2021 NCAA Tournament Open Thread

The shooter jumped into Ayo a bit but still, if you’re in bad defensive position you’re going to get tagged with that call.

Dad’ll have him shooting at the hoop in the back yard until dusk.

This Loyola team in terms of KenPom and the eye test is the exact same as the 2018 Natty Michigan team. Both were mid #30s on offense and #3 on defense.

Loyola is at like 1.6 PPP after each floor slap

Both teams in bonus now. If only Loyola would make their FTs! 4-9 so far

Adds to the fun for us after the self-declared big-ten champs lose.

This game is like an upmarket version of ACU-Texas.

LOL at Ayo calling out the floor slap like a choreographer.

Turns out, it’s not a floor slap – they’re just in awe of Loyola-Chicago, and prostrating themselves appropriately, like Wayne and Garth in Wayne’s World.

I’m waiting for the Illinois 3-steal-3. It is coming.

They have been so good at answering Illinois runs.

Oh, alrightt then😅

Wow, what a pass by Ayo.

I love an undisciplined Illinois team coasting off their size and transition game all year getting schooled by a motion offense

Krutwig’s gravity on the game is really something. Everything they do is enabled by his skillset and vision. Just a ridiculously special player and all the surrounding parts are perfectly aligned around him to capitalize.
