NCAA Tournament: Sweet Sixteen

[justafan]

I missed this about Kelly:

“Auburn basketball senior guard Miles Kelly has certainly found his rhythm at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, this season. The veteran is 16-for-29 from 3-point range in two games there, including a 7-for-15 performance in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Thursday”

Pearl joked that Pope was trying to get Kelly another year so he could get him in the portal. Pearl said something like, "That's exactly what I would do if I was Kentucky."

So here we come to Day 3. The granddaddy is obviously Arkansas/St. John's at the weird time of 2:40, but there are several other interesting games on. That Creighton/Auburn game at 7:00 is interesting as heck.

I can't imagine Arkansas hanging with St. John's, but crazier things have happened.

Must see TV today at 2:40

May not mean much to the rest of the world but for us Kentucky fans, yes we will be watching..

Yes, I didn’t link the article. I know Pearl was being funny, but the articles slant was that it was a knock at Pope.

Pitino on Calipari.

" We're both Italian. We both love the game. I think that's pretty much where the similarities end."

Rick don't like Cal. Not sure how Cal feels about Rick but those dudes are rivals and Pitino doesn't run from it...

Will be at the Auburn game. If the two teams from Thursday show up, Creighton should win. I’m guessing Pearl has been telling his team the same thing.

So, i ask the questions again.

Based on what we have seen so far, what teams really stand out?

Duke Houston Creighton Gonzaga.

I haven't watched every game but these stick out. Florida looked like it cruised, maybe a few others are playing elite right now as well.

Maybe it was the competition, but I thought Maryland looked awesome.

Agreed.

A old school team that plays through two bigs on the front line.

And one of those bigs is a do-it-all monster.

And one of those bigs is a do-it-all monster.

He is while the other is a old throwback OTIS THORPE type of player.

Would not surprise me today to see THIERO back. Cal talked about it yesterday and said Thiero has practiced. Also said Thiero would try to convince him he's ready to go lol...
