Arkansas missing a lot of wide open 3s. Zona better push this out to 20.

Wagner just made one. Thatll help. Although, you gotta play better defense than that.
Their defense is turrible. A pig fan tried to argue with me about it, lol.

Can't coach Cal is doing a good job pissing away my investment. At least most of you guys are happy though!

Cal covered in his last 8 tourney games as a dog. Trend i’ve been following for years now. Finally decided to lay down some money on it. Took them straight up and then made a another bet just to cover as part of a parlay. And ofcourse they’re getting smoked.

I hate college basketball so much right now.

It makes sense though. Zona is an awful matchup for them because of the front court and the way they play. So similar to Florida.

Also, I guess Arkansas was due to get exposed. Arkansas fans think us pointing out their lucky schedule and draw over the last few weeks was salt. Some of it may have been, but it was also true. They’ve beaten one good team during this stretch and that was Vandy and it took them having a once ever 30 years outside shooting same to win that one. Their luck may have run out.

I wonder how much of the Illinois team was recruited by Antigua? Man Pope is a f*cking idiot. How do you tell one of the best recruiters in the game to piss off when they’re practically begging to stay?
Most of their guys are foreign. Not sure that’s Antiguas wheelhouse. But maybe?

Any team with a real coach is an awful matchup for Cal.

I hear you. Yeah, Cal went the scrap heap route with the front court this year. I mean, he did get to a FF with Jorts, so it's not like he hasn't done it before. AZ is a brutal matchup though. Game not over yet, but not looking good.

If Houston played in the SEC they'd have 14 fouls right now. Guys are bowling into players.

Jorts was more talented than we realize. Played a few seasons for the Knicks and really didn’t look bad.

A friend years ago showed me a video of him dunking between his legs back in Juco. I think it was just a motivation thing with him. Once Cal and KP figured out what buttons to press with him he took off. More than held his own agaisnt a top 5 pick in that S16 game. Jorts is better than anyone arkansas has in their front court. And so was Terrence Jones.

Seriously i’m more impressed by how unafraid of contact and physical play freshman terrence jones was every year.

Purdue once again in the Elite 8, like I said at the start of the year that exhibition meant nothing. They are better than practicing against your own roster, but in the end it’s just practice.

Jort’s was a great find. He was very good. I always thought he should have played more under BCG, but he didn’t get a chance until Cal.
