Houston!!!!!

I have a soft spot for the old Southwest Conference teams. Saw all the games in Barnhill Arena during college.

Could never root for their coach. He should be banned from coaching for being caught cheating.

Arkansas fighting but man Baylor is very good

Davion Mitchell is going to make an NBA team very happy 

 

[Jack Williams]

I said this when they beat Oral Roberts and I’ll say it again, it’s amazing Arkansas made it this far when they just simply can’t make shots. 

they get by on toughness and battling around the rim. This was an impressive run to the elite eight considering their deficiencies. One or two sharpshooters on this roster could’ve made the difference

I really don’t like either Houston or Baylor. 

I usually would pull for Gonzaga but I’d rather not see them go undefeated this year of all years. 

I guess it’s Michigan USC or UCLA for me

Rooted hard for Arkansas. . .fun team. . .Lack of 3 pointers and too many ill-timed turnovers killed them

and, that kid Mitchell. . .he gets downhill as good as anyone. . .

 

[Lambsbball]

Arkansas is fun to watch. They made some gutsy plays. Foul trouble hurt them late in the game.

Baylor's guards are too talented. Their win was expected and well deserved. Looking forward to the matchup against Houston. 

I expect Houston will be overwhelmed the same as Arkansas. Baylor's put together a great team. I hadn't seen them this year until the Sweet 16 game against Villanova.

I'm not sure who I'll support if Baylor stumbles against Houston. I may just watch some great ball and not support any team.

It's funny - I was thinking that what Sampson got rung up for is kind of ... quaint these days.

Yeah, Andy Katz was saying that his transgressions at IU aren't even against the rules anymore.  To believe he was so far outside the norm at the time is naive.  Especially for a UConn grad.    I kid 112.

Hey the way I see if, if he was willing to break the rules (when that particular rule was illegal), I'm sure he's willing to do it again.

My God prayers for the official.  I saw his stomach moving before they cut to commercial the first so he was breathing.  Saw the same when they briefly came back.

Gonzaga is scoring way too easily.

Timme is making everything. 

 

[Amaseinyourface]

A decent look from three is about the worst shot Gonzaga gets. 

 

[monte]

Ugly game so far

 

[Jack Williams]

Michigan is like the anti-St John’s. Couple good big men but not much else and it ended up costing them 

 

[Jack Williams]

Really rough NCAA Tournament for us east coasters

 

[fordham96]

Great job by Mick Cronin.  His teams always play hard sometimes not real pretty.

But enjoy the free stuff you will get at the Final Four because that is about all you will enjoy.  The Zags are going to end that run pretty quickly.

Yep  - a brief triumph for Cronin and his Norm-esque brand of ugly-it-up-and-keep-it-close basketball, but nobody is beating Gonzaga.  They haven't even broken a sweat in any of their games.  Playing at another level.

I really love watching Gonzaga play and hope they win it all but I expect a Gonzaga - Baylor final to be a really good one that I'll stay up past my bedtime to watch to the end. Probably the only real test they'll get to an undefeated season. Baylor's guards are really good but Baylor will have to find a way to deal with Timme to have a shot at winning.  And Suggs is unbelievably good in such an understated way.
