THURSDAY NIGHT MARCH 28 GAMES THREAD

[bbncal02]

I think I'd pull for UNC. I'm not convinced their coach is going to be very good once he loses his two 5th year All-Americans. He wins a title and it's a guarantee he's there for another 4 years no matter what happens next. And I can't see Uconn, Duke, or UT win, please no.

UT is the best to win that makes absolutely NO threat to us. But I feel you. The damn crowing would be un freaking bearable.

If we get a repeat of 2022 with a North Carolina/Tennessee champ game where we beat both teams in the regular season only to lose Rnd 1 while they go all the way... sigh

I’m confused. UT has never made a Ff. Much les a Championship Game.

Not a repeat of that particular matchup but a repeat of a title game where we beat both teams in the regular season. In 2022 Kansas beat UNC after we throttled them both early in the year. If UNC and Tenn end up facing each other, same deal (except of course we split the series with UT this year).

No one expects the title game to be unc vs UT. Get real.

Alabama needed to build a bit of a lead while Bacot was out of the game. Instead, they are down 5. That's a big L during that stretch.

 

[CrimsonCats]

Refs taking over for UNC. Free throws for Davis after getting breathed on. Allowed him to push Sears halfway across the court for a turnover.

 

[studentcat]

If you are not entertained by this game, you need to have your head checked. What a great game so far

 

[fatguy87]

Wow! Big balls Nelson. He is a problem for UNC.

 

[gbl97]

All in on Grant Nelson. A revelation.

 

[true blue1]

Nelson is a pro!

 

[fatguy87]

Davis is having a nightmare game, 0-9 from 3. He has to hit a big shot or two down the stretch right?!? Alabama has been lucky with him having an off night and UNC missing some easy shots around the rim.

 

[fatguy87]

Just like that, UNC goes on a 6-0 run.

 

[Ugoff]

Wow! Big balls Nelson. He is a problem for UNC.

He reminds me of H I McDunnough....

 

[fatguy87]

Likely a 8-0 run for UNC and 3 straight empty possessions for Bama. Down goes Bama in a blink.

 

[Farsight]

Here comes the UNCheat whistle SMH

 

[The_Answer1313]

Sears is tough lol

 

[Lazlo7]

Great Game(s), Just making me pissed at Mitch

 

[Farsight]

Doesn't it wonder how we beat Bama lol

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Back on the Nate Oats bandwagon again.

 

[yes_takeaside]

Knecht and Nelson. UK not interested or involved but at least the Cats got JE

 

[The_Answer1313]

Crazy thing is Bama is basically a carbon copy of us. Very good on offense and very bad on defense lol.

 

[southvillecat]

I need unc to lose for my sanity lol

 

[Jack2936]

davis drive

 

[The_Answer1313]

Wow Davis trying to do wayyyyy too much there haha.

 

[Lazlo7]

Nelson made him some money tonight.

 

[KTBFFH92]

Oats is a terrific coach plain and simple

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Grant Nelson defends better than anyone on our team

 

[ChicagoCat1990]

This is my favorite time of the year. Cheering for rivals to lose so they can join in our misery lol

 

[yes_takeaside]

C’mon make these

 

[ukcatz12]

Exhibit A why you need defense.

 

[sambowieshin]

As I watch these teams play zone, good D, execute on offense and do it with upperclassmen....I Can't F'ing believe we have to put up with another year of Cal and his freshman flops.

 

[CondorCat]

Grant Nelson just amazing in the clutch.

 

[Neue Regel]

Wow. What a thriller! Ole Neue’s heart is thumping loudly.

 

[Jack2936]

clutch

 

[fatguy87]

My heart is pounding and my palms are sweaty. What is this sensation? It's strange but familiar. I reckon this excitement is something I once experienced a long time ago.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

Boom!!!

Barkley gonna have fun with Kenny…..

FU Kenny Smiff.

 

[Kamuka]

Congratulations to Bama. I think they will beat Clemson too.

 

[anonymous_2011]

Roll Tide ! (just this once!)

 

[MidseasonTweak]

I wonder if "just go fight" was a critical part of Nate Oats' gameplan tonight.

 

[The_Answer1313]

This doesn't excuse what happened with UK but I would be lying if I didn't say this didn't just make me a tiny bit happier at the moment LOL.
