ND gets a 6 seed

[Soko 128]

If we had done what Michigan did on their last possession then you would all be calling for Brey's head.

 

 

Good win, move on. Very interesting match up next.

IMO, the biggest thing that led to this victory was getting out of the 2-3 zone. michigan wasn't getting totally open looks and they went stone cold.

No clue why it took till halftime for Brey to switch to the man to man, how many wide open threes did Michigan have to hit? Very lucky to win that IMO, if we rebound that poorly or turn it over like we did today we'll get knocked out by SFA.

 

Brey owes Beachum one because he definitely saved us today. It's clear we have to win with offense so Colson and Auguste need to stay out of foul trouble. Also we need to hit lights out from three all tourney, that means Ryan, Beachum and Jackson taking way more shots.

They disappeared against Georgia Tech and have never been seen since.

 

Exactly my thought process. Ever since that game it's been different.

[LasVegasIrish 0]

Great win by the squad. Did exactly what they do seemingly every game. Make us scratch our heads, but find a way to crawl back in it.

 

Big ups to VJ! Coming out party to the rest of the country who hasn't witnessed his awesomeness this year.

Definite props to Beach. Him and Auguste have really stepped up this past month with Jackson and Vast struggling. He's even has some great defensive plays down the stretch for the Irish.

I thought this bracket was tough but I think we have a great shot at winning the next two games. I think the elite eight will be tough for this team to get past but I think we can get there. SFA, Wisconsin and Xavier are all very beatable.

Xavier has been my favorite CBB team all year long. Every team is beatable, but that might be the best team we face all year if we get the chance. Not as talented as UNC, but they are probably the deepest team in the country and do everything well.

Don't let the name fool you, SFA isn't a joke. In the second half, they kicked the crap out of a good WV team.

ND favored by 3.

I'm an XU Alumn and follow them in passing, their Freshman G/Wing Summner should be a lottery pick. Not to mention they've got a lot of size and a deep bench. If ND and XU played 10 times, XU would 9 games. However, it only takes one game, that's the beauty of March.

 

Anyway, that's all irrelevant, SFA is a much better team than Michigan, ND can't afford to play sloppy like they did last night.

Agree. Looking past SFA would be a huge mistake. If ND can limit the turnovers like I know they can I think they win this game. I've been saying all year when ND scores 70+ they will win...and for the most part that's been spot on. SFA, before the WVU game was 0-4 against the KENPOM top 150 so that says a lot about their conference, however. How can they do having to play back to back solid power 5 programs? That's a tough question to answer.

 

ND is one of the most dangerous teams in the country when they are playing their best. If Vasturia can find his rhythm again this team can make a run.

 

I'm with you XU though. Like I said, Xavier was my tourney champion as early as 2 weeks ago. Still have them in the final 4.

[ndomer4 532]

Atleast we started off shooting better than the Michigan game but we just don't play defence.

[ndomer4 532]

Vasturia needs to stop these stupid unneccessary passes, guys a turnover machine.

[ELDER06 248]

That was a block. Maybe I'm being a b1tch, but I feel like the announcers are letting their rooting interest for SFA show.

[ndomer4 532]

Anyone got a site for stream? mine just crapped out and i'm at work.

[ELDER06 248]

Jackson on top of his game... and there's Vasturia with another horrible to that leads to a go ahead three.

He's been non existent in the past month. If Jackson goes, not sure beyond VJ who scores next year.

[ELDER06 248]

Walkup got away with a foul there, no surprise, everyone's creaming their pants over him.

For, once I'll agree with you.
