Congrats to Virginia. After last year's embarrassment, good to see them make it this far.

Re: Elite Eight and forward thread...
Yeah, the Red Raiders just kept on coming. Every time I thought Gonzaga was about to take control, TT would do something to keep control. They hustled. They played defense. They hit free throws. It's amazing how just those things make the game very enjoyable to watch. I watched most of this game and enjoyed it. I am hoping Coach Oats can have us playing that way very soon.
Re: Elite Eight and forward thread...
I didn't watch the second game, but I am also glad to see Virginia make it. I like their brand of basketball very much, and I hated to see them get labeled as underachievers after being the first one seed to lose in the first round last year. There are five games remaining to determine a champion, and all of them have the potential to be very good games.

Purdue had this game won - but couldn't finish. How many games have we seen the same thing happen this season?
Just Pure Madness......
In agreement with both posts.

That was a great game. UVA showed a lot of hustle late in that one. TTU looks like they are going to be a tough out in the Final Four.

It’s a shame someone had to lose the UVA/Purdue game. These games show how far we are from the big time right now.

Re: Elite Eight and forward thread...
I think they had to rely on one player too much in the end. Edwards was great, but his last 2 plays were not so great.In agreement with both posts.

I think he's trying to make 7'6" instead of his listed 7'3"...
Re: Elite Eight and forward thread...
Interesting - all I could think while watching that game is Bama and Florida will both be in the Final Four next season - yeah - we got this!

Aaaaaand here come the nerves.
Don't like our chances without Chuma.

Games like this are why I haven't filled out any brackets in the last 10 years. Just to be able to sit back and watch good basketball without having to root for a team that I don't especially like but have winning in my bracket.

Re: Elite Eight and forward thread...
Odds are your guys can't possibly knock down 3's like the other night though..... it was INSANE. I mean I thought I was watching NBA JAM and all your shooters had rings of fire around them..... something like 66% from Deep in the 2nd half.
But man you guys HUSTLE..... I'm talking CRASHING the boards on both ends, SWAT Blocking shots, picking pockets right and left creating all kinds of fast break madness.
Oh and I hate that Chuma went down.... he was the best player on the floor the other night by far.
But.....If Kentucky is even remotely 'off' and AU plays that hard again I think you guys pull off the 'upset' and become the 1st team from the state to make the Final Four.
Good Luck 'Dub
If your guys play fast and with the same intensity that they did vs North Carolina then it's going to be a good game.

Re: Elite Eight and forward thread...
Chuma is just such such an irreplaceable loss for us. Purifoy can shoot every bit as well, but we have no one who has Chuma’s ability to lock down the opposing team’s best player or replace his rebounding - especially on the offensive end - or his driving or post presence.
Can only hope it galvanizes this team and we hit them hard early.
We’ve done it for 11 straight now, but yeah we’re due for a poor shooting night.

With what Auburn is doing and what Texas Tech has done, there’s no reason we can’t be more competitive than we’ve been lately. Here’s hoping our new coach can get us going.

Starting Horace at 4. He's a pure post player. Must be looking to limit Washington as best we can early.

Re: Elite Eight and forward thread...
Good luck AUDub, hope it turns out good for you.
I have honestly found myself pulling for them some and that is so weird because I never pull for Auburn. Their style of play is so much fun to watch, especially compared to what we showed this year. Also doesn’t help that I was one of the few around here that wanted Grant home a year earlier and to go after Pearl. I’m just sitting thinking, what if this was Bama.
Anyway, good luck and enjoy the game.

Re: Elite Eight and forward thread...
Just think Chuma is too big of a loss. Don’t think we have it in us.
