I recognize that Virginia not scoring a point for an hour may have fooled you into believing they didn't participate in this tournament, but they did in fact lose in a play-in game. The ACC is not unblemished.

yep. Gotta add 1-1 for MWC, 0-1 for ACC, 1-0 for PAC12 to those field of 64 #s
 
Cousinard's 33 shot attempts were the most ever in a tournament game.

Also, his 72 points in the first round broke a Pac12 record held by Lew Alcindor.

Cousinard's record will never be broken.
 
Boy Creighton sure did that the hard way. Survive and advance but they were periously close to giving the Big East a bad rap. If Oregon didn't pass the ball to the 60% FT shooter who missed Creighton may have lost in reg. I'm not saying Creighton had to rout them but it shouldn't have been that tough to put Oregon away. They get a 3 seed and almost didn't make it out of the first weekend. Terrible execution and shooting through the entire game with stretches of hero ball that nearly cost them the game. Finally shook off the doldrums in the 2nd OT. Crazy game.

This is as lame as it gets to a fanbase winning titles regularly, but it is genuinely insane to go from a kid where making the tourney bc you won the Valley and hoping to get an upset as a 12 seed was the pinnacle of the season vs being pissed getting to the Sweet 16 was stressful.

I get the Creighton jokes bc we have limits, but it has been a lot of fun to walk over Georgetown and beat UConn a few times. We used to get fired up for Southern Illinois and Wichita Community College, it is very fun to piss off all of these real programs instead.

Let's get hot from 3 and smoke Tennessee.

#4 Kansas lost to a church school
#9 TCU lost to a MWC school
#6 TTU lost to a double digit seed
#7 Texas lost to Tennessee (nothing to complain about, too bad Texas is SEC next year)
#6 BYU lost to +++ing DUQUESNE LMAOO

You try too hard bro. Kinda embarrassed for you ngl
 
I don’t know how all you Husky fans root for Creighton. They all seems so smug and I’ll never forget Kalk disrespecting Sanogo, even though he totally ate his words.

Conference allegiance is dumb, no one cares. But, but look, the BE is 4-0, we should have had more teams…it doesn’t matter!

1. If Creighton is in your bracket's FF, you root for them
2. Creighton (and any other BE team) winning adds $$$ to the conference

Not that it really matters with the selection committee, because they keep rewarding the Fraud 10 conference with 100 bids per year despite 22 straight tournaments without a title… but having the Big East as a league (especially outside of UConn) be successful in March helps legitimize the league as a true power conference in the minds of the media and the fans.

It’d be great to get the BE to 8-0 with 3 teams in the Elite 8. That would be a major statement and get people talking in my opinion. One game at a time!

Marquette has a pretty favorable path to pull that off. Creighton not so much.
 
Tennessee certainly won’t be easy, but they just need 1 win to get there

The top teams in B12 and B10 have been just as successful as the top in the BE. If BE got more bids, they’d have piled up some L, just like those conferences

They were not just as successsful, and we'll never know how far SJU would have advanced.
Kansas, Kentucky, Auburn, Wisconsin. They weren't suddenly bubble teams.

Disgusting game

Kalkbrenner hitting that 3 in OT was hilarious and very fun

@kobe Going to the NIT in Vegas instead of NYC will be fun I guess

Hopefully you guys can't possibly go that cold again. Until you run into us.
 
What's the over-under on how long it takes to call a foul on whoever is guarding Edey.

It's a tossup depending on who hits their shots. But I think Creighton may have some matchup advantages that will cause problems for Tennessee on defense. Not as much on the reverse. More a question of depth for you guys in terms of keeping the energy. Gotta figure out a way to spread minutes.

Didn’t You predict Creighton would lose because of the hero shot by Trey?
Obviously Cousinard was a hero then ran out of gas, but what a game by him & they’re big. Set a record with like 25 successful pick & rolls before McDermott finally figured it out and blitzed it - that combined with fatigue & big guy in the game to get fouled & miss 1-n-1 was the game.

Suddenly Colorado is moving the ball through Lampkin to complement their guys on the perimeter and it's working. They've figured something out and it's going to be a challenge for Shaka to keep their scoring down. Very fascinating to see how they deal with a team that just hit for 102 in regulation.
 
I love this 2OT win for the Jays

They were dead in the water, everyone was off, Alexander in particular. Yet they survived. Second chance.

Like an infielder dropping a foul pop-up.
