terrible possession damn

no time out, but the pg can’t give that up. he was the reason they hung in there.

Gonzaga was a Final Four team in any other region.

 

[crawfords corner]

Those were some crazy ass 1 vs 8/9 games

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Go for two with 14 seconds.

 

[Lempface]

Glad Houston won, I hate the Zags, and I think Houston has a shot to beat Duke, which we all know is the priority. But man, Zaga, how do you not get a shot up, lol, guy forgot how to use his hands and his feet betrayed him.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Not sure why the guy gave that ball up? Then put it in the corner on the sideline? Basically turns two defenders into four. Really terrible decision. Surely Self didn’t draw that up to look like that?

 

[AJG-15]

Purdue in Indianapolis will be a tough game for Houston .

 

[Farsight]

I think its Braden Smith

Imagine if we play them in the Elite 8. Pope can say, wanna start next year? Throw the game lol jk

idk, but they found their confidence in that conference tournament. houston could not put them away. great effort.

If you look at the metrics, and believe in them, Gonzaga was truly legit. All season long.

Hard not to like Sampson when he’s not at IU

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

Houston won and that broke my bracket. That was my big upset swing and miss pick.

I am so glad he got caught.

 

[hotelblue]

Houston beatable.

if you can get ahead of them and put pressure on their offense. if you get behind you’re ****ed.

yeah, i don’t disagree. just not sure on ff good. they were tonight though. most teams would have folded.

Time to watch UT win by 20. UCLA has zero chance

Tennessee living at the free throw line so far.

Goodness so much ugly orange in Rupp 🤢

 

[hotelblue]

i’ll give ucla a chance. ut will have their patented 6 minute scoring drought.

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

Chalkiest tournament I’ve seen. Wondering if this might become the new norm now that top programs can build from the portal where there is a more predictable fit and productivity

 

[hotelblue]

how do you lose lanier? what could possibly be higher on the scouting report?

Zags fans have to have the bluest balls ever.

Thank you Henry. I do remember that. I also remember 2008 where all four #1s made the FF. This seems like a year that could happen again

I don't see how UCLA can pull this out at the current rate. Even with a scoring drought from the balls. Tennessee has them locked up defensively and the refs have given Tennessee six points because a UCLA player was in the vicinity of a shot.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

Goodness so much ugly orange in Rupp 🤢

it makes me feel icky

 

[hotelblue]

ganey is other guy. wide, wide open. can’t get down 15 mick, or the drought does no good. have to keep it under 10.

 

[silentsaregolden2.0]

Goodness so much ugly orange in Rupp 🤢

And it's not the kind of orange you can sit with. I can't stress enough how much I hate Tennessee.

 

[HenryMuto]

Amazing we shot 12/24 not once but twice vs this defense in Tennessee

 

[hotelblue]

ucla outclassed. they’re tired also. haven’t seen defense like this probably all year.

 

[HenryMuto]

Only 2 teams left in kenpom worst than Arkansas who is now up to 36th

New Mexico 41
Colorado St 52

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Man Lanier would have been nice to get. He is the difference

 

[Worf88]

Pope prioritizing Robinson over Lanier is the difference in us getting bounced in the tournament vs being a title favorite. Makes me sick.

If there’s a time I’m ok with blatant cheating, it’s when UCLA is involved. I’m rooting for Eww Teee over them. I never want to see that program get even the slightest amount of momentum.

you voice that now? convenient.

Robinson sure outplayed him in H2H matchups

 

[HenryMuto]

Is that one a F2 ?

 

[the nail at the foul line]

I hate UCLA.

I hate the Big Ten.

I dislike UT.

If that were reversed it would be Flagrant 2.

 

[BC_Wader]

Lanier was grazed in the chest. He acted like he was gut punched. I hate that acting crap.
