***Official 2021 NCAA Tournament Thread***

Eaddy is unstoppable.
Oregon's interior defensive philosophy in this game is called "olé" after the Spaniards who coined the term.

USC is hot and they are bringing their A game. They keep this up and they win.

Oregon will make adjustments and have a run in the second half.

Not sure if it will be enough. Oregon's offensive talent is way above USC's but it's the defense that is killing the Ducks.

Probably not a popular opinion, but I wasn't impressed with how Oates coached. Alabama is very athletic, but very individual. So often out of control.
But yeah, in the end, free throws killed em.

Can you give a stat relevant to this game that involves Iowa State actually winning?

Here comes the run but my God Oregon is shooting poorly tonight.

Credit to SC's defense too.
