Houston/Oregon St + Baylor/Arkansas

[Mots010]

We would have made the Final Four against the teams Houston faced lol

We got handled by a 10 seed. Doubt we beat Rutgers.

 

[gtcam]

What conference are they from?

one that has a team still in the Dance

 

[Hurleyman216]

Grant Hill is convinced this game is between Arkansas and Oregon. He’s already said Oregon 3 times while referring to Baylor

 

[Drew]

Baylor is dominating Arkansas so far. Hogs in trouble

 

[nelsonmuntz]

It makes me angry that Baylor is not up by more. The terrible officiating in the Arkansas/Colgate game still bugs me. I hope Baylor wins by 50.

 

[MexicoHusky]

Arkansas is gunna give up 100 easily

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Baylor's only Achilles' heel is shot selection. They have a tendency to waste possessions with very low percentage attempts.

 

[Drew]

And just like that... Arkansas is back in it

 

[Figurehead]

Oregon State lost so the order of planets and their rotations are back in order. Here is to another 40 years before they return again.

I like this Baylor team a lot. Would love to see them beat Gonzaga, no matter how scummy the athletics department is. These kids play a fun style and have great chemistry. These guards are tough.

Is Baylor playing? This whole time I just assumed it was Oregon because of the green on their jerseys.

 

[Drew]

Arkansas 8-0 run its 62-58, plenty of game left just over 9 minutes. Should be a good finish

 

[Hurleyman216]

Great game. Musselman is a really good coach. His team is totally outmatched physically but holding their own

 

[aceboon]

Mitchell is a beast off the bounce

Mitchell is a beast off the bounce

AJax should be watching this game and taking notes. Mitchell is the most athletic guy in the floor and even if he can’t make a shot outside of the paint he’s dominating. Jackson should be able to get by his man at will next year in similar fashion

 

[Jaker]

Baylor is tough, ton of athletes on that team.

 

[uconngb]

I get that conventional wisdom among the brain trust is now that UConn is the worst team in college basketball but you think it's crazy to suggest that UConn could have run a Cleveland State, Rutgers, Syracuse, Oregon State gauntlet? I mean, it is literally the easiest final four in the history of the tournament.

In 04 we beat a 15, a 7, a 6 and an 8. Not exactly a murderer’s row, but I don’t recall anyone giving us grief for an easy path to the FF. They beat who they had to beat, give them credit.

Exactly..Need him to throw on 20-30 lbs of muscle and he can be a Mitchell clone. He certainly has the athleticism.

That kid was unreal tonight. They could not stay in front of him.

 

[Drew]

Baylor opens as a 4 point favorite over Houston in the first National Semifinal game

Alot of notes, Mitchell was breaking guys down with hesi moves, in-n-out dribbles and then finishing at the rim with "wrong" foot layups. Andre gotta get his skill level up a ton, right now he's just a straight line to the rim guy.

I thought this was the case with everybody due to the covid bubble, even the NBA players got the same treatment last year

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Not to open a can of worms, but ...

Do you think Hurley noticed that Oregon St. went to an effective 1-3-1 zone when they were getting killed playing man against Houston?

 

[AntG168]

This new idea that we were a bad team now is freaking hilarious. We defintely couldve made a run with Houston's bracket. If we played Maryland 10 times we win at least 5 imo. We had a bad night
