(OT) Men's tourney

Sometimes you win pretty and sometimes you win on guts

 
a couple of observations.... they had the Baylor and the Syracuse men's and women's games on at the same time. Right now its OSU vs OSU.... and both have the orange and black color scheme.

Listened to the final call on westwood... they said something that shocked me. This is only the 4th time that Houston has advanced to the sweet 16 in school history. For a school with such a basketball history... i assumed they had made it more.

Oh, you didn't know this is the Orange bracket. Oregon St. beat Tennessee in the first round. Also Illinois, Syracuse and Clemson in that lower half of that region. Merely a coincidence I'm sure...:rolleyes:

Hmm, this is not my understanding at all. Something got lost on the wire.

UH did have a VERY long dry spell after the Phi Slama Jama era. That team reached the Final Four three consecutive years (82-84), then UH made it back to the S16 thirty-five years later (lost a heartbreaker that kept them from the E8), then again this year. That's 5 S16's in my lifetime. Wikipedia is telling me they also made seven S16's from 1956 to 1971.

Oregon St. men in the Sweet 16?! What a ride they've been on.


The double digit seeds are livin' large.
 
A Pac 12 team (Colorado) finally lost. Meanwhile, unless Maryland turns things around in a hurry against 'Bama, the Big 10 is going to be down to only Michigan after 2 rounds, started w/ 9 (?) teams. Pathetic!
 
Wow! Oregon St. to the Elite 8, what an run they've been on down the stretch of the season.

The Big 10 is not showing out very well thus far.

I completely disagree. Taking Baylor to OT? Maryland rolling over opponents? They had just as many in the Sweet 16 as the PAC 12. How are they doing poorly? They're doing better than the SEC or the Big 12.

I picked up dinner... and was trying to watch the end of the ORU-Arkansas game on my phone while I was driving... One more game tonight... 8 more tomorrow... then 4 on Monday and 4 on Tuesday.

@Plebe I know your heart was racing a bit tonight :p

Sorry @nwhoopfan Amazing run for the Beavers

Couldn't overcome an awful first half. Sure made a game of it though. Proud of them, been playing about as well as they possibly could for several weeks.

Una noche no apta para cardiacos.

I wish I could say I knew we had 'em all along. I'm man enough to admit that between the UConn and UH games I had a few of these moments:

These men's Elite 8 games have been awful... they just said that there has been no lead changes so far. I actually thought USC had a chance tonight.

These Zags aren't the cute little underdog story anymore, they have every bit as much talent as any of the P5 schools.

If they don't win it this year.. they may never win it.

Still haven't forgiven them for 2017 though.. THEY HAD ONE JOB

wow.. what an ending... Michigan had some good looks for the win.. but whew..
 
Sorry @Plebe , but I had no interest in the first semi final. The second is an instant classic though. Monday night is definitely must see TV. Can GU grab a piece of history? Can Baylor stop them, and make their own history? Can it come anywhere close to matching the game we just saw?
 
Go Zags! That game could have gone either way! Holy moly, Suggs shot was awesome. I bet Paige was feeling it too!! Totally agree with nwhoopfan...Instant Classic!
 
That Gonzaga/UCLA game was one of the best basketball games I have ever watched...and I have watched a LOT of games in my 50+ years. I think there were 14 ties and 20 lead changes...then that amazing shot at the OT buzzer. It was like two heavyweights duking it out for supremacy.
 
Anyone taking bets on which (men's/women's) championship will be more exciting? Lol
