Sweet Sixteen 3/24

awesome to see two programs in small time leagues make the Elite 8 in nova and houston.

it’s amazing what sampson has done. we used to joke that he stole the cincinnati blueprint to take over control of the aac but man has he done way more. to advance this far with two of his best players on the team out since december is ridiculous.
 
Duke just played one of the better halves of basketball weve seen in a while

I want the winner of the Kansas - PC game to win it. I don't want to jinx it, but I think this KU team has the right makeup to win. Not as reliant on certain players. In any event I want the right side of the bracket to win.

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

As much as it would suck I would almost rather duke win their 6th than Nova or KU tie us with 4.

Dream scenario at this point is an Arkansas vs Houston final. Don't care about either of those teams winning it all

Quick ranking of teams I don't want to win:
1) KU
2) Duke
3) Nova
4) Purdue (Just so the Big 10 streak of 20+ years without a title lives on)
5) UNC

I hope you are right. Ideally St. Peters gets there, but realistically from the left side of the bracket, Purdue is the least objectionable team.

I hate that program and want them to lose but I have to admit the last five minutes in particular were impressive. They just flat out took the game from Tech.

I would say vital

Jalen was more naturally talented but didn’t put it together in the same way vital did Imo.

But I can see the argument for both

Jalen had the capability tho make everyone better .
196 assists in 2016-17 is one of the greatest PG stats. When you consider the main scorers included 2 freshman that would not see PT on this team a defensive specialist at the 5 , Facey who wouldn’t see much PT in this team and Purvis playing out of position .
His Jr year was him and Vital after Gilbert plus 3 children, and NFL replacement players
His senior year he played the 2 in the Gilbert at PG experiment.that continued into the next year.

Yup. Like I said, I can see the argument for jalen.

I think him and CV are the only real candidates for that unless you wanna go back to the 80s

They did.
It wont happen tomorrow. I really think Arkansas can beat them .

Although, I will put the caveat that Im a bit wary that Arkansas may have their whole squad foul out by the first TV timeout. I could see K getting all the whistles he wants on his last go around. Arkansas plays really aggressive and fouled the ever loving jesus out of the Zags last night, with the refs letting them do it. If they get that kind of leash against Duke, they will win. You know that K is already squawking about that the day before the game. If the game is called extra tight (which it may be) , its gonna be a tough hill to climb for Arkansas.

Of course Arkansas can win, anybody left can beat anybody else, except probably St. Petes. But yeah, Duke is going to be harder to guard than Gonzaga was.

I'm meeting a Providence friend who flew in today for the game. I haven't seen him in 20 years. We're going to a Providence fanfest at a bar ar 4 outside of the United Center and then I'm going to a different bar and watching the game with a couple Kansas friends who think this is their year. I'm going to he rooting for Providence...should be intersting.

I broke out my one remaining item of Jayhawk attire. Wasn't sure I would fit in it (barely). Traded Heady Toppers for it with a law school classmate some years back. The last time I watched a KU game with Kansas friends, it was in KC, and I was rooting for UConn. Didn't go well.

Rooting for Providence but would be okay with Kansas winning tonight and winning it all. KU and UCLA are the only blue bloods I don't seriously dislike.

Mick has won more tourney games in 2 years at UCLA than his entire cincy career.

Signal received. Watching this game from Seattle. We have a 6;00am flight to Chicago. If they are fortunate enough to win I will DM you.

Jesus. That is the Kiss of death. What do you think happened to UConn in Buffalo, I had to skip Thursday, sold my Thursday tickets to another yarder, but was definitely going on my Saturday tix if UConn was "fortunate enough to win" .

I blame myself for that loss.

Dont do it Friar. Dont be me. You should already be in Chicago.

I would have if we could have. It’s not a big deal. It just goes into my Alaska airlines wallet if I don’t use it. Plus if I do go I need to start worrying about New Orleans. Lots of balls in the air. But first tonight.

Whelp I know how Im picking on that part of the parlay tonight. Its over already.

Stop it! I can assure you that you are not the reason they lost. You probably are the reason they lost to us in Hartford though :)

That would be a pretty good problem to have.

Speaking of which, you should probably make a reservation at Brigtsen's now. One less problem.
