The Official Tourney Thread

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Kind of crazy one of those 4 is guaranteed to make the final 4.

Well, it was set up for SMU after all.

 

[storrsroars]

Except, North Carolina beat Arkansas, so only Kentucky, Florida, and South Carolina, right?

Ah. Good catch. I think I tossed Baylor in with them for some reason. Whatever, important thing is ACC only has one.

 

[BugsyCT]

Michigan/Oregon's been a good one.

 

[superjohn]

Man, I love Jordan Bell. Such a shame we got screwed on that one.

 

[ASweet3781]

Oregon lucky that shot didnt go in, they had 2 fouls to give and didnt give it.

 

[awfuldan]

Damn, thought that shot was good. Would have been Kemba-esque.

This West Virginia-Gonzaga game has been unwatchable.

This West Virginia-Gonzaga game has been unwatchable.

michigan and oregon wasn't any prettier... I was just thinking that last weekend teams played some great basketball

 

[UConnSwag11]

Why? Those are good teams. Baylor was #1 at one point during the year. Wisky is very consistent, Florida is good and USC has a great player and with Martin building their program.

Two of the CBS guys said Florida looked like the best team in the tournament right now.

I'd probably say Kansas.

I like Florida to the FF from the East.

whoever can beat kansas unc and kentucky

 

[UConnSwag11]

the cbs announcer are so much better than ESPNs

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Gonzaga is falling apart.

 

[ASweet3781]

Like clockwork, Gonzaga in fetal position mode as we get late into the 2nd half.

 

[UConnSwag11]

which game ends first, wvu or purdue>

 

[superjohn]

Zags can't even bring the ball up the court anymore.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

that was a cheap offensive foul call.

 

[ASweet3781]

Gonzaga is falling apart.

They haven't done a single thing right in 10 minutes. Their lack of composure every single year is just hilarious to me.

Michigan and Oregon was a work of art compared to this. We have to be well over one foul per minute.

 

[ASweet3781]

Gonzaga determined to have WVU score on this possession. Gave them 3 chances.

 

[ASweet3781]

Oh look there, Gonzaga has now given them 4 CHANCES on this possession, now handing WVU rebounds and losing rebounds with no one around them out of bounds.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Gonzaga is in free fall. Karnowski travelled on that last basket, and then air-balls a free throw. Then Karnowksi turns the ball over right after getting a steal.

Refs hosed Gonzaga on back to back calls. WVU getting a lot of slaps and grabs.

Between Gonzaga choking and the officiating, there is no excuse for WVU losing this game.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Oh look there, Gonzaga has now given them 4 CHANCES on this possession, now handing WVU rebounds and losing rebounds with no one around them out of bounds.

That second "steal" was simply a grabbed arm. I am a great defender too when I don't have to worry about fouling.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Zags look scurred

 

[champs99and04]

Was that Perkins who just blew the open layup? Damn, they are doing everything they can to give this away.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

One thing that has really bothered me this tournament is how slow the offenses are at attacking after a high trap. WVU is trapping a lot well above the 3 point line, and Gonzaga makes one pass and then waits. That first pass has to result in either penetration or a quick second pass to the open shooter, because someone is open if there are two defenders 30 feet from the basket.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Was that Perkins who just blew the open layup? Damn, they are doing everything they can to give this away.

Against any other Sweet 16 team I would say the game is over, but WVU is having trouble hitting shots.
