  • Hurley looks completely rattled. I'd be surprised if ASU can muster a win here.
    Shocker fan for life after witnessing my first game in person, the 80-74 win over the #12 Creighton Bluejays at the Kansas Coliseum.

        We are going to have Owls running out our ears. Who, who, who.

        • Memphis had a cakewalk to the Sweet 16 and probably further.

          Most overrated junk program on the planet. Penny's bottle toss summed their program up perfectly.

          ... No really, deuces.

                • Big difference in personnel between Furman and SDSU.

                  My working theory is that a one-game elimination tournament like this forces coaches to exploit matchups in ways they wouldn’t during the regular season. Which is why you see teams like Virginia and Purdue fall…they (especially Virginia as I would argue they overachieve during the regular season given their personnel - it is amazing how they have owned the ACC lately). And I think it applies to power conferences both ways.

                  So basically, coaches that underperform during the regular season with loads of talent are able to overperform their regular season record because they are forced to have no other options. It obviously doesn’t apply everywhere but I think of it as an X-Y axis with talent and coaching ability.

                  I’d be interested to know what others think or if this theory seems off. It’s almost as simple as saying, “having better players means you’re more likely to succeed in the tournament,” which is obvious, but adds a tad bit of nuance.

                    I guess 1976 won't have to change his shorts after that one.

                    That is all.
                    Above all, make the right call.
