NCAA Tournament, Rd 3 - Thursday

[aceboon]

Sean Miller not having Vokietaitis in on the last possession was his Popovich moment, aka not having Duncan on the floor of game 6 of the Finals when Ray forced OT after the Bosh offensive board

 

[Hurleyman216]

It’s been badly mismanaged. But ratings are high. So whatever.

The night cap games are much more interesting to most fans than these first 2 games. I think CBS should have had Illinois/Houston in the earlier slot and Texas/Purdue in the night cap

 

[gsmooth]

What the heck are the broadcasters doing with these tip times. Both these games are over and I didn’t get to watch a second of the Iowa win because it completely overlapped. Now there’s gonna be an hour until the next game tips and it starts practically the same time as the fourth game. Instead of watching all 4 we get to watch 2.

I recorded the Iowa-Nebraska game from 8 minute mark and only went to that game when the Texas-Purdue game went to commercial.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Watched both games heading down the stretch with the split screen option.

Technology!

Agreed. But nothing about the schedules has made any sense at all. The weekend games that were stand alones were the worst choices for those games.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I’m choosing Arkansas vs Arizona at the start here.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Miller can coach.

Not so sure about that. Stupid to take your big and rebounder out at the end

 

[RuffRuff]

Arizona's beats Arkansas by 10+. I have no idea how Arkansas is going to keep up with them inside.

If Illinois wins, the B10 fix is in.

 

[BigTenFan]

Ben McCollum of Iowa is the Curt Cignetti of college hoops this season

 

[ArizonaHsky]

TKR held Swain down with his left arm and tipped it in with his right. Even used him as leverage to jump over him. Got away with one.

Yeah they are not calling that. Swain needs to fight harder

 

[gsmooth]

Arizona's beats Arkansas by 10+. I have no idea how Arkansas is going to keep up with them inside.

Wow, interesting fact if true.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Is it legal to push the man in front of you under the rim, with an elbow between the shoulder blades?

Yeah there's zero chance that call's not going against Reibe in that situation.

 

[Omaha-Jays]

Hater moment but Nebraska with 4 on the court is probably my favorite moment of this crappy season after clipping UConn. How the hell does that happen ever let alone in the biggest possession in program history. I'd say poor corn but f em.

 

[superjohn]

I always liked Miller but glad to see him lose as he jerked around Xavier for a second time after they gave him a chance at redemption.

Much, much more about the portal than anything else. Recruiting HS kids is no longer than main path to winning.

 

[Drame]

I now hate Purdue.

 

[aceboon]

The nightcap games are literally tipping off one minute apart, ugh

 

[superjohn]

Ben McCollum of Iowa is the Curt Cignetti of college hoops this season

I knew he was good before coming to Iowa but getting to the elite 8 his first season is another level.

He just eclipsed Hawkeye's best season since Rip and El-Amin beat them in '99.

 

[JakeTheDog]

Much, much more about the portal than anything else. Recruiting HS kids is no longer than main path to winning.

It’s also important to note that making the Sweet 16 became much more difficult in 1985. Still an interesting fact but not as crazy as it seems at first glance.

 

[Mike Honcho]

Is it just me or are the numbers on the back of Purdue jerseys really small and bizarre looking?

 

[ArizonaHsky]

Yeah there's zero chance that call's not going against Reibe in that situation.

No ref is making that call against anybody because if some reason he is wrong, then he will be crucified. That's why it's smart on a last play, like that, to try to get every advantage.

The games tipped off 20 min. apart.

No doubt that’s a foul any time. He didn’t just hold him down he drove him under the basket moved him 5-6 feet when Swain was boxing out. Got away with it nonetheless.

 

[huskyfan224]

TKR got away with a ton of hook and holds tonight. Also spent more time on the floor than a mop, which is very Dook esque. Feel bad for Texas, they outplayed them and got shafted a bit

 

[ArizonaHsky]

Yeah the Purdue game had a ton of reviews

The games tipped off 20 min. apart.

 

[housekeys]

Swain needed to jump. That's all. Simply jump. If he jumped, the slightest contact would have sent him flying and the ref and everyone watching would make the connection (that a push was the cause). IMHO.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I didn’t realize the west was in San Jose. That’s cool and probably overdue. Nice arena. I’ve only watched hockey there.

 

[KingAG]

Acuff is going to need to score 40

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Some fine Masonry work going on so far in the Illinois-Houston game

 

[Mr. French]

2-0 4 minutes into the game? Lol
