Tues/Weds Tournament Games

[upstater]

Big East 1-0
SEC 0-1

Just like the last 2 years

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Great comeback by X and another feather in the cap of Rodney Terry’s less than impressive run as UT coach.

 

[Ripper32]

Terry really does suck as a coach.

Yep. Way too much stagnant ISO.

 

[3rdbass]

Nice win by Xavier and a big rebound and put back by Swain on Freemantle's 3 attempt. They really battled back and hit some nice 3s including that huge center they have.

 

[HCCForever]

Damn Rodney Terry looks goofy as f with those circular lens glasses , LOL

As someone else said before Gus Fring of Breaking Bad is a good comp

 

[uconngb]

No way Illinois beats Xavier

 

[Goldenflash]

That Freemantle shot was awful. But love the end result.

It was a pass off the glass!

 

[DogMania]

Impressive effort and win by Xavier. Big East representing!

 

[superjohn]

Congrats Xavier. Nice to see something positive for Freemantle.

One of my favorite Big East players maybe ever.

 

[JakeTheDog]

I can’t imagine Rodney Terry lasts much longer at Texas. So happy for Freemantle - kid deserves some good luck.

 

[storrsroars]

I've never heard Fremantle speak before. Had no idea he could do a Michael Rapaport impersonation.

 

[NHUConnfan]

Hell of a coaching job by Sean Miller. He had to mix and match that whole game with foul trouble. Go X!

A masterclass in the 2nd half.

 

[gsmooth]

Next game in the NCAAT is a Big East game, too. This time the Big East team, Creighton, will be the defacto road team playing Louisville in Lexington

 

[CTBasketball]

“Sean what’re your thoughts on the Illini next?”

“Yea I don’t even care”

 

[NHUConnfan]

As someone else said before Gus Fring of Breaking Bad is a good comp

With a touch of Don Lemon

 

[Jaydumo20]

How many of us in the first half were like "man, the SEC is so tough, even play-in Texas is dominant" and then realized, after the final buzzer that maybe WE can win too...

 

[uconnfan68]

It was a pass off the glass!

I recognized that!

 

[tzznandrew]

Absolutely, my Illini buddy wants no part of either of these teams.

Has there been a "good" team that's had their brains beaten in as much this year as Illinois? Multiple 20+ point losses. Maryland and Duke could name their score against them. I think 7 double digit losses...

Next game in the NCAAT is a Big East game, too. This time the Big East team, Creighton, will be the defacto road team playing Louisville in Lexington

Will not be as friendly as a crowd as people think.

 

[superjohn]

The crew just mentioned all Freemantle's injuries and how his career was supposed to be over earlier this season and Jerome Hunter with a heart attack and Achilles. This X team has been through so much.

 

[aceboon]

Adam Lefkoe just cuts off Jay Wright while he's in the middle of his thoughts and then swings it to Seth Davis

 

[aceboon]

Will not be as friendly as a crowd as people think.

I figure BBN will be traveling to Milwaukee to see UK, Louisville fans should be able to pack Lexington out

 

[2014DualCs]

That game was awesome to watch.

• Big man brick, big man 3!, big man heat check
• league tre Johnson already
• Freemantle is really, really good
• Xavier is fun, will root for them rest of tourney

 

[Scottobot]

Was the Texas coach auditioning for Matrix 4: The Reboot?

 

[HooperScooper]

Will not be as friendly as a crowd as people think.

Good point. Kentucky fans hate Louisville.

 

[ecasadoSBU]

Lets go X! Big East!!!!

 

[superjohn]

I wonder if Zugic will be able to play for Creighton.

 

[ec33]

Vandy, Georgia, OU and Texas are all wildly overrated. They didn’t do anything but lose to good teams. That’s my view and I’m sticking with it.

Well, UGA beat Florida. We'll see if the two-time defending champs can match that "nothing" (not that I won't be finding that Georgia victory comforting on Sunday morning).

 

[Scrutineer]

These don't look like 11 seeds

Maybe because they're playing each other?

 

[Jimdish255]

Xavier can win more games if they show what they did in the second half tonite right from the start.
