I remember watching ORU hoops on some obscure cable channel back in the 80s possibly 90s from the Mabee Center.  Seemed like an odd find at the time to me but I appreciated it.

One thing I hope will remain after this shit season is the coaches not dressing like they are in a Hugo Boss advertising campaign.

[Michael Knight 12989]

Man I even picked oregon state in my initial bracket before changing it. Rick Barnes sucks

Why the fuck did I go against Sister Jean in this matchup?  

Or: why did you go against the #9 Kenpom team facing a team missing its best player

[Doyle Hargreaves 301]

Tenn is done. Mentally beat. 

[pops 7005]

This is way in the weeds, but Barnes just tried to run a play called dribble. Tinks mentor invented the play. It didn't work.

I don't follow that stupid kenpom shit, I use the old tried and true method of selecting my brackets...  

 

My eyes... 

 

[Doyle Hargreaves 301]

Must be white boy day. Is it white boy day? 

[Teryor 4476]

I'll never forget how outmatched Rick Barnes was in his last game vs Butler where we were struggling to get the ball past halfcourt. He has no business coaching players with NBA aspirations much less two lottery talents.

This jackass ^^^ may have spoken too soon.

[Machinator 32099]

Tennesseee might lose but they're about to cut the lead in half in the span of 90 seconds.

Because OSU is playing with their butts clinched.

Yeah, that's what often happens with lower-seeded teams playing with a lead.

[Js1 85437]

Still a lot of dribbling and standing around before jacking up a 3 offense. I see Barnes took that with him 

[Droopy 2626]

Rick “Hand in his Pocket” Barnes is killing my bracket. 

[pops 7005]

State hanging on. To their throats and the game.

I think the writing is on the wall for OR St-Tenn:

"Mene, Mene, Tinkle, Parsin"

[Underdog 28726]

Got the Vols losing next rd to Ok St, so not too big of a hit. 

[CurlyDumps 4476]

Barnes gonna cut it to single digits! #MoralVictories

Doesn't look like it.  

[Huckleberry 33020]

And Oregon State did everything they could to blow the lead. Turnovers, about 3-for-10 in the last three minutes on free throws, etc. 

[Js1 85437]

 

[Sbbruin 21861]

Beavers and Oral with the upsets. There's a joke in there somewhere

We’re a bunch of charging mofos. Not worried yet. Need to start hiring shots though.

You think UH is losing to Cleveland State?

I admittedly don't watch very much college basketball until we get to tournament time. Somebody please tell me what the case was for Ohio State to get a #2 seed in the tournament. The Buckeyes finished fifth in the Big 10 with eight league losses and didn't win the conference tournament.

Not like I'm counting on it or anything, but Cleveland caught my eye during their conference tournament. 

I'll be less shocked if Cleveland wins than I was when ORU won. 

[Doyle Hargreaves 301]

Hmmm. That was a bullshit call on osu

[Brian Fantana 6689]

Okie State sure initiates a lot of contact. Refs not having it

['stache 21823]

So the refs are into fake schools too. Bunch’s bullshit so far.

[Brian Fantana 6689]

Your plan so far seems to be bulldoze inside and hope they don't call a charge or you don't turn the ball over

That’s how we’ve played all year. It’s frustrating but we win close games.

Computers and voters seemed to love the B1G all year...reduced OOC and it went like football with the SEC:  they’re highly ranked because they beat a highly ranked conference foe who was highly ranked because they played highly ranked conference foes.  Will remain to be seen how true it was.

Sister Jean got more drip than most of the people on this site.

That's what's opening so many opportunities for us gamblers this year.  

 

example: Gonzaga isn't that good.  Once the pre season turney got cancelled they had an easy path to undefeated.
