Sweet Sixteen Thread — Thurs/Fri

[ClassOf02]

Cliff vs Mag to kick things off.

 

[ClassOf02]

Defense will be optional in Bama/BYU game.

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Saw $534 last few rows in Newark for tonight

 

[Bayonnebomber79]

What’s that game they are playing putting the ball in the basket?

 

[bac2therac]

I'll take Bama And Willard to make it play out

 

[bac2therac]

Maryland right back in the game dominating the last 5 minutes

 

[bac2therac]

Who is the annoying third guy on this broadcast

 

[bac2therac]

Who is the annoying third guy on this broadcast

Its Stan Van Gundy...he is insufferable

 

[RUJMM78]

Maryland right back in the game dominating the last 5 minutes

Maryland has scoring threats from every starter which gives them a good chance to defeat Florida.They trail by 2 points at half time.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

It's crazy Bama took 27 out of 34 first half shots from 3. Both hitting 17 FGs.

3pt
Bama 12-27
BYU 1-13

 

[RUChoppin]

Did Knell kick that refs dog?

 

[DHajekRC84]

Did Knell kick that refs dog?

Refs have made like 3 really poor calls..

 

[DHajekRC84]

Wow Sears knows his Craft man. 😛

 

[ClassOf02]

Sears is on one hell of a heater.

Inappropriate to say Pike would’ve given him a breather?

After no 2.

 

[RUChoppin]

Alabama defender working overtime... Committing the foul on the shooter while gripping another player's arm

 

[RUChoppin]

And then Sears gets a foul for no reason

 

[bac2therac]

Am I the only one watching Maryland/Florida...its a better game

 

[Mr Magoo]

Not only is Cinderella dead but way more boring games than usual. Tournament has been a dud so far.

I get that’s the mantra this year but it’s a bit early to say Cinderella is dead after a small sample size of 1 year

 

[RUChoppin]

Am I the only one watching Maryland/Florida...its a better game

Was switching back and forth, but now sticking with Maryland, Florida

I’m in awe of Alabama’s shooting and can’t turn away. 22 made threes (NCAA tournament record) and they’re all effortless. 97 points with 7+ minutes to go still.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Bama hitting 3-pointers like Purdue did against us

 

[bac2therac]

120 in reach?

 

[bac2therac]

Florida with a bit of seperation up 9 so pivotal stretch coming for the Crab 5

 

[PiscatawayMike]

120 in reach?

Bama will cool off... I am guessing 111

 

[Bayonnebomber79]

Hey coach P, you watching?

 

[RUChoppin]

Slipping away from Maryland

 

[bac2therac]

Awful foul call there

 

[RUJMM78]

Am I the only one watching Maryland/Florida...its a better game

As the game winds down Florida is showing better toughness and shot making.I think Willard is headed to Villanova after losing tonight.

 

[lion1983]

Now 24-50 from 3-point range for Alabama ... crazy!

Basically from just 3 players .. Sears at 10-16, Adan Holloway at 7-14 and Youngblood at 5-11.

 

[newell138]

Not only is Cinderella dead but way more boring games than usual. Tournament has been a dud so far.

Announcers in Bama game made a good point. If you’re not gonna be drafted in the top 15 you may as well stay in college and make more money.

Thinking about that If more players are not leaving school after 2 or 3 years there will be more top players in college so the wealth will be spread out more

 

[bac2therac]

Well Maryland sure metered out

 

[bac2therac]

Bama will cool off... I am guessing 111

113..close

Wonder if that's a record for a sweet 16 game

 

[bac2therac]

Can we at least see Duke lose to make this tournament interesting

 

[RUChoppin]

Can we at least see Duke lose to make this tournament interesting

The way this tournament is going, the final four will be all 1-seeds, and all three games will be won by double-digits.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

This is NBA 2k25 video game numbers.

Alabama 25-51 from 3, and 10-15 from 2.

 

[knightfan7]

At least we saw worse perimeter defense than Rutgers ever played this year.

Thanks BYU

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

NBA game 66 attempts and 51 were 3s.

I am out. $8,400 saved

 

[Mholinko]

You heard announcers talking about Maryland needing to do what’s necessary to keep Willard

No beating around the bush what they meant by doing what’s necessary to keep him… these coaches are going to posture for every penny for themselves and for their budget now

That’s what we’re up against
