Cockburn slowly removing the dagger by making FTs and gets a basket. Probably not enough time left.

When did he turn into Ray Allen? Huge FT's.

Horrible call there on that charge.

Poor call, yes. As Raf said: "That's a play-on."

God freaking awful charge call. Unreal

Bam!! Krutwig forces the the turn on Ayo!!

Do you think Woj watches the tourney? If so, does he feel shame? Good thing he didn't recruit Krutwig.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #682 on:** March 21, 2021, 01:17:01 PM »

Oh.... yes. Getting close to a Loyola win.

MU82 · « **Reply #683 on:** March 21, 2021, 01:24:07 PM »

Down goes the champion in my bracket! Thud!

The way Loyola handled Illinois now has me at least a little concerned that Madison can hang with Baylor.

So far, so good!

Color me skeptical on Davidson going 5-7 from 3 and the team shooting 50% from 3 again against one of the best defensive teams in the country.

Illinois is very good but they were up and down consistency wise all year and randomly disappeared against lesser teams. Baylor has been a consistent unrelenting monster nearly all year

Still baffling to me how much Curbelo played despite being awful the entire game.

I'm actually extremely concerned but I suppose I have general anxiety issues.

In all honesty, I think Loyola has a legit chance at another final 4. I like the way their bracket looks for their style of play.

BM1090 · « **Reply #688 on:** March 21, 2021, 01:43:50 PM »

Wisconsin will win this game.

OK St will be a challenge. I don’t think they abandon Krutweig like Illinois did.

And if you want to look way ahead, assuming chalk, I don’t think Houston is a good matchup at all. They are happy and skilled at a slower pace of play. I think they would be thrilled to see a team like Loyola

I don't disagree at all. But I think OK St. and Houston are both reasonably beatable. Obviously getting to the final 4 is always challenging.

I think Moser draws up a good game plan to take Cunningham out of his game. Cade's TO prone, and I think they take advantage of that.

Houston is the big hurdle.

Houston is gonna be tough for Loyola. OK state is very much beatable. Hell, Marquette had a chance this year.

Oklahoma State is weird. They seem to get themselves in a holes with slow starts. Then they almost always crawl out of them just in time.

Anyone can beat anyone.
The big names who play big names are highly over rated by the number crunchers.

I think this is accurate. I truly thought we'd see quite a bit of chalk but was way off

Davison has airmailed at least two 3's so far, which is enjoyable.

ChitownSpaceForRent · « **Reply #696 on:** March 21, 2021, 02:04:53 PM »

Yup, this is the Brad Davison I remember. This is gonna be a blow out.

I hope you're right. I picked Baylor but I'm ready to be hurt again.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #698 on:** March 21, 2021, 02:08:50 PM »

Baylor needs to keep attacking. They seen to be able to get quality looks consistently.

This year more than most. Without extra team time before the season, none of the P6 were particularly impressive out of conference.
