The NCAA Sweet 16 and Elite 8 Thread

[Isaiah 63:1]

It’s basketball season and we’re talking about basketball. This is first for me, this time of year I’m seeing who’s being held out of spring practice.

You didn't do it in 2021?

...my first "check" on the 2018 statement was to ask "Alexa" and guess what she said: "Their (Alabama's) last tournament bid was in 2018."

What I've learned today: @bamagradinATL is Alexa...

SDSU stats. They are 6th in 3 point percentage defense. Tennessee, UH, and Bama are 1-2-3, and Auby is 5th. So I'm not so sure about their "Ooh, scary defense" narrative

And those stats came against far inferior teams

I think I've read that specifically SDSU is good at 3pt D and rim D. Those are 2 areas we like to utilize a lot so I can see them keeping this game closer than we all would be comfortable with.

I don't think we are on true upset alert but I do think we win by less than 10 and think us covering or not will come down to end of game free throws. But I've been wrong a lot since the tournament has started so what do I know

Also, it’s not like we’ve never played against good defense

And beat them badly.

I'm trying to keep it on an even keel right now.

SEC >Mountain West

They may be good, but it won't catch us off guard as if we haven't played a challenging non-conference and grueling SEC schedule!

After playing, UConn, Tennessee, Arkansas, A&M, Auburn, Kentucky, I doubt if they’ll be intimidated by this team

Not to mention having also played other teams that made the Big Dance like Houston, Gonzaga, Michigan State, Missouri and Mississippi State.

Apparently tickets to the South Regional in Louisville are quite affordable.

I saw someone selling 4 tickets for $600. Not bad at all IMO.

At least we're playing the 1st game tomorrow. You'll get to bed before 3AM

I just saw 2 for all sessions $160 for the pair. It was on the TickPick app.

Should we cheer for Tennessee to lose tonight or would it be more fun to beat them in the Final Four? (South plays East in SF round).

If you count Texas, could be an all SEC Final Four.

I REALLY want to drive up Saturday morning if we win Friday night. It probably won't happen though.

What won't happen? Us winning or you driving up Saturday morning...?
