Sweet Sixteen Open Thread

Apparently, this is the round where Miami takes a giant dump at midcourt. Sheesh.

    Not the best couple of days for Miami-Dade hoops teams…

    A rather uninspired effort. And they can blame it on Johnson being out all they want. I saw them play earlier in the year without him and they weren’t this bad.

    Fugly.

    Looking forward to the Fightin’ Doras against the scary animotronic wheat.

    Ohio State’s defense is f-cking terrible.

    Really hate seeing tOSU leading. I’d love to see Sean Miller’s team move on, especially since it has the bonus of making HWSNBN suffer.

    down year, man.
    down year.

    “Fightin’ Doras against the scary animotronic wheat.”

    I think I gotta pull for the Doras, but not sure why.

    I think it’s even funnier in a year where AZ was inconsistent and lost lots of games against weak opponents…they still blew the doors of the Fighten Sendeks twice.

    I wonder how deep in storage Wichita’s home jerseys were. But how can ya cheer against a play-in game winner?

    Swiper, no swiping!!

    Wow, hell of a last minute. Smart play to fake the Craft isolation, since that’s how they beat Iowa State.

  11. Wufpacker 03/28/2013 at 10:04 PM #

    Would have liked to have seen Sean and Co. move on, but since I have tOSU going to the final four I guess I can’t be too upset.

    I like Cuse’s chances tonight. But I’m wrong an awful lot, prediction-wise.

  13. Wufpacker 03/28/2013 at 10:16 PM #

    I agree BJD, and it bugs me to say that bcuz I’ve got the Hoosiers going to the final game (losing to ‘Ville). Didn’t expect ‘Cuse to have as much pluck as they have so far.

  14. BJD95 03/28/2013 at 10:20 PM #

    IU on pace to have “Gavin Grant at PG” turnovers for the game.

  15. Wufpacker 03/28/2013 at 10:28 PM #

    The latest Pack impersonators of the evening apparently.

    Wondering which team will have the honor in the doras/wheatmen nightcap.

  16. BJD95 03/28/2013 at 10:33 PM #

    The body language of the Hoosiers – like they’ve been run over by a truck. Will be interesting to see if Crean can light a fire at the half.

  17. Wufpacker 03/28/2013 at 10:46 PM #

    Looks like the doras of the lucky NCStateShit winners in that one so far.

  18. BJD95 03/28/2013 at 10:47 PM #

    Indiana showing some signs of life. Not the Doras.

    In the smallest (14 entry) pool I entered, I picked Scary Wheat and Syracuse to make the Elite Eight. I will be in the lead if these hold up…but my champ was Miami. Doh.

  19. Wufpacker 03/28/2013 at 11:01 PM #

    Maybe IU should move the Zellers down front and closer to the ‘Cuse bench.

  20. Wufpacker 03/28/2013 at 11:16 PM #

    LOL, ‘Cuse and Hoosiers just playing keep away there for a minute or so. That was kinda funny.

  21. WeAreCured 03/28/2013 at 11:38 PM #

    These late games sure are a bust.

  22. BJD95 03/28/2013 at 11:40 PM #

    You are watching two teams just dominate with their intensity. Cuse and Scary Wheat make you work all 40 minutes.

  23. WeAreCured 03/28/2013 at 11:46 PM #

    I’m pissed I had to miss the Ohio State game. I thought the Syracuse/Indiana game would make up for having to do so much work tonight. No.

  24. BJD95 03/28/2013 at 11:47 PM #

    Think Indiana makes one last run.

  25. WeAreCured 03/28/2013 at 11:50 PM #

    Poor LaSalle… Getting absolutely whipped in the Sweet 16 would trump the feat of making it to the Sweet 16 if I was on the team. At least for a few days. I hope they can come back a little.

    Wichita State/Ohio State should be a good game.
