If either team (and time is ticking for the Vols) plays like this against Duke, Flagg and Co will gut them like a fish. Houston hasn't been all that. Lousy three point shooting.

Yea that is going to be a blowout

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Houston holds on just about every rebound lol.

So long, Tennessee.
The Cougars are for real.

Next game is gonna be huge for my bracket. If Michigan State loses, that's gonna be half my final four picks inside of 3 hours.

Glad to see Houston back to the Final Four. Not since 1984 and Psi Slama Jama.

All #1's in the Final Four? Not since 2008.

suggest you not watch that game until the last 10 minutes...
if Auburn's lead is less than 15 at that point?...
go green.

I think Michigan State pull off the upset. Free throws are so important now. Texas Tech is in the FF if they could have made their FTs. Spartans, best FT shooting team in the nation.

Let’s go Sparty! I’ve never liked Bruce Pearl or Auburn.

I got Sparty over Auburn.

A 2 seed beating a 1 wouldn't really be an upset though.

Just sayin'

I hated Michigan State for a while. I wanted to see Larry Bird and Indiana State win so badly.

I might be wrong but I think that its still the highest ratings for a CBB TV game ever. Back to 1979

Actually, Houston made it in 2021...losing to eventual champ Baylor in the semifinal.

So, this is Sampson's 3rd trip to the Final Four...2002 at Oklahoma. He's on a short list of coaches who have taken multiple programs to the Final Four. Helluva coach.

This is gay

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow...that Auburn player practically begged to be called for traveling there 3 different times on that play but the refs apparently missed all of it.

Too funny.

 

[Clayton]

All chalk?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

That 17 0 run early was killer.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Looks like it'll be the Four Aces heading to San Antonio, guys.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Dude misses both. Yeez
