***Sweet Sixteen/Elite Eight Thread***

FK me running, if my last name was Knipple I wouldn't break eye contact with my paternal grandfather and father as I legally change that abomination.
 
When did the SEC learn to shoot?
What I'm noticing a lot thats different between how defense is played in the SEC vs elsewhere is the attention given to defending the 3 ball.

For example people don't view Bama and Uk as having great defenses, but they defend the 3 as well as teams like Duke and Houston. Which sounds crazy.

Our new coach literally said the same things and has the same philosophy.

Bama got hot tonight, but defense controls how efficiencies are played on the offense end.

Rebounding controls the game and UF is awesome at it.

UF is good.

Yeah and Alabama is A LOT stronger at getting boards than they were last year. They are capable of playing solid D when they need too IMO also.

Florida has a lot of the pieces you want to have but I'm worried about how sloppy we've been. Hope Condon's ankle holds up.
 
Holy shit, Arkansas people look ghetto white trash as fvck, lol.

I will never go to Arkansas

Yeah Michigan St is one of the teams that also really get after the 3s on defense. You gotta have guys you trust down low for it to work. Mobile bigs etc.

True on Condon, and no disrespect to your fine coach but Oates is legit.

This board is due for a meltdown. Hasn’t bern a good one since UK got upset by Wisconsin in 2015.
I get along with most UK fans but they need to be brought down a peg. They're mainly just annoying, I guess it's part of their charm.

Strength of competition matters. I know the metrics do a very good job of compensating, but when you play quad 1 team after quad 1 team, your efficiency numbers are going to take a beating when a team like Arkansas goes off on you.

When the SEC sucked, I argued against that, but after seeing how everything unfolded in the SEC tbis year, I get it now.

Agreed. The entire SEC this year reminds me of MSU teams that just shoot better.

When Alabama plays like they did tonight, their best defense, is their offense. They just run you ragged.

LOL, y'all run around telling erbody to suck your cocks and all us UK fans have been behind you yelling "yeah, suck their cocks" and this is the thanks we get?
May all your future cock suckings be performed by an alligator… bitch.

Rod is a singular person bro, so I can't argue with your assertion that at least one Gamecock fan has seen a couple up close.
