NCAA Elite Eight Games for Sat March 30

[Cusefan0307]

UConn is going to go back-to-back. How can they be THIS dominant?

Hurley might be the best coach of all time.

 

[Sherman20]

This is gross. I am gonna throw up.

 

[swish7]

Stunning flatline
8.5 scoreless minutes

 

[orangenauburn]

Yeah. This has more to do with Illinois going ice cold and then giving up as the lead ballooned than anything

 

[Eric15]

I feel like I’m watching a 1/16 game on Thursday at 12:10 pm between UConn and Grambling.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

It's embarrassing how bad Illinois has shot and just given up

Even though Uconn would have won I doubt they humiliate Illinois this badly if Guerrier didn't fuel that run at the end of the half single handedly with his bonehead shots and decisions.

At least we aren't in the same conference as uconn can you imagine having to deal with catching 2 beat downs a year from them?

 

[Vorony]

I was really hoping that Kentucky would have canned Calipari and poached Hurley from UConn. Bringing them back to irrelevance. But here we are.

 

[PoppyHart]

Edney vs Clingan could be interesting.

Tyus Edney is only 5’ 10”.

 

[orangenauburn]

1/19

 

[orange7]

I can’t deal with UConn winning by this much….

 

[Sherman20]

Illinois is 1-19 in the second half. This is all a mental collapse.

 

[syrBossHogg]

To think 3 years ago UConn looked incompetent vs Maryland in the tourney and now seeing them as a juggernaut just wrecking teams

 

[Lukeyloo]

I partially blame Cuse for UConn’s dominance. If we didn’t fall off so badly in northeastern recruiting, they likely wouldn’t be where they are.

 

[hoopsupstate]

But why? JB practically discovered him. Yeah, there was the story about his mother. I think he just didn’t want to play for JB. Hurley abused JB on the trail those last few years.

He was never leaving CT. It had nothing to do with JB.

It’s like an episode of ER.

Eph Bill Murray. He’s from Chicago and rooted for Illinois in their 2005 Final Four run.

His son is Luke Murray, the UConn assistant coach. He rooted for Xavier when Luke was there.

It’s cause his son is an assistant coach on UConn.

A bit harsh considering his son is a UConn assistant.

Found an NCAA.org document that has the following all time records for scoring runs.

Lead Before Division I Opponent Scores at Start of a Game:
32-0—UConn vs. New Hampshire, Dec. 12, 1990

Scoring Run vs. a Division I Opponent
39-0—Oklahoma vs. Weber St., Dec. 22, 2014 (led 10-4 with 13:23 left in the first half and run ended at 49-4 at 1:53

Amazing that the all time record is 39-0 scoring run, and that includes good P6 teams vs total chumps.
And this one got to 30-0 in an Elite 8 game.

Can't find the NCAA Tournament Scoring Record, but I suspect this 30-0 run is probably it.

 

[NineOneSeven]

This team is one of the most dominant teams ever. They’re winning these games by freaking 25!

 

[Eric15]

His son is Luke Murray, the UConn assistant coach. He rooted for Xavier when Luke was there.

Ugh. OK I’ll allow it. Reluctantly.

 

[orangenauburn]

His son is Luke Murray, the UConn assistant coach. He rooted for Xavier when Luke was there.

Luke is also believed to b the architect of their offense

Someone is going to make him rich after this tournament

 

[NineOneSeven]

I give Bama a chance if they can speed up the game and hit a butt ton of threes.

No way, and Clemson wins

 

[NKR1978]

This is insane… UConn is insanely dominant... Hope we get to see a Edey vs Clingane matchup.

That's the only hope of stopping uconn, but at this point one more championship doesn't really matter. I know this may be blasphemous, but would rather them than any Big 10 team.

I partially blame Cuse for UConn’s dominance. If we didn’t fall off so badly in northeastern recruiting, they likely wouldn’t be where they are.

True. Just like their first run after Cuse probation #1.
