Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - Sweet 16

[August_West]

The early window looking as bad as you can get tonight.

I guess it’s up to Creighton and Houston to salvage

This NC State team stinks which makes it all the more frustrating.

Grant Hill thinks it's the Milwaukee Golden Eagles.

Mitchell didn't close out again on defense, but NC State missed anyway, then on the other end, Mitchell passes up a wide open 3, drives into the paint and turns it over.

Marquette was so happy to finally make it through the first weekend that they were done and checked out of the tournament

3/24 on 3 pointers for MU

 

[nelsonmuntz]

And Kam Jones shooting terribly for a guy who can really shoot the 3

Mitchell and Joplin are 0 for 9 from 3.

Mitchell just walked and they didn't call it. Either he is high or is fixing the game. He is way too good a player to play like this.

Maybe when the big east chosen team doesn't get favorable officiating that they get in the big east, they are not so great.

3/24 on three, officially now worse than UConn’s 3/22. The only difference is UConn still blew out NW.

Marquette keeps taking threes. They are 3 for 24 and had gotten it down to 8. W t f

Shaka def had a premature cry after round of 32. You would think he was coaching Cincinnati or something

That was Joplin who travelled.

Yeah that’s what it is

They're all wide open shots. I would say you can't turn down wide open shots but I also know none of them are going to go in.

I agree, and the unchosen team (UConn) looks so much better when they no longer have Big East officiating. It's happened two years in a row. No doubt in my mind that San Diego State would have beaten Marquette.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

How many times on the help defense is Mitchell going to foul a guy? He didn't get called on the Igodharo block, but he definitely fouled the NC State player on the baseline.

Mitchell runs right into a screen that had to have been called out, then goes down, leaving his guy wide open for a 3.

 

[gsmooth]

Mitchell was trying to draw the foul when he ran into that screen

Couldn't be the poor shooting. Must be the refs not handing them the game.

Mitchell is not an idiot, he was never getting that call, and flopping was stupid.

 

[The Yakk]

I want no one other than Jones and Kolek handling the ball in the last 4 minutes.

Everyone else focus on defense and stay out of the way, you all suck.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Crazy thing is NC State has been very unimpressive this game, Marquette just can’t hit a 3. They should be killing them right now.

 

[superjohn]

What the hell is Oso doing?

Dude is brutally bad.

Playing Mitchell the whole second half is Shaka's fault. Something is up with him and he should have been pulled off the court.

Mitchell just gave up another open look right in his face that went in and out.

 

[The Yakk]

Lol Iggy what are you doing? I said Jones or Kolek
