Auburn 16/33 from line.

Northwestern is bad. How did this team get a 7 when a team like Memphis had an 8? I am surprised this game is as close at it is.

Same reason Indiana got the seed they did, bounced that juggernaut Purdue.

Auburn 16/33 from line.

So the anti- Napier

 

[Jay-Bone]

He’s 6’7 but strong and is as good a leaper as Andre is. KU would probably struggle with our centers, but both our centers would struggle to guard Adams. They might need Udeh to play more minutes than usual.

But the issue is Alex handling Wilson, Andre on Dick and Hawk on McCullers. All those guys attack the rim, and KU is bigger at each position.

Too bad we won't find out. Would've loved to see Adams try to D Sanogo, lol.

No one can hang with our A game. Just can’t guarantee we get one.

If we can get 20 points from our bench were much deeper and also play with much different style than most teams with our four out subs. That will be hard to beat. Injuries are also hurting teams with a high seed. The fourth and fifth year players make any games much tighter and result in upsets. We are young but have a well balanced bench. St Mary's likes to play a long slow clock and low point totals. We need to play fast and press. Quick out of the gate. Play to our clock. Our "A" game will flow from that.

UConn has won 4 National Championships since then, Boomer.

Same reason "Bill Buckner!" has no effect these days. Except bemusement.

 

[AZHuskiePop]

Upset prediction.
Auburn over Houston
Arkansas over Kansas
And keep an eye on Northwestern vs UCLA

How did you miss Princeton
How does the Ivy Champ get a 16 seed . Talk about disrespected
They beat a nice Yale team have a legitimate big and some other good athletes plus always.play with thst maddening half court game.

Penn St is a fun team to watch.

What is “Hep” short for

 

[BugsyCT]

One of those Penn teams went to the Final Four, I think.

Yup - 1979.

 

[storrsroars]

A ton of credit to Tramon Mark for stepping up. I'm trying to think of Newton and Hawk being in foul trouble and Alleyne or Joey going off for 26... and I'm not seeing it.

 

[Ripper32]

Penn State has alligator blood. Never out of it.

 

[caw]

Penn St. kill shot for the lead by 3.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Gus Fring is coaching Texas.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Penn State just committed the stupidest backcourt I have ever seen. That could have cost them the game.

 

[phillionaire]

Penn St. kill shot for the lead by 3.

Ooooof

 

[caw]

Ooooof

Fantastic response by Texas with their own.

 

[August_West]

Penn St had it. Just couldn’t buy a 3 in winning time.

Still a shot

Mark is a starter.

 

[Ripper32]

UCLA tied with NW.

I forgot how fun it is to see steam coming out of the leprechaun’s ears on the sidelines

The over and back violation was one of the dumbest turnovers I’ve ever seen.

Well Alleyne had 28 pts in a first rd game in 2021. Let us not see either Hawk or Newton in foul trouble to test this.
