Alabama has the ability to shoot themselves back in the game, but its looking like Michigan will advance

Rick Pitino is now 12-2 in the Sweet Sixteen. His other loss was to Kentucky.

No defense and reliance on the 3 only gets you so far. Ask Nebby.

 

[HoopsTournament]

St. John's had won their last 3 Sweet Sixteen games. Their last Sweet Sixteen loss was in 1983.

I hope I can stay awake for the ISU game.

 

[cydsho]

Bruce Pearl is annoying and cringe

Just like Nate Burleson's jacket.

 

[FriendlySpartan]

I don't want Bama, think we better off with Michigan if we can win tonight.

Rough take, you don’t want that smoke

 

[not-the-manager]

Okay, on the off chance you play Michigan you simply cannot take this many jump shots. If you’re gonna be down 12 either way you have to at least pressure the defense. I guess you could shoot 60% from deep but that ain’t happening

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

lol Nate Oats defending that offensive foul is hilarious.

Michigan has the size though that you are almost forced to take jump shots

I hate Dan Hurley so much that I am actually rooting for MSU. Am I alone? Or is that the consensus?

Let's knock the SEC out of the tournament.

Same here.

That’s a very healthy take, welcome to the bandwagon!

Yeah, more specifically I meant I would rather watch Lipsey get swatted 14 times than see this many bricks

Wasn’t Nebraska a top 10 defense this year?

 

[FerShizzle]

Well we know where your allegiance lies. I don’t know if you know this but some ISU fans dislike MSU.

Well you got your wish
