Game Thread: Elite Eight (Day 2)

[pennstatenut]

well, I'm at 98.6 % in one of my other espins brackets, in the top 100,000 or so, but WHAT THE HELL GOOD IS THAT! WORTHLess, cant brag to anyone about it. Might as well be a figment of my imagination

LOL, I'm in the top 99.9 and still ranked 6,323.

Duke is not getting good looks

 

[TrollyMcTroller]

His why will consist of "well, they're Michigan State.

I thought that might be the case, but I was kinda hoping I might hear something that was based on criteria the selection committee actually considers.

What a play by Tyus Jones

I *really* don't like him, but that play was pretty damn good.

Didn't even spike the ball on him, just gave it a little tap and there was nothing he could do.

I think you are the first I have seen who doesn't like Jones. He is ugly but he is really good

Nice play T Jones

I was impressed with my 82.3% right now especially since I was under 30% at one point earlier in tournament

Matt Jones!!!

He's supremely talented. Not taking that away from him, and while I make fun of how he looks, that's just me cracking jokes. My only real beef with him is that crappy fake foul thing he does on his jumpers where he shoots, then he initiates contact with the defender, then acts like he got hit by a bus. I haven't seen him do it lately but he did it a lot at the start of the season.

Matt Jones is killing it right now.

Netherlands losing to Turkey in Euro qualifiers 1-0 with 10 to go if anyone cares

 

[Robotech]

Weak foul call there.

He really doesn't do that anymore though. I think he got away with it in high school and quickly learned you can't do that in college. He is a smart player

Jeffro's main gripe might be that the Spartans keep knocking his Cavaliers out of the tourney from a much lower seed, and he would feel better about it if they lost to a top 3 seed instead

Can't argue that.

But truth be told it takes very little for me to not like a Duke player. I'm sure you're already well aware of the love'em or hate'em dynamic with Duke... very rarely a middle ground.

it always amazes me how many people do really well on brackets. You'd think 99.9 would get you to the top...

oh hell yeah, I'd take 82.3 in this game.

Where do you think MSU should have been seeded and why?

A 4 or 5 seed. MSU was a top 15 team in KenPom and Sagarin. Clearly not a 7 seed.

So, you think the committee should ignore everything else and just use KenPom and Sagarin, or you think KenPom and Sagarin just outweigh everything else for MSU? What's your thought process on this one?

Put the team on your back Justise!
