Non-IU NCAA TOURNAMENT GAMES

What a f’n game. 
 

People who hate post play in shambles as Timme scores about half of Gonzaga’s points.

He hit one like that earlier in the year to beat BYU

Some day, we'll be in a Sweet 16 game, oscillating between thinking we're going to win and thinking we're going to lose a handful of times in the final minutes. 

 

Some day...

Damn near deeper than Suggs’ runner buzzer beater in 2021.

It’s March 2024. Kaleb Banks tipped out an offensive rebound, then X found him in the corner for a 3 to put IU up 66-57. Shaka Smart calls a timeout to stop the bleeding with 5:19 left in the round of 16. Marquette has no answer for Malik, who has 19 and 8 boards.

Elite 8 next year (not a prediction, just daydreaming). As you can see above, we’ll feel good down the stretch in the round of 16. Going down to the wire in the E8 with, uhhh, the vision’s getting blurry

2 games tonight were 10/10s

1 game was a 9/10 FAU

UConn was a 10/10. Musselman getting worked and being forced to keep his shirt on……10/10.

I’ve never seen a Elite 8 live, so hopefully

as much as I hate to say it because of how far away they are adding UCLA might be pretty cool, brings a lot of history into the conference

Last Elite 8 game  I was at i saw a kids bone sticking out of his leg and heard his screams from my seat.    That was crazy and sitting next to Louisville fans barking like a dog the whole game kind a stunk as well.   Interesting game and atmosphere to be at as a neutral person

My big takeaways from the tournament have largely confirmed things we’ve repeated a lot:

1. You need 7-8 dudes. Dudes 8-10 have to be serviceable, or situationally useful (Durr-style big body for an Edey).

2. of those 7-8, you need a PG, a big, and then probably 4 of the others need to be some variety of switchy 6’4”-6’9” types with overlapping skills.

3. Someone needs to be able to play backup PG in a pinch, but that could be a Galloway-type. Someone needs to be able to play backup 5 in a pinch, but aside from the Durr/Edey situation above, sometimes that might be playing small with a Race, a Malik Hall/Joey Hauser front line, or similar.

4. IU has a PG, it has a big, it has a number of guys who fit that wing mold at various spots along the development curve, but it needs more in-between guys. Luckily that’s what they’ve been portaling and recruiting for.

My last Elite 8 was Kansas State vs. Loyola Chicago. It was an awesome atmosphere and the Loyola fans around us were fantastic from before tip to post game celebrations. I was really appreciative of how their fans treated and included the family in rooting/celebrating.

Excited to watch the all-out rebounding war in Houston Miami tonight. There will be casualties.

This tournament has been awesome. Just great games and I feel like each round keeps delivering. Last night only one of the favorites won. Not sure this happens in any other sport. I'm a huge NFL guy and that is always #1 but college hoops this time of the year is awesome. Should be some good basketball the rest of the way.

So apparently the argument between Nowell and Tang may have been staged to catch MSU off guard

Hell of a defensive 1st half by SDSU.

At this point there may not be anything more inevitable in sports than Gene Steratore supporting an official’s call. 

[Alford Bailey]

I could really care less what Steratore thinks.

[Alford Bailey]

SDSU is athletic enough to stay with Bama
