Sweet 16 Game Thread

[BoulderSooner]

Yeah, in large part due to the overseeding. Easier pathways. It is impressive no doubt. Few is a good coach. But saw them 1 year struggle with a 16 seed when they were the 1. I expected them to be the OG 1 seed to lose to a 16.

I just can't be convinced that they are any good when the largest body of work for them is the WCC all year.. dominating the San Fran Dons in 2020s doesn't impress me in the slightest (now the rankers are trying to prop up St Marys every year too to help prop up gonzaga..).

so you must feel even stronger about houston who plays in a much weaker league ..

and the WCC was a better league then the Pac 12 this season fyi

Gonzaga is the UNLV for this generation of college basketball fans. Eight straight Sweet 16s is no joke......most we've ever had is three: '87-89.

F'n Rick Fox.

yep they are very legit

nice come back by SDSU i thought this one was close to over

 

[BoulderSooner]

Meh. I hear what you're saying, just not buying it personally. I think theyd be like 5th-6th in big 12, at best, most years

only Ku would have more 1st round picks in the big 12 over the last 10 years compared to the zags

ku 9 gonzaga 8 ..

and only 3 of the zags were freshman 5 for KU

meaning the zags are also usually old ..

they would not be 5th or 6th at best most years ..

Don’t look now but SDSU is taking it to Alabama

 

[WTSooner]

Bama and Houston both about to lose tonight. Crazy times.

 

[NickZepp]

No one seeds by the Elite 8. When's the last time that happened?

yep my bracket is busted ..

SDSU did what the Bama coach and administration refused to do. Put a stop to Bama.

Texas is going to win a national title. That’s freaking horrible. If that happens, I’m never watching college basketball again. Vomit.

Texas is going to win a national title.

Talk about overly dramatic. I'll bet you they don't. How much are you willing to wager?

Kinda like KU last year.

 

[NickZepp]

If Xavier wins tonight there will be no 1s or 2s in the Elite 8. I'm pretty sure no one seeds in the Elite 8 has never happened.

 

[WTSooner]

No one seeds by the Elite 8. When's the last time that happened?

It’s never happened until now.

 

[BoulderSooner]

It’s never happened until now.

and last time no 1's in the final 4 was 2011

 

[WTSooner]

I said at the beginning of the tournament that I thought this was one of the weakest groups of 1 seeds I could remember. Feeling pretty vindicated right now.

 

[mict085]

Talk about overly dramatic. I'll bet you they don't. How much are you willing to wager?

I was exaggerating on purpose. Not about the vomiting cuz that will happen if they win it all. It’s been a terrible sports year.

 

[BoulderSooner]

i actually have Princeton in a bracket give away .. only 2 wins away from a prize .. lol

 

[NickZepp]

So if there's no 1s or 2s left after tonight this is the craziest tournament ever.
