**March Madness Thread**

[Redscarlet]

But Texas (or Miami) and UConn will meet in the semis.

One of three teams - FAU, San Diego State or Creighton - will play the winner of that game for the championship.

Hadn’t look at the bracket for the the finals .

Hadn’t look at the bracket for the the finals .

With the way Miami is playing, you could make a pretty good argument that the three best teams remaining are all on one side of the bracket.

 

[Redmich]

Saw a stat that of the elite 8 teams - the starters consisted of

16 transfers
19 seniors
1 freshman
3 other

Likely no “one-and-dones”

So stay and develop or transfer to play. Hmmm

The extra Covid year means more players for more teams

 

[Scat_Back]

Creighton and Texas are locks today. I am betting both individually as well as a parlay

Cooling just a little on Texas, still a small bet but Creighton is an absolute lock to get to their first final 4

 

[Harry Caray]

Well, at least we can say we beat a Final 4 team on their home court.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan_rivals19671]

Jays looks like they are running the same play every other posession...lob to the rim...tall guy catches and dunks it.

 

[Scat_Back]

Aztecs taking a lot of tough shots. That’s what I’ve always admired about Creighton is they take excellent shots. SDSU plays very tight D

 

[litespeedhuskerfan_rivals19671]

SDSU scored more in first half than I tbought they would (meaning I thought Jays would be leading by more at half)...Jays getting killed rebounding it seems like. Thought Creighton was gonna open a can of whoop *** at one point and pull away...kudos to State for holding it together and pulling even late. Very entertaining well played game IMO..

Jays gotta keep the ball moving. Can’t win trying to take the SDSU guys off the dribble - they are too good defensively.

 

[BetterRed1]

Hard to run away from SDSU. They play such good defense. McDermott smart in trying to get it to Kalkbrenner instead of taking so many threes. I expect Kalk to be more aggressive in the second half.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Creighton a bit snake -bitten.. three 3 pointers in & out

 

[schuele]

Jays need to be more aggressive in transition. Even if they don’t have numbers, better chance scoring on the break than in the half court.

Agree...obviously they are being told to do what they're doing cause i've seen a few transitions they should have taken their chances....

Yeah I just don’t see them winning a half-court game against these guys.

 

[Scat_Back]

SDSU a very scrappy team. Agree Creighton needs to pass it a lot more with off-ball action

 

[king_kong_]

just took the aztecs live +230

 

[Scat_Back]

just took the aztecs live +230

I’ll take that in large bills, please and thank ya.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

As long as Creighton can grab the defensive boards they should win this game

 

[schuele]

Suddenly it’s a ref show

 

[Scat_Back]

Suddenly it’s a ref show

Super inconsistent right now with what is a body foul and what isn’t…

 

[Redmich]

I don’t know if they mentioned this on the broadcast - but I have verified the stat below is true

 

[mwulf]

Creighton looks out of gas and Sdsu gets offensive rebounds off all their misses

 

[schuele]

Gotta force some tempo down the stretch. No open looks in the half court - at all.

 

[king_kong_]

great game

early 2000s college hoops

 

[king_kong_]

reset the shot clock!

 

[king_kong_]

reset the shot clock!

thank you

 

[litespeedhuskerfan_rivals19671]

Is Creighton being told to stay away from rebounds?

 

[schuele]

reset the shot clock!

Yeah I thought SDSU possessed the ball but Kalbtrenner did not. Should be about 26

 

[Scat_Back]

What an inbound!

 

[BigRedTed]

Disu is out for Texas. Just mentioning because I see some of you guys have bets

 

[schuele]

Didn’t like giving the foul there. Why?

Save it for an actual drive to the rim.

 

[DerHusker_rivals270018]

GO AZTECS!!!

 

[Redmich]

Didn’t like giving the foul there

They just **** themselves on an inbound attempt - make them inbound again

 

[king_kong_]

thanks for coming out, Jays

 

[schuele]

Throw your head back - get a call from the ref 30 feet away

That has not been a foul for the first 39.9 minutes

 

[BigRedTed]

lmao

 

[Scat_Back]

yikes lol. That has definitely not been called consistently in this one. Decided by the refs
