Wow, not sure about that call...

CLUTCH

Man, UNI just making stupid decisions.  Shot that ball with four seconds left!

Wow, did not expect either of these games to be so close.  Guess, I'm not waking up at 5 AM tomorrow to work out...

My goodness UNI

And I've never seen so much carrying of the ball.  This is crazy, you'd think palming would be called at least once in this game.  

Hield carrying OU at the moment. 

Oh, I was talking about SFA's offensive possessions.  They played one on one three straight possessions after having had great success with constant ball movement.     Regarding the foul, I'm guessing they called body contact, but who knows...the refs were all over the place this game.  

SFA blew that game.  Three really bad offensive possessions to close out the game.  

I'm guessing this has been posted at some point, somewhere in this thread, but doesn't it seem like there's A LOT of slipping and falling down in this tournament?  It's as if the finish on the floor is just slicker than normal.  Usually seems to happen outside of the paint and inside the 3pt line.  

Not sure if Nova is amazingly good, or if Iowa just gave up on the season. I mean, on defense, Iowa has been terrible

Juwans shoulder...

Why take so long to get max in???

Get troy out of this game

I know I'm late to the party, but I think Crean was/is hoping to utilize Troy in a fashion similar to how Oladipo played against Kentucky...which, needless to say, is not a good idea.

I'm impressed with Xavier. A really well coached team.

  Pretty sure you're trolling, but you baited me:  Izzo: 7 Final Fours.  1 NC.  9 Conference Titles  Crean: 1 Final Four. 0 NC.  3 Conference Titles    Anyways, I'm excited for the game tomorrow.  When this team plays to their potential they are damn fun to watch.  That's why the inconsistencies are so maddening.  I'm hoping we keep dancing for a long time.  

I think Yale can take em

They really need to stop reviewing the clock for potentially 0.2 extra seconds.  It gives the opposing team a free time out.  Completely unfair. 

You're right. I mis-read it haha. Yea, I'm guessing it's a typo. 

I believe the 44% is including 2 point FG% as well.

These refs have been quite bad in the Michigan game

I really wish he had mentioned defense somewhere in that statement....

  I agree, Indiana hasn't been a power for approximately the last 20+ years.  However, we USED to be one of the premier 3-5 teams in the nation.     It seems a percentage of the fan base is okay with lowering standards to what we've been as a program for the last 20 years.  If we say Sweet 16s and occasional Big Ten Titles is sufficient, then yea, Crean is our man.   If we want to compete for national titles then, personally, I think we need a new coach.  Crean's tournament record is atrocious and I'm not willing to drop my standards for IU as a program.  I'm 30, and my fondest memories are of the Cheaney and Henderson years.  And that was  a fantastic era of IU ball despite not winning a title (Could have won two actually, assuming Valentine doesn't job us against Duke, and Henderson doesn't break his arm the following year).  Those were teams you KNEW would go far in the tournament.  Crean's teams are ones we HOPE will go far.     If Crean makes the Final Four this year then he will have changed my opinion of his coaching abilities.  If not.....   And yea, I know we have to run a gauntlet this year; but that's because we crapped the bed in Maui and the BTT.  If the expectation prior to this season was a FF4 or Elite Eight appearance (based on the talent of this team), then it should remain so.  No excuses.  

Not trying to troll, but if I had a young team needing experience, and if I actually knew they'd lose in the first four in the NCAA tourney via a crystal ball, I would absolutely take winning the nit. Added experience, more practice, more games.
