Sweet Sixteen 3/24

While we are here, saw that McDermott got a contract extension from Creighton. UConn better figure them out, and fast.

Miss Jalen Adam's. Someone like him would have made our team much better.

Hard agree. Loved Jalen. He's exactly what this team was missing- just a bigger guard who could get his own bucket when needed. And also another ballhandler.
And with Cole, Jalen could play a little more off ball, which is what he was best suited for. Or as a 1.5. He wasn't quite a 1, but he certainly wasn't a 2.

I suppose, alternatively, we could've used James Bouknight for his Junior season.

Tech can't guard Williams at all at the rim and yet they're tied up with 4 minutes left.

I thought Arizona was the weakest 1 seed, so I am not sure how much of this is Houston being good vs. Arizona being just "meh" for a 1 seed.

Texas Tech letting 21 seconds go off the shot clock before fouling is gonna cost them this game

They destroyed Illinois and are beating Arizona pretty handily. They were in the Final Four last year.
They're really good.
 
Nova V Houston will be a very interesting game. I like Nova though, I think they're the most poised and consistent team left in the tournament. Also the best shooting team left.
 
Josh Carlton turning into a star player for probably the best team in America right now is not something I saw coming. Not really sure how he was so poor at UConn.

Nova or Kansas winning a 4th title would really really suck. Unfortunately one of them is likely going to be playing in the title game
 
The announcers just mentioned that today is the 32nd anniversary of the damn Latener shot. Hard to believe that it has been that long.... I remember it like it was yesterday....

The 1 seeds in this tournament haven't exactly distinguished themselves. Baylor goes out in the second round. Gonzaga goes out in the Sweet 16. And now Arizona may be going out in the Sweet 16 also. Kansas up tomorrow?

It puts us in the horrible position of rooting for PeeCee tomorrow.

This is the 3rd straight round that Houston has looked dominant. Considering what the metrics said about them, it's definitely time we just start believing them.

Arizona has 3 excellent guards and Shead has looked better than all 3. Shead is what, their 5th best starter?

-Edit- Shead had like 3 turnovers against press immediately after I posted this lol.
 
Watching these games tonight makes me realize how far away our team actually was from level. Other than Nova/Michigan, those other teams absolutely destroy us tonight. This program has come so far last few years but it’s still has a depressingly far way to go and looking at the coaches advancing I don’t know if ours is capable like they are.
