mr. French]

I dislike Grayson Allen, but since he was in high school I’ve loved his game.

As soon as I saw he selected Duke, I knew I wouldn’t root for him. Then he confirmed he was a bit douchey for 3 years straight.

But offensively, I like his game a lot.

he literally travels more than anyone else in CBB.

This Purdue/Texas Tech game is good. Two evenly matched teams. Much better than the pillow fight on CBS.

 

[UConnStats]

That Clemson +5 cover was insane. Down 20 with 10 minutes left and they lose by 4.

 

[Mr. French]

Trying to understand why Duke is playing this extended zone.

I think I understand why, in theory, but I think it’s too easy to beat.

 

[Scoe]

Cuse can't dunk lol.

 

[the Q]

Cuse can't dunk lol.

If they could this game would be over.

How many shots inside of 2 feet can you miss?

 

[JMick]

Just checked my work pool bracket for the first time since the opening round. If Duke loses and Purdue wins then mathematically I win. Not looking good right now lol.

For the most part the game has had a Cuse feel to it but Duke could run away with it at anytime.

 

[uconnphil2016]

Bagley is obscene. Best player in college basketball

 

[BugsyCT]

The B12 has had themselves a tourney. If Texas Tech holds on they have 3 teams in the Elite 8.

He spent tonight’s game proving he can’t shoot NBA 3’s then finally made one step in shot when cuse should have made him shoot another from deep. I’ve hated him less this year but only because he’s proven to be not good enough to warrant that strong of a reaction.

This is how you recruit and coach basketball. Jay Wright and Nova recruiting class rankings:

From 247
2015 - 29
2014 - 48
2013 - 36
2012 - 27

From ESPN
2015 - 24
2014 - 37
2013 - 31
2012 - >25

That team is Villanova. Those classes led to a NC. They are currently a 1 seed. Their 2016 class rankings were 45 and 33 respectively.

It's not always finding the "best" players, it's finding the "right" players. JC was excellent at this, obviously Jay Wright is too, and I think Hurley has shown he has this quality as well. I'm too lazy to look it up, but I'm sure most of his URI guys were "under the radar" types and those cats could play.

Why isn’t there basketball on TV right now.

 

[intlzncster]

Why isn’t there basketball on TV right now.

I gotta say, the scheduling of game times this year has stunk. So much 'dead air' during bad matchups and what have you. And late starts that had people playing after midnight EST.
