NCAA Tournament, Rd 3 - Thursday

[DogMania]

Kaufman Renn pushed the TX player out of the way before he tapped in the winner

Better put, the Texas player let him do it and couldn't stand his ground. No ref is going to see that as a foul at that point in the game. You want to win? Hold your ground. Just playing soft.

 

[superjohn]

Grest job by the ref in the Illini game, refs usually fall for that cr@p.

 

[superjohn]

This is embarrassing for Kelvin Sampson.

 

[Fishy]

I keep thinking Houston is in trouble and then I remember last year’s Duke game and realize that Houston has Illinois right where they want them.

 

[Mr. French]

Good lord Houston with 26 points with 12 to go.

Illinois cruising.

 

[JungleLobo]

Glass half full: Houston doesn’t have far to go home.

 

[Hurleyman216]

Houston getting blown out on their home court. Houston is very small and it’s showing. They also run no semblance of an offense. Illinois not even playing great, but up 18

 

[superjohn]

Sampson missed his chance at a national championship last season, couldn't close the deal.

Scoring no points when the committee gifts you a game in your backyard is pathetic.

 

[DogMania]

Houston can't figure out how to beat the Illini D. Illinois has figured out how to beat Houston's D.

 

[DogMania]

The Razorbacks are Hog dumb.

 

[DogMania]

Zona needed that timeout.

 

[DogMania]

Did everyone go to bed?

 

[Fishy]

Don’t bury them yet….

 

[EnochRoot]

LOL at trying to minimize that foul. Dude wound up cold-cocking him. If he intended to, he would've been thrown out of the game. Still, the results matter.

 

[connVA]

They recruit the Amish athlete better than anyone. Hurley, take notes!

Well Smith thinks his ugly-ash Amish beard looks good, and that's what's important

 

[Waquoit]

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.

Still not good enough reason to root for Purdue.

 

[EnochRoot]

Falling apart at the seams, Mr. Calipari.

 

[BugsyCT]

This tourney's getting a little too Big 10 heavy.

 

[DogMania]

Zona is scary good, a machine.

Arkansas is flat out undisciplined and dumb.

 

[superjohn]

This is just so bad from Houston. They've had some chances to try and get back into this and they don't pick up defensive rebounds right in front of them.

Game over.

 

[BlueWolf25]

This tourney's getting a little too Big 10 heavy.

Our job to eliminate one of them

 

[DogMania]

These games start way too fricken late!

 

[Fishy]

John Calipari's teams are remarkable - they appear to have never received any actual basketball training and yet somehow they're in the sweet 16.

How do people lose to them?

 

[Scrutineer]

It's all Nebraska in Houston..

View attachment 118683

Newbys. Like us in NY for the NIT Final Four in 1988.

 

[housekeys]

Houston has not shot a free throw with 3+ left in the game! Ok, now that is crazy.

 

[FightOnCT]

Kelvin Sampson is offensively challenged to put it lightly. But the fact that they might be one and done in a home court arena has to be embarrassing.

We don’t need to see any more B1G teams crowding the field (no offense B1Gfan) so let’s take care of Michigan State tomorrow to prevent more of them.

 

[Mr. French]

Houston hitting random 3s to make this close but man they’ve been bad tonight

 

[EnochRoot]

Calipari should be thrown out of the game for allowing this crap.

 

[Lanphoon]

Bad feeling a brawl is coming in the Az Ark game.

 

[DogMania]

Razorbacks are a bunch of punks.
