Well Beard f*cked up that ending.  He let 15 seconds go off the clock before fouling.  Did they have a timeout they could have used too?

Yep. Their last possession was clearly messed up. Shoulda called the TO when it was clear they weren't organized.

Houston looks horrible. Completely disjointed

Houston looks horrible. Completely disjointed

Yep. No flow on either end.

And Rutgers is hitting shots.

Yeah. There is time but Rutgers looks like the better team.

Oral Roberts needs to get it together.  Lots of missed chippies.

Oral sucking right now?

Houston looks like a team that out-athletes their conference and doesn't quite know what to do when they come up against a team where they can't do that.

Beilein's Big Ten Michigan knocked out Houston a few years ago in 2018 on the Milwaukee Kid's Jordan Poole's 3 at the Buzzer.

The Mean Green seem to be shredding Nova's D early.

Rutgers falling apart late. Houston should be up by a few, but can't hit their FTs.

Rutgers is kissing this game away by taking the air out of the ball with about 4 minutes left.

Yep. Totally took them out of their rhythm.

They did the same thing in round 1 and were lucky to win.  Baffling

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  I picked them but I have no idea how Houston won that game.

[BM1090]

Unreal collapse. Some big plays by Houston but they needed help and got it.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Beilein's Big Ten Michigan knocked out Houston a few years ago in 2018 on the Milwaukee Kid's Jordan Poole's 3 at the Buzzer.

Poole made it to win it at the Buzzer. Harper missed it to tie it at the Buzzer. Harper usually makes that they said.

I've seen Pikiell's name here and there on this board for the MU job. No thanks.

[MuggsyB]

So what do we have...three B14 teams left?

[GooooMarquette]

Wow. Rutgers missed a shot down three with about 3 seconds left, and their players just watched Houston grab the rebound and walked off the court. No effort to get the loose ball, no foul, nothing.

I think it is the coach falling apart. Huge, huge difference between what Loyola did and what Rutgers is doing.

When you dribble at mid-court till there are 10 seconds on the clock, you only get one chance. If you run your offense and a play is shut off, there is plenty of time to reset the offense.

I've seen Pikiell's name here and there on this board for the MU job. No thanks.

Had his guys ready, but he choked when it mattered.

[MuggsyB]

Loyola really looked well coached to me today.  Particularly after time-outs and their execution.  I believe they got three back-door chippies after a time-out.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Wow.  I picked them but I have no idea how Houston won that game.

Feel bad for Rutgers. Need some of those bunny's to fall late.

[JWags85]

Game completely turned on Grimes getting his 2nd FT miss and hitting that long 3. Everything went their way after

[MarquetteMike1977]

So what do we have...three B14 teams left?
