Shes a huge caniac too.

Officer Farva Krutwig for Loyola was an absolute machine.

Yep, was a pretty stressful game, surprised that Culver appeared to be that off yesterday. But probably not a bad sign if they can win by nearly 20 with Culver not having his A game.

I think whoever wins Houston-WVU when that happens makes the Final Four, since I get the feeling Illinois gets upset by the Fightin Sister Jeans

Good call.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Big 10 looks mightily overrated so far.

 

[DaveG]

Cuse getting away with absolutely mauling Culver inside so far, unless we go unconscious from 3 we're done

Ton of moving screens as well, nothing.

 

[Tryamw]

Loyola Still a miss-seed. Glad they Made Illinois burn for the committee's mistake

Yep, by most metrics at worst they should have been a 5, and more like the top 4 seed. Not going to complain about them showing everyone just how overrated the Big 10 was this year with that game though.

Huggy is looking pretty chill. A few years back my sis and I were at The Greenbrier during tourney time and watched some games with WV fans. It was great fun. They have a sweet sports bar set up there.

WVU leads, we've got a game. First lead change at Lucas Oil all day.

Be careful if we ever give you a mason jar with a clear liquid. Definitely in danger of having a good time when that happens, presuming strong liquor isn't an issue.

One of the things I think makes basketball unique - some frumpy looking dude took a big time program to school because he’s so solid in the fundamentals.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Great game. Sorry DaveG.

 

[DaveG]

whelp, I'm done for the week. Be back next week to cheer on chaos and possibly the Zags making history.

Unfortunately the tourney is a zero sum game. DG and hbrg go away disappointed, but I know there are at least a couple Syracuse fans on the board. I was going to SU games back when they played in Manley Field House, and beating any top 20 team was a big deal. Making a top 20 poll back then would have been like going to the final four now.

Oh well, I guess I just outed myself as an old bastage, lol.

I'm pulling for the 'Zags partly to give the non P5 conference's their due

Yep, hoping for the first Mid-Major to win since 90 and the first undefeated national champion in my lifetime

I mean hey, definitely no hate on my end. Can't say I don't have a soft spot for the Orange having lived in the Finger Lakes area for a few years growing up and one of my neighbors from Mass being Dave Bavarro. This time of year is chaos and sometimes it's just not your day, that was today for us and it ended up being a good game after looking like a laugher to start. Can't say I'm not disappointed, but I also went to WVU when even making the NIT was a big deal for us and getting out of the first round took an absolute miracle (ironically against Huggins). Just hoping that we can get Culver and Deuce back next season and make another go at getting Huggs a ring and in to the HOF... mind you it's a f***ing joke that he's not in already.

 

[HisIceness]

I had Illinois and WVU meeting in the Elite 8

 

[LakeLivin]

Unless Syracuse is able to pull off a miracle (which, lets face it, isn't going to happen) I'd like to see Gonzaga win it all as well.

 

[HisIceness]

If Gonzaga doesn't win the whole damn thing this year, they never will.

 

[HisIceness]

Tough loss for New Jersey U, but credit U of Houston for coming back and winning that one. Scarlet Knights will be back though, they would have been in last year if not for Covid

I wouldn’t say that was on Houston doing well. Rutgers should be on every video room on how not to play at the end of the game.

 

[HisIceness]

Oral Roberts does it again! To the Sweet 16 they go!

14-2 run to end the game though, sometimes teams won't take what's given to them.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Oral Roberts. Beats Florida. Hilarious

 

[Canes]

What a tourney so far

 

[Dishface]

First 15 seed to make it to the sweet 16 since Florida Gulf Coast.
