Arkansas got away with a lot of travels this game including that last possession
That was a good look for Abmas, thought it was going in. Congrats Hawgs.
Tourney just got married. No more oral.
Lots of respect for oral Roberts. Abmas has played like one of the top two or three players in this tournament.
Auburn should hire Oral coach after Texas poaches Pearl
we will be back there next season. Jabari smith. Learn the name now boys
So Loyola and Oral both lose on the first night of Passover. Coincidence?
And Houston vs Syracuse next, if the latter wins we will have the highest combined seeds ever in an elite 8 game, 11 vs 12.
Congrats Arky fans. This is a fun team to watch. They play fast and out of control sometimes. They pressure and give up wide open looks. But they are a relentless team, they just stay at it.
Baylor was 3-19 from three....Something like 26 of their 2nd half points came in the paint. Couldn't throw it in the ocean.
Still won by 11.
Game was tied 41-41....Then Baylor put on their big boy pants....Nova doesn't have the same size big boy pants...Once Baylor went up 6----it was curtains. Baylor unleashed that "D"---Nova turned it over like 5 straight times..
Remember that 3-19? Just imagine had Baylor hit their norm. Yikes.
Baylors "A" game is 15+ points better than Nova's....Didn't have that tonight. No problem---Their C+ game was good enough.
Miss me with that shit.
I have played basketball long enough and been around the game to know people don't miss unless the defense forces them...
No such thing as an off shooting night.
It is an excuse. Give Villanova credit

Riiiiiiiiiight....Because no player/teams have ever missed wide open shots...
You're a fukin joke.
No such thing as an off shooting night. RollLaugh
Earlier you said that you didn’t like the Ark spread because ORU’s best player had a bad game the first time.
No credit to Arkansas but credit to Nova for making Baylor miss wide open shots?
Interesting...
Once again...
There are different type of 3 point shots.
The issue for Baylor was that Villanova was preventing penetration and forcing Baylor to launch threes
None of those misses for the most part were wide open shots.
They were an iso play
Too many people picking Cuse. I think Houston gets out to an early lead and hangs on to it til the end for the win.
His posts tonight made me wonder if it was me and I might be on drugs.
For the most part those weren't wide open shots
The point was Abmas only scored 11 against Arkansas
You can contain an elite player but for the most part it is difficult to do that every game
I fukin love Hinkle Fieldhouse man. If you ever get an opprotnuity, ya need to go.
Houston didn’t look that impressive to me last week. They looked like....a team whose best player is Quentin Grimes.
Everyone seemed to play amazing free throw defense against my Heels this year.
That's the problem with zone. You give up so many offensive rebounds.
Baylor missed at least 5 wide open looks off kick outs...If not more. Missed a few very good looks on the break as well..
Dude---they had an off night. This does happen. And yes sometimes, many times I guess, that is due to the other team. And yeah, Nova was really good defensively, and caused some issues. But they did not cause a 3-19 issue.
And it would be damn hard for Nova to hold the best 3-pt shooting team in the nation to 19% again, wouldn’t it?
