Bracket challenge

[PhatMack19]

So the Final Four will be:

C-USA #1
Mountain West #1
Big East #4
ACC #1

Ugly.  That second half is the kind of offense that plagued Texas the last several years.  They’d been dynamic all tournament, and really most of the season.  It seemed like carr going out really hurt them, and even when he came back they couldn’t regain the momentum. 
 

an aside: with a tie game and 1:00 left, Cunningham is blocking out and a guy jumps over his back and flips.  They call it on Miami and then change it.  Instead of two free throws for Texas and a lead with a minute left, Miami hits both and goes up by two.  After an empty trip by Texas Miami scores and its game over.  But how is that not over the back?  How can you even block out if the guy behind you can just jump up and fall over and get a foul called?  Even the Miami player knew he’d fouled him.  He thought he’d fouled out and was holding his head in his hands on the floor.

That was as textbook of a box out as I’ve ever seen. Completely dumbfounded by that call.

Just as we all predicted 

[rupert3]

6 Texas teams down to ZERO kinda hard to take

I think 6

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@TxHoops I really thought Creighton would be my predicted darkhorse team to get to the final four if one got there, not Miami (or Marquette). This tournament is pure chaos. 

😂 the weirdest tournament ever.

FAU had some pretty impressive wins IMO

Glad that's over for a week

7 if you count the 1st 4

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

I'm rolling with UConn vs SDSU with UConn winning it all. 

 

(Which means we might as well get ready for the unexpected again 😂)

[TxHoops]

Rice didn’t have near enough touches in 2h.  Should have played Morris in 2h when Carr got banged up.  Oh well.  Glad I don’t have tickets to this Final 4.  
 

But Go Aztecs and Jae LeDee

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Miami had a guy go perfect from the field and FT line, Jordan Miller his name. 27pts, 7/7 FGs, 13/13 FTs. First time in the tournament that has happened since 1992. 

 

hell of a game.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

37 people picked the Final Four correctly, as if this tournament couldn't get any weirder.

I would like to know when was the last time that no #1, #2 or #3 seed not make the final four?

I cannot recall a year where not one of those 12 teams not make the final four.

That ref got paid.

It's never happened before until this year.

Really mind boggling if I wasn't already boggled

Texas did the right thing and removed Coach Terry's interim tag.

An advantage of a Final 4 without bluebloods is that tickets are extremely cheap. I was able to get club seats for Saturday's semifinals for less than $200, which is fantastic considering one ticket gets you into both games. I don't have a dog in the fight but I figured this would be too neat of an experience and too cheap to pass up, especially since its less than a 2 hour drive from my house.

I was so thankful I didn’t buy tickets before Sunday’s games.  I can’t imagine how far they dropped when Texas lost.

With how bipolar Arkansas was this season making it to the Sweet 16 for the 3rd season in a row is a damn good run. 💪🏾

Hogs throwing some heavy weight money around in the portal.

Coach Muss and company don't play around when it comes to the portal. I expect them to reload again this off-season. 

 

I'm wondering if Coach Cal gonna try to raid the portal for some 3pt shooters this off-season. Honestly both UK and Arkansas need a few of those not just one or two.

Caleb Love will have a lot of cash thrown his way from all the major programs this offseason.

I keep seeing Mizzou in the mix. But money does talk.

They palm the ball on every play. They couldn’t make the moves they do if they had to DRIBBLE.

Palming the ball (double dribble) and traveling (changed pivot foot and picked up pivot foot) on same play with no call. He couldn’t make that play by the rules.
