Soft swinging

Soaking even

And I thought BYUs offense was unstoppable, sheesh. Bama’s hotter than a gay man, in a sauna, grilling hotdogs covered in hot sauce.

Soft swinging

U mean soaking him

 

[Die4Cy]

If it’s Duke vs bama to go to final four I’m for bama all day

Bama likely loses next round. Shot their wad in this one and didn't save enough for Saturday.

Credit to those watching relatively fresh off a Cyclone exit. Watching would make me sad

Soaking even

We typed the same thing at the same time haha

 

[madguy30]

yea if you get 14 teams into the tourney you better have a lot making the elite 8

Didn't the B1G have like 11 one year and only one team made the Elite Eight?

Loyola Marymount has been in two Sweet Sixteens. They scored 75 in 1961 and 62 in 1990 (same year they scored 149 against Michigan)

Ironically, the 62 in 1990 was vs. Alabama in a 62-60 win for the Lions! The Tide played the game to their tempo, but the Lions were still good enough to win. That I knew.

What I looked up is that the 62 points snapped a streak of 12 straight games that Loyola Marymount had scored 100 points or more. That was a fun, fun LMU team!

Loyola Marymount did what Alabama is doing tonight almost every single game that season. They were super amazing.

Don't think I'll be able to watch Ole Miss. Just cheer on MSU from afar.

I'd begrudgingly agree on that match up.

Only two teams I’ll root for going forward are Houston and Texas Tech. Duke and Michigan State would be the last two I’d ever root for.

114 by Arizona in 1976.

Most since 1985 is Oklahoma with 108 in 1988.

So the high score for 1976-1985 was between 108 and 114?

 

[madguy30]

Ok so the NEXT round will be interesting, right?

I'm not finding it sad, but it's really dull. The worst of tournaments drags on.

What a lame-ass tournament this is shaping up to be

 

[isuno1fan]

Bama coach just say they gotta be better on D against Duke? Not giving Az a chance?

But really high ratings with brackets turning out like the women's tournament most years.

I wouldn’t give AZ a chance either.

Arizona did in 1976 without the three point play!

I honestly don't remember when they made that switch but it was sometime in the 1980s. So, the 1988 OU game could have been with or without the three point line? I do remember that some conferences played with the three point line and some didn't and some played with the shot clock and some didn't for a few years before both were adopted nationally.

What say you @HoopsTournament?
