johnnydoom Not as much as Texas Tech gave it away, missing the front end of two one-and-ones, fouled when one second later the ball would be turned over to them, etc.
Just played badly down the stretch and gave the game away.

      johnnydoom Not at that moment, but the Crocs came through in the clutch!

      Meaning: Texas Tech screwed the pooch at the foul line. Had to make both of those 1 and 1 opportunities! Geezus

        it is interesting that of the four brackets in the Sweet 16 ….three of the matchups were number one against number two and in the fourth it was number one against number three. I hate to say it, but it looks like they ranked these teams pretty well.

          fatshot And that NIL makes a difference. Big schools with big NIL budgets plus the instant transfer. Eventually they will need a NIL Cap and we can talk cap space for colleges too.

              Exactly!

                Because of our weather issues I only get a half screen of the game alongside a half screen of the local weatherman giving tornado and flood updates.

                professor These guys can play!

                A maximum hustle game for sure! I can’t hear the calls (which I don’t mind), but the action is intense.

                  Walter Clayton Jr. is rock solid in the stretch 2 games in a row.

                  darpar What a comeback by Houston!👍👍

                  Unbelievable. I hope Laettner was watching and soiled himself. (Yes I am a KY alum) 🤣

                    It's the first time I can think of where a top seed (Houston) won and it felt like an upset with all of the Duke hype. Ought to be an athletic final for sure.
