Fordgalaxy Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 Oregon blasting Iowa, up 16 with 3:20 to go. How badly was the Pac 12 underrated? Answer: very. Made it look pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 The semifinal of the Big Ten Tournament at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday afternoon featured a 1 p.m. game between Ohio State basketball and Michigan, followed by a 3:30 game between Illinois and Iowa. Those four teams are among the country’s top eight by any metric you want to use. https://www.clevelan...n-21-years.html Well, maybe not any metric. :P Yeah, "any metric" is a bit of a stretch, but they are easily all in the top 10. So far, two of them have played poorly and the other team played well. In any 5 game stretch, I'd be willing to bet the Big 10 team would win 4 of them.I-L-L L-O-LHow's this for a metric: Dunks allowed. Iowa gave up the most uncontested NCAA tournament dunks in the past five years. :lol: Big Ten’s NCAA Tournament embarrassment continues with Iowa getting throttled by Oregon https://clutchpoints.com/big-tens-ncaa-tournament-embarrassment-continues-with-iowa-getting-throttled-by-oregon/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Colorado the first PAC12 loss, showing once again that conference expansion was a mistake. :P Meanwhile, USC Trojans are rolling Kansas, up 64-42 with 8:30 to go. Make that 66-42. 71-44. Trojans 10/15 from long range so far. Edited March 23, 2021 by goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Decidedly west coast Sweet 16 which warms my heart......Gonzaga, UCLA, Oregon, Oregon State and USCA return to form! This was a nice little jab from USC's coach toward the analysts that hadn't given his team much credit: In his opening remarks, [coach] Enfield was sure to thank a pair of CBS analysts he’d heard pick Kansas and call his teams “undisciplined” on the air.“Imagine if we were disciplined,” he joked. USC's Isaah Mobley provided conference foe Oregon with some bulletin board material, though. On facing Oregon next, Mobley is quoted as saying: “They’ve been on a roll,” Mobley said.“I don’t want to say necessarily they’ve got luck. They’re a good team. But they stole the Pac-12 championship from us.” Edited March 23, 2021 by goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I was watching UCLA and Alabama and the Bruins were down early when I got pulled away (to help with a literary analysis essay, of all things).
