Tide is Rolling. Kanon Catchings sighting.

Forgot about that guy.

Nate Oats paid off this official. Mostly kidding but…. This is beyond horrible. These guys should never work another tournament game again.

I want to see Florida play a complete game. I feel like half the game they play down to their opponents and then turn it up like the last 1/3 of the game. It’s almost like they toy

[Hoosier DaDa]

Bama going for a record

[cbp4iu]

Bama doing something I don’t know if will ever see again. We might see 25 made 3s

[LamarCheeks]

'Bama has made 22 3-pointers tonight -- and there's still 7-plus minutes to play. 

It would take us 5 games to make that many from distance.

Nate Oats going from being an HS coach to becoming one of the current top coaches amazes me. Alabama give him a chance and hit gold.

[Stuhoo]

Gillespie picks up his 4th with 14 minutes left in the game?

Game over.

When Willard only has one good guard, you can’t pull that guard.

[Hoosier DaDa]

Well, the first two games of the sweet 16 are very uncompetitive.

Great offensive coach no doubt. Very fun style to watch. I do question the defense at times, but they are up to top 29 def eff on Kenpom.

I still have trouble grasping that defensive rating when I see it. I feel like every time I've watched Alabama play they were never impressing anyone with their defense/points allowed.

It's points per possession, not points per game. Alabama is #1 in adjusted tempo. They give up a lot of points because teams get a lot of possessions.

Right, my brain just doesn't work that way and I've always felt those ratings can be deceiving. 81 points per game makes my skin crawl lol. Obviously, slow the game down, slow the scoring opportunities down. But Alabama will never slow down.

Bama with 25 made 3’s. 
Woodson be like, why?

Woodson watching Texas Tech shoot 2-11 from 3 and feeling much more connected to that brand of basketball.

Refs are getting paid by the whistle in this Duke-Arizona game. 

[HinnyHoosier]

Big swing to end the half for Duke.

I want us to have a Cooper Flagg someday :/

[cbp4iu]

Texas Tech looks terrible.
