Sweet 16 Thread

Is it just me, or does Purdue's big dude hook and set moving screens constantly?

Well it’s definitely not the view of the refs and it should be. Purdue is not a likeable team with how they play.

Ben McCollum is the Curt Cignetti of this basketball season. He has torn up the excuse card for coaches who don't get it done in season one.

100%. all of the people who act like Poop had some insurmountable task in year 1 should take notes. Not to mention he pimp slapped Poop and took the platter he wanted.

I agree he's great but didn't he basically bring his entire Drake squad? Its still impressive but not as if he just took the same failing roster and turned it around.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

TKR's been doing this all season. Grabbed a guy's nuts then flops pretending he injured his shoulder.

He’s one of the biggest bitches I’ve seen play

 

[Drogon]

Im not counting out Cal here. Acuff is special.

Thomas has made 11 of his last 25 three pointers.

They won't be afraid of the moment.

Isn’t that what Cignetti did when he left for Indiana?

 

[RoyKent]

Is Houston planning to score in this game?

 

[Monday Nitro]

Hogs about to get blowed out.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Arizona is scary good.

 

[peterpiper09]

Pig will be ready in about an hour and 40 minutes

 

[JasonS.]

 

[Kameron50]

Yup Arizona has the look

 

[FatCatMan]

I’m hoping Arizona wins because I think they’re probably the most likely to beat Duke or Uconn if it reaches that point. I’m fine with Houston or Arizona winning it all. But I couldn’t handle watching Duke or UConn win.

 

[Monday Nitro]

Miller was saving his big guy for overtime since Purdue’s big man fouled out. Bad mistake.

 

[BigBlue1992]

The 2026 championship is Arizona’s to lose. I think Arkansas would have a good chance against anybody but them.

 

[Farsight Clone]

Arizona is scary good.

Zona's bigs are grown men. Our bigs are pillows.

 

[megablue]

Really good clubs playing tonight.

 

[peterpiper09]

There is that bastard referee in the Arkansas Arizona game

 

[megablue]

These guys look like they're playing 9' goals.

 

[gbl97]

Really good clubs playing tonight.

Watching this level of talent is a bitter reminder of how far Pope has to go in recruiting. This is why I can't understand people on this board wanting some of our guys back (Dioubate, Jelavic, etc.). Not on the same planet.

Are you talking about the one we beat on their home floor or Arizona?

 

[CoffeeCat]

That should be a flagrant on Pringle

 

[JakeKx]

Arkansas sucks complete *** as suspected l. Losers couldn’t even beat us. Best frosh wasted by Calipari. Some things never change

 

[19CatOfBlueBlood96]

Maybe JQ can transfer before halftime is over and help Arkansas out down low

 

[gbl97]

Was talking about talent and recruiting -- not one game.

He played right down the road from where I live. A couple cities over.

 

[JwUKFan11]

Awaka is a fully black Reid Travis

Arizona is scary good.

Lloyd is my number one choice of who I’d want.

Mo D can play in these games off the bench, he just can’t be your dude at the 4.

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

There's absolutely no reason Kentucky shouldn't be on Arizona's level. If it can't be done by the current regime then get someone that can do it. Kentucky has been too down for too long

 

[BigBlue1992]

Arizona is so smart and efficient. They don’t take bad shots. They’re also real good defensively.

 

[Monday Nitro]

Mo D can play in these games off the bench, he just can’t be your dude at the 4.

Yep. He’d be a perect 6 minutes a half.

 

[FatCatMan]

Lloyd is my number one choice of who I’d want.

I never understood why we didn’t bother contacting Lloyd last coaching search. Too late now, probably. Plus he’s a west coast guys

 

[gbl97]

Mo D can't dribble, misses layups, falls down for no reason, can't jump... We can do much better.

He should have been on the list!!!

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

This Houston/Illinois game is ugly. Not much scoring at all.

 

[Drogon]

Arkansas missing a lot of wide open 3s. Zona better push this out to 20.

Wagner just made one. Thatll help. Although, you gotta play better defense than that.

 

[ChiefPaducah]

Arizona’s offense is a thing of beauty. Their movement is phenomenal.

 

[Monday Nitro]

Zona looking like a heavyweight belt carrier.

 

[peterpiper09]

Cal has a worried look on his face.
Ellen is home getting the brownies, warm blankey, and Little House DVDs ready.
