Tech needs to slow down on offense.

Agree. Williams and Toppin just need to bang the rest of the way. Keep Clayton off the line.

Also, it's hard not to be a tiny bit annoyed here. Tech has a real shot at the Final 4. We've had teams just as good and just haven't gotten any lucky breaks. On one hand, we've been really, really consistent over the last 15 years. I bet there aren't many teams that have as many Sweet 16's as we have. But we haven't been able to break through. Just some weird bad luck and bad breaks.

19 - 5 free throw difference. Refs are really impartial.

i'd rather have Alabama in than Puke U.

Absolutely not. Oats is terrible. I don't mind the Duke coach.

I get it. I just think would be hilarious for the SEC to miss the FF completel.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Yeah, it is hard to hate him.

Compared to the last several coaches especially. I only hate them now because they're an in-conference rival. But actually he's got a real classy, hard-working thing going down there that's very hard to hate.

 

[JP4CY]

Thought Toppin shuffled his feet there.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Absolutely not. Oats is terrible. I don't mind the Duke coach.

I actually like the Duke coach. But it's going to take the long time for the stench of decades of Coach K to wear off.

What was Tech’s NIL budget?

 

[CYDJ]

Here, let me get the ball and side step without dribbling and hit a 3....

Takes breaks and things like two guys playing at an overall elite level.

Tech has Toppins and then Williams has been quite the closer.

Hope they can hang on here. Every time I think Tech is about to shut the door they give up an offensive board and Florida gets a 3 or something.

A lot

 

[helechopper]

Great game. Please hang in there Tech.

(75-69, Tech. 2:43 left)

 

[Cyched]

Uh oh

 

[helechopper]

Might want to cover Halp.

 

[madguy30]

Free throws and offensive boards.

This is Florida's game now.

 

[JP4CY]

FTs FTs FTs

 

[HoopsTournament]

FT misses could come back to haunt them.
