Round of 32 Open Thread, Redux

Fred Hoiberg’s bunch giving the Buckeyes all they can handle. Here’s to more competitive basketball (though Marquette/Butler was epic), and two blue losses today.

    Temple is barely shooting 30 percent…and beating the 1 seed. Credit them for an excellent defensive game plan, and for executing it. Color me impressed.

  2. elvislives 03/24/2013 at 4:52 PM #

    Agreed. Temple is executing and playing solid defense.

    Indian will lose, IMO, because they look tired. Their cuts are slow, and they’re beginning to foul. Maybe they’re choking?

    Nantz aggressively rooting for IU. Go Owls!

    Dude got the ball blocked back into his face. Have some.

    You guys are crazy, Mrs. Zeller is smokin hot.

    “Mrs. Zeller is smokin hot”

    Well, she does look like she might have been on fire at some point in the past.

    You called the big shot culprit, nice one.

  8. redcanine 03/24/2013 at 5:03 PM #

    The Olidipolice just locked this one down.

    Oladipo beats ’em.

  10. BJD95 03/24/2013 at 5:04 PM #

    He won it on O and D. Helluva player.

    Big 10 skates by again. Minnesota and Illinois left to play.

  12. BJD95 03/24/2013 at 5:08 PM #

    I give Minny a pretty good (like 40 percent) chance. I would be surprised if the Illini advance.

  13. Wulfpack 03/24/2013 at 5:08 PM #

    Wyatt kept Temple in it but he couldn’t keep it up. Oladipo really limited his touches late n the game. And just great defense at the end by IU. It wasn’t pretty but they move on. They will have their hands full with Cuse especially if Hull’s shoulder is out of whack. Gotta bombs away with that Orange zone.

    Anybody think Creighton has a shot against Duke to give the Missouri Valley two in the Sweet 16?

  15. BJD95 03/24/2013 at 5:14 PM #

    Yes. If Duke isn’t super hot from the perimeter, Creighton has a puncher’s chance. I’m certainly rooting for the Jays. And the Jayhawks.

  16. redcanine 03/24/2013 at 5:17 PM #

    I wish I was back to a human. It sure is tough being a werewolf.

  17. Wufpacker 03/24/2013 at 5:19 PM #

    Not sure Creighton’s bigs are quite big enough down low, and not sure they have anyone that can stop Curry.

  18. Wulfpack 03/24/2013 at 5:20 PM #

    Maybe McDermott will have a Wyatt-type game. Jays and Jayhawks. I like it.

  19. Wufpacker 03/24/2013 at 5:23 PM #

    Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk.

    Beat that Tar Heel ass.

  20. BJD95 03/24/2013 at 5:29 PM #

    Both these teams look drunk.

  21. Wulfpack 03/24/2013 at 5:31 PM #

    Kansas looks horrible. Horrible.

  22. Wulfpack 03/24/2013 at 5:33 PM #

    It is big versus small, and so far small is out in front. Kansas must convert down low and get offensive boards. They will not outrun UNC in this game. Remember, UNC ran with Miami up to the very end.

  23. TheAliasTroll 03/24/2013 at 5:38 PM #

    friggin Kansas

  24. TheAliasTroll 03/24/2013 at 5:38 PM #

    Withy looking like Vandy early on

  25. Wulfpack 03/24/2013 at 5:40 PM #

    Kansas can’t hit a shot. Really poor showing thus far.
