NCAA Tourney Thread: USC (ntUSC) Advances

That loss at South Carolina not so bad

How did the refs miss that travel on the long inbounds? Guy took like 5 steps.

is that watching florida and s carolina makes me think about how close UM was and how they certainly could have beaten either of those teams, as well as most others that remain. The only team I think may be head+shoulders above others is NC. ah well.

 

Kentucky vs North Carolina. Two dirty programs that don't deserve to be there. It pains me that one of them is going to be in the Final Four.

Every team left is top 20 in defensive efficiency on KenPom.  Gonzaga and South Carolina are 1-2.

We could play with any team in the nation including SoCar and Fla. While we just came up a bit short vs the Ducks, this Final Four thus far makes our loss a bit easier to swallow.

Have to be happy for fans of Gonzaga and SoCar to reach Final Four for first time. And Oregon basically reaching its first since pre WWII

Nothing to root against for any of these teams - that I know if. Sure beats a cheaters bracket of KU, NC, etc and the same old blue bloods like UCLA, Duke, etc

Interesting to know that 3 of the 4 teams going to the Final Four are going to their first Final Four. Of course, now this means that UNC or Kentucky are probably going to go out and win it all. Again.

Really hope that someone other than UNC/Kentucky wins. It's good for the sport if someone else has their shot.

I took communion in front of Frank Martin when he coached at K State in Manhattan, Kansas.

/cool story bro

 

I have UNC winning in the work pool but my other 3 FF spots are dead, so I'm not sitting great.  However, the lady has Kentucky in the Championship playing Gonzaga.  I'm on her bandwagon now.  I wants that money...I mean she does!!!

I hate injury replays. I cringe every time a TV network shows a joint move in a way it wasnt intended.

TV Ted calling a terrible block there.

On the court right now...ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER!!!

...gotta admit, this is a damn fun game to watch.

Is there a prop bet that each player will have 2 fouls by halftime? seems like something TV Teddy would be involved in.

This game is a terribly officiated one. Holy cow.

Oregon and SC make it. We didn't play our best game, give some credit to Oregon's D, but I feel like we could compete w anyone in the country. Would have been fun to see it play out. Looking forward to seeing the freshman arrive next fall!

How does TV Teddy keep getting picked for big games?  Don't they review and grade refs?

 

I know this is a basketball thread, but Masters commercial. I can't wait.

Ugly, ugly, ugly.

Jeebus, this is horrid. 

Just glanced at the stats. The two teams have combined to grab 52 rebounds in 24 minutes. Tells you something about their shooting prowess.

Both of these teams just seem like they have no offensive game plan

I see that Kentucky no longer has the big gumpy white dude that seems like he's in his 9th year of eligibility that does nothing but shoot 3s. 

May had pwnd Willis the past 2 possessions. Crap.

Good lort this shit is ugly. Nobody can shoot apparently so let's go to the hoop and draw shit fouls and make the refs call something 'cuz that's just what they do. Oh and hey sometimes our big hosses grab some ORebs and bail us out. I get these teams have exceptional talent but gawd it's not being utilized...other than said big-men doing work.

Hunphries is MVP...of all people. Also...I'll just keep talking to myself, it's alright I don't mind.
