HoosierAloha

Hawaii might have to pull some players out of the stands to finish the first half lol

  Up until yesterday it also appeared we looked a lot looser than the 2012-2013 team.  That team looked like it had the entire Hoosier Nation on their backs.  This team played free until Friday.  Hopefully they find that team again soon.

  That call was great for no other reason than TB got a block from his chest.  Kam Chatman also did a little shuffle which was pretty funny too.  It's so IU in the BTT though.   Link

I'm surprised KU didn't just get beat earlier in the tourney so they could rest up.  Playing against press Virginia for 40 minutes wore them out after their third game in three days.  Look for them to go out early in the real tourney..  (only kidding again, calm down)

Lunardi's #1 seed:  Kansas, MSU, UNC, Virginia, Duke, Kensucky, Texas A&M   Did I miss any?  I'm only kidding don't overreact.

Big play after big play!  This is great.

Are there two 4 seeds ahead of us that could bump us to the East region IF Nova ends up the one seed there?  I wouldn't mind that draw but I'm guessing we would end up with Virginia as the 1 seed. 

Who do you have winning in the quarterfinals tomorrow?  Why?   Btown Banners went 1-1 in the semifinals. 

1-1 in the semifinals although I think a bit of hate for little brother had something to do with it.   Onto the finals!

  Didn't Yogi just hit a huge shot about 10 days ago to win the B1G regular season championship?  OG had 2 TOs heading into that final offensive possession.  He had also just came off a knockdown shooter to give up the three to tie the game.  OG is going to be a damn good player at IU but still makes frosh mistakes.  Troy forces plays when they're not there hurting the flow of the offense and turning it over.  TB also had a missed freethrow in crunch time.  You miss shots sometimes but you can't get beat by beating yourself.  We do that too often by committing dumb turnovers and missing defensive assignments.  If IU plays their game under control and plays smart they are hard to beat.

  MSU can play and excel in several different styles.  That's one reason they can slow down and still beat a Wiscy or pu style slug it out game.  They can also push the pace and beat more uptempo teams like IU.  They want to get out in transition but have the ability to disrupt on defense to start their transition when teams sellout to stop it.  They punish you on the boards, they share the ball, and typically don't turn it over and are smart.  When they don't play smart and as a team they hear about it from an HOF coach.

MSU pulled off the ol pick and smash.  Deyonta Davis picked Melo while Valentine slung the ball across the court to Forbes.  The pass was a little off target and and Melo caught it with his face. 

If Narn is hitting from outside...

  I would rather play Arizona or Iowa State (of the 5 seeds).  Cal is a big, athletic team that excels on defense.  They can get a bit loose with their shot selection and run at times though.

Texas A&M took LSU behind the woodshed and put them down.  Their backups just drained three 3s in a row without LSU scoring.  Ouch

Who do you have winning in the quarterfinals tomorrow?  Why?   Btown Banners went 3-1 in the quarterfinals.  That one really hurt though.

Another crazy day of games!

Gotta make your freebies!  Cal's not out of it

  I think so.  It's only 9:32 out here though.  lol

Poeltl just went over his own players back to get that rebound.  haha

No idea how he got the and 1 on that end but the Utah player didn't on the other end.  The foul was on the rebound...  It just wasn't called until he turned to shoot it.

Crazy finish again.  I love this college basketball thing!

  I believe they lost both games to the beach but beat Irvine in both games.  I remember Faust of LBSU lit them up in the home game.  he went unconscious hitting some really tough shots.

Good finish coming up on the U too.  UC Irvin on a run to get within 2.  A Hawaii-Long Beach State final would be a great game though.

Utah's cheerleaders are on point!
