Sweet 16 Thursday Thread

[big10fan]

Anyone want to talk some B-ball tonight?
If nothing else, it can take our minds off the coaching situation.

Butler up early.

 

[big10fan]

and Washington v WVU jus tipped off too.

any early predictions?

 

[HawkeyeShane]

Syracuse is on pace to score 20 for the half, proving that they really are looking to join the Big10...

 

[HawkeyeShane]

I'm looking for Butler to pull the upset and WVU to beat Washington.

(Bold Butler prediction considering they're up 19-12, I know)

Didn't I hear that WVU has some injury issues? Washington could be one of those dark horse teams.. Heck, they already are. Syracuse is nicked up too aren't they?

 

[big10fan]

can't they score points in that Wash v WV game?
4-2 at almost 5 min in?

 

[big10fan]

butler up by ten right now with 6 min to go in half.

One of their PGs is out...some think it's a big deal while others think the other guy had wrestled the share of minutes from him and it's not that big of a problem for them.

Syracuse is playing stupid ball... I fear Butler is going to regret not being up by more later in this game. They should be winning by atleast 15 right now.

Are they playing in a dome? Maybe the shooting is suffering? I'm not sure where that game is.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

Butler is starting to now extend the lead. Nice to see. They lead by 14 now..They will need every point. Syracuse will make a run.

 

[dhow]

Butler up 12!

 

[HawkeyeShane]

Did Stevens' mom drop him off at the door before tipoff? Man, that guy looks like the white B.J. Armstrong...

 

[big10fan]

syracuse has 10 TOs already?
what the heck is going on?

 

[dhow]

Barta is just stalling til Butler is eliminated and he can fly in Brad Stevens for the press conference

One thing I just noticed about Butler: 5 black guys on the court. Who is doing the recruiting for Butler? I guess it isn't Lickliter....

we'd have more diversity, but lick ran 6 players off, 5 of which were black.
