Preemptive post:

Team X made ___ 3s against Team Y's M2M defense! I thought that M2M defense was impenetrable!

Go Texas Tech and Purdue. Winners? Zags and Cavs

Feels like Baylor hit 970 of them against us

This Gonzaga / Texas Tech game has been a good one.

Offences have been efficient given the slower tempo... and now the game is picking up in tempo and intensity, Rui is a beast.

 

[jncuse]

Duke was the least favoured team in the elite 8.

Duke -2 vs Michigan St
Virginia -4.5 vs Purdue
Kentucky -4.5 vs Auburn
Gonzaga -5 vs Texas Tech

I guess it is as much an element of Michigan St. But it seems in general there is a little souring on Duke right now.

Entering today the odds to win NCAA title I believe were +260 for Duke and +290 for Virginia in 2nd place.

If I took a drink every time the commentators mentioned Texas Tech's defense, I'd be in the hospital with IV fluids

 

[Cheriehoop]

Lots of reaching allowed by TT. Gonzaga’s offense has become too stagnant.

I absolutely believe Syracuse could have locked up Gonzaga if they played one another.

 

[justgold315]

Perkins is not a good defender

 

[jncuse]

What a block and play by Owens ... wow.

 

[OrangeDW]

Warrick-esque

 

[MikeSU02]

And the refs missed a huge play.

 

[jncuse]

I absolutely believe Syracuse could have locked up Gonzaga if they played one another.

Or maybe Texas Tech, the Big 12 champs, are actually a really good team.

Dumb play. Pass the ball. Ball moves faster than dribbling it around.

 

[OrangeDW]

Pass the ball, Cousy wannabe.

Where did I take anything away from Texas Tech?

The turnover was timed perfectly with the announcers comments.

"All he has to do is hold onto to the ball..."... as soon as that comment ends he turns it over.

Perkins looks like Howard Washington and that kid on TT with the headband looks like Hak.

I thought you were using the fact that Gonzaga is losing tonight to show that we could take them,

To me Gonzaga is losing because Tech is a good team... a much better team than us.
