Well TU "sells" a lot more tickets than get used as well. Just saying there were a lot of empty seats on TV.
NCAA Games Thread
- Thread starter I.I.
- Start date
Sweet 16 starts tonight. The Purdue game was fun to watch. I don’t care much for Gonzaga. It’s fun to say, but that’s about it. Texas Tech off to a good start too.
I love watching Texas tech play. I wouldn't say they have elite level talent but like Self did here, Beard is getting every last drop of ability and effort out of his guys on both ends.
I wish I could have enjoyed watching Auburn pound North Carolina more. But the fact that their coach is the biggest lying sleazebag in college basketball, makes it hard to.
I get tired of watching the refs let Zion get away with murder in the paint. Over the back, dipping his shoulder on a charge, etc.
Buzz Williams has done a remarkable job at Virginia Tech, just like he did at Marquette. Kudos to those on this board that identified him early on as a superstar coach in the making that we should have tried to go after (I. I. and others?).
Here is a crazy story about Virginia Tech basketball. Their top recruit out of Georgia last year was deemed ineligible by the NCAA because of his ACT score. Not because his score was too low, but because his score was too high. They decided that the score was too high for someone with his grade point average. He took the test a second time and scored too high again. So he is redshirting the season, and still has not been cleared by the NCAA for next season. He’s on the honor roll this year by the way.

It’s good to see that, true to form, the refs will not let Kentucky lose to Houston. #protectthebluebloods
WTF on the Tech kid? GPAs can easily be influenced by things like lack of interest or too many absences which affect final letter grades in some places.
That was what they said. He just did not apply himself in school, but he has Ivy League-type intelligence.
He’s also a sick freak of an athlete. Near smashed his head on the rim going for a dunk earlier.
Will there be a better game than Purdue vs Va? Absolutely incredible. Maybe the best I've ever seen.
That was a great game. It seems like we’ve had a number of really great games this year. I’m glad Ashvid’s and my bracket is still perfect. lol
I’m not sure how anyone could be bored with these games. You must not like good basketball. I do think the best 4 teams are still playing, although Purdue should have beat Virginia.
Got to hit those free throws and rebound the other team’s misses.
The level of play has been incredible and, other than the first two sweet 16 games, very close and exciting.
With the upsets this weekend and auburn kicking everyone’s ass, it is now a two horse race.
TulsaHop vs TUcane45
Both of them have Virginia but TUcane45 has Michigan state.
If Virginia wins and Michigan state loses then TulsaHop wins the challenge
If both teams lose then TulsaHop wins.
If Michigan State moves on then TUcane will will need them to win the championship to win.
TulsaHop has all the momentum

Holy sheet! Headband guy for Tech is the world’s tallest Eric Coley!
But Virginia was supposed to win. Be easy on the refs, it only happened at midcourt in front of three or them and millions of people.
We need someone to convince him to post here so we can have a Li’l Eric Coley and World’s Tallest Eric Coley
Not to sound like Ojcik, but the Elite Eight and Final Four games have shown a lack of junk defenses. Just a lot of man defense, where everyone knows their assignment and the switches are made very quickly.
Auburn did give up too many open 3’s in the corner like us, but overall these defenses are a joy to watch.

Pretty sure the fairgrounds is gonna put a statue of Big EC next to the Golden Driller
They showed a great picture of Wojcik sitting behind the bench...
Woj was picking his nose!
