Texas Tech - Arkansas has started. Big 12 is 10-14 vs. the SEC.

 

[CycloneErik]

That's because ACC teams are used to their zone. Teams in the tournament are not.

Whose is ready for a Loyola, Oregon State, Syracuse, Rutgers Sweet Sixteen in the Midwest?

I'm ready. Burn it down.

 

[HoopsTournament]

Syracuse is 10-21 from 3 pt line. West Virginia can't win if they keep hitting 3's like that. They need to defend the 3 better.

 

[HoopsTournament]

West Virginia is starting to get stops, Syracuse having a bit of foul trouble (Edwards and Dolezaj both with 4). But West Virginia having a hard time making shots.

Someone needs to get a hand on the coach's son. He is way too hot from 3.

 

[HoopsTournament]

We got ourselves a ballgame now.

 

[Cyched]

This is entertaining

 

[HoopsTournament]

This is the 5th time that Syracuse has been in a game between a #11 seed and #3 seed. They were the #3 seed 3 times and #11 seed once before. In all of the prior games, the #11 seed won.

Cuse stomping on their throats

Looks like Boeheim heading to his 900th Sweet 16.

 

[cyclones500]

Syracuse has it locked.

 

[CycloneErik]

BTW, I think it will be his 21st Sweet 16, but only if they don't throw it away again and again and again.

Between timeouts and a jump ball Syracuse just spent 20 seconds on their half of the court with the ball.

 

[Clonehomer]

Why do announcers always say you don't need a three? You're down by 6 with 21 seconds left, yes you need a three.

they really need to change the rule because they just penalized good defense

It will be his 20th.

I'd like to see this rule changed. A TO shouldn't restart the 10 second backcourt clock. You should get to 20 on the shot clock.

That makes no sense, like it not resetting a five second call or something.

 

[cyclones500]

That was a jump ball

 

[AlaCyclone]

Syracuse tried to lose it.
