Boozer made three errors.
1. Passing.
2. Passing across time line
3. Heading back to the paint after he screwed up.
Thats the problem with giving the keys to an 18 year old kid who only knows AAU ball.

Is that Talia Goodman next to him?

 

[Cyinthenorth]

One and done era wreaking havoc on that program.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Hate both teams, but such a magical moment I can't hate it.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

There’s got to be a video somewhere of papa Carlos Boozer’s reaction to the final 6 seconds???

No ill will toward the Boozers. They are honorary Cyclone fans after all.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Isn't getting smoked what happens to teams who beat us in the Sweet Sixteen?

In the TJ era that has been the case for sure. I remember a stretch where the team that beat us in the tournament went on to win it all.

UNC in 2005
Kentucky in 2012
Ohio State Elite 8 in 2013 after beating us in Rd 2
UCONN in 2014 after losing Niang

After that it pretty well trails off

That's the Hurley parents? They are aging better than their children

 

[GoHawks]

Pretty shocked Michigan is currently -1.5 over Arizona

You have to include Michigan State in 2000.

Oh of course! Didn't want to have to skim over Hampton though lol

That head looks like it wants to get far away from that body....

Still part of a significant trend.

Kentucky in 1992...went on to play that epic regional final with Duke.

I see, that one certainly predates me. I was alive but not cognizant

 

[Marcelason78]

Was Duke out of TOs on the last possession?

 

[3TrueFans]

No they had one

 

[Marcelason78]

No they had one

Wow. That really calls into question the coaching of Duke’s golden boy.
