Maybe the hottest pick in my bracket is Gonzaga over Purdue, for no reason other than it’s Matt Painter vs. the month of March

Media heads would love a redemption story 2.0. I think Purdue at least makes the championship.

Clingan/eddy and redemption vs repeat would be easy to market.

I refuse to believe the ACC is this good.

They aren't, they are just top heavy. Everyone knew UNC and Duke were good, and Clemson shouldn't have been a shock as the 3rd. Only shock for me was NC State who Marquette HOPEFULLY takes out. After that they sucked, exmaple: Virginia.

Shannon kind of does the speedier version of Bryce Hopkins. He crashes into defenders at full speed and gets the foul call.

Always. Even when there is no foul, saw it yesterday. Castle needs to take him the same way.

We could legit beat Clemson by 40. We just beat SDSU by 30.

Clemson is better than SDSU. I expected that they'd beat Arizona. I didn't expect UNC to shoot so badly against a bad Alabama team. Clemson is probably final four bound.

Only one of you has mentioned it so far (@superjohn) but Diarra is going to be just as important as Steph in covering Shannon this game. There is a significant chance that Steph picks up 2 fouls in the 1st half, particularly since Shannon often gets a friendly whistle (as several of you have already mentioned)... and Diarra is going to have to do what he does, which is to also be an excellent lock down defender.

Steph has shown a penchant to pick up 2 fouls in the first half and Shannon is going to try his best to force Steph into it. How Danny manages both Steph and Hassan guarding Shannon is going to be a huge key to this game.

Let's get up early so we can dictate to them how this is going to go. Put all of the pressure on Shannon to be otherworldly.
 
it’s bad optics for Sweet 16 games and there are empty sections down low in the beginning.
 
Not a great crowd for NC State vs Marquette. Not a great matchup to be played in TX. They don't pick up local interest in those teams.

NC State looks more physically imposing then Marquette but Marquette hanging in they gotta get going though like now.

Clemson is pretty bad, they have some bad losses and their leading scorers are PJ Hall and Joe Girard. Clemson Bama is an awful elite 8 game.

Shaka is going to need to get way more active on the defensive end, I mean, by the bench area.
 
I like Marquette, I really don’t like Joplin. He sucks always except in the BET final last year. Get him off floor
 
Marquette is lucky that Horne has 2 fouls... otherwise the Wolfpack would be running them off the court. 0 for 8 from 3? And they look disjointed as heck otherwise and just way too passive.

Weird... anyway, they better wake up or they will be going home.

Ighodaro is a total enigma to me. There are points where he looks great. But then he disappears for huge stretches at a time. They need him to step up and be a man on the inside.

Marquette better step it up…this NC State run should have ended by now
