NCAA Sweet 16

[BigErnMcCracken]

I don't think Stanley Johnson is NBA ready. He needs to work on his handle and outside shot. He should stay another year at Arizona.

Plus he can't be more than, what, 6-1? He's like a Kevin Pangos clone.

Beyond the obvious fact our still reigning national champion Huskies aren't in March Madness this year, from a distance this dance does not appear all too exciting. Back home in the U.S., how exciting has this year's tourney been compared with the few other recent years UCONN has not qualified?

 

[Danzz]

Best bracket I've had in years at this point
KY, NCST, ND, LOU, OK, MSU in Elite 8.
MSU winning it.

 

[UConnSwag11]

they're having a sweet sixteen in a football stadium?

 

[UConnSwag11]

parker lost a lot of weight

 

[Stainmaster]

Good god, both UCLA and Gonzaga have forgotten how to shoot.

 

[UConnSwag11]

great atmosphere at these two...

Who do we want between NC State and Lville, no question I'm routing for NcState take the lesser evil.

idk... I can't stand gottfried... i hate louisville and their offense is so ugly it hurts

I will go for the team that is less likely to win the elite 8 game which i think is NCState. It would also mean Lville would lose in the Sweet 16 to a number 8 seed the second year in a row. There aren't many choices for us to route for.

Can a Mark Few team ever finish the deal? Seems Gonzaga always jumps out to leads and than blows them in the tourney.

Gonzaga is 2-16 from three and is still looking good. Karnowski, "the polish mountain" as I call him is a beast. If they shoot even close to what they normally do from downtown and they're blowing UCLA out of the building. They're getting good looks just not knocking them down (maybe it's the dome).

Let's hope they save all of their shooting for Duke (if they both advance).

Lulz, it looks like Abu really let his offensive "explosion" from his first 2 NCAA games go to his head. He can't buy a bucket, but keeps forcing it every time he touches it. The best was that backdown near the end of the 1st half in which his turnaround shot hit the top of the backboard.

All that said, I'm still hurting he's not a Husky...

 

[Scoe]

Ha Matt Santangelo, Ricky completly shut him down, of course they don't mention who Gonzaga lost to in that Elite 8 game.

 

[Stainmaster]

Anton Gill coming out of absolutely nowhere for UL.

 

[D-NICE]

Louisville has the Hargrave Military connection with Gill, Harrell, and Rozier helping them advance to the elite8.

 

[Fishy]

That's depth.

Things are going poorly and you have a top-40 kid gathering dust on the bench that you can break out for a spark.

 

[Scoe]

Wow Verne Lundquist has lost it and he knows it.

Was Abu even in the game the last 12 minutes?

I'm surprised Ville made this look pretty easy in 2nd half. Abu & Freeman just ate everything in the paint vs Nova. Thought they'd have a good shot at keeping Harrell in check and win the boards. Rozier with 14 rebounds?

 

[ASweet3781]

11 misses by Utah-Duke to start.

But keep playing hoops in massive football stadiums.

 

[aceboon]

How did Grant Hill earn a spot with #1 team when he literally just started doing games this year? Not sure if no Greg Anthony plays a part because they've been doing the 3 man team for a few years now and we're gonna have to fill Steve Kerr's spot, but they should just let Nantz and Raftery handle things as a duo. Hill is dry and adds nothing.

 

[Scoe]

3-2 at the under 16 looks like a Uconn-Cincy score.

 

[Scoe]

The refs need to stop being the Gezpatcho don't ruin a good game. BS foul even Grant Hill thinks it was a bad call let them fight for the damn ball.

 

[aceboon]

3rd foul on Wright was bogus as hell, this stretch can completely change the game, hopefully Utah can manage these last 4 minutes of the half

No question. Way too cold for cold soup right now.
