Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 2nd Round

[CTBasketball]

They need to stop hucking 3’s. But at the same time Oregon’s defense is pretty bad.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Tennessee can't stop them in transition. They might be better off taking a shot clock violation than risk a live-ball turnover or missed shot.

 

[JungleLobo]

Seriously who is this goofball?

Ern, I am your father {labored breathing} Big Phil McCracken

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

There are flashes where Tyrese Hunter looks like the best basketball player of all time.

This is the same Creighton that couldn’t miss from 3 against us. Their crappy little guard has not even been close but was nailing 35 footers against us

 

[uconngb]

Barnes doing his usual

 

[BigTenFan]

1-21 from three is pretty ridiculously bad.

Pretty sure anyone on this board would shoot a higher percentage

 

[Tenspro2002]

Oh my God the Texas player took a flying knee right in the pills.

The rent was due for Brock Cunningham after all the flagrant/dirty fouls

 

[Dogdeacon]

They won their tourney. They earned it.

What the hell is going on here?

I think we have a crowded bandwagon and the newcomers just expect UConn to get a cozy run to the title even easier than last year.

I haven’t the foggiest idea where the overall #1 gets the easiest opponent in every round entitlement came from. Huskies were not #1, the last what, 6 weeks of the season excepting 3 days when the brackets were mostly set?! And probably the brackets were mostly set before those last 3 days just cuz folks didn’t want to work on the weekend .. OR there is a massive anti-UConn conspiracy.

 

[CTBasketball]

What a block tho.

I got fired from the J Paul Getty art museum for continuously leaving early in April 86 to watch the Rangers in the NHL playoffs at 4pm puck drops. Whalers too that year.

That was a great (and surprising) playoffs. As if there wasn't enough compelling sports on today, the Rangers & Panthers are tied at 2 with 11 minutes left in the third. Winner takes the lead for President's trophy

Aßmas is aß

 

[aceboon]

Texas should have tried to go for a quick two, taking that much time off and then going for a desperation 3 was not it

I’m making a point on team quality.

NC State is nothing but b a bid thief.

Max Abmas 101

 

[DaMuttzNutt]

I don’t like the thought of playing this Tennessee team. They have some size that could be an issue. They will give Purdue a real challenge if it gets that far

 

[superjohn]

Trey Alexander needs to snap out of it.

 

[REB1094]

Tough way for Abmas to go out, but that’s just the Max Abmas Experience

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Kalkbrenner looks so good out of conference

 

[FanInNC]

It seemed like Oakland still touched the ball after it got passed the NC State’s players pinky.

Correct but let’s not let facts get in the way of things.

 

[Jimdish255]

Nice game by Tennessee. Did what they needed to against a motivated Texas team. Texas was a chess piece short this season.

 

[superjohn]

Creighton has gotten every shot they want and they're bricking everything. Just keep feeding Kalk.

 

[kobe]

creighton is so mediocre against any athletic team with a semblance of talent. frauds.

 

[Tenspro2002]

That Cuisinart guy is killing Creighton, who of course are shooting 20% on mostly wide-open 3s after shooting about 60% against us.
