Arizona doesn't play with poise and maturity. Not playing smart basketball.

UConn taking control as expected.

This is a nail biter.... is there a NBA future for Hall?

There goes one of my Final 4 picks. What a game Clemson.

He's played well enough this season to warrant a 2nd round pick or two-way contract. He's too small for a NBA center but he can be a stretch 4.

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.

Wow!

Congrats, Clemson. Was not expecting this. A big upset.
Headed to the Elite 8 for the first time since the early '80s.

I had AZ making it to the Championship game , losing to Houston on my bracket. Crazy

Yeah, they have a recent history of dumb guard play. Allonzo Trier comes to mind.

Need to get back the days when they had great guards. Hopefully Bradley is that guy. They also have 3 4 star recruits including a big SF in top recruit Carter Bryant (who chose AZ over Duke and Louisville) and a 7 footer.

Yup, same. Had AZ in the Final Four. In fact, the championship game vs Houston. With the Coogs winning it.

Great season for AZ, though.
They'll be back.

That does it for me as for as the final game, 1 still available.

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.

Larson for a senior played with no maturity. Boswell's dip in play has really hurt them this game. Dude was stroking good early and now has zero confidence.

Dan Hurley talking about his wife during the tournament? LOL I smell trouble in paradise!
