*****OFFICIAL SWEET 16 GAME THREAD*****

[TrustinCal]

Let's go!

 

[502 Wildcat]

We match up better with Loyola than Nevada (though I think we beat either team), so I’m okay with Loyola taking over the game right now.

 

[Guess Who]

If we win tonight I’ll say yes :sunglasses:

We will m’lady. We will

 

[USSLair]

C-a-t-s Cats Cats Cats

 

[Bkocats]

I’m seeing more and more blue

 

[TortElvisII]

Sister Jean vs Lynn Marshall

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

If we play Loyola can someone kidnap Sister Jean? Please????

 

[Guess Who]

Sister Jean vs Lynn Marshall

Lol. Good vs evil....

 

[zac_limanni]

Nevada flopped and drew an offensive foul... Smh

 

[ala_kat2]

Loyola's guards getting to the rim at will!

 

[Bkocats]

Loyola guy has a sweet little reverse layup

 

[clew84]

Nevada doesn’t appear to be placing much emphasis on D.

 

[502 Wildcat]

Nevada played solid D in the first half, now they are allowing Loyola to get to the paint at will.

Imagine what SGA, Diallo, Green, and Knox would be doing out there right now.

 

[Bkocats]

I so hate that call
With a passion
Offensive player should NOT be able to jump into the defense like that and get the call

 

[akaukswoosh]

If we play Loyola can someone kidnap Sister Jean? Please????

Kenny Smith will be guarding her.

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

Loyola's guards getting to the rim at will!

Yup! Nevada's defenders aren't even slowing them down.

 

[jameslee32]

Not a bunch of defense 2nite.

 

[Snackbar11]

Loyola is killing Nevada one on one...does Nevada have a zone-d? They just watching fools go by them..

 

[John Henry]

It’s a layup line for Loyola

Nevada's help defense sucks

 

[mpennin3_rivals40320]

Michigan looks hungry. Last time they won a championship was what ??? Back in 2013 ? LOL

 

[justin_uk_5]

Not a fan of that foul just now on the Nevada shooter. I didn’t think it was even close. Jumping into the defensive player should be an offensive foul or technical. Hate that play

 

[MrsTylerUlis]

Nevada doesn’t appear to be placing much emphasis on D.

They really can’t afford to when only rotating six players. I’d almost rather play Nevada watching this game because they have zero bench. Just pound it inside the whole game.

 

[zac_limanni]

Kenny Smith will be guarding her.

So she'll be wide open lol

 

[Bkocats]

About time for Nevada to go on a come back run

 

[caneintally]

Loyola is driving at will on Nevada and Loyola isn't a driving team . Just horrrrrible D by nevada.

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

Nevada can't defend anything under the rim. PJ would score 30 against them.

 

[caneintally]

About time for Nevada to go on a come back run

I don't really care who we play if we take care of biz tonight but I do think we match up better with Loyola as Nevada at least has athletes like us or similar.

 

[Bkocats]

Nevada playing some defense now
Second shot clock violation

 

[clew84]

Holy monkey - Michigan is playing out of their minds!

 

[RoyKent]

If Michigan plays like this they are winning the national title. Wow, they are on fire!

 

[irishcat1965]

Did the Loyola coach stop by the Goodwill and pick out some mismatched clothes to wear to the game tonite?

 

[Guess Who]

Aggies going on a run.....

 

[ala_kat2]

Loyola is loaded with four Seniors and one Grad transfer. Also has three Juniors. I think they will give us a good game if we can get through tonight.

 

[zac_limanni]

Nevada won't be able to play D against us for fear of fouling

 

[502 Wildcat]

Loyola moves the ball extremely well, they kinda remind me of Davidson but with more quickness.

Nevada matches our height really well on the perimeter and on the wing. We have more size in the paint. The key difference, however, is speed and athleticism. Our guys are long, but also athletic and speedy. Nevada can’t even keep up with a Loyola team that isn’t exactly in the upper echelon of college basketball with respect to athletes.

 

[track42]

Nevada on a run.

 

[Bkocats]

This game is flying by
We should tip on time

 

[Bkocats]

Nevada on a run.

No surprise there, been expecting it
I hope Loyola can hang on though

 

[502 Wildcat]

Anyone else watching in part hoping to hear a Go Big Blue chant during this game?

 

[ala_kat2]

Nevada has cut the lead to only 2!
