****Official Elite 8 Thread****

Houston is going to get rekt in the final four.

Hope so, Kelvin Sampson should have never been allowed to be a head coach again.

100%

Oregon State has Zero to be ashamed of. Yeah it sucks losing and in the Elite 8, but they looked done at halftime. Predicted last in the conference? Hell of a time to get hot and make a rare tourney run for a major team that was out unless they won the conference tournament.

OSU was picked 12th in the PAC 12

Michigan was picked 9th in the B1G by CBS Sports

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

That final four will be stripped in a few years I’m sure

 

[Franisdaman]

when the CBS studio folks praise Kelvin Sampson, IU fans must have steam coming out of their heads

 

[Michael1969]

It drives me nuts watching commentators trying to re-write history. Clark Kellogg saying Sampson is one of the good guys.

Doesn’t say much for a school that hires a coach that had major violations at 2 different schools. Add Houston as another winning at all cost schools.

 

[LAhawkeye]

Up to #205 after Houston’s win!

UConn women going to their 13th consecutive Final 4

Baylor led 55-45 with 11:53 left in the game

UConn outscored them 24-12 the rest of the way to win 69-67

 

[Franisdaman]

IU or Arizona will be heading to the Women's Final 4

A great coach and molder of young men per twitter. Teaching kids that cheating is a good thing.

Not to get too far off-topic, reminds me of when someone like Dick Vitale will praise a coach by saying they have complete control of their program. But when that coach gets in trouble will say he believes the coach, because the coach looked him in the eye and said "I had no idea any of this stuff was going on." Wait, I thought he had complete control of his program.

 

[Hawkeyes4Life32]

Some of these names are great. Baylor has a starting Forward named Flo Thamba. Just imagine if he played for the Longhorns a few years ago to form the vaunted frontcourt of Mo Bamba & Flo Thamba

 

[Fan In Black]

Baylor is fun to watch.

 

[Michael1969]

Be interesting if Arkansas can make any sort of rally. Their defense needs to step up for it to happen. Baylor on pace to score 60 points in the 1st half.

I think the Razorbacks are out classed here. But that will pry be the KOD to Baylor 🤣

Here I was hoping for a basketball game tonight.

maybe you can make long sweet love with your lady friend instead.

 

[Michael1969]

I figured Baylor's offensive pace would slow down some, but it hasn't yet. I think they've scored on nearly every possession.

She is out of commission. TMI

Meyers mullet is a beut.

 

[Michael1969]

The good news...you make 6 straight shots....the bad news the margin stayed at 13.

 

[Fan In Black]

He is the Dwayne Shintius of the 21st century.

 

[Fan In Black]

this game is a nice change of pace from the prior games.

 

[HawkInArk]

We would be so athletically inferior to both these teams, it wouldn't be pretty....

Hope so, Kelvin Sampson should have never been allowed to be a head coach again.

Why? He was dinged for making improper phone calls during a restricted time period (which isn't even an NCAA violation now) and more seriously, lying about it. If the NCAA is going to ban for life every coach that lies to them, well then, goodbye Self, Miller, Boeheim and good ole clueless Uncle Roy to name a few. Sampson paid for his indiscretions and has proven to be a helluva coach, especially considering the NCAA is surely keeping an eye on him.

 

[Ronman]

I was so excited about those games last night, I forgot all about them and instead watched two of my favorite movies, The Maltese Falcon and The Third Man.

A ref just collapsed. Scary stuff, hope he is okay.

I just turned it on and saw a stretcher

 

[wilson reborn]

Very scary. Still not moving.

I'm glad they are at least cutting to commercials.

Looks responsive again. Best wishes.

 

[QChawks]

He looks okay thankfully

 

[QChawks]

Btw the Zags gonna win by 30

snoooozefest

 

[Moral]

I was hoping this might be a game. Just give Zaga the title now.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Gonzaga 17 - USC 4 six minutes into the game.

Could have been an episode of vasovageal syncope. Scary, but harmless.
Hope he is ok.

 

[Moral]

I thought USC might have the personnel to slow Timme. I am looking a bit incorrect.
