[jncuse]

Mathurin is a 4-star out of Mexico City?

He's from Montreal

 

[NineOneSeven]

Yeah Arizona.

 

[samspann1]

Officiating was an abomination tonight. Worse than usual, which is hard to do.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Awww, damn.

 

[SWC75]

Big East -2 teams
SEC - 1 teams
AAC- 1 teams
Big West - 1 team
MAAC - 1 team

 

[jncuse]

Crazy putback to end the game.

There was big plays in the last 10 minutes of this game.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Not too small now.

Am I rooting for tcu?

I was.

 

[longislandcuse]

Kind of in awe at how unlikable this Arizona team is…

 

[NineOneSeven]

TCU had it. These games come down to one play here and there. Wild.

Somewhere, Lorenzo Charles is smiling.

Refs totally stole that game by not calling that foul in regulation. Tcu should have been shooting FTs to win the game.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Props to TCU. They lasted longer in this tournament than they spent as members of the Big East.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

He's from Montreal

Ahh. Thanks. He played for the NBA Academy in Mexico.

In the tradition of the 1987-88 group.

We were both right.

There are a number of Canadian players that head to the US for their last few years of high school. But never heard of one going to Mexico.

Per Wiki
"Mathurin is a native of Montreal, Quebec and grew up playing ice hockey and football as a quarterback.[1] He competed for the Quebec provincial basketball team.[2] In 2018, Mathurin joined the NBA Academy Latin America in Mexico City, becoming its first Canadian-born player".

Hipcheck and push.

As I get older I find myself really feeling for the losers in these games. So much effort spent. And for so many their last games ever. Especially games like tonight where just one basket, you win.

 

[kirbivore]

Arizona has a defensive rebounding problem. If they prevail here their next game would be Houston. They might want to address this issue before the next game.

I don’t care what the line is I’m betting Houston plus the points with a money line sprinkle

 

[Orangezoo]

Hipcheck and push.

That is just pathetic officiating. No excuse for it. Blatant foul.

 

[longislandcuse]

Thought my eyes were deceiving me.. Seems accidental though.

Never heard about Sean Elliot and Kenny Lofton being bad guys. They’re the only 2 I remember. Please enlighten

Am I rooting for tcu?

We should NOT. TCU is the team with so many flaws. Arizona is a more complete team. We need Arizona to beat Villanova in that region. Can't let Villanova to get their third championship.
