Zona doing what they do best lately.   Getting beat by higher seeds in the tourney 
and I still pick them to go far……..
not next year     Nah I probably will still pick them far 

Me too. For about 8 years running.

Lol…fwiw, I thought they were second best in the tourney. They were ice cold for about 35min.  
 

I would still bet on Lloyd building a good program there.

Against a solid team, too. They might not win it all, but I haven’t seen a better team this year

It's definitely possible UConn does not win it all, and I hope Purdue loses ASAP. But a Clingan vs Edey match up would be fun to watch. I tend to think UConn would win by 10+ at least. Hopefully PU doesn't play after tomorrow though.

It feels like Tommy Lloyd forgot to remind his team they can play offense inside the three point line.

Hurley should take his starters out. That Castle hit looked like it could be a concussion IMO but cameras showed him saying he's fine. This has always been one of his bad tendencies dating back to St Benedicts lol

Yeah but this year I knew better.  Normally teams give you clues during the year and Arizona as good as they were lost games to non tourney teams on the road that they had no business losing to.  At Oregon St, At Stanford and at USC.   Usually if you are a 1 or 2 seed most your losses are to tourney quality teams.  They got me again.   Tomorrow Tenn will get me

Good for Brad Brownell. 

He played high school ball with Calbert at Evansville Harrison.

This is the first year in forever I didn't pick Arizona to go far, so glad that paid off.

Every March I pick them to go to the Final 4 it seems like, and they always let me down.

Glad I didn't let myself make that mistake again this year.

I thought Brownell out-coached Lloyd in that game. I’m probably the only one here that didn’t know he was born in Evansville. I guess I never paid attention to his history. Pretty cool for him/them!

Bilas also always picks 'Zona to go to the Final Four!

I think they repeat. I haven't seen anyone better or more consistent. I agree they would put double digits on Purdue as long as they don't panic foul Edey every other trip. If Clingan holds Edey 8-10 pts under average there's no way Purdue makes up for it with guard play against UConn's backcourt.

My future son-in-law graduated from Clemson and he and my daughter are staying with us on the way to moving to South Carolina, so he was psyched.

UConn is ridiculous.  This will be the 9th straight tourney game they win by double digits I think 

They’re on their own level. The only thing that’s saving the field is that it’s not an NBA format because nobody’s beating those guys 4 of 7, 

[RaceToTheTop]

Caleb Love:  5 of 18 from the field, 0 of 9 from three, 1 assist.  In Arizona's last three losses of the season (USC, Oregon, Clemson) he was 8 of 39 from the field, 1 of 22 from three, and had 5 assists to 12 turnovers.

Larrsen absolutely gave away this game with 3 pathetic defensive possessions in a row. Like WTH defense.

Probably had a bet on the game.

It was seriously bad. We need an Ant Wright breakdown or the Hilarious tik tok guy who broke down Calipari’s failures.

Someone explain to me how Courtney Green is allowed to officiate this Illinois game. He’s horrible, and I think everyone agrees on that. Officiating must be a bigger boys club than the IU admin.
