NCAA Elite Eight Games for Sat March 30

[Eric15]

A bit harsh considering his son is a UConn assistant.

He’s still a douche for domestic violence reasons, but rooting for his son is cool.

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

Its like they scouted our games when we started falling behind by double digits.
But then said, we can do it even better.

No way, and Clemson wins

I just started a relationship with a bama grad. Actually had to wear a bama T-shirt last week in Vegas. That was interesting. So I guess, Roll Tide? This isn't ideal for me. I really need us to be good again.

Nice give and go

 

[crv1728]

Illinois can win this.

This did not age well unfortunately.

Uconn gets guys that fit their system and work their asses off. We (Cuse) are trying to keep a player like Bell and aren't recruiting over him because he hits threes every couple games...

 

[Jasoncuse]

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

And they did the same thing last year. Insane.

 

[rrlbees]

This would be a tie game if it wasn’t for that 30-0 run.

You simply cannot beat UConn playing man to man defense. There offensive sets against man to man defense it too good Try a zone. Make them have to make shots and pass through the passing lanes to beat you.

Pretty much spot on

UConn has a great system, on both ends, with kids that fit perfectly and play great D. We may not even have a system on either end.

 

[albanycuse]

Uconn looks really good, they run sets and play an organized brand of basketball . Totally opposite of us this year lol.

Those 30-0 runs will get you every time.

[Jasoncuse]

At least Newton, Spencer (I think) and then hopefully Clingen and Castle will be gone next year.

But knowing UConn, all that can come back will, and they’ll 3-peat to become the greatest program of the past 50 years.

They didn’t look anything like this in Hurley’s first year. It has slowly revolved over time.

 

[jncuse]

Take away that short lapse by Illinois and they would be up 37-35.....

 

[Sherman20]

Ugh. OK I’ll allow it. Reluctantly.

I know, it sucks. If we hadn’t hired Red, Murray was on my list for under the radar hires, even though he’s only been an assistant. He’s the mastermind of this UConn offense and is gonna be a great head coach one day, and Bill Murray will be that team’s new super fan.

 

[swish7]

UConn plays ball

Pretty much everyone in College Basketball needs to work harder, coaches and players. UConn is on another level and will not be stopped unless another program steps up.

I hope there was a fair quid-pro-quo for you wearing a Bama shirt. And no I don’t want to know the details… but I am sure OttoinGrotto has a question for you that I also would like the answer to.

They will need a new roster. I assume they’ll still be good, but their starting 5 is gone.

Dang… replied to the wrong quote. Meant to reply to NKR1978

Does Illinois have the “Fighting” removed from their nickname after this?

The Illinois Complying Illini.

Bama or Clemson will be about 12 point dogs in the FF against UConn
