Sweet 16

[Wally Pryor 5,410]

For starters, Duke laying 1. Will be an interesting game to say the least. 

[Wally Pryor 5,410]

And Villanova getting  4.5 against Michigan. 

Done played it, big.

I read well. It's Heritage that doesn't.

Google

[Wally Pryor 5,410]

Massive fuckup by Heritage. 

We'll see if it honors.  Doubtful.

[Wally Pryor 5,410]

 Somebody in CR is asleep. 

 

Too bad.

 

Spread

Villanova +5

-108

Michigan -5

-108

[Wally Pryor 5,410]

You see it occasionally with offshores. Rare. Usually late in the evening.

Line's been taken down. Major fuckup. Saw the plus 5 and did a double take.

We'll see if it's honored. 50/50.

[taybo20 3,037]

Go peacocks 

[conVINCEd 21,477]

UNC/UCLA gonna be a shootout for the opportunity at a back door final four appearance.  Wish we would have shot better in the first half so we would’ve gotten a swing at that.

[Wally Pryor 5,410]

Jacquez messed his ankle up against St Mary's. That's big.

Less than 50/50 as I should have known. 

"The ticket had an incorrect matchup / line and was canceled and needs to be reentered by you."

Houston Arizona is going to be awesome. 

[Wally Pryor 5,410]

And UH getting the game (almost) in its backyard. SA.

[Scraps 13,799]

Can't wait to watch 400 more charge calls!!

Sampson has to be licking his chops at matching wits with the Arizona coach. UH's guards are going to be hard for Arizona to stop.

[Underdog 29,186]

Thursday’s lineup is quite strong. 

[Juicy 729]

I feel like Michigan ends up playing Nova in every damn tourney. Hope they can get them for once this year.

They're gonna be laying one to rest...so to speak.

You do realize Sean Miller is no longer at UofA right?  Tommy Lloyd is a bright coach.  Few relied on him heavily at Gonzaga for years.

He'll play.  How effectively remains to be seen.  But he'll play.  

[The Ace of Aces 5,377]

My gut picks:

Gonzaga 
Villanova 
Duke 
Houston 
Purdue 
Kansas
UNC
Miami

They have literally only played them once in the tourney the past 30 years and it was for the Championship a few years back lol

Just a slight touch.

 

[Juicy 729]

Feels like.

Saw this driving to drop off my daughter at school this morning. It's a sign

I am not even sure he touched her.  Let's go to replay for 45 minutes and see every angle in the arena

Let's bring in Gene Steratore!  What do you see, Gene?

[Underdog 29,186]

Gene too busy going Jeffrey Toobin on a Zoom call to make a decision.

Yes, Sampson's tournament resume is 2nd to none. I'd take him over Lloyd any day of the week.

Saw video of him during lunch walking off the team plane from Portland. Looked to moving fine. Plenty of time between now and the next game. Barring a setback I'm guessing he's good to go.

21-16 and never coached in a championship game. With a field that still includes K, Wright, and Izzo, Sampson is not even top 3 in this S16. I'd even put him behind Few for non title coaches left.

This was your quote: "Sampson has to be licking his chops at matching wits with the Arizona coach."  Like he was going up against Steve Alford.  

[shadow_operative2.0 16,263]

That’s fucking awesome, “2nd to none”. Holy shit.

I don't know what you are trying to say. Lloyd has never coached a S16 game, this is Sampson's 3rd straight. Arizona is the more talented team, but UH has the guard play to make Arizona work just like TCU did.

I'm trying to say that Sampson licking his chops to match wits with Lloyd is a bit hyperbolic. Like Lloyd is some sort of regard.

And Bill Self...

Or maybe you meant Self instead of Izzo.

2nd to none…..in that bracket I guess.

The best part is we can now just reply '2nd to none' to all of his posts from now on.

Zags with convincing win

Nova in a blowout

Duke in a close one

Zona in a close one

Purdue in a blowout

Kansas in a close one

UNC in a convincing win

Don't care about ISU / Miami; either will get destroyed Kansas (or Providence).

They are on fire absent the Va Tech ACC Tourney blitzkrieg. And Wooden ain’t walking through that door. I saw what they did to Baylor. UNC is not who we thought they were.
