Re: GYER38-0
Watched the game a 3rd time today. Went from thinking "Man we were really luck to escape" to now thinking, "Man we were really really unlucky to even be in that position."
3 horseshit offensive fouls on Towns in the first half. Some God awful and uncharacteristic turnovers by Lyles (5 in total), all of which were killers. Especially the one that cost us 3 points at the end of the first half. Then another in the second where they immediately banged a 3. Then the blatant goaltend, and some absolute hero shots by ND (I know we had our own as well).
With all those turnovers, they score less, we score a lot more (MATH!) and the game probably isn't all that close. We actually locked down on the 3 point shooters well, just got killed on the PnR all night and had too many mental lapses.
I'll say this, ND was better than I thought they would be.
I'm not thrilled to play Wisky since they are the only team with FF experience (besides Louisville who won't make the finals, and if hey did, we'll kill them), and because they always manage to hurt our best player, but I really think we dodged a bullet with Arizona losing. They are the better team - unless of course Wisconsin is hitting 10-12 from 3.
Wisconsin can certainly shoot it better than ND did last night, but they aren't nearly as quick, especially with Jackson still hurt, and while Kaminsky is a hell of a player, he's also a flopping little *****, so F him. Don't think he can kill us much worse than Auguste did anyway.
And then, again, how are they going to defend us?
