UNC

My Elite 8 bracket is GONE. Busted. But it's been fun.

[jkvonny]

Wow, the Nelson kid blocked the long shot at the end after missing FTs.
Congrats to Bama advancing to Elite 8 in decades, too. Upset over UNC.

Rematch of the college football NC games, Bama/Clemson next round. No longer football schools.

Iowa State hanging around

Anyone impressed by Grant?

6'10 with a handle. Not sure if this was just a random good game or if this kid has legit potential as a pro.

He came to Bama to get drafted. He's been playing poorly most of the season until TODAY. He def. has a nice offensive game, and he has decent eye for passing too. I don't know if one game is enough to get drafted. I think he has 1 more year of eligibility. We'll see how things fall out in the pre-draft process in a month or two.

He needs a bit more confidence in his own game, assertiveness. And some muscle.

Watch on YouTube

He seems to be explosive for his size, so I wouldn't be shocked to see him on a roster.

Hope Clemson wins it all now. Would make me feel a little better.

Not me. I’m rooting against them. I’m pulling for UNC

I always liked you. Come on over to the best side.

Smh

Same man same. March madness is kind of like going to Vegas. After 2 days you’re just mentally exhausted

Would make more sense to come out this year, next years draft is a lot more loaded.

Like was said on page one. UConn goes back to back. Only team that can beat them (on a neutral court) IMO is Purdue.

Yes, very good handles for a tall lanky kid. Could be a legit pro somewhere. NBA, G League, overseas, etc

Now someone just needs to beat UCONN and I’ll be happy with anyone winning if it’s not Duke.

We both ended the night with L's.

Disagree. Purdue's perimeter players are too small and wimpy to match UConn's defensively. That's their achilles heel. I think Tennessee can stop them. And Houston. both teams got tough physical defenders through the lineup. UConn isn't shooting the 3 well in the tournament so that's going to help defensive teams.

UCONN is going to run away with this thing...I don't see anyone beating em

UConn's just been steady through the year. Playing the same way. That looks like a freight train. They're getting stronger as the tournament goes. They CAN have a bad game like anyone so it'll take that IMO.

Oh agreed. They’re the most well oiled machine right now. It’s going to take a team to be on their A game and for UConn to have an off night. But it’s March baby, anything can happen!

[jkvonny]

Cyclones battled hard, not enuff offense.

Congrats to Illinois!
1st Elite 8 trip since the 2005 season (lost to UNC in a close championship game) for the Illini.

[Duke4life831]

Man what a night. Caleb Love gets bounced and UNC gets bounced and so ends the 5 year career of Bacot.

What a great night!
