Anti Climatic ending.

9-1 since it was tied at 55. Two terrible three point attempts by OSU after that. I think I’ve seen more air balls in this tourney that any other.

Oregon St. was absolutely brutal down the stretch after closing it to 3.

Their defense had Houston players yelling at each other. Surprisingly entertaining game!

They should've lost every game they played so far. It's about time their ridiculous luck turned.

Ummm......no.  Oregon St. was severely underrated and you don't win 3 NCAA tourney games by luck.

Sure you do. Loyola missed a ton of open looks last game for instance.

Who, Oregon State?

Yes, based on shot quality, they should've lost every game. The Loyola game most notably, where Shot Quality respected expected LUC to win 92% of the time by an average margin of 17 points. The Beavers were insanely lucky shooting and insanely lucky in terms of the shots they allowed.

What are your overall thoughts on Kelvin Sampson?  I'm all for 2nd chances but at the time I honestly didn't think he would get a college job let alone get to a F4.

I find the trio of Nantz, Raftery, and Grant Hill extremely awkward.

As some have mentioned, the violations he committed weren’t all that bad and aren’t even violations anymore.  He got a reasonable penalty.

As for getting another job, it made sense.  He’s a fantastic coach who has won everywhere.  He was close to back to back F4s at OU. He’d have made IU a power if he was still there

I don't know but it's just a weird combo.  I get they have been the "A" team for awhile but something is way off.  Maybe it's Hill?   I feel bad for Ian Eagle and Kevin Harlan.

Get rid of Hill. Why would you give the best color man in sports less mic time?

I'm watching Matthew Mayer and reminded that hs rankings can be off.  He was in the same class as Joey Hauser and plays the same position.  If you were an NBA scout would you say that Joey does anything better than Mayer?   I'd say no and he's much slower.

Why is Mitchell in the game with 2 fouls up 15 in the first half? If they were down 15 I’d get it...

Hes their best player.

Butler is too slow with it at times and doesnt know when to attack. Mitchell always on the go.

That's one strange shooting motion by that Baylor kid who made the three. Strange, but effective.
