Just feels like TT is one of those teams that has everything go its way in a dominant S16 performance.....and then will lose by 20 in the Elite 8.

Back to back Elite 8s, best defensive team in the country. This isnt some sort of fluke. Michigan was really bad on offense all season, but had a top 5 defense themselves. But that side of the ball went dormant when they got deflated from empty possessions.

Gonzaga is the most efficient offense in the nation, so talk about contrasting styles on Saturday.

I think edwards was fouled, but I am stunned it was called. It was not a blatant hack on the arm or something. A little hip check on the fly by which isn’t always called with 15 minutes to go.

Exactly...see Duke v UCF to start...

Excited for the UNC/Auburn game. I expect it to be a great game but it might be the worst of the evening too. Houston/UK intrigues me too.

I’ll go UNC 84-79 and UK 70-67

Va Tech not interested in scoring under 100

Duke is playing good and losing.

I need a better view that the ball actually was on the line. They added time but VT player acted like there was .03 and not 1.1

Hill, what are you doing? What a play call, and Hill just dropped it instead of shooting it lol.

Houston better win in regulation as a second key player has fouled out

Edit: lead gone as I type lol

  • Duke - Michigan State
  • Kentucky - Auburn
  • Virginia - Purdue
  • Gonzaga - Texas Tech

I think I was more excited for the match-ups yesterday and today (Duke - MSU aside), so naturally we should get some great games this weekend.

Gonzaga game should be good.  Texas Tech has the best defense in the country.

Damn, I wanted a Duke - Gonzaga Final Four. I guess now MSU is an easy underdog to cheer for! 

Now need Virginia and Auburn to keep my two most hated teams out.

The way that game was going, not sure it would’ve mattered, but how can you miss a player THAT far out of bounds? Last nights VT toe on line is acceptable in a sense. This was just flat bad.
