Saturday Elite 8 Thread

[Crawfords Corner]

What a fun game this has been

 

[CondorCat]

Impressed with both teams.

 

[howercat]

Banked in 3, really?

 

[wccat]

Someone needs to lay the lumber on Nowell every time he drives the lane. Someone needs to make him fearful of playing where the big boys play.

They need a Jamal Magloire or a Winston Bennett. LOL!

Man these games the last week have been some of the most enjoyable I can remember watching in awhile. KSU/MSU now KSU/FAU has just been non stop back and forth. I for one enjoy that all tue blue bloods are out (sans UK) and these smaller guys are playing like mad dogs.

 

[rick64]

16/37 3pt FGA combined. Wonder what that’s like to make 40+% of your 3s.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Good job refs, don’t reward that flopping Bs

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

That would have been a charge if Shows was on the baseline.

 

[Airborne8202]

Man, Nowell does remind me of Kemba and Napier during their tournament runs..dude has so much confidence

 

[ukfan117]

Nowell getting cocky with the ball might cost them the FF. Kansas State is up 6 and goes 4 straight trips with nothing and now FAU has some of the momentum back.

I'm glad the refs didn't fall for the obvious flop there.

 

[BlobUK]

KSU flops every time down the floor on defense.

 

[Atrain7732]

Nowell is just on fire. Still, somewhere in the back of my mind I keep waiting on him to shoot them out of a game in crunch time with those 30’ he likes to jack up. Hard not to root for the kid tho what a competitor

 

[wccat]

Let's go FAU. Mitch, get that contract ready for Dusty!! LOL!

Wonder how long Tang will be at KSU?

 

[Cowtown Cat]

K State can’t guard FAU’s big guy, so they flop every single time.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Definitely feels like a whomever has the ball last kind of ending coming up.

 

[TortElvisII]

It is fun to watch a game where you have absolutely no rooting interest. Either way I am good. Unlike the next game.

Thinking the same thing. Ulis had that same mindset.

Definitely hitting the bs 3s the other two did. Nowell is great he just hits some lucky *** shots

 

[LmdCat]

The ref didn't give K-state the flop, but they should have called a technical for flopping.

 

[rick64]

Refs have been awfully quick with the whistle on jump ball.

 

[wccat]

Another missed layup.

 

[LmdCat]

Banked a 3 lol. Time for this midget to come down to reality.

That wasn't nice but it was funny as *ell.

 

[TortElvisII]

Why take Goldin out?

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

50/50 call Johnson was out of control but jones wasn’t fully set

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Carry. Carry. Carry. Carry.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

3 straight misses from the FT line for Keyontae.

 

[TortElvisII]

If this is a battle of coach personalities, go FAU.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

The ref didn't give K-state the flop, but they should have called a technical for flopping.

Sills did that crap all game agaisnt Kentucky and they rewarded him for, and in offense he just puts his head down with no idea where he is going and gets bailed out a lot. I mean he fricking head butted reeves and they called it on reeves

 

[wccat]

Make your FTs FAU. Both teams well coached. Now we see who 1.) makes a big shot and 2.) who makes a huge mistake.

 

[ukydood]

 

[UKUGA]

Cracks me up when a team like KSU benefits from bad/no calls then goes through a stretch when the tables turn and they act shocked.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

How’s it feel to get called for a 3 point foul you didn’t commit? Well, it might’ve been a foul. Toppin’s sure af wasn’t.

And according to the buffoon of an announcer, it was basketball play. I believe it was Dukie Spanarkel.

 

[LmdCat]

The talking heads know that should have been a charge on Johnson.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Nowell out of control falling down, let’s call it on FAU

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

The midget yelling at the FT shooter. What a tool!

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Actually, show that replay again. That ball tipped off of Nowell's fingers.

 

[wccat]

Johnson not playing very smart.

 

[TortElvisII]

goodbye k st....those whistles are not always yours

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Foul out Keyontae Johnson
