And when you go cold, you get blown out. It is fundamentally unsound BB...I despise it.

Going cold seems rare for these teams though. Their coaches give them the green light to bomb away and they gain confidence from that.

What’s better than getting cheated out of Elite 8 appearance?

Getting to watch a former coach that got fired for lying about a secondary violation take Freaking Auburn to the Elite 8.

A freaking barbecue...still blows my dang mind, I love Barnes and glad to have him, but that was a travesty of justice. Pearl had us rolling.

It only has to happen once at this point.

Hopefully it happens soon for them. Don’t want to see Bruce anywhere near a FF.

I can only hope Okeke is done for good. Get those chucking Tigers outta there.

It's their style of play. This is all they practice. The whole offense is centered around that jump shot.

So they recruit players that can shoot. All their players.

Length and three point shooting. If you have those you can beat anyone.

Copy that...I still think balance is the key. A team like AU may get hot for a whole tourney and win sometimes, but most teams that win it are great all around teams.

Auburn is legit. North Carolina (like us) also have a huge amount of turnovers against them. Don't know how good they will be if they move on without that guy who got hurt (don't know how to spell it and won't try)

Auburn seems like they are peaking at right time.

 

[jakez4ut]

So Michigan, LSU, UNC all got run out of the gym.

And we went down in an instant classic.

We all lost.

But I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel just a tick better than I did last night.

We got heart at least.

Auburn isn't overly long.. I'd like to see them against UVA, Purdue, or TTU.

If Auburn and UK meet in the EE then I personally vote for Kim Jong Un to use nuclear war on that arena

Really need Houston to win tonight. Otherwise UK or Auburn is going to the final four.

Yuck.

I don't disagree.
But... Teams that employ that type of system don't really care about shooting%. It's about volume...

# of possessions and pace are more important...

Auburn hit 17 3's... You think they care it might take 40 attempts to get 17?

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Thats 3 losses from refs this season. Auburn the first game, LSU, Purdue

Kentucky first game is an actual game with proper officiating. They didn’t let us compete in Rupp.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

I love Bruce. Good for him since dumbass UT wouldn’t hire him back.

 

[jakez4ut]

 

[jakez4ut]

Auburn win by 17. Hit 17 3's.

If those we're all 2 pt buckets, it's a tire game.

Just keep shooting it is the philosophy.

They had 11 turnovers... But 8 steals and 6 blocks.... Pretty much negates the to's.

 

[Smokeytom]

I’m over it. Watching Goldie smash 3 homers tonight >>> watching Zion-apalooza

Don't forget all his players at auburn are bought and paid for too.

 

[jakez4ut]

Duke getting the calls

 

[jakez4ut]

Duke wins again in a rim out at the buzzer.

Luckiest mfrs ever

 

[jakez4ut]

Houston...

 

[volfanCLT]

This tournament is my living hell

 

[jakez4ut]

Damn
