Izzo looks like he’s settling in for a long night. He’s in “you guys are doing this to yourselves so you figure out how to get out of it” mode.

 

[Brookcyde]

Yeah, what happened there? Did his forehead get clawed?

Sparty big guy has some kind of band or bracelet on his wrist that hammered Timberlakes forehead--did that cut him?

 

[Cyched]

The patterning on the MSU unis… #triggered

Beating them in the S16 would be oh so satisfying

If so, ugh. They should not allow any sort of jewelry or bracelets, and should enforce rules on that.

Not scared of MSU. Clearly a good team and legendary coach, but their style of ball is one that fits well with us, would at least be a very competitive game

Was having this discussion with some coworkers the other day, and one of them raised an interesting point. Is Izzo the most overrated coach in college basketball? Everyone’s perception of him is based off one run 25 years ago

Seems like with lower seeded teams he makes it farther than he should, but higher seeds not as far.

I'd love to see traveling called regularly.

How’s Bryant been looking. Can they do a Hampton?

Late Friday game 2/15 upset?

Fears on Oklahoma is a freshmen stud. He’s having a game like Tyrese had against LSU

Slipping, but they have a shot.

How soon before Ole Miss fans come over to CF and tell us how we won't be able to compete with them?

Let those dumbass rednecks come over and talk all they want. Lipsey & Co. will take care of them on the court.

Remember everyone. The SEC was so dominant that teams below .500 in conference needed to make the tournament.

 

[3TrueFans]

The only things I want out of this tournament are for Iowa State to never lose, and for Dan Hurley to lose as soon as possible.

 

[NWICY]

Wait--this is the first time I've seen this.

Can this be the new normal?

I do believe his daughter Z, coined the term.

 

[NWICY]

Marquette-New Mexico the only watchable game right now.

I was glad NM got the W on that because Shaka screw that guy.
Uconn OU I was hoping for a meteor, but better that Uconn won because screw the SEC.

 

[alenz95]

If we can just survive Sunday this Michigan State team feels so beatable.

He has 8 final fours to go along with that and 27 straight appearances. Really needs that second natty but still has that is a pretty strong record
