Wonderful having 4-4 in squares.

☹️

FWIW...Twice in theee years Marquette was eliminated by a team that went to the Final Four. 

[HutchwasClutch]

The point was they ran into a lottery pick who absolutely torched them on a sh***y team

Your post only mentioned "teams on heaters" and then named them, but ok.

South Carolina made a Cinderella run also.

The AD needs to hit the portal for a new coach.

Kon to MU. Speak it into existence.

[tower912]

Your pick was destroyed.

I will get over it.   

[MuggsyB]

Oh.

Did Burns have more of an impact tonight or against mu?

That's a tough call.  He looks a little heavier than he did Friday.  There is a 0.0 chance he's under 300 lbs.

I mean he absolutely destroyed us in the half we lost by 13.

It took us a half to get it figured out but we did get it figured out. The way Duke played him was downright dumb.

Man, Marquette really blew a golden chance at the Final Four.

I'm even more disappointed with our loss now than I was on Friday.

[Judge Smails]

I guess NC State isn't that bad. They are a different team now. Duke has played them four times this season. Won the first two and has lost to them twice in the last two weeks.

Agreed

Disagree.  NC State is on a heater.  They're forcing teams into their pace, and executing confidently.  I'm not certain I'd pick them against Purdue (TBD), but against Duke was an easy call after they beat us.

Idk tbh I think im better now.

No telling how Duke plays against us. Just like we cant assume with how bad we played vs Nc State that we magically play well vs Duke.

Now at least we can say we ran into a team on a heater with also a slight horseshoe up their ass. While also playing trash ourselves.

Sucks either way. But Nc State winning again makes playing the what if game a bit tougher.

Apparently that NIL money wasn't enough to get Duke common sense tutors.

NC State should never be an 11 seed. It means they were placed into the South as a minefield because of how how they were. The same wit NC last year.

[BLWarrior91]

South Carolina made a Cinderella run also.

True about South Carolina also going to the Final Four, but no one had hopes of a deep run with Wojo's 2017 squad.  The 2019 was better until the late season collapse and Ja Morant destroying us.

They were sub .500 in conference...

[tower912]

 3 weeks ago, NCState was not even on the bubble.   They got on a heater and voila.

They weren't going to make the tournament unless winning the ACC tournament. How else should they have been seeded?

The way they finished the season and in light of what we know now about the internal problems, that Marquette team was easy prey for anyone.

[Shaka Shart]

Your post only mentioned "teams on heaters" and then named them, but ok.

I mentioned 3 other far more relevant examples and then one where there was a game where a lotto pick had an incredible performance, to which you chose to nitpick at for some weird reason. But ok I can agree that yes Murray State did not win their next round nor was it that close.

You must be fun at parties weirdo!

Careful about giving credit to that Murray state team!

Someone just pointed out that Purdue still has the opportunity to get knocked out of the NCAA tournament by a double digit seed for the 4th year in a row.

Boy would I like us to get on a heater.

Gotta keep the Big Ten futility streak going.
