NCAA Sweet Sixteen Games for Thurs March 23

[Sherman20]

Timme travels every other time he gets the ball in the post. Moves his pivot foot all over the place.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

On what planet is that a flagrant foul ? You had access to the replay. Reviewed it. And made THAT call ? Blind.

 

[UpstateSM]

They showed the wrong replay on TV

Typical Barnes

Conference USA has
- Potential Elite 8 Team - Florida Atlantic
- Two teams in the NIT FInal Four - North Texas + UAB

But HRK told me that Florida Atlantic would not have deserved an at-large (if they lost in their conference tourney) since they did not go 20-0 in Conference USA, and that losses to North Texas and UAB were bad losses, and that those two teams could not win 6 games in the ACC.

Sometimes its not only about the name (and league) on your jersey.

So dirty

CBS is not great I guess

 

[UpstateSM]

Timme is a walking hoop

Tier 2 program.

12 Sweet 16's in the last 12 tournaments
2 National Final Games in the last 6 tournaments
4 Elite 8's in the last 8 tournaments

Sure looks like Tier 2.

But they only win games because they are in a bad conference.
And oh yes the Clemson loss at Louisville is not a bad loss right - because its an ACC game.
Do I have it all right?

 

[Day2]

12 Sweet 16's in the last 12 tournaments
2 National Final Games in the last 6 tournaments
4 Elite 8's in the last 8 tournaments

Sounds like Tier 2.

I don’t see any titles in there.

12 Sweet 16's in the last 12 tournaments

4 Elite 8's in the last 8 tournaments

Sounds like Tier 2.

And they don’t have 12 straight Sweet Sixteens.

 

[jncuse]

I don’t see any titles in there.

Oh wow, they must really suck then,

 

[Day2]

Oh wow, they must really suck then,

Does everyone below Tier 2 suck?

 

[Sherman20]

I sick of Gonzaga and Timme. I rooted for them the year they had that dominant team with Suggs and played Baylor, but Timme annoys me now. Pulling for UCLA in this one. I really love watching Jaquez play. They create turnovers like we used to.

 

[Sherman20]

I respect Mick Cronin’s suit game.

Mad respect. I wish most coaches hadn’t reverted to wearing track suit pajama ensembles to games.

 

[PoppyHart]

Davis on FAU would be a great portal get for Red.

We’re going to wind up with more guards than the Padres have shortstops.

Right its 8 sweet 16's in a row. College basketball reference had them in the "Lost in Third Round" in 2011-2014, when the NCAA tournament stupidly referred to the round of 32 as the third round. Thank god they got rid of that stupidity. Its almost as silly as someone justifying a loss at Louisville as just an ACC conference game and not a bad game.

So 8 Sweet 16's in a row
4 Elite 8's in that period
and 2 title games.

But no titles - so they are "Tier 2"

No titles, so they are NOT Tier 2.

BTW, in the 10 games they won to reach two title games, the best team they beat was 4-seed West Virginia.

Two SEC schools down. I’ll take it.

 

[cuseattle]

Zags all the way back. This got good

 

[Day2]

You were taking a jab at them. I called you out on it.

If Tier 2 is the group below the blue bloods (at least in modern times), then fine that is where they are at. And they have outperformed Duke and Kentucky since 2015.

If your best take is exaggeration, maybe sit this one out. They are not a Tier 2 program. Obviously doesn’t mean they suck.

 

[UpstateSM]

UCLA is slowly falling apart like they did in the Pac 12 title game against Zona

Jaquez is fun to watch
