AAC 0-1 in tourney so far and Houston has to play the same kook from Ga State we played and he mentions that they lost to Cincy.

One score game now. The same slow water torture that was inflicted on us.

That was traumatic to witness for me. It brought back so many bad memories from last year. I actually became angry watching it and thought the same thing about where was this last year during UC's game. We really had no business losing to that team.

I am gator fan by birth and a UC fan by my degree. That game was awful. It brought back last year in spades. Luckily the outcome was different. Hopefully it will be sign of luck for UC this weekend.
 
I still think K State got screwed having to go out to California and play a California team. Anteaters are looking good.
 
Our shooting wasn't nearly as bad as Wisconsin's. 32% from the field, 5-30 from three. Woof. Another favorite knocked off by a west coast team in California.
 
UCF won their first NCAA tournament game ever last night against VCU, 73-58. Kind of disappointing that as a 9 seed they seemingly played a less talented team than we did, but congrats to them regardless.

Houston beat Georgia State by 29 points and will play Ohio State on Sunday, who upset Iowa State 62-59.

I watched the Ohio State game. It looks like the Big Ten was the conference this year. I will be surprised if Houston beats them. I am happy to see the Taco v. Zion matchup. Rooting hard for the Mexican corn shell but of course not optimistic. Charles Barkley said the play where Zion out ran a guard to the ball and then recovered for the layup was one of the two best basketball plays he has ever seen. Compared him to Lebron and basically said he has no business playing in college.
 
LSU is the first team to make it to the sweet 16. This is fitting that the first program to make it is known to have paid for their players. Too bad the NCAA didn’t ban LSU from the tournament instead they will just vacate their wins at a later date....do you think LSU fans give a shit about that right now? The NCAA is a joke.

Vegas has Houston and so do I. I saw them lose at northwestern near the end of the regular season and I wanted to gouge my eyes out.

Houston is a much better team than OSU

Haha you think Texas fans are wishing they didn’t fire him?

No. I also think if we fired Cronin, he went to sweet sixteen somewhere else and we hired a fast paced offensive coach who was worse than Cronin, our fans wouldn't regret it either. Fans are irrational.

People would then complain that we couldn’t stop anybody from scoring. It’s just the nature of the beast.



There does come a time when maybe the school and the coach need fresh starts. I just mean this in general. We saw it play out with Marvin Lewis.


It doesn’t always work out for both sides either. Using the Rick Barnes example he had a run of 2 sweet 16s, 2 elite 8s and a final 4 in a 7 year span. Then the next 7 years didn’t get out of the first weekend. The fresh start worked out great for Barnes, sometimes it’s just not the school that need a change.
 
Man, the refs let Zion do anything... hammer guys, double dribble, nothing called against him. Guess he is so good they don’t want to call anything on him.
