both teams play a similar tempo, one that suits us, and we will brutally out-execute either one.
I was worried about how much quicker URI looked earlier but no, they aren't anything special compared to Oregon. We shoot better than we did today and we'll run them out of the building.
Baylor has let USC come back from another double-digit deficit. I'm over the whole "Pac-12" basketball power BS. Though Coach Andy looks pretty fuh-reel at USC.
is delivering some better games than round 1. Thurs and Fri were very blah outside of 12-2:30 Friday afternoon.
he'll have another "game of his life" next week, so go Rams!
was a fun movie!
Officiating at the ends of games...
lousy officiating strikes again. Totally a block call on Brooks then he travelled.
What the fuck is RI doing?
Oregon seems like a bunch of pricks. I hope we dominate them
May be the worst effort I've ever seen at an end of a game. Down 3 with 25 seconds and that's what you all do?
Both Arkansas and URI collapsed at the end. The moment was too big for them.
it'll be fun to beat them.
On the positive side, Oregon will have our attention and focus. That's when we are at our best.
Oregon got gift after gift.
Their luck factor on Kempom is 4th highest among remaining teams. Must mean their luck is about to run out.
They get away with more bumps and trips than the rest of D1.
I know sometimes we have bad possessions, but so many teams just do not have a plan.

Wow, what a day of games. I never saw a tournament where teams have had to work so hard to make it into the Sweet Sixteen. And the teams know it. Their locker room celebrations all look like they just made it into the Final Four.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:15 PM ^
making it a game. They'd be winning if they could hit a couple shots.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:44 PM ^
...they wouldn't be a #7 seed.
They remind me of some Cincinnati teams of the past.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:16 PM ^
are totally pulling for Cocky.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:27 PM ^
It's in South Carolina, it's mostly South Carolina fans.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:36 PM ^
them dancing at the last TV break? UNC fans are loving this.
March 19th, 2017 at 11:01 PM ^
March 19th, 2017 at 10:17 PM ^
...that Steve Alford gets the Indiana job?
Please make that happen. I don't think any coach in the country does less with more.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:25 PM ^
yes. At small schools, he got a lot out of his talent.
But you don't leave UCLA, even for your alma mater. I'd be surprised.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:33 PM ^
He had four good years as a D3 coach, I'll grant you that.
Maybe it makes some sense, now that I think about it. The common thread I heard from Iowa people when he was there was that he "seemed to have some trouble relating to players from urban environments." (That quote was from our in-house counsel, who was an Iowa alum and was pretty careful with his words.)
It would not go well at IU and I'm really looking forward to it.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:37 PM ^
I distinctly remember the schadenfreude from BHGP when his New Mexico team got upset as a 3. They hate him.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:42 PM ^
at SouthDirectional Missouri State too.
That comment is interesting given the talent he played with at IU and recruited to UCLA. Not saying it isn't true or warranted, just surprising.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:30 PM ^
I mean... Tom Crean.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:19 PM ^
looks like the love child of Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington and Vinny Babarino.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:25 PM ^
Allen gets te and one by kicking out his leg.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:35 PM ^
South Carolina is a really tough team.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:44 PM ^
carried the ball twice on that drive. He should be out of the game for his shove earlier.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:44 PM ^
Late night possibly getting my bracket getting all effed up
March 19th, 2017 at 10:45 PM ^
Does Coach K specifically recruit tools? Kennard, shut up.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:48 PM ^
wide issue.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:53 PM ^
I saw a lot of Kennard in high school; the personality comments down here were always favorable.
Maybe it's something that happens to you after you get to campus.
March 19th, 2017 at 10:49 PM ^
Don't over coach, Frank Martin!
March 19th, 2017 at 10:58 PM ^
Yet another garbage call. Kennard should be gone.
March 19th, 2017 at 11:00 PM ^
Another charge is called a block.
March 19th, 2017 at 11:00 PM ^
feeling the full Duke in the ear.
March 19th, 2017 at 11:01 PM ^
But should have gotten the T
March 19th, 2017 at 11:03 PM ^
And now some shitty makeup calls. This is terrible.
March 19th, 2017 at 11:03 PM ^
guy I'm gonna hate next like the one player on every Duke team since Danny Ferry.
March 19th, 2017 at 11:04 PM ^
March 19th, 2017 at 11:05 PM ^
Watch SCar miss FTs and Duke rain 3s for the W.
March 19th, 2017 at 11:09 PM ^
understand why you don't make them pick up the ball on the inbound.
March 19th, 2017 at 11:11 PM ^
March 19th, 2017 at 11:13 PM ^
let Duke roll the ball all the way up the court. Saved 5-10 seconds. Duke hits a 3 here and it gets tight.
