Friday Sweet Sixteen Games

[Scoe]

Bagley is a beast.

 

[Jaker]

watch dook lay an egg, f'ers

 

[Rocktheworld]

I really think they took a page out of 2014 Uconn.

Lol plenty of Nova’s roster has first hand knowledge of what a championship team looks like

 

[whaler11]

Jennifer Garner and Captain Obvious is worse than a Kentucky/Duke final.

 

[whaler11]

And deport Reba for these stupid KFC commercials.

 

[Scoe]

Lol the current Nova seniors (and last year’s juniors) have first hand knowledge of what a championship team looks like

I mean Jay Wright specifically, I think he has learned to become a better coach.

 

[KembaSlice]

I mean, depends on how you define blue bloods. UCLA-Kentucky-UNC-Duke-Kansas-Indiana are that upper echelon. Any level beyond that--UConn-Michigan State-Michigan-Syracuse-Louisville-Arizona-Villanova--gets debatable. But Syracuse is in that conversation.

Yes, but the fact that hardly anyone wants to consider UConn a blue blood and referring to Cuse as one is what grinds my gears. 4 > 1

 

[Hurleyman216]

I don’t see anyone beating Nova at this point the way they’re playing. This is their tournament to lose as long as Brunson is playing for them...

 

[Rocktheworld]

I mean Jay Wright specifically, I think he has learned to become a better coach.

ASweet’s first good take of their posting history was an observation that these recent Nova teams finally learned to rip an opposing team’s throat out

Gotta wonder what they/Wright did to turn that corner. Maybe 10 years of coming so close finally did it

 

[Jaker]

LOL K calls his defense "orange"

 

[tzznandrew]

I mean, we're essentially Indiana, if Indiana had done anything in 30 years.

If they're blue bloods, so are we.

But I take your point.

What are the benefits of being a ‘Blue Blood’?

Don McLean was strumming his gittar in Westwood the last time UCLA mattered.

(I know UCLA was good after that but I wanted to type gittar).

Orange you glad you’ve already faced this gimmick defense twice already this season?

We're one awful coached inbounds defensive set from this basically being true anyway.

 

[Jaker]

Cuse is going to win this game, book it

But I take your point.

It turns out ‘Blue Blood’ really just means you had a long time successful coach when newspaper writers were still important.

Nobody under 40 gives two poops about Indiana.

 

[Scoe]

Feeding Bagley is probably a good idea.

 

[intlzncster]

One Shining Moment will be literal. After Loyola wins - Jesus himself comes and takes Sister Jean to heaven.

It’s just one day off the Good Friday/Easter nexus.

I don't know about all that religious sh it, but she will have a heart attack.

The game sort of changed around him somewhat to his advantage.

Ryan Arcidiacano was a pretty common CBB player from 1980-2000.

Today he is like the rarest Pokemon.

If you can get very good and very experienced - that’s the only way to take down the basketball factories at Carolina, Duke and Kentucky.

 

[Robertelamin]

Blue Bloods is a show on CBS starring Tom Selleck and the target audience are Blue Hairs.

 

[whaler11]

I don't know about all that religious sh it, but she will have a heart attack.

They should make her Pope.

Showtime: The Old Pope. (and female, but mostly old)

 

[whaler11]

Syracuse is not winning this game.

 

[swami7774]

I hate having to root for Syracuse.

 

[whaler11]

I wish I could watch the Turner executives tomorrow try and will Michigan and Kansas State to the FF.

Loyola and Florida State as one FF game with Duke/Kansas as the second game would be high comedy.

Loyola/Florida State/Texas Tech would only be ruined by Duke or Kansas joining.

 

[the Q]

I’m curious what cuse’s aversion to dunking is except for alley oops
