Bama/UNC has been great. Almost a shame only one can make it to the E8.

Clone’s playing Bruceketball level offense now.

That’s insulting to oscar tbh.

UCONN is a T1000

This game was great. The first half was a scene from Backdraft. Kirk Douglass doesn't make it out, you guys.

The second half was wild. It was amazing how Henry just sparked, then the whole offense just became "just dribble down and give Henry the ball until he misses it" and it didn't just work, but he rough ridin' steamrolled them. That kid caught NBA Jams level of fire and could be stopped. He was the best big in the country for 7-10 minutes last night.

10/10 enjoyable.

They are looking awesome so far.
As others have said, it is amazing how many nattys that have collected relative to the small amount of hype (compared to Duke, UNC, KU, UK) they get during the regular season.
We'll see if Houston can reclaim their regular season mojo today.

It's really impressive is UConn's ability to just get Natty's. They have a relatively small amount of F4's (6) and a relatively large number of Championships (5). It's like if they get a certain way in they are inevitable. Most schools drop off with some amount of predictability.

Every coach that has been hired at UCONN in the last 35 years has won a Natty.

How big is #30 for NC State? He looks like 350 lbs on TV.

catastrophe · « **Reply #141 on:** March 29, 2024, 07:10:27 PM »

Marquette looked broken in the first half of that game. Dude who hadn’t hit a shot all day got fouled on a 3 pointer at the end of the half and missed all 3 FTs.

He’s a legit OL type

NC State is having the run every team that going into their conference tournament with no hope of being in unless they win that is having. Good lord it's impressive

I *think* I saw DaBigTrain there behind the basket.

Nice little undercard for the Houston game

nc state is fun.

sys · « **Reply #147 on:** March 29, 2024, 09:03:24 PM »

it would be good if nc state advanced and at the same time unc and duke lost.

Would love that.

Also, NC State also high on the overall conversion rate. 2 Nattys, just 3 (so far) final 4s, and this is the 7th (what!?) E8

CHONGS · « **Reply #149 on:** March 29, 2024, 10:35:06 PM »

No little guys in the E8 this year. Seems strange without one.

3 ACC
2 SEC
2 Big Ten
1 Big East
