NCAA tourney thread - Regionals

Nova destroying Miami & OU up big on aTm.

KU-Maryland has the makings of a good one.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I'm rooting against all the ACC teams.

 

[80shusky]

Nova looks great. Could this be the year they break through?

Nova destroying Miami. KU-Maryland has the makings of a good one.

Leaving aside feelings about Villanova, I'm just happy to get Miami out of it. The longer they went, the more "10 years ago this week.." Jim Larranaga retrospectives were going to be out there.

Nova fans can be annoying but Jay Wright is a good dude, I could definitely root for Nova or Oklahoma to win it all. I've said it before and I'll say it again, is there a more underrated coach than Lon Kruger?

They are a really fun team to watch. Not to derail the thread, but watching the way Nova, Okla, Kan, UNC and some others play makes me very jealous. UConn is a pretty painful team to watch offensively. So stagnant, little ball/player movement, shot clock violations, one-on-one basketball. I don't want to hear about "pro-sets" anymore. I'm begging KO to put in some better stuff next season. I feel like we've been offensively challenged for quite a few years now.

We'll run better stuff as we get better players in - specifically better ball handlers and low-post presences.

Go watch the Temple & Memphis games from the AAC tourney, or the second halves of the Colorado & KU games. We weren't SMU-level sophisticated, but we weren't out there playing Thunder-style hero-ball.

Having seen quite a bit of both Nova and UConn, their offenses are a lot more similar than you'd think. Nova's players are just better equipped to execute that stuff because they're both better and more importantly, they've played together/in that system longer.

The coaching staff is not without fault, but the origin of most of UConn's offensive problems can be traced back to the fact that they don't have a great one on one player.

Diamond Stone has more offensive ability in one finger than Brimah could ever even dream about.

Jay Wright's a sleazeball.

I don't give a _____ who wins as long as they don't wear orange uniforms.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Refs cooking it for Kansas? Hanging on the rim call, clean Stone block, yet elbow to the face is fine.

 

[Jaker]

LOve the chicken wing Graham gave Trimble,

Trimble should of gotten his face out of the way.

Can't tell if you're kidding or not? Have never heard anyone say a bad thing about Jay Wright which is pretty rare with college basketball and football coaches. Also, Fuse!

 

[Jaker]

Jay Wright seems like a pretty straight up guy

 

[BugsyCT]

Would settle for just the Dookies getting knocked off tonight. And of course Cuse & UNC tomorrow.

They've significantly over extended their welcome. Especially with that weak front court. It's gonna be a block party!

Not sure but I think on of the boards more prominent names did say Jay Wright is a backstabbing "sleaze ball" at one point, a person in the know. I have no clue one way or the other I just want Nova to get to the FF and Oregon too so I can have 2 teams who pay me already in a pool LOL

Go Jay

 

[Hurleyman216]

I hate Dook as much as the next guy, but Ingram is just oozing talent. Wish we had someone like this on our roster! Very high probability that he could have the best NBA career of any Dook alum.

He has a great game, Winslow has done well too

 

[David 76]

I'm wasn't sure who I like less, Kansas or MD.
Then I noticed I was rooting for MD

 

[Jaker]

We directly recruit against the Terps all the time, go KU

 

[Matrim55]

Amen. **** the turtles.

 

[David 76]

But KU is a blueblood.

 

[Jaker]

All of the teams that are left in the tourney have legit scoring big men.
