[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Thank you Vols.  I don't have them winning it all, but I did have them winning today and against PUke.

What’s the story? Why did he sit so long?

They kept saying he had 4 fouls, but I see no good reason for him not to be in coming out of a timeout with the ball with 15 seconds left. 

Didn’t matter in the end obviously.

I like how they kept talking about puke and KU being short handed with their injuries and players leaving the team. They forgot to mention that’s the problem you get when having to manage your salary cap the way they do.

Watching the second round games, something that really sticks out to me is our shooting. We really have to get better from outside. pu, Auburn, Tenn (1st half), and many others are light years ahead of us from deep.

I doubt we are ever are great at it. Just need to get in that 35% range so it’s not a terrible weakness.

Glad UT won, but that second half doesn't give me a lot of confidence that they'll beat Purdue.

Read this afternoon that Jalen Adaway is transferring from Miami (OH).  6'5" Sophomore wing from Logansport who started 15 games this season for the Redhawks.  KenPom has him at a 111 ORTG (very good) with a very solid eFG (54.0) & low turnover rate this season.  Not sure he is a B1G contributor, but a name to watch this offseason.

Just got to hope Edwards starts chucking like he did in the BTT

Jump out of the gym athlete. Jumper needed work coming out of high school haven’t seen him much at Miami to see if it improved. Very good defender. Not sure if he is Big Ten caliber though.

It’s crazy the percentage other teams hit open 3s. If we could have hit just half of those open attempts IU is dancing.

Lot of personal baggage coming out of high school.  Don't know if he's cleaned up his act or not.

None of these refs want to be the ref that gives Zion his second early in the first half. They’re making up for it on the other end by not calling fouls on his defender.

Tacko Fall over the back every board but won’t get called because “he’s tall”

Another call college refs get wrong too often. With the relatively new cylinder foul, why can’t they get this right?

Can’t be over the back when a person is 7’6” lol

Duke may very well get to the Final Four. I don’t think they’ll win the national championship though

I was more nervous for this game than the next 2 if they move on

Good lord these announcers have a hard-on for Duke and Zion.  Zion utterly slams down on a guys arm and they talk about how great of a block it was when it's a clear foul.  It's like the tenth instance of them glossing over Duke fouls and saying how great their "defense" is.  Shameful and clear rooting.
