Saturday (3/18) Game Thread

He took 4 steps.

 

[DJnVa]

The best part was that they looked at it for precisely this reason and inexplicably came to the opposite conclusion.

I think they just huddled. No replay.

 

[Average Reds]

That did not work out the way Villanova had planned.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Since going up 7, Nova had 8 possessions. Five empty trips, two of four missed free throws, and one two point basket.

 

[DJnVa]

Brackets are busted.

Others more than mine so that's fun.

 

[wibi]

CHAOS BABY!!!!! (and thankfully it wasnt my guys first)

 

[Average Reds]

Good for the Badgers. They are an underrated team.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Nice time out, Jay.

 

[shawnrbu]

Jay Wright screwed up bad there. You can't call your final timeout before the miss.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

He took 4 steps.

Two of those steps were after what should have been called a jump ball.
There goes my bracket.

 

[MillarTime]

Fucking meltdown

 

[shawnrbu]

Four Sweet 16's in a row for Bucky.

 

[johnmd20]

Since going up 7, Nova had 8 possessions. Five empty trips, two of four missed free throws, and one two point basket.

A total collapse.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Probably a coronation for Duke at MSG now, with a massive "home" court advantage.

 

[Drocca]

Yep, Duke won big just now. Their path is completely clear now.

 

[DukeSox]

It's good to be Duke

 

[Greg29fan]

A Virginia-Wisconsin sweet 16 game would be the worst thing I've ever seen in my life

 

[wibi]

And here we go

This win gives Few 500 wins for his career and makes BigShem the winningest player in NCAA history

 

[BigSoxFan]

It's good to be Duke

Duke was going to smoke Nova anyways.

 

[bankshot1]

tough day for the Catholic schools.

Zagsnext?

 

[RedOctober3829]

Turns out Nova couldn't stop Hayes and Brown inside. Koenig was nails too.

Hoping Duke loses too so MSG ticket prices will drop.

 

[DJnVa]

A Virginia-Wisconsin sweet 16 game would be the worst thing I've ever seen in my life

There is an Iowa St./Purdue game later.

 

[wibi]

NW not collapsing down in the zone on Gonzaga's bigs ... interesting idea

 

[wibi]

Matthews is such a good basketball player and yet isnt even a top 3 guy on the team

EDIT: But he has to hit FTs

 

[BigSoxFan]

If NW keeps this within 15, I'll be impressed

 

[wibi]

Gonzaga pulled away with Collins and Tillie on the floor ... Time to sit Karnowski and go back to those two

 

[Clears Cleaver]

tough day for the Catholic schools.

Zagsnext?

Northwestern is non-competitive

 

[wibi]

 

[wibi]

LAY IT IN COLLINS

 

[Kliq]

Karnowski is my favorite player in college basketball, like a Polish Shaq.

I think it was Mark Titus who said that if he played 25 years ago he would be a Top 5 pick but the way the NBA is going he might not even play in the league; which is our loss.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

So Gonzaga might be really good this year

 

[Kliq]

Hey mom! It's a Tuba!

 

[bankshot1]

Northwestern is non-competitive

It was a joke.

Our Lady and then Nova blew-up.

I thought we had a holy trifecta going

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Florida State is really big.

 

[wibi]

So Gonzaga might be really good this year

Offensively they arent any better than most of their other teams but defensively they are the best team I have seen since I started watching them in 1997

 

[Ale Xander]

Josh Hart is pretty good

Overrated

 

[Ale Xander]

Clear path!

Unabated to the sideline

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Offensively they arent any better than most of their other teams but defensively they are the best team I have seen since I started watching them in 1997

They've been smothering so far. Northwestern isn't that bad.

 

[Ale Xander]

Yep, Duke won big just now. Their path is completely clear now.

And it's not even the West bracket like usual

 

[wibi]

They've been smothering so far. Northwestern isn't that bad.

That is the biggest difference between the team this year and previous years Gonzaga teams. They basically can play any of their players (except Karnowski) man up on almost anyone

 

[wibi]

What is up with X v FSU? 10 points lead for X at half?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

What is up with X v FSU? 10 points lead for X at half?

Xavier's zone has been great

 

[shawnrbu]

Crying Northwestern kid dropping F Bombs.

 

[wibi]

NU making the run ... Time for Few to call a TO and get his kids head's back in the game

 

[Ale Xander]

Collins has McHaleesque qualities

 

[shawnrbu]

Can't believe Gonzaga is going to blow a 22 point lead.

 

[shawnrbu]

Collins pulled a Calipari circa 1992.

 

[Ale Xander]

What is up with X v FSU? 10 points lead for X at half?

ACC is top heavy, 3 deep

And I'm a fanboy of 93% of the conference

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Refs are definitely letting them play in the Gonzaga game. Half these guys would be fouled out if they were calling it tight.

 

[wibi]

This game is way tighter than it should be
