Sweet 16 - Day 1 thread

[Tommyboy]

Feeling great after the news today makes watching hoops sweeter.

Nevada looks great early.

IDC who wins as long as it's not Cuse, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky

 

[UConnSwag11]

Nevada is looking nice with their energy and ball movement

Back to the games!!....(and the god awful commercials, must they play the same 8 or 10? ugh, they are so painfully bad)

Today's news gives tonight's games a nice buzz.

That being said, go K State. Anyone in that region but Squid U.

I like these games where it really does not matter who wins.

I like both of these teams a lot. Nevada seems a little more gritty. Not sure who to cheer for, but in the end I guess it will be for the team that is more likely to beat Kentucky if they advance. But Loyola is a nice story (and I am not talking about the cliche story they keep pushing).

Just a fun overall game with two teams who make a lot of smart, heads up plays and are not afraid to dive on the floor.

Nevada stopped moving the ball and now looks like our offense last year

 

[Travelman6]

For me, when Nevada is firing on all cylinders, they look like the kind of team I think Ollie must have envisioned. When they are NOT firing on all cylinders, they just look like an Ollie coached team (of the past two years).

Michigan is on another level right now

 

[UConnSwag11]

Michigan hit 9 threes so far in the first half. putting up over 50 so far

 

[Robertelamin]

What a beat down.

Yeah but none of their shots are contested. What the hell kind of game plan is this by A&M?

Houston and Cincinnati literally could have made the Final4 if they didn't choke away their last games. Unbelievable.

Darling Micki must be kicking himself and crying in a bowl of bad chilli some where.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Michigan is insane.

At the same time, A&M's TJ Starks is putting out one of the all-time choke performances in the Sweet 16:
4 missed shots
5 turnovers
0 rebounds
0 assists
0 blocks
0 steals

That's literally 9 negative stats and 0 positive stats. I guess zero fouls you could consider a positive, but my goodness.

Loved how that Nevada guy didn’t think he traveled there. lol.

 

[BugsyCT]

Glad CBS has the Loyola game instead of Mich-aTm. That one's unwatchable.

Loyola's a fun team to root for in this tourney.

 

[UConnSwag11]

best game of the tourney

 

[UConnSwag11]

i thought nevada was going to run away with it

 

[Dibbie]

Dagger!

 

[uconnphil2016]

unbelievable

 

[gtcam]

Love that Loyola team
Nevada is a nice team too - sorry they had to play each other

I thought A&M would be more competitive. So sad.
