***Elite 8 Games Thread***

Just like we all predicted, 3 Pac-12 teams in the Elite 8. Can Oregon State make it to the Final Four?

Arkansas has overcome 3 double digit deficits in this tourney. Probably not wise to try that vs. Baylor.

See everyone in 10 hours.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I think that both Baylor and Houston cover tonight, but I hope I’m wrong and we have a couple of good games

Watching the last five minutes of Arkansas, did you notice they ran out of gas. Arkansas is symptomatic of SEC, lack of depth and conditioning, it is a Covid year.

I can't give over Oregon State's historic run. UCLA-Oregon-Colorado-Tennessee-Oklahoma State-Loyola Chicago. Incredible. And they do this the year after losing one of the all-time greats in program history.

I assume Wayne Tinkle is getting a 30-year contract extension after this performance?

I would rather overcome 3 double digit deficits than be the team that let them do it.

I agree. They probably should not try it with Baylor.

Baylor will give up leads...

They had two double digit leads that Texas erased when they played.

Arkansas has to do what Villanova did. Force them into bad shots.

What Villanova didn't do...
Take advantage of them when Mayer is on the floor
Mayer isn't Vital on the defensive end....

When Mayer is on the floor Baylor usually goes on a run.
Arkansas has to prevent this.


That combination with Mayer and those guards is maybe the most efficient Offense in college basketball this year.

No disrespect to Gonzaga

Sheriff do you pull for Houston with TX out of it or not care either way? Or pull against?

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

Love watching both these squads too bad one has to lose. So cliche, but applicable here.

Gonna have to Tivo it I'm too old to stay up to watch it hope this thread is an entertaining read tomorrow

 

[SheriffBufordTJustice]

About people...

I know people around that program and have seen a few of their players come through the basketball in and around Houston.

But it is like that with a lot of these programs.

LJ Cryer isn't getting much time with Baylor but I know all about him.
I am familiar with Vital as well.

The 2nd game starts at 10? Nice job ***gits

 

[thebasketballreasons]

Oregon State is the team of destiny this year like VCU 2011, they are going to make history and become the first ever #12 seed in final four.

 

[SheriffBufordTJustice]

Silva bullied Oklahoma State...

Boone is too young and thin. He needs another year.

Difference is Houston doubles the post. They have been doing this for the longest time.
They are ruthless about it. Create confusion.

Truthfully I would like to see Oregon State play without Silva.

We will see.

The other issue is Jarreau's health. He definitely going to be all over Ethan Thompson.

 

[ivan brunetti]

Closet game tonight might be Baylor vs UConn.

Baylor getting bullied it looks like.
We will see

 

[hawkit3113]

The Beavs are getting pounded. They are all sloppy

 

[SheriffBufordTJustice]

Carrington can't let that girl on UCONN make her look bad....

 

[SheriffBufordTJustice]

The Beavs are getting pounded. They are sloppy

Thompson won't get his tonight unless he really digs deep.

 

[hawkit3113]

The Beavs are tightening up a bit on defense. They arent giving it up so easy.

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

If Grimes could make an open jumper Houston would be up 15.

 

[hawkit3113]

Just as I post that, they go back to getting drilled, lol

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

If I'm a Houston fan I'm feeling pretty good right now

 

[jhmossy]

Hoping for one Elite 8 game to come close to UVA-Purdue in 2019. Not off to a great start.

 

[hawkit3113]

The Beavers are getting deep dicked

 

[YellowlabOSU]

The magic is fading.

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

In all seriousness, how can Oreg St get back into the game? What adjustment do they need to make here?

 

[duckboy33]

Join the club

 

[hawkit3113]

The refs calling fouls would help

 

[thebasketballreasons]

Make some threes.

 

[IUfanBorden]

In all seriousness, how can Oreg St get back into the game? What adjustment do they need to make here?

Gotta keep Houston off the glass,,,,Knock down some shots(three's). Going 1-6 at the line sure didn't help either.

 

[SheriffBufordTJustice]

UCONN have a women's player named Lesbo?

 

[bMORE607]

Oregon State is the team of destiny this year like VCU 2011, they are going to make history and become the first ever #12 seed in final four.

Like clockwork

I could happily never see Lily again

 

[jhmossy]

Did you really expect a Cougar Beaver game to be tight?

 

[BawlzDeep]

Did you really expect a Cougar Beaver game to be tight?

I didn't expect to see a cougar pound a beaver so hard.

 

[YellowlabOSU]

The Beaver baseball team just hit a 3 pointer.

 

[hawkit3113]

The Beavers are getting waxed

 

[BawlzDeep]

I could happily never see Lily again

She looks preggo

 

[HawgPound]

I could happily never see Lily again

Definitely overdone and the whole pretending to be dumb halftime thing is lame.
