That was super depressing. If North Carolina and Syracuse win, I won't be watching basketball on Sunday.

No he didn't. He stepped directly in front of him and took the ball away.Mulva;1788942 wrote:I mean, he fouled too.

Well, aside from Kansas-Villanova, we are about to watch the last intriguing game of the weekend. Sundays games are already guaranteed to suck based on the teams already slated to play. I spoke far too early about this being the greatest tournament ever. It was the greatest opening weekend. Everything since has plain sucked.

I doubt it. If K has any say in it, and (unfortunately) I think he will have some, his wish will be to hand over his legacy to one of his former right hand men. Someone like Collins or Wojo or Capel, who, despite a tough end at Oklahoma, has emerged as one of the premier recruiters in all of the country during his tenure as Duke's associate head coach. Capel demonstrated flashes of that prowess in Norman, but just wasn't quite able to piece it all together. That was almost five years ago, though, and he's presumably learned from what went wrong. At a place like Duke, Capel would probably fare better.wildcats20;1788919 wrote:He's probably taking over for K.
But if Brey is K's replacement, I will feel for him like Kentucky fans felt for Tubby Smith. I will never like him.

My number one choice will always be Brad Stevens, no matter how well Collins or Wojo ultimately might do. But he's busy turning the Boston Celtics into a championship contender. He isn't leaving that for college basketball.

I was just being an ass. I don't think K will let it get away from Capel, IMO. And let's be honest, it will be 100% K's decision. The university will have zero say, other than signing the contract.reclegend22;1788948 wrote:I doubt it.

Pretty clear reach in before the steal IMO. He raked him across the arm. "Freedom of movement" has been the emphasis all year.wildcats20;1788945 wrote:No he didn't. He stepped directly in front of him and took the ball away.

With Butler and Wisconsin out, I have redirected my rooting interests to Mark Few. Reaching the Final Four as an 11 seed in a tournament that nobody expected him to do anything would be unassumingly fitting for him. I've hated Gonzaga for being IMO overrated many years in the past, but it would be cool to see the original mid-major basketball power that paved the way for programs like Butler and Wichita State to finally reach the sport's biggest stage.Ironman92;1788950 wrote:I love this Zags team
I could also live with Indiana or Villanova winning it all, as I always find it fun to watch former giants of their sport awake from their slumber.

I'm with you but really don't mind any team left outside of ND. I never got into the Gonzaga love fest and am just moot on Few. I haven't watched enough basketball this season at the NCAA level to speak intelligently...but what I've seen I am perplexed at them being an 11 seed and have really enjoyed the 3 games I have seen them.reclegend22;1788954 wrote:With Butler and Wisconsin out, I have redirected my rooting interests to Mark Few.

Why wouldn't Marcus Paige go from 33% shooting against everyone else to looking like Glen Rice against Indiana.

Not good to only be up 11. Not the way to end the half with 4(3?) straight turnovers.

Gonzaga had the ball 3 different times momentarily on that Cuse possession but of course couldn't control and Cuse scores. Fack
