Game Thread: Elite Eight (Day 1)

Grant decided to play hero ball there.

No sense. 2 guys were on him the entire time.

Pass the ball or call a timeout please.

That was awful

Ok, Chris Webber.

in b4 s-e-c......

Can I say Big 10 also, even though my team was filth this year?

 

[tabascojet]

who exactly was grant going to pass to with 3 guys on him.....

 

[Anointed One]

Ok, Chris Webber.

LOL...

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

ND did an excellent job, but they kind of choked at the end.. Wisconsin could win that game if Dekkar is still raining 3s... I honestly think Duke looks like the best team now.. Yes I know ND beat them earlier..

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Dang.

 

[The Derski]

Adios guys. Gonna drown my liver tonight.

ND played a great game, really balled up. Great job by the Cats to gut it out

Also not a smart idea to run down the sideline with 2 guys on you. He needed to be closer to the middle of the floor.

Unless Kentucky play MSU or Ville in the finals, these next 2 games to get to 40-0 may even be tougher than this one was tonight

 

[bksballer89]

These final 3 games (including tonight) would be the 3 best teams they played all year long unless Ville or MSU upsets Duke/Zags in the final 4 next Saturday.

Wisconsin will beat Kentucky if they shoot anything close to how they did today. Kentucky was VERY LUCKY to beat Notre Dame who had very few turnovers (which is what Wisconsin does well).

Grant made a critical error dribbling into the corner rather than taking it down the middle of the floor where his options and vision were extremely limited. Too bad. He played a great game and now it looks like he lost it. And that's just not the case.

 

[tabascojet]

did they cut the nets or forget again??

I hope they are cutting their last nets down this season.

whole thing was a mess because they burned their last timeout when cal was eventually going to call one anyways. the 2 ft inbound pass didn't help either. they needed a timeout and a play to get the pass towards the basket. grant went hero but looking at the nd players none of them were really looking to get open

Ha! No. Saving scissors.

That's going to be true of about 99.5% of the teams in Division 1. You say that like it's a big fucking surprise. Final Four teams are good? no shit.

Two great games for Regional Championships. Congrats to both Wisconsin and Kentucky.
