Elite 8 Game Thread

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

that works three times, might as well do it

Right — once you get to 9, stop, unless desperate. But once K-state got to 6, they tried to play straight up d instead of fouling the rebounder and Loyola used up the shot clock partly and got a three point play. The worst scenario. Three points. The clock ran. And you burned foul 7 without forcing the one and one.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Good God, make your free throws please.

 

[Infield Infidel]

That TWA bag is so cool

 

[johnmd20]

This is ova. Nice work Loyola.

 

[DJnVa]

So, that was cool.

 

[shawnrbu]

How soon can the Big East swap DePaul for Loyola?

This got a big laugh

 

[RedOctober3829]

I absolutely love Porter Mosher

Those kids watching from back in Chicago don't look nearly drunk enough. Have times changed since I was in college?

 

[OnWisc]

This NCAA student athlete ad seems really aggressive. They all seem really angry. I don't know what I did to make them so mad at me. It's offputting.

They have cameras on them. Gotta keep it kind of chill. I bet some dorm rooms/off campus houses are going pretty crazy right now.

Gotta give K State some credit for making a good run with out their best player. They just looked like they had no idea what they were doing on offense though.

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

Touch to the forehead=flagrant.

What a joke

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Help us obiagu, you’re our only hope.

We had cameras on us when PC got to the Elite 8. We burned a couch and an old boat in the middle of Eaton Ave in Providence.

Florida State has scored 4 points in the past 12 minutes.

 

[Ale Xander]

2 of the 3 refs went to Ohio State based on some of the calls and no calls

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Michigan doing it on the glass now.

 

[chilidawg]

Matthews for Michigan is pretty impressive, just keeps making plays in all phases of the game.

 

[thehitcat]

A three finally drops!

 

[shawnrbu]

Michigan up double digits shooting 4 for 22 from 3.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Florida St. has had some horrific sequences on the offensive end down the stretch.

 

[shawnrbu]

Should have started fouling Simpson 2 or 3 minutes ago.

 

[thehitcat]

What an achilles heel. The guy you want to initiate your offense is essentially a 50% free throw shooter.

 

[shawnrbu]

What a soft call.

 

[McBride11]

Fsu should have had an and 1 on the 3 and then a tie up on the in bound. Ouchie refs

 

[DeadlySplitter]

wasted the 1 and 1 misses it seems

 

[thehitcat]

Not to sound like the fan I am but the refs have a long way to go to make up for the shit they've called the first 38 minutes.

2 of the 3 refs went to Ohio State based on some of the calls and no calls

 

[DeadlySplitter]

FSU should have gotten a 2 on the last possession

 

[Ale Xander]

FsU is being given gifts and they f up

 

[BigSoxFan]

This is FSU in a nutshell

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Boy, if they can win two more with this free throw shooting that would be something.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Michigan should be calling timeout on the inbounds and getting Simpson off the court. I'm not even sure Simpson is good enough defensively that it makes sense to have him out there at all.

 

[Ale Xander]

Dumb shot after dumb shot

 

[Soxy]

What the hell was that shot

 

[shawnrbu]

Roy Williams is worse than Leonard Hamilton?

 

[BigSoxFan]

Is FSU on the take?!

 

[shawnrbu]

Can we just move Duke/Villanova to Monday night?

 

[RedOctober3829]

FSU is so poorly coached it’s embarrassing

 

[thehitcat]

No foul? I'll take it. The Maize and Blue dance on to a date with Loyola.

 

[bosockboy]

Loyola will beat Michigan.

 

[Greg29fan]

Even Dr. Kevorkian thinks Florida State pulled the plug early there.

 

[speedracer]

Michigan should be calling timeout on the inbounds and getting Simpson off the court. I'm not even sure Simpson is good enough defensively that it makes sense to have him out there at all.

Michigan definitely needs Simpson out there as much as possible in the endgame, he's by far the best perimeter defender (completely stuffed FSU's last 3 attempt). Just let Abdul-Rakhman and whoever else handle the ball more.

 

[LesterFan]

FSU was assuring they covered +4.5

 

[shawnrbu]

Loyola will beat Michigan.

I don't see Loyola winning. Similar style should favor the team with more talent and the more experienced coach. Wagner will be the difference.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Duke/Nova beat Loyola Monday night.

 

[Average Reds]

That was ugly, but a win is a win.

FSU’s length vs. Michigan’s shooting will be interesting to see. I think Michigan wins a tight one.

Good call.

 

[speedracer]

Duke/Nova beat Loyola Monday night.

I could see things turning out badly for Duke in the championship if a barrage of 3's forces them out of zone, but Villanova seems like a better version of Loyola and Michigan.
