Who dislikes Boston University? I hate St, Johns. Always have.

At this point I merely want UConn’s league to show it is better than the Big East and is the real P6. So far it has. Next year it will be even more clear.

I meant BCU. Edited egregious mistake for clarity
 
For what it is worth, I think Auburn plays exactly the way I think Hurley wants UConn to play. Aggressive defense and and offensive that is devastating in transition.

Maybe Bruce Pearl is actually a pretty good coach?

Speaking of "coaching"...for those of you who watched the Murray State game...I just read the Nole coaching game strategy in a post game interview...

From interview:

"We came to the conclusion that Morant was almost basically unguardable," FSU head coach Leonard Hamilton said. "So we had to make sure we defended the other guys that fed off of him."

And when it came to Morant, the 'Noles decided they were more willing to let him shoot from the perimeter than drive into the paint. They felt he was much more dangerous dribbling toward the basket -- either attacking the rim or kicking the ball out to his teammates for open jump shots.

So when one of Morant's teammates would come over to set a screen for him on the perimeter, the player guarding him would run "under" the screen to cut off his driving lanes. Each time they did that, however, Morant stepped back and launched a 3-pointer.

So FSU made an adjustment. After discussing it as a staff during the game, the Seminoles decided to start going "over" the screens to prevent Morant from getting open 3-point attempts. And then they stationed their post players further away from the basket to stop Morant before he got too deep into the paint.

Think it's saying that no team that ever played football in the Big East has ever made the playoffs. Which, as far as I know, is true.

Just another cheap shot at the former league that was better than the ACC post the original raid, with the 8 team conference.
 
Good gawd....how do you stop Gonzaga's Clarke...

36 points, 8 rebounds, 5 blocked shots, 2 steals...and drew 9 fouls on the people guarding him.

Gonzaga has been underrated. I have no idea why people thought they were the 4th 1 seed. I would have them second. That’s the best region by far.

Vegas has Gonzaga as 7 point favorites...

They have Clarke...but also Kispert (16 points, 7 rebounds this weekend) and Hachimura and Norvell and Perkins..all three are double digit scorers. Maybe they have best forwards this year.
 
Remember when Tyler Cook single-handedly destroyed us at MSG back in November? He was unstoppable. Barely heard his name in this tourney.
 
Can’t help but notice the size and physicality of the 4 men in the tournament. Tennessee has Grant Williams (6’7, 235) and Iowa has Tyler Cook (6’9, 250). You don’t see very many good teams playing guys weighing 180 pounds at the 4.
 
.-.
Remember when I posted about barely hearing Cook's name in this tourney?

Yeah, never mind.
 
Is this Tennessee or Cincinnati?
 
.-.
Holy shit Iowa actually came back!? I turned it off when they were down 21 at half.
 
Tenn makes a huge game changing play and then they botch the call.

5 point swing
 
Refs lost control. Horrendous foul call on Iowa, horrendous foul call on Tennessee.
