March Madness 2021

[Cazzie22]

I enjoyed Oregon St Coach Tinkle having his players measure the rim height in Hinkle Field House.  If you have seen “ Hoosiers” you’ll understand.

I have to say that a majority of these games have been compelling to watch. I had 3 TVs set up Friday-Monday.

Wouldn't mind seeing either Gonzaga or Houston win it. The more Michigan wins, the more you have to wonder if a NBA team comes knocking for Howard.

 

I'd honestly be surprised if Howard doesn't get multiple NBA job offers this offseason.

 

As for the tournament I think it's Gonzaga's to lose...and I don't see that happening.

True.  Also I edited my earlier reply for clarity.

[Cazzie22]

Neutral sites may have an impact on some of the outcomes.  North Carolina didn’t have Charlotte or Greensboro for a round, Kansas didn’t have Kansas City etc.

I just hope when we make the tournament next year we dont go up against a team like USC. Were a ways away from competing with a team with 2 really good bigs like that.

I can't stomach the thought of that team "up the road" knocking off the undefeated, number one seed & then hearing about it ENDLESSLY into perpetuity...

And, in this same vein, if Hunter Sallis puts on that Creighton hat tomorrow morning, it will be like a death in the family (not really, but close)

Hope not.

Well, it looks like Hunter will be taking his talents as far way from Omaha and Nebraska as possible. Let's hope his new team gives another dose of disappointment to all the faithful "On the Hill"

Juwan Howard is what I wished Erstad would have been for our baseball team.

Creighton going bucket for bucket with one of the better offensive teams of the last 20 years. Jealous.

They have never been here before, so definitely playing with house money at this point.

Jays only chance was to catch the Zags napping in the 1st half. Heading for a G-town like blowout.

First, you buy a blue shirt.

Under it, you wear a red tee.

Creighton alumnus? No?

Kneither is he, nor she, nor we.

 

Cornhusker football — cool.

Really loved the N-U glory.

Each fall, I root for red.

In winter, a different story.

Going to paint my face blue.

Have to display my love for 'Jays.

Tassled loafers ready.

On these Omaha winter days.

Now, about my trust fund ....

Hindsight is 20/20 but I never thought the game felt that way. The Zags scored so easily it always appeared to me that it was just a matter of time before the rout was on.

Agree. Things came pretty easy for Gonzaga and it did not seem like they played that well. When Ballock struggled it was over for Creighton.
