NCAA Sweet Sixteen Games for Thurs March 27

[W'boro'Cuse315]

Alabama is the best team in the CBB & have been all year.

 

[Jasoncuse]

Alabama plays a different sport than Syracuse. My goodness, they move and pass on one set more than we do in a whole game.

Just incredible shooting performance. Watching that makes me believe we will never be close to competing for titles again.

No they’re not. At times they forget to play defense. They have also been an inconsistent team shooting the three. They score a lot but give up a lot too. Giving up more than 80 points a game. There was a few games that Sears was sat down because he didn’t play defense and was turning the ball over. They look great tonight, but tonight is not how they always play.

Likely not with our current staff and their philosophy.

I’ve been losing my mind trying to figure out who the Florida coach looks like and he finally hit me… Young Sheldon.

We’ll see. They were my pick to win it all.

I would love to see Nova change their mind. Maryland and Willard deserve each other.

 

[bpo57]

Gators with 20ish TOs and still up 18 over MD.

 

[hoopsupstate]

We’ll see. They were my pick to win it all.

Sears makes ten threes tonight, but was 5-35 coming into the game. He’s not making ten threes if they play Duke. The Duke big guys will also limit their inside game. If they shoot like tonight they might win. I doubt it happens again. If you play percentages, they probably won’t make ten the next game.

They won't score 113 vs Duke, but it's going to be fun watching.

They’ve made 382 3’s in 36 games. It’s the exact same way Jay Wright won a gazillion games.

Sears isn’t the only player that shoots them.

 

[jncuse]

Let's go WIldcats - what we don't need is a 3 SEC / Duke FInal 4.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Apparently Flagg is allowed to take as many steps as he would like.

 

[bpo57]

I'm looking for the quattro formaggi - Bama, Auburn, Tennessee and then Florida to cut down the nets.

 

[cuseattle]

These late games are much better than the earlies.
Maliq looks good.

 

[longtimefan]

Flagg is pretty good.

 

[swish7]

This years tournament is quite boring. 90% of the games are blowouts. No major upsets. Lame.

 

[Cstate]

Flagg is pretty good.

And to think, he played half of this year as a 17 year old!

 

[ROCcuse]

Wouldn't that be nice to have substitutions based on performance.

 

[Jasoncuse]

Calipari is going to be especially annoying if they beat Florida

 

[Jasoncuse]

Duke not getting called for a hook and hold flagrant there is absurd.

 

[jncuse]

Games have not been close tonight, and the 4 winners being SEC + Duke is a little stomach churning.

But the level of play (offensively) and the pace has been pretty good.
The 4 games will average somewhere between 170-175 points, which is probably the highest for a 4 game set of sweet 16 games in a long time.

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

Duke vs ‘Bama will be the game of the tourney. I can’t wait to watch Duke play at that pace. Maluach vs Omoruyi. Flagg vs Nelson. Proctor vs Sears.

College basketball is rapidly becoming a haves and have not situation. those that have will be extremely good teams, similar to teams of bygone eras when players stayed multiple years. the have nots will be unwatchable.

i have no idea how they went one way on the call against AZ then the same exact play is cool enough when Puke does it.
