    NCAA Tournament Final 4 Thread

    There is some website that streams all of the old tourney games and I cannot remember what it is called. I feel like I learned about it here.   Old games like, 2010, not old games like last week. Anyone know?

    He's 52? That's some facial care plan he's got.

    It's not confusing or weird when schools are in multiple power conferences depending on the sport.

    Coaching Carousel 2016

    Great move by OK state. He's by far my favorite young coach. Heartbreaking for a team who already was beaten down though.

    NCAA Tournament Final 4 Thread

    Amazingly, all 6 ACC teams could move into the Elite Eight and they have at least 1 team in each region after that. The big ten can only advance two to the Final four.

    (5) Indiana v. (1) UNC - Pregame Thread

    I wish I'd been tracking them since the beginning. It's so interesting how the percentages change each round. Our low projection is because UNC is in our way.

    Here's a cool one from ESPN's basketball power index [attachment=3736:ImageUploadedByBtownBanners1458671417.455767.jpg] [attachment=3737:ImageUploadedByBtownBanners1458671431.806834.jpg]

    Though, like all sports statistics, it has trouble with the smaller intangibles like match ups. It gave us only a ~20% chance of getting past Kentucky too. I think we had the highest chance of a 12-5 upset too.

    (5) Indiana v. (1) UNC - Pregame Thread

    UNC has an intelligent and basketball oriented fan base right? Why can't I find any posts like this on their forums or articles like on ITH for them? I see more posts about a potential rematch with Wisco than any matchup analysis from their perspective.

    (5) Indiana v. (1) UNC - Pregame Thread

    UNC plays at a higher tempo than we do but seems to run less. Troy will be huge this game, they have a ton of size but for the most part their defensive sets are ripe to be exploited by a player like Troy because once he beats one man he will have the space he needs to shoot under more control. UNC is also very deep which will help with stamina. Besides playing defense without fouling I hope to see good shot selection in general from us. UNC is exploitable on jump shots and can be forced to spread out if we are getting high percentage looks.

    Injury Updates- JW/ROJO/CH/OG

    Of all our opponents, I think we need RoJo most against UNC. Him not playing would make me very nervous.

    That's how you lose yourself a game.

    Seriously. That last call was just giving them the game.

    They've been terrible. The refs have been awful today, but those last three calls especially were crap.

    St. Joe's is running the worst offense possible and still getting buckets. Gotta respect that.

    You know what they say, never bet against Greg Gard in March.

    We've beaten them both once this year, we can do it again.

    If he gets there, then we'll show them why Gard shouldn't get it in the Elite Eight.

    Between these two games I'm dying out here.   Last few second shots everywhere.
