Can you be a blue blood team and a cindarella team?

Michigan will be the only school left of the elite 8 that's east of the Mississippi.

 

[wilson reborn]

So much parity in college basketball these days that the seeds seem to only be numbers.

There’s no parity. The West Coast rules.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

PAC-12 massively under seeded.

Oregon vs Oregon State title game?

 

[hawkedoff]

Sloppy game. If course oregon looks like crap

 

[Franisdaman]

3 PAC 12 teams in the Final 4 is what I am now rooting for

Oregon State over Houston
UCLA over Michigan
Oregon or USC over Gonzaga

Arkansas or Baylor will round out the Final 4

 

[like-woahh]

A game like this is hard to ref. I think the refs have really let them play for the most part. Well officiated in my opinion but most Iowa fans complain about the refs in every game.

I think this game was well officiated, it was actually refreshing compared to the shit show we watched during the B1G regular season this year.

 

[Michael1969]

Half of the final 8 will be schools located in the Pacific time zone.

 

[iahawks10]

FSU Michigan was a mess too. Of course the bald B1G ref was in the game.

That game had two officials that did a ton B1G games. DJ Carstensen and Brian Dorsey (the other bald shorter one).

 

[Franisdaman]

I demand that 3 PAC 12 teams advance to the Final 4

thank you

I guess that explains how Dickinson only got 2 fouls.

Where was this Oregon team last week?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Of course Oregon is going to get blown out.

 

[Mitch122]

Predictably, Oregon looks pretty bad in their next game after they could do no wrong against Iowa

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Idk looks like USC slowing game down and playing good D. How the hawks play really gives teams like Oregon an advantage and play loose. Something USC isn't giving Oregon

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

FU Oregon. Couldn't play like dog crap last week? Had to hit every damn shot they threw up.

I remember them banking in a 3 and thinking... "Sometimes it just isn't your day".

Good point. Playing defense, is always a good idea

Or maybe they're just playing against a very good athletic defense.

Oregon throwing up bricks

 

[QChawks]

Oregon looks like 💩

BAU

 

[MAXIMUSHAWKEYE]

Oregon not hitting their 3's. Also no easy transition baskets, USC putting on a clinic.

 

[Michael1969]

Oregon on pace to score about half of what they did on Monday.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Or maybe they're just playing against a very good athletic defense.

Soooo, you're telling me that JBo and an injured Connor and an injured CJF were playing good D? 🤷‍♂️

 

[Mitch122]

Sweet offensive possession Oregon. 2 guys on the left side of the court pass it back and forth to each other 4 times and a force a contested 3

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Yet somehow there are people on this board that think we would lose to Oregon 10/10 times.
confidence is a funny thing with kids.

 

[iahawks10]

A lot of wide open three misses. Oregon isn’t banking any threes either.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

I felt Iowa went into panic mode too early in the second half. Leading to sloppy/rushed offense and breakaway dunks. Just an ugly finish to the season.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Trust me... I would love to say Oregon played lights out and would lose to no one last week. I think partially its true but like you said... play tighter D and the game really evens out IMO

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

They didn't drill it like they did against Iowa? Impossible

Iowa just has terrible F**king defense.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Exactly. They were hitting everything us and now they are barely making 30% of their shots.

 

[Fan In Black]

pfft. Fluck. Ducks going to put 70 up in 2nd half.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Oregon throwing up bricks

Guess they blew their wad in the FIRST game of the tourney. Too bad that was Iowa instead of VCU 🤬

 

[littlez]

They look terrible because USC actually plays defense, something we refuse to do.

 

[iahawks10]

Someone also said he would bet against Iowa vs every Sweet 16 team except Loyola. Take that into consideration.

 

[pocha444444]

Amazing what can happen when a team plays defense.

 

[NI hawk]

Iowa giving up the most dunks in a NCAA tournament game in 5 years does lots for a teams confidence. How the hell does that happen?
