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.
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).
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.
