2023 NCAA Tournament Thread

Wouldn’t it be amazing if 9 seed FAU won it all. This year might likely have the lowest seed winning it ever in history

[Carcassdragger]

This fucking tournament is wide open. Can't believe our boys blew it.

[Alieberman]

Nowell is just amazing

[azcat49]

Russel Brown with a J

[Postmaster]

Villanova won as an 8.

[AZCatGirl]

This fucking tournament is wide open. Can't believe our boys blew it.

We're not exactly the only high seeded team saying that right now.

[SCCats]

Pretty good atmosphere at UCONN/Zags

Thank god

[AZCatGirl]

I know there's a lot of time left but Gonzaga seems done.

[U.P. Zona Fan]

Oh my, the Zags are screwed.

[MrBug708]

You're welcome UConn.

- Mick Cronin's press conference.

[arizonawildcats]

Tommy needs to recruit the East Coast. UConn is fucking loaded.

[KaibabKat]

I think I may be sick.

FAU with like 7 interchangeable guards and a 10 man rotation, not the most popular scheme in high major ball.

Working good for them.

[waysouthcat]

Looks like another planets aligning run for UConn. Fuck.

[U.P. Zona Fan]

Ucon could put 5 of me in and still win this game

[SCCats]

Wow that UCONN team is fantastic.

Spread on that gamę was UCONN -2.5

[EastCoastCat]

Now that UConn made yet another FF I’m 100% convinced I cannot have nice things.

You will find me in the basement avoiding the insufferable fans out here.

UConn has now been to 6 Final Fours (including '23) and has won 4 national titles. When they get there, they don't mess around.

And yeah, it's kinda crazy how good luck hits some programs several times but never seems to land with others.

[KaibabKat]

Kids graduating from college now that were not born the last time the Wildcats were in a Final Four. Sad.

[PHXCATS]

Final four is the main goal but not the end all be all. Feel bad for those who can't take joy in the other accomplishments you helped facilitate by being Wildcat Club and collective members

You take too much pride in minor accomplishments. Maybe the guys similarly patted themselves on the back too much. Everything lined up for a Final Four run and we blew it. Who knows when we'll get another opportunity like that. Congrats, Creighton/SDSU.

[FreeSpiritCat]

You can see that Creighton and SDSU were both better than Arizona at the end of the season. Injuries and a small rotation hurt the Cats. And our guards were substandard. Nemhard is a stud.

Every 1 and 2 seed but Texas can say the same thing. It is a crapshoot. And as I said the main goal is the final four.

What should I do then? Not be happy when i see the team win in the regular season or Pac-12 tournament?

Should I demand my money back from the collectives? Should I blow up Heeke's office demanding Lloyd be fired and withhold my donations until he is?

Demand an apology, as always.

Clearly it's less important whom you lose to than when you lose to them.

I guess you didn't contribute enough to get us past Princeton.

Why? Why should I continue to contribute my money when the team does not accomplish other people's goals?

Guess not. But I did enough to win Maui and the PAC-12. Sorry my contributions were not enough for you to get what you wanted

“minor accomplishments” - What you’re revealing, is that you really aren’t much of a fan of college basketball!

The “guys” took pride in those accomplishments, because they worked their asses off for them! The fans didn’t do a fucking thing for any of them!

In fact, nothing at all “lined up for a Final Four run” until AFTER Arizona lost! D’uh! The “opportunity” was solely due to those so-called “minor accomplishments”!

We’re so lucky to support a team that is highly competitive year in, and year out!, has high class individuals as coaches, and a bunch of decent young men that we can respect both on and off the court.

Dig yourself!

[dovecanyoncat]

Nemhardt is a stud but Trammell is a beast who will prevail.

You're right, let's throw a parade for the hard work and character exemplified by these fine student athletes.

I was actually just asking -- imploring -- you not to think of engaging in any form of violence.

You're normally pretty unhinged, but that's some next level shit no one needs.

[dovecanyoncat]

If we played D like SDSU would we have any energy left to play O?

That (acknowledging and appreciating) is the absolute minimum that ANY fan should do.

[dovecanyoncat]

I'd like to see Boswell become like Trammell with pressure D and a pullup mid-range J. Every good college guard is given the space for that shot. It seems repeatedly to be available. Tommy loves 2s. Let's hunt them.

[dovecanyoncat]

Trammell prevails.

What the actual fuck are you talking about?

[dovecanyoncat]

Was Sheierman on the line with that full court pass?

[FreeSpiritCat]

Was Sheierman on the line with that full court pass?

What is the line? Is it where the paint ends?

[arizonawildcats]

Good for SDSU. A bunch of these guys were on the 2019-20 team that went 30-2 until COVID cancelled the tourney.

[dovecanyoncat]

Was Sheierman on the line with that full court pass?

Dunno, and camera angle has a lot to do with it.

Wow! I would cheer for SDSU gladly if their fan base wasn't big jerks?

So now it's becoming clear that when you threaten to "blow up" someone's office, you don't even consider that violent.

Strange times we're living in.

Here's hoping that PHX is not a homicidal maniac! Bear Down!

You're really not good for much else, so yeah.

[azcat49]

that was a brutal call on Creighton at the end. IMO he should have passed on that call and they should be in OT
