    NCAA Sweet Sixteen Games for Thurs March 28

    It's incredible they NEVER get a hard road. How many times they wear white as a 3/4 or 7 seed in the F4. Now this cakewalk which they cry about.

    They lost to every good team they played on the road that year too iirc. Including G'town by double digits. '05 we had the same resume' pretty much, they're a 1, we're a 4. That South Carolina team they lost to was the worst #7 by a lot in Kenpom...tends to happen a lot.

    I wasn't watching that closely but Jay Wright at halftime showed about 3 layups of A&M drivers getting hammered with no call. And they still shot 45 FT's(?!), yikes.

    Even just Hall/Scheffler/Hunter is a damn good trio to start with. Didn't wilt on the road in Duke/UNC, (should've won both) so they're not soft mentally. Poster child of a team I would've picked to make a run before I became a Kenpom loyalist. GG New Mex. +1 on not trusting Love/AZ as far as...

    Bills 2024 Thread - Misery loves company

    I don't get Beane sometimes. Aren't you thrilled if you pick a player like that in Rd 5? The $ savings is peanuts compared to anchor deals like Knox. Like you said it's very unlikely we're as healthy up front next year. Not a fan of this deal at all.

    Turnovers are all that matter but only in the Regular season. Also, the Regular Season doesn't matter. That's their argument with a straight face.

    Are we the worst rebounding team in the history of P5? It's so pathetic. Fitting to lose on a play we regularly forfeit on the other end, the rebound on missed FT.

    Mostly OT: reviewing plays and interruptions

    There's also the unintended consequences part of it. Guy comes crashing down from behind on a rebound, makes some contact, ball grazes off fingernail of the guy with position. For a hundred years nobody ever complained about giving the ball to Team B. Now we stop and look but only at 2:00...

    Mostly OT: reviewing plays and interruptions

    I say it all the time but the parlay of a clearly wrong call being corrected and making the difference in the outcome and being just (everything else in the game was fair)...is way more rare than people think. Like a .5% shot. If you don't check all those boxes who cares. Not worth it.

    Mea Culpa

    It's a much better eye test team than say it out loud team. They can't shoot, rebound, or defend. "Other than that Mrs Lincoln..". But I always think we're gonna win vs other mediocre teams like BC/FSU based on what the Guards are capable of as seen last night. Plus Brown & Q are so slick.

    That sounds good in theory but Andy Reid isn't going for 4th&5 in FG range down 3. Ya he could and should go for 2 if they both score TDs, so be it.

    We do SB squares every Qtr. I knew the muffed punt screwed me for Q3 but won so much smashing KC in-game I didn't really care. Then I open email & see two of the highest paid in the office won twice each. Seems fair.

    2nd time in playoffs Mahomes is on the bench crapping his pants about to lose. Having Spags/Chris Jones I guess is like playing Madden; just dial up the "stop them" play in every big spot. Like Romo said, had to know they were gonna blitz. Needed 4 yards to win the game. They didn't have a 4...

    I will disagree a little bit; Starling doesn't normally go the rim like that in the halfcourt, it was pretty clear why he did. If we were a football team we wouldn't be able to stop long drives, so knock yourself out going for steals as far as I'm concerned - it's the only way we can get stops...

    You have to be an entitled program like UNC to expect a call there on the road, right? Obnoxious head jerk. Jay Will blabbing on and on obviously. Didn't like Hubert's time out either, had his best player in transition vs D on their heels. Why let me set up w 4secs left.
