Sweet 16 thread

[Jaker]

Exactly. Made me think why Hurley said he wanted to mold his roster after Houston.

Did he really say that??

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Houston looks outmatched.

 

[LIuconn]

Yes after we got worked in the conf tourney

But he prob just meant athletes everywhere

 

[jibsey]

Kentucky’s size is really giving Houston problems.

It’s a huge discrepancy. Houston can’t run offense.

 

[Scoe]

Looks like UK is winning it all.

 

[UCfor3]

They are not used to running offense against a team like kentucky. Hanging in for now but not optomistic.

 

[bazz&boujee]

GET ON THE FLOOR!!!

 

[ASweet3781]

Lousy performance by Houston so far.

And remains horrifying that just 5 years ago we could put a team on the court vs a Kentucky or Duke and like our chances. Now? They are making short work out of teams that beat us by 40.

 

[wheelerdog]

AAC baby!!

 

[UconnU]

The cougars can’t handle the size, even with this much experience they’ve never seen this length, the penetration is killing them.

Lol

 

[LIuconn]

Time for Jim nantz to hang it up. Dries up all excitement. Next!

 

[LIuconn]

PG on vt reminds me of shabazz

 

[Jaker]

Zion can fly

 

[ASweet3781]

Had to shut the night games off. I am tired with Duke and Kentucky. Tired of them and their NBA rosters.

 

[Scoe]

I like Zion but I want his next game to be in a Knicks jersey.

 

[BugsyCT]

Houston's hanging in there. Down 5.

 

[Scoe]

Barrett always gets an easy and quite 20 pts every game, UVA and Houston still in it, put the pressure on these NBA kids and see if they can handle the pressure.

 

[Scoe]

Should be a no call there BS call.

 

[Guapo]

Lets go uh

 

[Scoe]

Zion hooked him whats he supposed to do lol.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Zion throwing his arms around, foul on VT. Same old.

 

[Scoe]

Such a beast.

 

[Tommyboy]

Zion gets away with a ton.

 

[superjohn]

My god, Duke gets treated so differently than everyone else.

 

[UCDaveD]

Are coaches allowed to touch players on the floor? Squid just physically pushed one of his guys into the corner he wanted him to go in to.

 

[Scoe]

Vtech gotta do it here like now now or never.

 

[Scoe]

My god, Duke gets treated so differently than everyone else.

You know the tournament is already predetermined for Duke right?

 

[auror]

The UNC game does not surprise me. Roy is the most overrated coach. I will believe that if he wins 10 championships. He has 1 speed. Outscore the opponent and play fast. Defense and and adjustments are optional.

(Not including this year) Roy has the best performance against both his seed and KenPom rank in tournaments cumulative since 2000.
Tourney Stats, PASE (Performance Against Seed Expectations) and PAKE

He made 18 tournaments in 19 years and didn't lose a single time in the 1st round. No Coach K or Bill Self upset specials. He was also 10-2 in the Sweet 16 round (before tonight), 7-3 in the Elite 8, and 5-2 in the F4.

Dirty little secret: when you have more talent than the other team, evidence suggests it's better to play fast. More possessions, less vulnerable to upsets.

 

[UconnU]

My god, Duke gets treated so differently than everyone else.

Zion Williamson would foul out of every game if he was at Uconn.
