All Things NCAA Tournament Games

[Holy Man]

I call myself a University of Minnesota sports fan, definitely, and like the Twins and used to like the Wolves before I couldn’t take their ineptitude any longer. I have a white hot hatred for everything Badgers, and I grew up in Madison.

We all have blind spots. Yours must be the Packers.

Hanging in with the Wolves for so long is noble, though.

No band. No media director. How's their NIL?

Here's some of the back story.

 

[jovs]

Bryan Greenlee sighting for FAU.

My Gopher back court is in the Sweet 16, Greenlee at PG, and Carr at SG. A little small but both are athletic, quick, and physical.

ROFL. Anyone see Nowell's (KSU) prayer bank three?

 

[stocker08]

KSU and MSU going to OT. In the other game.....Arkansas is getting bludgeoned by UConn.

 

[howeda7]

Sparty and K-State to OT. Great game. Mussy is getting smoked by UConn. Maybe he's distracted.

Shirt stays on

 

[stocker08]

Arkansas has scored the last 10 points to cut the lead to 19.

And then UConn hits a three.

How do you get faked out on that Sparty? That's the Braves sliding into 2nd base in the 1991 World Series bad...

I don't know if this has been mentioned but 8 of Kansas State's top 9 players are transfers.

So the last Big Ten team playing this season is Wisconsin. They're going to the NIT final four (the only P6 team to make it).

It’s fun for the fans when you get some good transfers and they play well together but hard to develop any loyalty to a team that just turns over every year. I miss when players stayed for 4 years.

Sure, but if you didn't like some players at least they don't stay very long!

 

[WindyCityGopher]

I haven’t seen a tournament game that reminded me of the ‘97 Sweet 16 double OT classic against Clemson. Until tonight. What a game.

In other news, the Big Ten’s title drought now at 23 years, and one in the last 34. Incredible.

 

[GophersInIowa]

I wondering the same thing.

 

[Nax5]

Big Ten eliminated before Elite 8. That's gotta be historically bad, right? I don't follow basketball too closely.

I'm pretty sure it's happened in the last 2-3 years. So no.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Let’s go FAU

 

[howeda7]

FAU up 7 on Tennessee at the under 8 time out. PSU should get Dusty May.

I don't want Dusty May going to another Big 10 school.

 

[Frink]

Classic Rick Barnes game out there with Tennessee and FAU. Tennessee physical to the point of being a little cheap. So far it's not getting it done for him though.

 

[howeda7]

If Kentucky fans have their way, the Gophers will have their choice of Matt Painter or Cal to replace Ben Johnson.

It would be nice if he were available a year from now.

 

[RogueGopher]

Former Gopher guard Bryan Greenlee going to the Elite Eight with FAU.

 

[GophersInIowa]

UCLA can’t buy a bucket

 

[Gilthorp57]

UCLA can’t buy a bucket

They're gassed, lack of a bench has caught up

 

[GophersInIowa]

They're gassed, lack of bench has caught up

They’ve been outscored 19 in the 2nd half.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

UCLA has had a harder time scoring in the last 12 minutes than I did as a high school freshman.

 

[howeda7]

What a choke job by Gonzaga

 

[Gilthorp57]

Stone cold shot for UCLA, wow

 

[GophersInIowa]

What a choke job by Gonzaga

That’s an understatement
