NCAA Sweet Sixteen Games Thread for Fri Mar 27

I hate Duke but I hate that slimy, sleazeball Pitino more. Raf is a cyborg, he sounds the same today as he did in the 80s, 90s, 2000s.

Yeah Raftery is fine. I'm not a big fan of three in the booth though Eagle makes it work cuz he's that good.

Did Raf have Evans confused with Brown or something earlier in the game? I couldn't figure out why he kept mentioning Syracuse and Evans.

interesting nugget on the Westwood One broadcast. Scheyer is trying to win a NC as a player and coach. The guy did not list the others. Without looking it up, I am guessing Bobby Knight, Kevin Ollie and John Wooden (I think he won a Helms Championship in the 1920s with Purdue, the equivalent then of a NC). Anybody got any other guesses? Gerry could do it!

Speaking of Wooden, one of the sideline reporters was referencing some coaching records and referred to him as one of the greatest coaches in NCAA history. Uh ya think? Ten titles in 12 years and the other two years were 1974 when they lost in the National Semifinal to NC State in double OT and in 1966 when Texas Western won as Alcindor had to sit out that year as freshmen were ineligible.

This UM Bama game is like an EYBL game…. It’s not even fun to watch

 

[Ghost]

Good sequence for Duke.

 

[CooperCuse]

Boozer playing well.

 

[Ghost]

Good sequence for St Johns lol

 

[Bill Orange]

Hey Nate, Liberace called. He wants his jacket back.

 

[Newhouser]

It's 8 against 5 a lot of times.

Wasn't it 9 fouls for each team?

 

[RyanCuse44]

Funny how Duke doesn't like when other teams are physical with them. I hope St. Johns keeps taking it to them.

 

[RyanCuse44]

More homer calls. 57-51. Boozer sets an illegal pick, Foster clears off, and then gets the foul call on St. Johns...simply amazing.

 

[cuseattle]

The St John's run reminds me of that 2nd half Pittino's Louisville team put on us in that Big East tourney game, but Duke's showing some fight.

 

[CooperCuse]

If Duke would guard against threes they might control this game.

 

[RyanCuse44]

Again #21 with a moving pick for Duke and St. Johns gets called for the foul...unbelievable.

 

[Newhouser]

The Little Boozer can't get by anyone. They need to move him off the ball.

Maybe he could see better if he shaved his one eye brow.

Um that was not a moving pick.

 

[CooperCuse]

That was a dumb flagrant.

 

[RyanCuse44]

Um that was not a moving pick.

Uh yeah. Watch his feet, he moved.

 

[cuseattle]

What a game!

 

[Cuseball]

What a game!

Awful play by brown just cost them 2 or 4

 

[kirbivore]

Boozer will be an NBA bust. That bully ball won’t work vs the grown azz men of the NBA

 

[RyanCuse44]

Don't understand why Prye from St. Johns isn't back in the game. He was killing it on both ends. An Autry move.

 

[kirbivore]

Disappointed St John’s didn’t do better vs the zone. Pitino tore up JBs zone for years

 

[RyanCuse44]

Boozer will be an NBA bust. That bully ball won’t work vs the grown azz men of the NBA

Plus he won't have the refs on his side.
