Sweet Sixteen 3/24

[gsmooth]

Toney channeling his inner AJax on that above the rim from behind block.

Great block. And he shut down Teddy Allen last game with some help of course.

 

[the Q]

Holmgren is garbage and will get eaten alive in the NBA…0% chance he goes first in the draft

It’s at least 1%….

Duke is now literally handed a trip to the title game on a plate now. What a joke.

Duke is losing tonight. They are weak defensively and struggle against strong, physical defensive teams

They won’t get past tonight.

Zags out. Now my bracket goes from 24th percentile to 10th, lol.

Yeah my brackets got worse. All of them had the Zags in the FF. But I have Zona winning it all.

Duke should lose tonight. Tech is better than them but I get the feeling something weird is going to happen.

Awesome stat

 

[gtcam]

Horrible basketball in both games so far plus the officiating has been terrible this whole tournament

They're playing the #1 defense in the country in a half an hour. Let's not just hand them a title yet

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Props to Eric Musselman!

Between two straight Elite Eights and his time at Nevada, Musselman has shown up in March over the last half decade. Good for him!

After season after season building through the portal, I'm curious to see how Arkansas can grow even more with the #2 recruiting class next year.

Scary moment for Gillespie there

I mean not exactly. Arkansas is 17-3 in their last 20 games. 1 of the losses was on the road at a 6 seed by 1 point, 1 of the losses was on the road at a 3 seed by 4 when they made a 17 point comeback in 9 minutes, and the last loss was when they shot 16% from 3 and their opponent shot 53%.

Plus they have to actually beat the best defensive team in the country tonight.

You just can't trust mid-majors, no matter how consistently good they are in the regular season. Eventually the power conference schools find ways to beat them when it matters. Not always, but more often than not.

I won't believe Gonzaga will ever win an NC until I see them actually do it. How many more years can they play at this level though?

No celebration from Nova, this is a business trip.

Same

Need zona/Kansas in ff for my bracket to not be a dumpster fire

 

[Hoophound]

Villanova has a legit shot at another natty. I’m a believer.

He's a really good coach. He has a .750 win % all time as an NCAA head coach, basically just behind Self, K, and Calipari

I had Zona winning it all when the brackets came out. I think Zona gets through the Cougars and the Zona Nova game will decide the national champion.

He is but there's some stat padding there coaching in the WCC. Starting to wonder if he'll ever win one.

Whoopsie, misread that one.

Shaheen Holloway's voice sounds like the fusion of Prince and Mike Tyson.

edit Greg Gumbel just called out his soft-spoken voice lol.

Kimani Young shout-out. Text chain with Kenny Smith.

They won’t win unless they join the Big East.

They need better competition in conference play, which they don’t have.

Houston is the only school that is currently out of the power 6 conferences although they will be soon in a power conference that I can see winning a title.
