2021 NCAA Tournament Open Thread

I submit that if Michigan manages to shoot better than 44% from the free throw line, they’ve got a pretty good chance to shut Bill Walton up. That’s something, truthfully, the whole country should be able to get behind.

And OSU got super lucky with 3’s, Oregon was the worst possible matchup for Iowa, Bill Self is a bad coach, Alabama’s FT shooting helped them get pantsed by 20+ pts in overtime.

Some of these would be convenient explanations if the games were close, but the better teams won by a good amount in all of the games.

You do not speak for me re: Walton.

Oregon really just let this dude dribble with only his right hand from half court to the rim lol.

Figueroa appears to go to Isaiah Livers’s barber.

Sounds like Michigan would enter those games with nothing to lose.

I’m game.

So, the guy in the Buick commercial is well-known for… knowing where he’s going? “Hey, it’s Bob! He displays basic navigational competence!”

Which is great for Michigan because Michigan is basically playing house money without Livers. Quite a few people had Michigan losing in the 2nd round or Sweet 16. However, they have UCLA and they’ll be heavily favored to win this game. There’s some pressure on Michigan but Juwan is the right coach to lead them in that time of the year

What in the world is USC doing here? Whole team is looking “emotionally drunk” or possibly physically.

It’s odd to talk about getting no respect when you’re a 1 seed, but we actually can - we haven’t gotten much from the national media since Livers’ injury. It’s been taken for granted that we aren’t a Final Four team without him. I think the team is just fine with that.

They realized they’re up against the unstoppable force known as the Pac-12.

Wow, what a huge shot. USC looked like they got caught thinking about Tuesday too early.

Don’t jump!!

It’s hard to say that Oregon’s giving the game away when they were down by 21, but they’ve made a plethora of mistakes that have prevented them from getting back into the game.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game with this many guys catching the ball standing on the out of bounds line. Ever, forget just the tournament.

Man, Mobley was clearly tired of that kid’s act. He just took a life :flushed:

Can we please not talk about Oregon free throw rebounding in the tournament?

And just imagine, this Oregon team blew the doors off Fran’s Iowa.

Raise your hand if you had this in your bracket:

The only reason that’s surprising is that Iowa somehow got a 2 seed.

Technically, USC will have the toughest elite 8 matchup.
