Tennessee's coach made them watch One Shining Moment before the game... what a cornball.

But it was the Luther Vandros version and that's what matters.

 

[truly101]

Actually, you know what, give me a year where the ACC wins football and the SEC wins basketball.

Well I guess that sorta happened. FSU wins the championship, Clemson beat tOSU, Duke didn't beat A&M but it was a highly entertaining game and a year that Duke goes bowling when Tennessee and UF doesn't is a win in some regard.

 

[UraMallas]

Just ran around the block. Fucking yes. #cyclONEnation

Someone get Naz Long a medal. Dude has save our asses in so many games this year. I'm sure Oklahoma State alone has nightmares about him.

Seriously. Threesus be praised. Guy has ice water in his veins.

 

[jfkgoblue]

ISU better go to f4 I pretty much have $50 riding on that

 

[anotherVegan]

Gator fans, UCLA or SFA?

Doesn't matter?

That was going to be my answer.

Learning from ultimate cornball, Butch Jones.

 

[RellyRell28]

Time to see who Wisconsin's next opponent will be

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Thank God.

This tournament would've been unbearable if UNC got to the S16.

Almost as bad as 2012 but we got Kansas to thank for that one.

 

[Fjordson]

Anyone else keep seeing this Coke commercial? Best ad I've seen during the tourney.

http://youtu.be/l4KjsbGkbcc

That beat is hot.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Let's be real here, even if we got past Mercer, Tennessee would've run a train on us.

Love that commercial. Coke doing what it does best, bringing a smile to your face.

 

[Rokam]

Stop it Baylor.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Your reigning NIT champs off to a good start. Creighton should never let Heslip get open. He'll hit D-Bag 3's all night

 

[Talon]

Classy reaction by huckleberry there, though. Cal would probably go ballistic. Have to be honest, had us out to Iowa State in all my brackets. Seen too much struggle in the half court over the year with Marcus bailing our asses out.

Please leave, JMM.

Onward to Pinsanity. And Berrytown. And Action Jackson.

 

[bachikarn]

Tenn actually has legit talent in Stokes, Maymon, and McRae. If they actually had a decent coach, they probably would have been in the top 10-25 all year. So many head scratching losses.

They are #7 on KenPom right now.

 

[jjasper]

What crazy season. I wasn't on the fire Martin train but I don't think it was completely unjustified. This team was underachieving all season but got it together when it mattered.

 

[inm8num2]

Tom Izzo right now.

7 and 0. Shame it can only get up to 10-0 before someone has to lose.

Damn straight

Check out the name of the #1 bracket in GAF's group. Courtesy of yours truly :lol

 

[JustProgress]

Go Baylor

 

[Deleted member 12837]

Let's be real here, even if we got past Mercer, Tennessee would've run a train on us.

According to Kenpom we would've been the underdogs in that game had we beaten Mercer.

 

[UraMallas]

Baylor is woodshedding Creighton.

 

[RellyRell28]

Creighton better start hitting 3s to bust this zone

 

[Surge]

UVa is so boring I forgot they were still in the tournament.

3-5


???

LOL yeah...I got it all mixed up there.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Better move now. If they wait he will look terrible next year when they lose everyone.

I don't know about the rest of your incoming freshmen but Larry Austin can play.

Solid PG play plus Stokes and Richardson and you guys might not be too bad.

 

[Talon]

Man, Baylor's size advantage is real.

 

[Fjordson]

Holy hell. Creighton is in my final four. C'mon Doug!

That was under the assumption stokes leaves. If he stays yeah we could be ok.

 

[Talon]

Yeah, sure, take a 27 foot 3 on a break when you're down 17.

 

[Laieon]

I have Creighton going to the Elite 8. All my Final Four (Florida, Arizona, Louisville, and Michigan St.) teams are still in, but today definitely hurt to say the least. Went from tied for 2nd in my pool to tied for 6th...

 

[MrPink93485]

Yeah, sure, take a 27 foot 3 on a break when you're down 17.

Creighton outside of Doug has no inside presence really. When he's out, they have to be hitting the 3 if they want to make this a game.

It was the third pass on a break, and it was to the big guy at the top of the key 27 feet out.

They're better at moving the ball than that.

 

[alba]

MSU got this, we gon win it all, let's go!

 

[Seth C]

Holy hell. Creighton is in my final four. C'mon Doug!

Hey look, it's one of those terrible teams we lost to and got penalized for beating the shit out of someone.

 

[Fjordson]

If he goes to Duke, that means we'll probably have Grayson Allen and Luke Kennard on the same team.

Scrappiness levels rising
Basketball IQ levels rising
Gym Rat-iness levels rising


Athleticism levels falling

:lol somehow missed this post earlier.

Though I will say, Kennard seems to be pretty athletic. Not a huge athlete or anything, but he can slash to the basket and get out in transition.

 

[Z_Y]

It just dawned on me that the Big East has one team left in the tourney.....and they are from Nebraska.

I think it was Wragge who took the shot...but yeah he does those long range shots a lot, it was nice when he made about 7 of em' against Villanova. Not so much now.

Grayson Allen has bounce

It's just fun to play off of those old stereotypes

 

[RellyRell28]

Wisconsin better start game planning against this zone

 

[Fjordson]

Damn, that's nice.

I know some people say K is ready to retire, but he's at least doing serious work on the recruiting trail.

That 4 step gather doe! He'd fit right in at Cameron.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

He should've been a Gator

 

[unknownstranger]

Both these games suck and Gonzaga's gonna get blown out by Arizona. Memphis-Virginia is our only hope for all the late games not sucking.

 

[Talon]

Glad to see Creighton still thuggin' around. Where's Gibbs winking?

http://vimeo.com/89872036

Marcus

Bro deserved better for his clutchness. Damn it, PJ!

Berry, Jackson, and Pinson will be nice, but I hope Marcus sticks around...

 

[theprodigy]

my bracket's fucked, so screw it let's go Baylor!

 

[TheSchwab_7]

I'm from Omaha, but picked Baylor. Creighton has no big guys. Goodnight sweet prince. Then again Nebraska blew a 18 point lead so who knows.

 

[perfectchaos007]

These strong mid majors really struggle against teams with length.

 

[Talon]

These strong mid majors really struggle against teams with length.

Baylor's probably one of the biggest team in the country, though.

UNC would've struggled with them even with that hyperathletic front court...+ Pudge Meeks.
