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. 

[Rockethorn1978 6,205]

I’ll be honest that this is wide open and I haven’t been impressed with any team and thought “fuck they look good”. 
 

If Texas had won last night I would be pumped at the opportunity to be in a wide open any one can win field.

And Bill Self...

Or maybe you meant Self instead of Izzo.

Mea culpa, completely forgot Self, who is also ahead of Sampson.

I’ve been impressed with Nova. They’re gonna win it all.

I wouldn’t mind that but, this Covid has really taken it to Jay Wright’s gameday suit selection.  The ladies around us at NCAA this past weekend we’re disappointed Jay was not his usual dapper self.

You're a 2 point favorite. For now. Stop acting like you're playing a cupcake. You're really setting up to need the jaws of life to pry your foot out of your mouth.

Dude he said UNC in a convincing win.  I disagree with that prediction.  Where are you getting that I am acting like we are playing a cupcake?  Creating your own narrative here.

My bad I somehow missed that part. Don't get me wrong, I think it's gonna be a really good game. I'm not sure who to root for. I usually just root for the underdog in games that aren't ours because chaos, but on the other hand fuck UNC.

[Underdog 29,176]

It’s a cruel world when I find myself rooting for UCLA, but here I am. 

[Scraps 13,799]

I think Juzang needs to pull his head out of his ass for UCLA to win.  He has been pretty sucky since before his injury in the Oregon game going back a month.

He started lighting it up last game.  He's streaky af.  But I think he comes on strong against NC.  He better.

Yeah, I was mumbling about our start time on Thursday.

And good luck to the Raiders.  I would enjoy seeing y'all chew up Duke and Gonzaga in one weekend.

All-time starting 5's for the remaining Sweet 16 teams according to ESPN.  Gee, I wonder who would come out on top?  Actually, Houston's starting 5 would be pretty beastly.

[Underdog 29,176]

I like Marques Johnson but think I’d go with Sidney Wicks in his place on that team. 

[Sbbruin 22,142]

Jaime look alright.  I'm sure he plays.  How effectively and how many minutes we shall see.

Or Jamaal Wilkes.

Richard Washington probably wouldn’t be a bad choice either.

KenPom odds to win it all.  Houston better odds than U of A:

I expected to argue the hell out of our team, but they nailed it.  As the tag line says, Hoiberg, Niang, and Tinsley would create an absolute match up nightmare.

We could run out Walton, Kareem, Derka, @ztejas, and Michael Scott and probably beat any of them.

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

I'm confused.  I thought Iconoclast had a different sock?

Call me crazy, but that Kansas team would beat UNC, and give UCLA hell.  

Also, Sean Gay should be on the Texas Tech team.

Jason Sasser over Darvin Ham at F.    Yeah, he had the backboard shattering "Ham Slam" against UNC, but Jason Sasser was the alpha on that team.

Sean Gay was not better than Keenan Evans or Andre Emmett( RIP.)

I'm almost a little bit relieved we lost to Purdue, just so we could avoid this board completely melting down when St Pete's took a 10-point first-half lead on us.

It would have been delicious.

Nothing about my initial post was provocative, nor was it intended to be.

pancho's bitchass response got the 2nd post.  If I had posted it in a Chris Beard thread or UT '22-'23 convo or whatever, then y'all could gripe.

What Mark Adams has done this year is incredible, but I'm starting to get a little chapped that Otzelberger isn't getting more COTY run.

This ISU team is like a living, breathing plot to a Disney sports movie.

[Brian Fantana 6,864]

Good lord some of you are the biggest petty bitches.

Anyway, yeah, Otz should be getting more love for the job he's done. ISU has won as many tourney games this year as they won total games last year. Crazy turnaround.

[Js1 87,179]

You don’t have to post here if you don’t like us. 

[Brian Fantana 6,864]

Nah I'd rather stay and make fun of you for acting like an 8 year old with a skinned knee

[Js1 87,179]

Yeah that's about the response I expected from you.

That's a dumber response than slorch asking why we have a Sweet 16 thread on a sports message board for the biggest NCAA event of the year. 

The kindergarten education in Lubbock is really something.
