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

Well, Clemson deserved to win that. I've seen enough of these seniors now after that. Excited for Bradley next year. Lewis too along with the recruits.

Horrible coaching at the end. Beyond words tbh

I was fine with his coaching. Not much you can do when they can't buy a 3. He made adjustments to have them drive over and over and it got them close, but when they switched to zone that made it tougher.

Blame Love, Larsson, Boswell, not Lloyd. The main players just choked. Ballo did well but choked at the line.

Yeah that's why I look for poise and team maturity. Intangible stuff in teams outside of pure stats and talent. They were tight to start and I just didn't like that. You're out west, hours from home, you can get to play at home if you advance. Everything is ahead for them. But they were tight instead of being energized by the opportunity. Bad sign. Wrong mentality.

Hurley's been talking about how great his wife's suppor has been during interviews apparently. LOL. All the championship runs and recruiting takes a toll.

Caleb Love is always due for a game where he does this.

13pts on 5-18 shooting and 0-9 from 3.

Then add the 1 assist to 3 turnovers. When he’s on, dude can go on a heater. But he’s always a big time candidate to shoot you out of a game.

Not just him. The whole group of experienced guards. Boswell and Larson are supposed to be snipers from outside. Bradley and Love are supposed to be drive and kick guys. Their shooters failed, have been cold. And were afraid to shoot. Love tried to do too much as a result.

We always blow it. Hate to be negative but I figured this would happen. At least I can watch the rest of the tournament without any pressure.

When Boswell was on his game as a distributor, not just a shooter, he was good at getting Arizona into the right offensive sets, and knew how to set up his teammates like good point guards do. And Arizona was at their best when he was on his game. Right now, he's just bad with his craft. Az had been riding their talent without him. Now that a mature point guard play was needed, they fell apart. They were missing just a few more mature plays from the point guard, and that might've been the difference.

True

Hope that they patch things up soon!

My flair's Bama because I like Oats' coaching (not affiliated with that team in any other way). But UNC is too big for Bama everywhere and as much as I'd like to see an upset, I don't think it's gonna happen. It could, if UNC makes mistakes and Bama plays outta their minds.

Go Tides

[___Rand___]

Go Tides

Surprisingly competitive right now.

[___Rand___]

Almost half way through the first half, and Iowa State is stuck at 6 points. OMG what is this!!!!!!!

[Dan33185]

Ryan is on fire in the UNC game, 4-4 from 3.

[jkvonny]

Bama and UNC game been back and forth so far.

Illinois been on top of Iowa State the whole games so far. Cyclones can't seem to buy a bucket.

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

[___Rand___]

I figured UNC would beat Bama with their size and paint game NOT with their 3 point shooting.

[___Rand___]

Ryan is on fire in the UNC game, 4-4 from 3.

34% shooter. And the other guy is a 16% shooter is 2 of 3. That's UNC's lead. But UNC's body language is very positive. They are playing confident. They are not tight like Arizona was, so I don't see them chocking this game.

[Mk0]

lmao that tipped ball went off the backboard and into a tip in. That was something else.
