Heartbreaking. I thought it was good.

Max Abmas is a poor man's Markus Howard.

Agree and reminds me some of a poor man’s Butch Lee with his change of pace dribble too.

I really didn't understand why Ark didn't attack at will. They won by dominating the offensive glass. I thought they did a lot of dumb things out there and could have easily lost.

First half was coaching malpractice. Credit to them for actually correcting the gameplan at half. ORU was gassed by the end of the game

Abmus had the run Markus should've had. Like Houston in the next one. Zone is going to struggle against a team like the Cougars that just dominate the offensive glass.

I hops you're correct brewcity. Syracuse has been draining the 3-Ball. Can Houston score enough?

MarquetteMike1977 · « **Reply #1183 on:** March 27, 2021, 09:08:58 PM »

1 Foul in the game so far

It's also a big deal to have a week to prepare for Syracuse. I thought WVU would be in trouble with the Orange because they are terrible against zone & only had 2 days to get ready. Very different situation tonight.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1185 on:** March 27, 2021, 09:15:02 PM »

That middle of the zone is wide open. That should be a lay-up for these guys. Grimes with 2 fouls.

I looked at the discrepancies between these two teams and saw no reason to believe Syracuse could win without Houston laying a major egg

We saw first hand how that goes in 2013

Marquette got pretty damn close to 40 that night

Complete loss of focus by Houston. The most common theme today is that none of these teams are hitting jumpers.

Jump shooting teams tend to weed themselves out of the tourney by the 2nd weekend.

Terrible call on Houston there on the Boeheim drive. Absolutely ridiculous.

Houston has this zone figured out. Get em Cougs!

They’ve got it figured out when Edwards is on the bench, anyway. Their offense runs much better and they attack the middle of the zone much more aggressively when he sits.

MarquetteMike1977 · « **Reply #1194 on:** March 27, 2021, 10:01:35 PM »

Andy Katz just said all teams today are 22% from 3 combined overall today.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1195 on:** March 27, 2021, 10:03:09 PM »

I thought Houston played pretty well defensively but offensively they were all over the place as far as shot selection and patience. They should be up about 18 imo.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1196 on:** March 27, 2021, 10:07:19 PM »

Does anyone know how the tournament ratings have been?

MarquetteMike1977 · « **Reply #1197 on:** March 27, 2021, 10:13:07 PM »

Despite TV usage being down double digits, CBS and Turner Sports' coverage has hardly budged vs. two years ago.
