Saturday 2nd round thread

[KingAG]

Have to get past St Marys first. But I’ll take this path to the elite 8 every time

 

[phillionaire]

Woo pig sooeeee

 

[Jaker]

Mussleman is a great Coach and a great guy.

 

[dvegas]

Woooooooooo, Pig! Sooie!

 

[BugsyCT]

Really not sure we want UConn to play Arkansas. This super physical style is what gives us trouble.

Welp, no choice now. Sorry Hawk.

 

[husky429]

I have Arkansas over Kansas.

Told ya!

 

[That Guy]

And people think Hurley is crazy??? Did anyone just see Mussleman take this shirt off?

 

[Mister P]

What the hell ?

The Brandy Chastain of the basketball world ?

 

[housekeys]

I can’t stand Mussleman, but he can coach.

Wait is he showing off his <cough, cough> muscles?

 

[firstnline]

The stars are aligning

They can’t shoot. I’ll take it. The Big East more than prepared us. We won’t at all be unprepared. But St Marys first

 

[upstater]

Just look at Arkansas's schedule. They've been tested, that's for sure. Some good wins, they have some losses by more than 10+ points but they are all to very good teams.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Road to the final 4 is wide open. We Are UCONN! Let’s do this!!!!

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Play Zone on Arkansas, they had some of the worst shot selections I’ve seen from a winning team,. Some crazy flailing shots. They hit their free throws though.

I would still prefer them than a #1 seed. Every Sweet 16 game is going to be tough. Now let’s beat SMU to make this matter.

 

[Jorgensen]

Refs were trying to keep Kansas in it down the stretch, but ball don’t lie.

 

[SouleMan]

Jimmy Jackson - he's good at this.

Good call. And I agree he was insightful today.

 

[Umami Zen]

Picked Kansas to lose as the first 1 seed to go down.. Did not expect Purdue.. Lets get by St Marys tomorrow and then shock the world in Vegas

 

[F101Voodoo]

Wow ArKansas did win but Kansas did play tough to lose by 1. In my opinion it was like an old Big East game.

At this point we wouldn’t be shocking the world in Vegas. We’d be the favorite

I didn't care who we get if we win tomorrow. Arkansas is tough, young, and athletic but UConn has been playing physical teams all season long. Kansas always gets a good whistle and they travel as well as anyone in the country. Wouldn't have loved the idea of playing them in Vegas with Self likely making his grand entrance back for that one.

That was a really good game and now you don't have to decide who you're rooting for.

 

[millertime7774]

Houston gonna be next!

 

[BPT2Storrs]

Now let’s talk Princeton. This is a beat down of Missouri.

 

[superjohn]

And people think Hurley is crazy??? Did anyone just see Mussleman take this shirt off?

He does that after every big win.

 

[UC Billy]

Princeton killing Missouri

 

[phillionaire]

Princeton beating the absolute pizz out of Missouri wow

 

[storrsroars]

Even without Brazile, Arkansas has a ton of talent. Surprised they went 8-10 in SEC with some questionable losses (LSU, Miss St., Auburn), but they've always been a team that had the goods to make a run.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

34 minutes into the game and Mizzou scores their first second chance bucket.

 

[huskyjawz]

They have several promising freshmen but only Udeh played much. Self started working them in. Roberts has been terrible in this game. Yesufu is a transfer from Drake who can really shoot and should have played more. They win this with Self on the bench.

Well at least you don't have mixed loyalties in the next game.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

If Gonzaga is the one highly regarded team we must beat to get to the final 4. That’s a perfect scenario. We got a bit screwed with a 4 in the west but it’s worked out better than we could ever hope for.
