College basketball games should never be 60-58 with :52 to go. That's high schoolish.

Kentucky is abysmal on anything that’s not a layup and they have major size edge so not really a surprise

This is clearly karma for Purdue, who were only there because of one of the worst fouls calls in tournament history.

How much did you lose on the Vols?

I'm good with a Final Four without North Carolina or Kentucky

Two teams never to Final Four are in. Virginia last 35 years ago.
Two overtime games.
Two blue bloods out, UNC and Kentucky. Only one, Duke or MSU will get in.

Lackluster last week, these Elite 8 games have been great.

Said previously, Jared Harper is just a really good point guard, quick, smart, and just made 11 for 11 from line in the clutch.

Hope next game is as good as others.

At risk of being mocked by those who deride the crapshoot-ish nature of the tournament, it's worth remembering Auburn was a couple of made free throws from being out in the first afternoon of the dance.

Is it me or does Cassius Winston look like he's 43 years old?

Sorry, this is an NCAA thread. You'll need to be more specific.

Duke has no apparent interest in rebounding

Winston and Tillman would have looked nice in blue and gold.

At the game surrounded by Duke fans. They sure would have. Wojo is fishing in the right ponds.

The difference between Theo John and Xavier Tillman is rather striking.

It's amazing how many fouls the refs let Zion get away with. It's fine to be physical, but in the 2nd half alone he's gotten away with a charge, push off, elbow to the head and an over the back. I get he's a star, but some of that has to be called.

They are not calling anything in this game period.

Almost all contact is being let go.

It’s been consistent at least

1 foul on Duke. 7 minutes remaining.

Herman Cain · « **Reply #343 on:** March 31, 2019, 05:43:43 PM »

Rooting for MSU and Izzo.

NCAA must really be hoping for Duke. Virginia is a big enough name, but neither Auburn nor Texas Tech are the basketball brands people tune in for (like UNC, Kentucky, Gonzaga, & Michigan, comparably speaking). Duke & Zion will attract a lot more eyeballs than the relatively anonymous Spartans.

Rj Barrett will be hated by nba vets.

Wow is he bad

AlienWarrior · « **Reply #346 on:** March 31, 2019, 06:12:55 PM »

Duke's luck finally has run out. Now I can enjoy the FF.

nyg · « **Reply #347 on:** March 31, 2019, 06:16:46 PM »

Good for MSU, did it without Langford and Ahrens. Tillman was awesome and he would have been a difference maker for MU. Good luck to him.

No Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Kansas. CBS executives not in very good mood tonight, I think it’s great for basketball, don’t care about ratings.

Zion hype over, who is next year sensation.

Mr. Nielsen · « **Reply #348 on:** March 31, 2019, 06:16:52 PM »

Wow. What an excellent Elite 8.

Herman Cain · « **Reply #349 on:** March 31, 2019, 06:24:32 PM »

Happy for MSU. Ike’s buddy Cassius delivered . Tillman was solid too.

Izzo is a Hall of Fame coach and I loved how he owned up to his record against K in the interview.

Dwayne Stephens with a solid MU connection,so rooting for the Spartans
to win it all .
