March Madness - Elite 8

[ZenMode]

Crazy that AZ has not been to the FF since 2001. They’ve had a lot of really good teams over the past 25 years.

We had our chance in 2014-2015, but Brandon Ashley got hurt and nobody.... literally nobody, including Aaron Gordon could guard Frank Kaminski.

Damn, Michigan on a 21-0. Barnes takes his second timeout.

 

[duluoz]

This is the Tennessee I expected to see earlier in the tourney.

2 things:
Cadeau looks so much better than he did this time last year (wish he would have stayed to play with Wilson and Veesaar… we may have been playing today)

Second: those two timeouts Barne’s called didn’t stop shit. Didn’t do ANYTHING

 

[C-Money]

It's too bad Arizona and Michigan can't play for the title. They have been the two best teams the majority of the season.

 

[Centerpiece]

No Team has ever come back from a halftime deficit this large in an Elite 8 game. Of course there’s a first time for everything, but today ain’t the day I don’t think. Does Good ole Rocky Top have it in them? I seriously doubt it.

Well one of them definitely will be playing for the title.

 

[Heelsandeers]

Not sure who I’d rather see in a title game vs duke. Both teams are capable

I guess Arizona since we already saw the Michigan matchup

I'd rather see a title game without dook.

 

[Heelsandeers]

Arizona higher floor Michigan higher ceiling?

Don’t feel good about this UConn team. Hope I am wrong

 

[hedge]

It's never wrong to not feel good about a UConn team...

I’d rather see a final four without dook

I thought Arizona should have been the overall #1 with dook 2 and Michigan 3.

Big advantage for dook having those two on the other side of the bracket. At least it's guaranteed the dookies will have to play one or the other if they make the championship game. Hopefully, UConn takes care of business today and it's all moot.

 

[Calheel]

If Duke wins the title by beating St John’s, UConn, Illinois, and Mich/Ariz, they will have earned it. That is not a gift path like in 2010.

Hate to admit it, but that's true.

All the commentators say Michigan and Arizona have been the two best teams all year, but the NCAA lines them up for a semifinal matchup.

The NCAA did not agree with the commentators. They seeded Duke No. 1 overall.

Yep, Zona/Michigan is definitely a championship level matchup. The selection committee and the NET definitely hooked dook up.
