NCAA S16 Open Thread
Clemson - Kansas
West Virginia - Villanova
Syracuse - Duke
Texas Tech - Purdue
This has the potential to be 4 very good games. I'm rooting for the B1G and chaos. Enjoy.
Especially when you know Beilein has never had a problem beating a press to a pulp.
Feels like Nova is playing poorly on offense and they're at 44 points and I think something like 1.29 PPP
I feel like UM would fare much better against WVU than Villanova. That's probably true for most teams, but moreso given the "athletic", high possession style WVU plays
Nova is the mirror match but their season long three point average is higher than ours.
yep, the second Purdue game this year comes to mind as a possibility
Clemson is done. Kansas looks pretty good
I dunno, man... Azimbuike looks like a petrifying animal!
That would be an awesome matchup
At how many bottles of wine per person in an evening is it "too much"?
Aksing for a friend...
sheesh!
but the rule of thumb is that up to 40% of a bottle of red is good for your health. beyond that, you're overdoing it.

And am now very glad I asked.

but his workout video is magical.
His emoting over Grayson Allen makes me want to puke. And to this day he disses the Fab 5. Part of me wants to see the chess game of him and JB in the finals. The rest of me wants their bus to crash on the way to Omaha and they get run by Cuse.
I was largely unimpressed, but here they sit with a legit shot to put 3 teams in the final four.
4 on Graham.
Of the 4 playing right now, I'd rank them like so:
1. Kansas
2. Nova
3. WVU
4. Clemson
If we play each team twice at neutral courts, I say we'd go 6-2. 4-0 vs WVU & Clemson, 1-1 vs Nova and Kansas.
If Clemson can get the deficit to under 10 before the 5 minute mark.
it seems only Nova could survive a very disciplined opponent. Kansas is transition and pace, weak offensive sets (Self), Clem doesn't have an offense, WVU is all press and transition.
3 fouls on Brunson, so Nova might be in trouble, but the refs are calling everything against WVU. 7-1 in fouls in the 2nd half - ridiculous.
cuts it to 9. A stop here and bucket it gets tight...
Nova is going to keep it close by shooting FTs. Thanks, refs...
CUTS IT TO 6.
We have a game again.
Clemson just scored 5 points and knocked it down to a 6 pt game with 2:20 left...
Look out now, we have a game. Kansas literally handing Clemson 2 points right off the inbounds pass. Clemson down 6 with 2:27 left.
Crappy 3-pt shot. Horrible look looks desperate.
Clemson just gave the game awy with that crappy shot and the foul on the rebound. Now Kansas is up 7 with 1:19 left...
Welcome to the E8, Kansas... The parade to the FT line has begun.
Off poor screens, and from distance. That's not a great recipe for a comeback. Buzzer beaters, yes, comebacks, notsomuch. Kansas up 9 a minute left.
I wish Jalen Brunson went to Michigan, I don't watch him often, but everytime I see him play I'm always impressed.
For 2, cutting Kansas lead to 5 with only 19.4 left on the clokc. Timeout.
West Virginia's lead is gone and Nova leads by 5 with 8:59 left in the 2nd.
on Clemson. 4 point game.
I'd take WVU, Syracuse, Purdue, or Texas Tech over Duke, Kansas, and Nova.
