NCAA Basketball 2023-2024 - Page 49 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Maybe I'm holding onto the memory of how bad this team was earlier in the year, but I still have zero expectations of a final four run let alone a title. It would be funny if they won it with the worst team they've had in several years, and I guess if Virginia can do it anyone can. But I think the magic runs out against Purdue. There's no way they repeat the level they played at this weekend.

For sure. Each game is a new one. Hopefully they can carry the momentum to next week.

Purdue still has to make it. The tourney giveth and the tourney taketh.

This one is going to be a grind. MSU looks good so far.

I remember the days when the Zags were THE Cinderella.

pretty sure UNC has the record at 13 straight S16s

Ahh, it was from 81-93, but what I read cited 85-93, since that’s when the tourney expanded.

Well I hope this is just MSU’s best punch bc either UNC is playing full blown tard on offense or MSU just matches up too well on defense with enough to go with it as well on offense. Every shot so far seems so out of character and rushed and I assume for a reason bc MSU is athletic and really good.

That’s cool and all as long as he comes up with adjustments and they actually have the strength to get tougher and play smarter. We’re playing so dumb all around.

God Cadeau is so useless at shooting.

Ha notice every NC early round game the whole crowd is like 95% fans cheering for UNC, and flip the script for dook and even all their local fans seem like the minority at those games? I’ve never seen a NC based NCAA game where it seems like HCA for dook.

Wasn’t a fan of Woj taking that corner 3, but he made up for it running that break and finding RJ.

He’s why I have zero faith in us winning it all. Nice passing, gritty defense, nifty at getting to the lane here and there but outside of that it’s 4 on 5 every half court set. After what I saw vs Bama good luck playing 4 on 5 vs them. Same vs Zona.
