All the 1seeds are being tested this week, Kansas took over in the second but Creighton kept it close for a while, down significant players.
Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.

All I need tomorrow is for AZ to have more points than TCU when the second half ends.

24 teams left. Only one ends their season with a win.
Holy fuck I hope it’s us.

Timme became the third player to have back-to-back games of at least 25 points, 10 rebounds and 60% shooting in the past 30 NCAA Tournaments. Shaquille O'Neal in 1992 and Blake Griffin in 2009 were the other two.

Re: March Madness- Non Arizona Game Thread
Who do we want here? Illinois sucks, but I don't like the revenge factor, even if we do have an additional big now. Houston is far more athletic, and apparently are the #1 team rebounding their missed threes? We don't rebound threes very well defensively. But then again, they really don't shoot that well

For me it's a choice between hate and fear. Hate Illinois. Fear Houston.

Re: March Madness- Non Arizona Game Thread
Houston can't shoot though. They look good vs Illinois because they are moving fast, rebounding, etc. But they're not scoring, especially considering how many possessions there have been so far

Re: March Madness- Non Arizona Game Thread
Really? Houston is basically a more accomplished version of TCU. Houston in San Antonio will be a dog fight. Ultimately I do agree that they probably lack the firepower but they'll be tough.Beachcat97 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 20, 2022 9:39 am I think TCU is a tougher match-up than either of these teams.
Re: March Madness- Non Arizona Game Thread
My preference is Houston although playing them in Texas might be a challenge

Houston is currently shooting 14% better from the field than Illinois and yet Houston is only shooting 25%. This is one fugly game. We're so blessed to have our style of play.

Re: March Madness- Non Arizona Game Thread
You know that if either team plays the Cats they will be totally focused and bring their "A" game. What was the last game that the Cats didn't get the opponents best shot?RaisingArizona wrote: ↑Sun Mar 20, 2022 9:52 am Houston is currently shooting 14% better from the field than Illinois and yet Houston is only shooting 25%.

I hope Illinois can beat Houston. They are Cockburn and a bunch of mediocre guards. We have the bigs to limit Cockburn and / or get him into foul trouble.

Re: March Madness- Non Arizona Game Thread
Houston. We match up better with them.
Houston only has one true big and he's not physical. Should we get Illinois in the Sweet 16 and we
get one of the officiating crews that are allowing full contact wrestling Cockburn could eat Koloko alive.

At least they started hitting some shots hopefully making for a an easier on the eyes second half. I still think Houston takes this one but it does seem likely to come down to the final few possessions

Houston it is. The Cats won't have the home court crowd. Although San Antonio is big enough it may not be that much of an advantage for Houston.

Why do we worry about "defensive" teams whose defense isn't as good as ours and whose offense is way below ours?

According to Kenpom Baylor had nothing to worry about either
or Kentucky, or Tennessee. This isn't the NBA with a best of 7......its lose or go home. TCU is quite capable of sending us packing in a 1 game format.

Re: March Madness- Non Arizona Game Thread
In games like this, it's best to forget about all of the awards and accolades (including the head coach), they don't matter. You better have a junkyard dog attitude, because these teams are looking to do what Buffalo, Wichita State and Xavier did to us.
