Houston needs to make FTs to seal it

ATM just not going away enough for this to feel comfortable.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Not even close to a 3 there

I expect @HoopsTournament will answer your question with an udpate.

This is headed toward the chalkiest Sweet 16 I can recall (UH/A&M still in contention; SDSU/Yale lopsided, but still in first half).

The only times that all #1 and #2 have advanced to the Sweet Sixteen are 1989, 1995, 2009 and 2019 (and very soon 2024)

The lowest sum of seeds is 49 (in 2009 and 2019). If Both games hold, the sum of seeds this year will be 53 (if I did my math right). NC State is keeping it from being the chalkiest.

There will be 14 teams from the 6 Power conferences (Gonzaga and San Diego State are the exceptions). 2016 and 2017 had 15 teams. And 14 teams have happened a handful of times.

Jesus the end of this Houston A&M game is going to take forever

12 of 16 are top 16 meaning 1-4 seeds. Remaining 4 are 2 5's a 6 and 11.


Pretty chalky sweet sixteen and I'm fine with it.

Game back on

 

[ISUTex]

aTm out of timeouts. Free throws and 3's for the next 5 minutes. Not over with these refs.

 

[madguy30]

Houston might blow this.

 

[Cyched]

Don't UNI this Houston...

 

[StLouisClone]

Houston is toast if this game goes to OT

 

[CysRage]

This is feeling like 2016 A&M-UNI game where UNI blew a 12 point lead with a minute to play. Similar circumstances with all of Houston’s main guys are fouled out or in deep foul trouble.

 

[ISUTex]

Body checked out of bounds. No call. Watch Houston get called for a flagrant.

 

[ISU_Guy]

A&M just pulling sheet out of ther rear and may win this if Houston can’t figure it out

Edit: and just as I posted they foul a three point shooter

 

[simply1]

Jfc Houston

 

[ISUTex]

Investigate these refs. This is really bad.

 

[madguy30]

Houston is toast if this game goes to OT

Might be toast anyway.

Houston relaxed a little, and have flinched when ATM tightened things up.

 

[twincyties]

This is tragic

 

[Cmonwhatarewedoinghereman]

The bama game and the last minute of this Houston game is why college bb doesn’t catch on more. Just awful to watch.

it was 44 seconds. UNI had a 12 point lead with 44 sec left. The single biggest meltdown I have ever seen.
