Texas Tech is the better team. They look really impressive and fun to watch because they play at a fast pace. This is not an upset and Texas Tech is underrated.

Gonzaga will win a national championship after surviving this one.

Outside of the assu loss, this is by far my favorite result of the tournament so far. How about the guy who blocked the shot out of bounds and then saved it!? Fuck Gonzaga! Seriously.

On a side note, I traveled from Tucson to Lubbock in 2012 for the Arizona-TTU game (fans weren't nice and what a stinky hole Lubbock was) but who would have thought that the two programs would be polar opposites in 2019 (not to mention they went to an EE last year). It's TTU for crying out loud! If something happens to Sean and no one (UCLA or Kansas) gets Beard, by far my #1 choice.

At this point I guess this is all you have to laugh at with the season KU had, the impending departure of Self, and massive sanctions coming down the pipe.

Welcome back fuegs. Glad you got the Slurpee machine fixed.

Sounds like Mackey Arena for this EE game.

The game is in Louisville so the game isn't far from Purdue. Purdue fans have always been loud.

Anyone else noticing the glut of threes in all these games, sweet sixteen and elite eight? Nailing from way out too. All these shooters were developing their game in high school when the Steph Curry effect hit and now I guess we’re seeing it come on strong in college.

Are these PAC-12 refs?

Gotta call bank

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Sat Mar 30, 2019 7:46 pm

This is the game of Edwards's life. His second half might be as hot as I've ever seen anyone in the tourney.

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Sat Mar 30, 2019 7:49 pm

Holy crap

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Sat Mar 30, 2019 7:49 pm

Holy shit, what an end to regulation in UVA/Purdue!

Edit: that's incredible presence of mind by Clark.

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Sat Mar 30, 2019 7:52 pm

These refs are brutal

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Sat Mar 30, 2019 8:04 pm

Purdue is going to be sick knowing how close they came to a Final Four.

Edwards went cold when it mattered.

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Sat Mar 30, 2019 8:06 pm

What an incredible game. I'd say UVA has it, but...5 crazier things have happened in this game alone.

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Sat Mar 30, 2019 8:08 pm

Packline makes Final Fours, I guess.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sun Mar 31, 2019 1:30 am

There is no team left that I’m rooting for per se, but Virginia going from first ever #1 to lose to a 16 to Nat Champ the following year is kind of a cool story

Beachcat97 · Post by **Beachcat97** » Sun Mar 31, 2019 9:23 am

Need MSU and Auburn today. Otherwise, I'm done in my pool.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sun Mar 31, 2019 1:24 pm

Good 1 going on with Kentucky and Auburn... tied up 1:30 to go for a Final 4

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Sun Mar 31, 2019 1:28 pm

These elite 8 games have been so high level and so intense. Reminds me why I hate watching them when we are involved in one. Gut wrenching for the fans, especially Gonzaga and Perdue today

84Cat · Post by **84Cat** » Sun Mar 31, 2019 1:46 pm

Man I hope Bruce Pearl doesn't stroke out before this game ends

Pearl advancing is sickening in light of the ringer milllers been put through.

That dude is diiiirty

So you know what? All teams should get dirty and put it on the table.

So so jelly of AU

Go Spartans!

Fucking Duke is going to do it again

What a weak ass call for end of game

Edit:may have worked in MSU's favor

Needs to tell his players to go faster.

Beachcat97 · Post by **Beachcat97** » Sun Mar 31, 2019 5:27 pm

Just won my pool. Thanks, Spartans! I never pick these freshman-filled Duke/UK teams. Rarely works out.

And yes, I know AZ will be one such team next year, but I'm hoping that we'll have enough experience and poise to go far.

U.P. Zona Fan · Post by **U.P. Zona Fan** » Sun Mar 31, 2019 5:33 pm

Yes, 3 top ten picks, MSU has less talent than last year, more seniority, VA, experience, it is important to have experience, on the last MSU possession , Zion would have slammed that ball with 5 sec left to go up 3 and given the ball back. Winston dribbled it out cause he knew what to do. I hope Nico and Josh stay a while

I wouldn't count on it. But I'd love to be wrong.

That might have been the best Elite Eight ever. So many heart stopping ends with huge plays.

I would argue that to be considered the best Elite Eight ever, it would have to have Arizona in it (and Winning the Fucking game!!!!!)

U.P. Zona Fan · Post by **U.P. Zona Fan** » Mon Apr 01, 2019 2:12 pm

I cheer for sparty if they aren't playing Arizona, but I might be secretly cheering for Bruce pearl just so I can see emmert have to give the trophy to him, and have to fake smile through his teeth because of Pearl's audacity and brazen uncooperative manner in dealing with the FBI stuff.

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Sat Apr 06, 2019 5:11 pm

Wow Auburn fouls a three point attempt with .6 left. Tied one FT to go.

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Sat Apr 06, 2019 5:11 pm

UVA has a horseshoe up their ass this year.

Tough call on Auburn

CatMG · Post by **CatMG** » Sat Apr 06, 2019 5:12 pm

Looks like Virginia found Duke's luck they had for the for a couple of their games.

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Sat Apr 06, 2019 5:13 pm

Incredibly stupid play by Auburn. It was a ticky tack foul, but why run under someone in that scenario? So dumb.

84Cat · Post by **84Cat** » Sat Apr 06, 2019 5:13 pm

Virginia is so fucking lucky to win that game. Chuck must be devastated
