And to think....before you were sarcastic about this, you were actually serious. What crack were you on? Ammarite?

On a serious note, some other tidbits I have noticed:

- our women also got a tough draw with BYU. Out west. Bracket Setters hate teh aubrenz.

- today is zion vs Taco Bell Kajibuto fall or whatever his name is. Guy is a foot taller than Zion (7â€™7) and swears he wonâ€™t let him dunk. Ucf is also coached by Johnny Dawkins who played at duke with jay bilas when Jordan and Kenny smith were at unc. Just an interesting game all around.

- unc plays a team we creamed back in dec. we get the winner in kc next week so hereâ€™s hoping the huskies find some magic today. I personally believe unc is the best all round team in cbb. I know our tiggers aint skerrd of no goats but still....would rather have Washington.

- the tenn women got an 11 seed. Never thought id see that day. The tenn women also got bounced in the first round. Badly. This seemed unimaginable only a decade ago. I think summit was an even better coach than any of us realized.

He's Blue Devil through and through.

He has no place on the Pearl Bus/Ship, whatever it is called.

I'm sick of seeing and hearing about that dimbulb sack of meat from Duke. I usually like the Devils. But I don't like this kid. Not his fault that they're pouring attention on him, but he's dumber than a bag of busted biscuits. I really, really, really hoped they would lose and they would have if the stupid referees weren't deferential to his big doofus ass.

He apparently canâ€™t commit a charge.

His left forearm is registered on the do not call list.

6 games in 10 days is unsustainable... But I hate having all these days to cool off.

wesfau2 · « **Reply #430 on:** March 28, 2019, 09:18:18 AM »

First slate of Sweet 16 games tonight:

(4)FSU/(1)Gonzaga

(3)Purdue/(2)Tenn

(3)TexasTech/(2)Mich

(12)Oregon/(1)UVA

I'm all chalk for these matchups, though I think TT could give Michigan fits with their defense.

I think Tenn and UVA cruise.

Noles v Zags is the only game I think will carry any drama.

As for our game, exactly two of the "experts" have picked us to win: Jeff Sagarin's computer model and the coin flip of Clucko the Chicken.

Everyone else say's that we're plucky and spunky, but just can't compete with the superstars at UNC.

Let's make sure Jared and the boys get a peek at this stuff...

Depends on the mojo baby. We play like we did against Kansas or SEC Championship we can compete/beat any team I have seen including Team Zion.

This^^
We are vulnerable to the extent of how our three balls fall in the first half and what kind of intensity we have in the second half.

We can run with anybody and just need to transition the way we did against Kansas by not letting them get back in it by going to the line. They were on fire themselves in the second half but to our credit we didn't allow them to make it a halfcourt game.

Regardless of the opponent, if any combination of Harper, Okeke or Brown are sinking threes we are the most dangerous team in the tourney. We can get enough offensive rebounds and force enough turnovers to keep advancing.

As soon as he can wake Garman up, he'll be back.
