NCAA Sweet Sixteen Games for March 24

[Day2]

AZ must have peaked a little early. Not impressed with them at all over last two games.

Most annoying team I’ve seen in years.

Yeah not gonna miss some of those smug faces.

 

[Alsacs]

I like Houston to beat Villanova and Duke w/refs to beat Arkansas.

 

[Alsacs]

I think the Final Four will be
Purdue vs. Duke and Houston vs. Kansas

Purdue over Kansas for the title.

 

[AZOrange]

I mean AZ didn’t play well but that’s bull yo give Houston a home game like that

“The kids asked to go back to man to man, so I said yes”

[hoopsupstate]

I said two weeks ago that this is the weakest one seeds in a long time. They are proving it with their play. I hope a Providence knocks off Kansas.

 

[bpo57]

Two best teams left are playing each other on Saturday- Nova v HOU

 

[PoppyHart]

That was a cool moment after the game with Roach and his dad, Papa Roach

 

[SWC75]

My sheet was a scintillating 0 for 4 tonight. 31-21 on the tournament. If Kansas goes down the tournament will have been decapitated. Robespierre would love it.

 

[jncuse]

Houston didn't play a particularly tough schedule... it was actually a pretty barren conference schedule... and lost their only 4 Q1 games before the AAC final. The 4 seed was appropriate even though Efficiency Systems though they were much better

But unlike other mid schools who have struggled with the "schedule jump" in the NCAA tourney, Houston has thrived in the tournament the last 3 years. Have to think the ability to succeed has a lot to do with their playing style.

 

[SWC75]

I think K looks like Dracula

Then you wouldn't be able to see him on your TV screen.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Wow they’re really pushing this narrative of Duke underdogs

 

[STEVEHOLT]

That was a cool moment after the game with Roach and his dad, Papa Roach

And his uncle Max

Duke and Houston agreed

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Rex Chapman is soooooo slow in his delivery … I feel like he’s teaching Sunday school

 

[Sherman20]

I have to say I’m pulling for Duke. Coach K is the story of the tournament. His team is getting better and better, especially during crunch time. Roach has been clutch.

I gotta admit I rooted for Duke too. I usually don’t and I hate their fans. But I want schools in our conference to do well, I don’t hate Duke or K as much as other people do, and I will never root for a P5 school in Texas and most of the south. Also I kind of loathe all these Johnny Come Lately programs like Texas Tech and Alabama, especially when we’ve been going in the opposite direction the past few years. At least Arkansas has a rich basketball history. I always loved those Nolan Richardson 40 minutes of hell teams (though Cuse shoulda beat them in 95!).

 

[Trueblue25]

Arkansas will go to the final four. Imo they’re our Dion Waiters team that lost to OSU

Intensity travels. Whoa! I just made that up but I think it’s true and I’m kinda excited I created the phrase.

Do we go to OttoinGrotto for catch phrase approval? I wish HOFCeluck was around, he’d know.

 

[Orangezoo]

I like Houston to beat Villanova and Duke w/refs to beat Arkansas.

I don't think they beat Nova. Nova excels at small ball and getting to loose balls.Also, they have a team full of guys who attack off the bounce but also share it well. It's probably the worst matchup for Houston they could have got given their playing style and system alone isn't going to be an advantage.

Who?

 

[CuseFaninVT]

So effectively we are all just a bunch of stalkers when you think about it then...
