Sweet 16 thread

Nova hardly broke a sweat. Only way I see them losing is a team shoots a ridiculous percentage that Nova can't match. It could happen but they've been the best team all year

[tower912]

Villanova's best is better than anybody else's best.

Interesting stat. Jay Wright hasn't lost a second weekend game in over a decade. Nova is 6-0 in Sweet 16 and Elite 8 games since 2009. If you don't beat Nova in the first weekend, they are going to the Final Four.

Duke is a really stupid team

Horrible shot selection

Duval raking contested 3s is almost funnier then Carter taking 3 3s.

Grayson has fallen off a cliff since his sophomore year

This guy New man from Kansas is a big time stud.

Wait, 4 freshmen can be a dumb team?

Duval bad turnover trying to dribble thru double team, with Duke up one.

Then, Trent bad shot.  Both lead to Kansas scores.  They should have gone to Bagley, but did not. 

Newman helping himself big time with draft potential in tournament play.  I mean Ayton from Arizona is probably number one pick, but some team gonna be very lucky with Bagley, he is a player.

Go Nova, should be good game vs Kansas.

Way too much Allen shooting the ball. He's not who he thinks he is

[Mr. Nielsen]

Wow, excellent game on a big stage for the game.

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

Graham gives me hope that MH can step into the point

I feel like a proud parent right now, so happy for Malik.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Not the deciding factor obviously,  but I thought Duke got hosed on Caters last foul. That looked like a clear charge to me

Huge game from him. He was awesome

Probably the most textbook charge I've seen all year. Was shocked to see that go the other way.

Yeah, I remember how you posted the closeness he has with your kids and the family.  Outstanding game for him, he really delivered in the OT.  Congrats.

Malik and I trade texts before/after every game. He just texted me asking us if we can make it down to San Antonio.

That is so very cool.

Same. Been a big fan of his since the day you shared that story. Very impressed with him today.

Stoopid Coach K.

Playing zone killed the Dookies. KU kept finding the middle of it and getting open looks. Only a matter of time before the shots went down.

If only a Scooper who knows more than every coach could have told K to not play zone.

Okay - I'll bite.  Help me understand what your objective is in making this kind of post?  You do this frequently.  Maybe you get off on trying to pick fights?

Guilty.

I was feeling goofy. Just ignore it.

Yep.

Good question, trying to coordinate with Malik, my wife/kids. Trying not to bother him tonight to see if I can get my wife and two other kids tickets too, figured I'd talk to him tomorrow or Tuesday. His phone has to be blowing up. I'm actually in Austin right now, and when my flight landed, I was surprised/ecstatic to have gotten a text from him about an hour after the game had ended.

[DegenerateDish]

A couple of media organizations have called asking if my son and I can make it to San Antonio so they can do stories on my son and Malik for their Final Four coverage. I don't think my son Bradley is going to be Kansas' version of Sister Jean, but you might see us pop up if you're watching some pregame shows this weekend.
