Sweet 16 Game Thread

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Congrats @JoePoulson and @absintheofmalaise and @wibi

Uh, you know that one of these is not like the other?

 

[JoePoulson]

Too much time!

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I have to say, it's amusing to see this thread vs. basketball twitter. Basketball twitter is in nearly universal agreement that the refs are bad, and the worst calls are hurting the Zags.

Btw.... I agree, the disparity in fouls is more because Arkansas is pressuring and making a lot of contact. Bad calls putting Gonzaga's best defender in foul trouble have a much larger negative impact.

It's a quality versus quantity issue!

It has been lopsided for Arkansas more recently though for sure.

???

Doh so sorry - mind fuck I’m very tired

 

[Ale Xander]

Muss used the week very well

 

[SoxFanInPdx]

These refs have been terrible for both teams. Honestly, Gonzaga has been underwhelming all tournament.

 

[Ale Xander]

I’d keep fouling and hope Arkansas misses 2 of the 3 1 and 1’s

 

[Cellar-Door]

What is Gonzaga doing?
Let them burn almost a full minute, then end up fouling anyway

 

[Ale Xander]

Just need 2

 

[chilidawg]

Arkansas getting every loose ball. So much tougher.

 

[Ale Xander]

JFC

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Arkansas is going to have two more one and ones.

Be weird if it was the free throw line that screws them.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Like, why do you need to review this?

 

[Cellar-Door]

Nembhard is absolutely garbage, but also dumb

 

[Ale Xander]

No question

just get 2 and foul and you’ll probably get a chance to tie

 

[wibi]

This is where I miss Tommy Lloyd

 

[Ale Xander]

They’re still reviewing this? For real?

 

[Ale Xander]

This is where I miss Tommy Lloyd

This is where I miss Suggs and Kispert

 

[canderson]

Ok go Tech. Want an old SWC rivalry game in the Elite 8!

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Sure looked to me like the Gonzaga player pushed the Razorback, resulting in that last OOB.

Probably works out with Timme missing.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Nembhard is absolutely garbage, but also dumb

You were saying?

 

[Ale Xander]

He goes 1-10 and makes THAT???

 

[Ale Xander]

Nembhard is absolutely garbage, but also dumb

Definitely dumb

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Jesus, another review...

 

[wibi]

He was going for the shooting foul

 

[JoePoulson]

I swear every opponent hits that late three to make it close against AR this year. Every single one.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

He was going for the shooting foul

If there was a foul, it wouldn't have been a shooting foul, I don't think.

 

[Ale Xander]

Wrong guy to foul

 

[JoePoulson]

Cash money

 

[Ale Xander]

Dumb you need a three

 

[canderson]

Pig controlled this entire game basically. Major kudos.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Jesus, why are you even getting near the shooter there? Let him shoot, by the time the ball gets near the rim, the game is over.

 

[shawnrbu]

How do you foul?

 

[JoePoulson]

I'm too old for this shit!

 

[JCizzle]

Big congrats to the Arkansas folks.

 

[tims4wins]

Better team won.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

What a great win! Woooo Pig Sooooie!
Thanks @canderson

 

[shawnrbu]

Best case scenario for Duke.

 

[JoePoulson]

Woooo fucking Pig Sooooiieee!! Mussiah!

 

[shawnrbu]

Duke will be in the double bonus with 14 minutes to go on Saturday.

 

[JoePoulson]

Best case scenario for Duke.

Lol Duke still gotta beat Tech.

 

[canderson]

Best case scenario for Duke.

Fuck that let’s get a SWC reunion.

 

[JCizzle]

In the ~5 minutes that I've been watching the Michigan game during commercials, they've missed more layups than I've ever seen

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Big congrats to the Arkansas folks.

Thanks.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Congrats Arkansas fans.

 

[JoePoulson]

Yes tell everyone Muss! Fuck the haters!

 

[SoxFanInPdx]

Congrats to the Arkansas fans in here. Well deserved. Musselman outcoached Few and this team just seemed more hungry.

 

[Ale Xander]

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Now to burn the final $10 for the last bracket contest I was alive in...

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Fuck that let’s get a SWC reunion.

I'm in for that.
