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.

by Clem. Kansas is very beatable.

Yeah, he chokes his way to the Elite 8 for the third straight year and 5th time in 8 years. Without losing in the first round since 2006...
WVU hasn't impressed me yet
Horrible call
but WVU IS getting hosed.
Watching WVU jack up terrible shots makes me appreciate Beilein's offense even more.
Really want somebody to beat this team for us.
Whomever makes it out of the right side of the bracket -- other than Syracuse -- is going to be a really tough game. To me, Villanova is the team I'd most want to avoid, with Duke, Kansas, and Purdue all tied for second.

Second games are going to start an hour late. That's aggressive officiating.

Syracuse is probably going to get smoked, but GO ORANGE anyways.

When do you ever see refs int he NFL or NBA take over a game like they do in college? It doesn't happen... Sure, bad calls effect everyone at some point. But the total ref shows are limited to college. And it sucks.

has the potential to be hideous to watch. Two zone teams? Ugh.
March 23rd, 2018 at 10:14 PM ^
Not sure that Duke is going to be able to keep Cuse from getting those easy layups and slams down low. There's a lot of size on Cuse down there. Saying that, I don't think Cuse has an actual chance to win this game.

Why is Duke using a more subpar version of Syracuse's 2-3 zone again?

They need to protect Wendall Carter in the post (I think it's him) becuase he's a horrible man defender. I think Michigan's offense, with Wagner at the FT line and Simpson driving, would eat that zone for lunch. Yay, they're a top 10 defense, but how many 5-out offenses that run as smoothly as Michigan's, have they faced?
As I watch it, I wasn't overally impressed with Nova's defense. Kansas seems like a good team ripe to get beat down. And Duke's zone doesn't scare me.
Maybe I'm just filled with the bravado of shooting 62%?
March 23rd, 2018 at 10:22 PM ^
because Duke was over the back.
I hate Duke. Only team in America that doesn't called for that.
March 23rd, 2018 at 10:25 PM ^
March 23rd, 2018 at 10:28 PM ^
I want Duke to lose all the things all the time.
March 23rd, 2018 at 10:36 PM ^
Duke
March 23rd, 2018 at 11:10 PM ^
and I fully endose this sentiment

Let's go B1G.
