6 points in about 8 seconds.

[rocky_warrior]

Yep. They've been too quick for Oregon St all half...so naturally they've resorted to long 2s

Clearly they should have been long 3's instead.  wow.

[JWags85]

Cade is ELECTRIC

[warriorstrack]

Oregon St withstood the push, time to buckle down

[MuggsyB]

Loyola has a much better chance against the Beavers.

The live betting I've done on this game is something. Ok St was +580 about three minutes ago.

[MuggsyB]

Crazy sequence there!

[warriorstrack]

Loyola has a much better chance against the Beavers.

You sure about that?
Silva is the equal to the big Loyola stache dude

Thompson rocks

[JWags85]

Thompson has been unreal.

But Ok St is baffling. They hit huge shots when down 5+ but they've missed EVERYTHING otherwise. Bunnies, floaters, running layups have all been bricks. Still under 30% for the game

Thompson rocks

Krutwig has the ability to draw Silva out of the post though. Krutwig loves to dribble himself into position and I can see Silva getting into trouble trying to stay in front of him.

I'd like to see the rule changed where a timeout doesn't buy a team a fresh 10 seconds to get the ball across half court.

I'm not sure . Thompson has been outstanding.

PAC 12 tournament title > Horizon, MCC tournament title

Silva has been there done that 😉

[GooooMarquette]

Thompson has been unreal.

Yep. First time I've seen him live. The kid can play.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

OK St is just not that good.

Conference of Champions. No truck stops here!

Not a good day minus Baylor for the B-12.

[JWags85]

OK St is just not that good.

They are very good. They just have started slow too often and have a tendency to get sloppy.

At this point I expect Cuse to beat Houston and Loyola can go 12 seed, 11 seed to the FF

[Dish]

I checked what the lines would hypothetically be for Loyola's next game.

Loyola/Oregon St -2

Loyola/Oklahoma St +4

Computers and eye test both show Oregon St is the tougher matchup.

[MuggsyB]

This may be the most amazing 3 days in tournament history.  Wow, just Wow!!

[wisblue]

The Big 12 contingent is down to 3 teams.

I like the cut of your gib!

Loyola would have been favored by 4 over OK St?

[MarquetteMike1977]

It is a double digit seed dance party

[Dish]

Loyola would have been favored by 4 over OK St?

On a neutral floor, yes. For the rankings I use:

Loyola 88.76
Ok St 84.93

If one wants to call it -3.5, that's fine, but Loyola would have been at least a 3 point favorite.

The computer does not like Ok St.
