The Official Tourney Thread

[housekeys]

Depends entirely on who's taking the shot. We should know this!

Depends on if it goes in or not. What's the point? I would hope an open set shooter playing at the D1 level in the tournament has a better chance to hit a shot than your double teamed superstar. I understand we have seen it happen. I personally have seen more rushed misfires than heroics from the dribbler taking the shot.

 

[Fishy]

Never been a fan of the dribbler taking the final shot. If at all possible, the last play should be designed to get the ball to a set shooter.

I think Frankamp made it worse by running to the shooter and creating that double team. I think he actually eliminated himself as an option as well.

That possession down 1 for WSU was horrible they had they're chance and force up a long two. F Kentucky and their fans but those last two Wichita State possessions were blown by themselves.

Game is fun too.

Good reffing to not escalate the Mason Bridges tussle by calling something.

Izzo gets his guys ready, doesn't he?

Must have forgot to last year, I guess.

Must have forgot to last year, I guess.

You make the tournament as often as Izzo does, you get a mulligan or two. (see UConn vs. San Diego, 2008)

Well, I'm ready to hand Kansas the trophy. Dayum.

They have a lot of stupid offensive possessions.

That ruined whatever chance they had. Brought the other defender over, spacing was all screwed up and took himself out of the play.

Is this the court Tulsa plays on? No right?

Yes Wagner was inconsistent this year but still averaged 12 per game and had huge scoring nights against MSU, Wisky, Purdue, and Louisville. We should have a dynamic backcourt led by a junior Adams and we should be pretty darn good at small forward with Larrier and Vance. If we could get 12 per game from Durham we are going places. I know Aceboon thinks it's crazy to point out any strength deficiencies but Durham needs to put on muscle. He simply couldn't finish this year, part of that was him having no lift and part of it is he is weak right now for this level. We all know he has the ability in there, he just needs a great offseason and some strength.

Don't think its crazy at all, the only reason I pointed it out in reference to you earlier is because of your commitment to being miserable and sour.

NCAA sure sticking it to UNC. The other 1's/2's got the tough as nails Big 10 opponents. UNC gets Arkansas who stinks.

Man Kansas takes some really stupid shots. Esp Mason, he is horrible. They are trying to beat themselves. I'm not complaining though. Bill Self is an overrated coach. No idea why recruits continue to want to play for him. Izzo is head and shoulders above Self.

terrible call against ward

They're still sinking 46%, and leading by 10 with 7:27 left.

Survive and advance.

Terrible technical call

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

Why the hell does Michigan St keep leaving guys open under the basket. DENY THE PASS DAMNIT!

 

[Travelman6]

Bogus T on Kansas, gotta keep the game close I guess..5 point swing. I think Kansas doesn't give the game away though. They are better than MSU, who are lucky to even be within striking distance.

Is this the court Tulsa plays on? No right?

It's not. This is the Bank of Oklahoma Center (seats about 19K). Tulsa plays on campus at the Reynolds Center (about 8,300 capacity).

The man on that KS trombone player are larger than most of our spirit squad.
