Sweet 16 Thread

[pdub]

I dont think I've been to a paid sporting event alone.

Just got my ticket. I'm stoked. Never been to a basketball game alone.

We're 2-0 in Sweet 16 games that I've attended.

theyre not worse alone....

Are they better alone?

If you are so inclined, feel free to hit me up Mjl.
I'll be happy to buy you a shabbat dinner (or at least a beer - borei p'ree hagafen ) in the UC.

I think I have been to at least 50 and possibly closer to 100.
Mostly out of town but sometimes in Chicago.
If my poor memory serves me right, I have never sat next to / near someone that I didn't get along with fairly well. Even those who were fans of the opponent of the team I was rooting for.

This team is going to make a few people here lose their shit.

And KU would dominate UNC in this matchup. Hansbrough vs Wilt would be hilarious.

Hansbrough would get eaten alive, as would any UNC player looking to score in the paint. Pierce as a default shooting guard would be fun; him or Vaughn trying to guard Jordan would not be fun. No one would beat that UCLA team, though.

I'm 100% good with that KU team...I'd probably change one or two, but I have no complaints for the most part.

It's our 4 best players plus our best modern PG. For pure quality of play, I might rather have Miles than Vaughn but not enough to argue about.

[pdub]

Jacque Vaughn ( 2nd team AA ) over NPOY Frank Mason is silly.

Mason: .778 Crimscore, 20.9 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 5.2 APG, 49% FG, 47% 3FG.
Vaughn: .506 Crimscore, 10.2 PPG, 2.4 RPG, 6.2 APG, 42% FG, 33% 3FG.

I get why you have three bigs in there, because we have great bigs, and Collison was the better overall Jayhawk, but if we are making a working team that doesn't clog the lane, give me Vonte or Hinrich as my '2' with Pierce as my 3.

Then it's Manning and Wilt.
Realllly tough loosing Collison.

Thursday
Arkansas (+8.5) vs. Gonzaga
Michigan (+4.5) vs. Villanova
Texas Tech (-1) vs. Duke (!!!)
Houston (+2) vs. Arizona

Movements:

Arkansas (+9.5) vs. Gonzaga
Michigan (+5) vs. Villanova
Texas Tech (-1) vs. Duke
Houston (+1.5) vs. Arizona

I think Gonzaga blows Arkansas out but the other 3 look to truly be tossups.

[NDballer13]

I just got Texas Tech as a pick 'em.

[CrimsonNBlue]

I just got Texas Tech as a pick 'em.

That's pretty good. MGM has Tech as -1.5.

[Mjl]

Tech seems like a bad matchup for Duke. I think it'll either be very low scoring if Tech isn't hitting shots, or Tech will win by 15+.

[pdub]

The Tech game is going to ride on how the officials call the contact.
Raiders are physical.

[Sparko]

Pound the floor, then fall down. Ratface is going to get his calls.

[randylahey]

You think Duke isn't gonna get calls on coach k's final tourney?

[PhDhawk]

Coach K sucks

[KUTradition]

Coach K sucks

^^^^

[Cascadia]

You guys are going to send randy into another meltdown

[randylahey]

If I was starting a program today, I'd take Scott drew over coach k hands down

[PhDhawk]

Hot Take:

I'd hire the 51 year old over a 75 year old to start a program.
