2013 NCAA Tournament

[Guest]

Zeller is sofffffffft.

 

And he seems rather unathletic.

Zeller is sofffffffft.

Looks like brother Luke out there tonight.

 

So the world (and by the world I mean the East Coast media) will get one more "true Big East" game after all.

[Guest]

Welp. There goes my bracket.

[hawkeyecub]

What an embarrassment. They were never in this game.

[bcl412]

If Louisville, Michigan State and Michigan lose I can have a successful 0 for 8 in the elite 8. I'm pulling for this.

[Andy]

Welp. There goes my bracket.

I'm down to half my Final 4 and half my Elite 8. Only chance left at a semi-respectable bracket is to get the two title-game teams (Louisville and Florida) right.

[hawkeyecub]

Insert one of 8,000 "they weren't expecting the 2-3 zone" jokes that actually look accurate.

[Smack]

Is Zeller going to fall out of the lottery? He looked like garbage against athletic forwards tonight.

[rawaction]

Well, that was shitty. Falls on Crean. He didn't have a gameplan and had 4 days to put one together. Zeller played like a vagina.

I thought he looked like crap against Meyers Leonard last year as well. Until Leonard got in foul trouble and Zeller stuffed his stats at the end.

[Sosa21MVP]

Well, that was [expletive]. Falls on Crean. He didn't have a gameplan and had 4 days to put one together. Zeller played like a vagina.

 

I've really tried hard to give the weirdo credit despite some odd things but yeah tonight was an abortion. This team wasn't ready at all.

[hawkeyecub]

How does that team, with that offense go out looking like that? Crean doesn't even have any assistants who can have them prepared for the only [expletive] defense that Syracuse plays? Yes I know they play it extremely well, but given the talent they have, that was hideous.

[Guest]

It surprises me that Wichita State is only the second 9-seed to make the Elite Eight (joining BC in 1994). At least three 11-seeds have made it since three have made the Final Four and seven 10-seeds have made the Elite Eight.

[SpongeWorthy]

That was a pretty appalling job by Crean I have to say

Hey, how could he know they would play a 2-3 zone all game?

[Guest]

I haven't checked my facts on this, but I'm pretty sure Crean is winless against Boeheim.

 

And he's a mediocre coach and Zeller is bad and now everyone knows it.

Dammit, I always have to cheer against Ohio State, but once they won, I decided to root for an all B1G Final Four. Then Indiana ruins that. Now OSU has to beat a 9 seed to get to the Final 4...ugh. I wonder what the easiest road to the Final Four has been. OSU would have to beat a 15, 10, 6 and 9 to get there. Average seed is 10.

 

Florida might have a path of 14 seed, 11 seed, 15 seed and 4 seed. Average seed is 11. Even if Kansas wins, its still averages out to 10.3 seed.

Sounds like a recent KU path.

Yeah 2011.... 16, 9, 12, 11. Average seed was 12....except for the fact that they lost to the 11 seed VCU so they never reached the F4.

Look at their 08 path and last years. They've been very fortunate of late that their 2 seed has lost right away.

I missed the game, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the fact that Indiana, with an alleged NBA point guard, a probable lottery pick at the 2, a first round center, three seniors and Tom Crean, could lose by 11.

 

How much more perfect could Indiana's situation be for a Final Four? I'd be really concerned if I'm an IU fan.

Sheehey was B1G Sixth Man of the Year too

[Formerly Snayke]

Oh wow I didn't even realize that.

 

IU boosters should really be asking themselves if Crean is the man for the job.

It was clear that they were just completely unprepared and Crean got schooled by Boeheim for the millionth time. He could never solve that zone.

And Brad Stevens is sitting there less than a few hours away.
