I was at Reunion Arena the last time Texas played Xavier in the Sweet 16. Tom Penders' BMW team waxed the Musketeers.
I was there too. Went to X for undergrad (UT for MBA so I win either way). Up 12 at half and then melted in 2nd half. BMW was hot in 2nd. We had 3 NBA forwards on that team but outside shooting was cold (0-9 from 3pt). Friday should be fun but I think UT has too much bench. Predict 8pt win.

Penn State and Cal are interested in Rodney Terry. Now I don’t think he would actually take either job over UT but it does mean that CDC will have to probably make a bigger commitment to him than he would have otherwise had he not drug this out.
 
I'd rather be an assistant at UT than head coach at Cal.

But - "drug this out" - were you seriously ready to give this job to him a month ago? A week ago?
I would have given him the job after he won the big 12 tournament. I mean presumably they told him he had a chance at the job when he replaced beard. If that’s the case he finished 2nd in the conference and won the big 12. What else could he have done? Lol
 
Did Penn St’s coach leave?
Yep went to Norte Dame. They gave him a truck load of money.

He’s an Indiana guy though to. Coaches HS ball there. Was an assistant at Butler and Purdue. So pretty natural fit
 
KState playing very good this tourney. In other news, Uconn put a major ass whoopin to piggy.
 
Gonzaga has decided not to play defense against UCLA and UCLA has decided to let Timmie score as many points as possible and see if they can outscore him…. Interesting strategies
 
They may play a weaker schedule, but it’s hard to go 31-3 at any level. FAU has got something.

Yeah they are a good team.

The way Tennessee and Virginia and others play it’s really hard to win a lot of games in the tournament. Just hard to grind out ) games in row like that. You usually get clipped at some point.
 
Wouldn't it be wild if Princeton advances to the elite 8?
I find it odd that the only bracket that REALLY held its form is the one Texas was placed in.

The final 4 teams in our bracket are #1, 2, 3, and 5.

Go check out some of the others. We can't catch a break.

And out of the 4 brackets we probably drew the weaker of the 1, 3, 4 seeds.

We got the best draw of any other bracket as far as matchups. I would say we have the weakest 1 and 3 seed for sure.

I was thinking the same thing about our bracket. And if we beat Houston there will be no #1 seeds in the final 4.

The little X had 9 teams in the tournament. Only 1 team got in the sweet 16 and they're out.

I believe the SEC had 3 teams in the sweet 16. Two of them have lost and the other one plays tonight. A former coach here in Sacramento predicts that SDS will beat AL hope he's right.

I hope Gonzaga beats UConn.
It's looking good for KSU right now.

SDS over AL
Houston over Miami
Creighton over Princeton
Texas over Xavier hookemhorns
 
We had about 8 teams from the tournament here in Sacramento last weekend. The media's favorite fans were from Princeton.

One of them admitted they're surprised they're in the sweet 16.

Of all the fans that were here they spent the most money hotels, restaurants etc...

They're not going to beat Creighton but this year anything goes.

I have SD St beating nana too. They are tough man. Them and UConn are going to be tough outs.
 
San Diego State beat AL.

If Miami hangs on that means NO number one seed will be in the elite 8.
Crazy. But Houston had been playing with fire all tournament. They were behind Northren KY late in the 2nd half of that game. And they were down 10 to Auburn at halftime last game.
