NCAA Tournament - Trimming Down The Elite Eight - Saturday Edition

Submitted by LSAClassOf2000 on

I'll start a thread for those paying attention to basketball as well as hockey - the advantage of having multiple devices / TVs / etc...

Anyhow, we're trimming down the Elite Eight beginning tonight, of course. Currently on CBS, Oklahoma is leading Oregon 59-44 with just under 15 minutes to go in the 2nd half. Later on, also on CBS, we'll have Villanova and Kansas in the other 1-2 battle.

I might be in the minority, but this game is underscoring the reason I always thought Oregon was the softest pick at #1 among the #1 seeds in this particular tournament. I just had this feeling - based on their play - that they would not make it to the Final Four and it seems now like they will not. That's fine, I picked this game on several brackets and had Oklahoma winning it.

Helluva game right here. Both teams fighting for everything. KU wasted a lot of shots early from the perimeter. But that Nova D is keeping them honest...

Does Nova recruit that well or are they all seniors? 

 

Seems like Nova is perenially top 10 but just underperforms come tourney time since the days of Scottie Reynolds 6-7 years ago.
