Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - Sweet 16

[gsmooth]

Miffed at why McDermott didn’t do more in portal to fill out his starting 5 and bench. Their 5th spot is basically a dead void, the bench is rancid. In key spots, they only have two dependable guys you can go to. Just bad roster building when you have 2 core guys to build around in Kalk and Scheirman.

It seems like Creighton very rarely has a bench.

Joke all you want, the major college betting/point shaving scandal is on the horizon, only question is who's involved.

The Illuminati! And the Bohemian Grove! Both involved.

Duke's guards look shaky tonight. They may be too green. But their frontcourt is legit. Filo, Mitchell and Young is a bruiser.

Mitchell has been trash most of this month. He and Young were bad today.

Craptastic is one way to put it. I didn't really care who won between Creighton or Tennessee, but the other three games the team I was pulling for lost : (

I wanted Creighton to keep the BE represented as much as possible and to see how they'd do against Purdue, but Tennessee is going to be a challenge for Purdue regardless.

Now Creighton hitting 3s get outta here.

 

[AllHusky]

Knecht shoots 3’s like they are layups

 

[gsmooth]

Oof what a tough night for Alexander

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Painter vs. Barnes

A great battle of coaches that crap their pants in the tournament.

I'd rather face Duke than Perdue in the final...if we get there.

 

[HCCForever]

Tough night for Big East fans and haters of Duke like myself. It couldn't have gotten much worse.

Possibly. It's a question of how many fouls we can utilize against the behemoth. Maybe even deploy Singare early?

 

[Gurleyman]

I feel like Houston’s strategy was to not run any plays so they could save them all and surprise NC State with them. Backfired.

lol. Singare would foul out in two possessions against Edey.

One of the top 3 threats out

I think Illinois and Tennessee are the toughest match ups for us out of the remaining 8

I think Tenn takes down Purdue, Bama over Clemson, and Duke beats NC State

Have to agree. The length of Illinois guards has me concerned.

The fat bastard gets all the love for the wolfpack, but Mo is carrying them.

It turns out, you can take Creighton out of the Missouri Valley but you can’t take the Missouri Valley out of Creighton

They made the Sweet 16 so this is not a great take.

The UConn football only fans are a strange breed.

Okay? Plenty of mid-majors have made the S16 and beyond

 

[FfldCntyFan]

shoulda been a 1 bid league. marquette getting cooked

Does the mighty B-12 have anyone left?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Creighton is a great team and good for the league and this may sound weird and inconsequential , but their uniforms ( color and print) are so mid major.

Please don't give Kobe any ideas.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Scheyer looks like a middle school gym teacher, sans the respect middle school gym teachers command.

He looks more like the guy coaching his five year old son's T-Ball team.

Aim high

So are the Big East apologista.

Every minute matters in March. Creighton was -2 in the first 22 minutes, and +9 in the last 14 minutes. Typically that’ll be enough

In the 4 minutes in between, they were -14 and it’s game over

 

[HuskyHawk]

I had a sinus infection and an ear infection after BET , I never felt bad, went to work everyday like it was a nuisance cold. Only difference was blowing neon green snot. A few days later I lost all hearing ( I mean all of it) in my right ear , I saw an ENT early this week. I got some hearing back, but I ended up with 60% hearing loss in my right ear. I’m now faced with a choice of surgery with coin flip odds that it can repair, or a permanent hearing aid.

So you are not wrong.

If you end up with the latter DM me. I wish I had 40% hearing in either ear.

So what was your point, that Creighton‘s good?
