NCAA tourney thread

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,662]

What are the upsets this time around? LSU over MSU? UT over Purdue? VT over Duke? Aside from VT, I think we’d be the biggest upset I can think of

If we wind up in Elite 8 with Houston,  how do you think we match up with them?  I would think the style would be favorable to us compared to UK.

All I know is Houston will clamp you up like lockjaw. They’re a problem defensively, but literally anything is preferable to us playing UK again, although they look suspect without Washington

I think it would be a great game. Houston is a really balanced team.

I watched last half of the Houston-Ohio State game and thought Houston played extremely well. With that said, I don’t like the famaliarity that Kentucky has on us. Coach Self basically said our tape doesn’t do our quickness any justice and it left them reeling. Sure we are familiar with Kentucky as well but by default, when all other things are equal, I think the team with the superior athletes hold edge.

Oregon over Virginia

If we manage to beat Kansas and UNC, bring on Kentucky, Viriginia, and Duke.  Don't want Houston.

houston was kind of a shock to me being as good as they are...they be pretty good

[AURex 1,994]

After a previous round with pretty much only the teams moving forward that were expected to move forward, there could be a couple of upsets in the sweet 16. Upsets I'm looking forward to --

Florida State over Gonzaga
Texas Tech over Michigan

I don't see Houston taking out Kentucky and don't want it to happen. Slimy "Sump Dump" Sumlin should not coaching anywhere, anytime.

Of course, if Auburn could upset UNC, that would take the prize for this tourney.

Just realized that my dislike for FSU football has spread to basketball. Didn't know I cared who won until I turned the game on. It became clear immediately.

Cmon Purdue!!

[AU64 10,122]

UT is 4/13 from foul line....looking generally bad....gonna lose this game unless something really changes during halftime..

[djg0017 726]

Purdue just needs to drive at Grant Williams. 2 fouls and is already an overrated defender

[AU64 10,122]

Is Purdue really this good?     3 seed but I usually consider the Big Ten as over-rated...but that are abusing UT

No idea if it's Purdue or TN just not defending well but holy crap if I'm anyone else, I do NOT want to face Purdue right now. They are shooting lights out.

Seems like the only one playing well for UT is Cole's cousin. I've gotta root for them since half my family are UT fans. GBO!

Not sure but it doesn't hurt having Drago for a center.

I think UT was just overhyped all year

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Turner just doing what Turner does and playing amazing defense and keeping TN in the game. 

[AU64 10,122]

Whenever UT challenges...Purdue seems to retaliate......down to 9 and back up to 14 in a heartbeat

 

[djg0017 726]

Purdue, don’t take your foot off the gas when you’re the better team
