The rest of the games really are must win...

These kids spend their time in the gym too, so they could hit shots and obviously upsets happen all the time in March, but if we come to play and they don't shoot out of their minds, I think we win this comfortably.

From watching both practices last night, I would say that the big things are exactly what you have listed here. We definitely will have a physical advantage, so we need to knock down some shots and watch out for their ball movement. 

Maybe I am off my rocker, but from what I saw I am more worried about them shooting outside shots than dominating us on post-ups.

Geronimo threw down a dunk at the end that looked pretty effortless. So good sign. Awesome experience for sure. Pumped for tomorrow!! 

JG looked injury free to me as well, but they were not really pushing.

The enemy :)!

Maybe he wants to be an analyst.

 

Definitely a nice listen - Archie knows what he is talking about.

Lunardi thinks we won’t get past Wyoming. 

Good - I always prefer when the ESPN types are picking against us.

Free parking and admission, but it’s only from 6:35-7:15 so it may not be worth the drive depending on how far it is.

~50 minutes according to google

I'd like to hear their coach say after the game...

"That's the 9th best team in the Big 10!?!?" 

OR "When trying to make the come back, I really had hoped to score in the second half."

Well, someone has already started an Elite 8 thread 🙄

Enough about the elite 8 already. Let's get the Gonzaga FF game thread going.

Yep. I was excited when I saw the activity....thought for some reason someone had some news on this Xavier.

Me too!

I love how Xavier Booker's thread has become the Xavier Johnson thread.

If you are guaranteeing a win, it's UK.  It will always be UK for me.

Now, if you can only promise we get there and it's 50/50 we lose, I'll go Virginia Tech.

This assuming a win!

If we were going to lose, Yale would be my choice. Might as well flame out in style. 

If they have not already, GEIKO should do an NCAA version of the commercial where they have some big upset occurring while the fan looks ahead.

Its Monday morning and this reference is going over my head, not too proud to admit. Please fill me in on what I can't seem to get. Thanks

Sorry for the Monday morning confusion. The reference was the Geiko "it's what you do" commercials.

I hate to look ahead but as fans that is what we do...

If you are a basketball fan, you look ahead. It's what you do!

I hate to look ahead but as fans that is what we do. Listed as the 2nd most overrated team in the tourney just behind Ohio State is this team.

Do you work for Geiko?

IF we could catch lightning in bottle and go on a run, there are some interesting potential elite 8 opponents in PU and UK. Which would you rather face?

I hope we come out ready to play the 1972 UCLA Bruins. Let's win this.

Added bonus: We have a chance to be the first team to win 7 NCAA tournament games in a single season. (I assume that it has not been done yet)

My 2 cents: The B1G was really an 7-8 team caliber league this year (definitely not the strongest B1G of recent memory). The problem was that teams like RU, UM, and IU kind messed up their bracketing. I think we should have been better seeded, but we had many opportunities to be better seeded. 

Let's win some games. If we can get out of the first weekend, this first game just gives us one extra NCAA tournament victory on our resume.

Who ya want revenge against, Rutgers or Iowa?

Iowa - they are ranked, so the win would mean more. But I will take either win.

I hope we play Rutgers…let’s keep up with the revenge run

Iowa would be revenge as well...
