Hook 'em!

 

[Ale Xander]

Go orange, all shades

 

[loshjott]

#5 on SDSU (not in now) looks like he’s wearing a wrestling uniform. Snug.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Maybe the new basketball really are a problem. Ugly shooting so far.

 

[loshjott]

The Bama coach actually takes the sideline interview seriously.

 

[canderson]

The Bama coach actually takes the sideline interview seriously.

If only he took criminal behavior and murder seriously.

 

[canderson]

That was dirty as hell.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

I know it’s close, but I’m not having any fun watching this game.

 

[Tony C]

I know it’s close, but I’m not having any fun watching this game.

I am. What's not fun about a potential big upset?

 

[canderson]

God I hope SDSU wins.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

I am. What's not fun about a potential big upset?

It’s fun now. The first half was a slog.

 

[canderson]

It’s fun now. The first half was a slog.

I agree with you. Ugly basketball.

 

[ifmanis5]

God I hope SDSU wins.

They are in good shape. That was a monster dunk.

 

[ilol@u]

Really poor officiating. Alabama is getting worked by the refs.

 

[Tony C]

Yep, it was. Was that last one a block by Miller or did the rim block it..ie, did he just not elevate enough?

 

[Tony C]

ah...a block, yeah.

 

[ifmanis5]

Alabama can't get stops.

 

[ilol@u]

If both Alabama and Houston loses today; that would be a historical moment that both #1s lose in the same day on round of 16, correct?

 

[Ale Xander]

Only got to watch the last 10 minutes or so but this is great

hope Steve Fisher is enjoying it from upstairs

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Wow, that was NOT a tie-up

 

[ifmanis5]

'Bama finally pressing. A bit too late in my book but I guess that's something they've not needed to do this year until tonight.

 

[Ale Xander]

Oh crap

 

[AB in DC]

Bama may have just found SDSU's achilles heel.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

SDSU looks pretty rattled.

 

[ilol@u]

I feel like this is too late for Alabama. That 12-0 run was a killer by SDSU

 

[canderson]

SDSU flat out choking

 

[Ale Xander]

One hell of a choke attempt

 

[Ale Xander]

The one guy Bama doesn’t want at the line I think

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Stop committing stupid fouls Alabama.

 

[loshjott]

No 1s in the elite eight?

 

[ifmanis5]

Huge block. That might do it.

 

[Ale Xander]

Hurricanes pulling away

2 Soflo teams in the elite eight is unexpected for sure

 

[canderson]

That block should end it. Go away, Alabama.

 

[Ale Xander]

No 1s in the elite eight?

These number ones were paper tigers

 

[Remagellan]

Are there any one seeds remaining?

 

[Ale Xander]

UConn Gonzaga is like the de facto championship game

 

[Ale Xander]

Are there any one seeds remaining?

Princeton is a one - five

 

[ifmanis5]

Nantz watch, how is he holding up?

 

[Ale Xander]

Nantz watch, how is he holding up?

His bracket is toast

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Are there any one seeds remaining?

Houston, for now.

 

[Tony C]

That block should end it. Go away, Alabama.

searching for a lame pun about how they need to put away their guns, but...hey, nothing snappy coming to mind.

Wish the cops were waiting for Miller at the airport but alas I know they won’t. Knowing that loss was largely on him sits nicely though.

UConn Gonzaga is like the de facto championship game

No faith in Texas? They’re really good.

 

[Ale Xander]

There may actually be more people at the Rays home opener than the Yum Center on Sunday

Assuming Houston is toast (I had Texas beating them Sunday but hey go Miami) one of SDSU, Creighton and Princeton will make the Final Four.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Alabama had a really good team and a clear path to the championship game. This was a huge missed opportunity for the program.

Losing to a blue state coastal school, something something woke hive mind?

Don’t need Houston to lose. One of the latter three will make FF no matter what
