There’s no way I can stay up for this second game and be functional for tomorrow’s late tip.

Mdemorest4 · March 30, 2021, 1:31am

Me either. And yet here I am.

Mdemorest4 · March 30, 2021, 1:34am

(On second thought, I’ll be shaking with nervous energy no matter how late the game is tomorrow. No worries y’all.)

Those dancing cgi monstrosities on the cbs broadcast are so bad. Can they really not afford something better? I think I might have nightmares, jeez

AC1997 · March 30, 2021, 1:46am

Maybe if they combined the over the top graphics from the NFL with this piss poor effort you’d end up with something decent.

We have a Paul Szelc sighting in the Elite 8. Wow!

Arkansas is toast.

Mdemorest4 · March 30, 2021, 2:13am

Yeah not looking good

I am still surprised they beat TTU, i didn’t see that coming despite the seed. I thought for sure Tech would take them out.

Baylor is going to light them on fire here. They haven’t even hit high gear in a month it seems like so maybe now is the time.

Thanks for allowing an early-ish bed time, Arkansas.

Following up on this, Houston did poorly enough that Michigan did sneak past them to #3, at least for now.

Baylor is… not following that same script at the moment.

Baylor is way more scary to me than Gonzaga from a um standpoint

CoryR · March 30, 2021, 2:23am

Matt Mayer is going to hit so many 3s against us in the NCAA title game.

Blue19 · March 30, 2021, 2:24am

I think most of us saw this coming. Baylor on a completely different level

Mdemorest4 · March 30, 2021, 2:25am

It’ll be a real shootout then. Sounds fun

Mdemorest4 · March 30, 2021, 2:26am

Honestly I didn’t. Baylor took a little to get back on track after the break. I definitely had less confidence in them in the tournament.

steve · March 30, 2021, 2:27am

These Baylor guards aren’t fair.

CoryR · March 30, 2021, 2:28am

Maybe, maybe not. Random guy off the bench always kills us in the championship game. I’m 99.9% sure I’ve already identified him and it’s Matt Mayer.

steve · March 30, 2021, 2:32am

That’s three fouls on Mitchell. If Arkansas has any hope they need to make a run while he’s sitting.

EasyBuckets · March 30, 2021, 2:34am

I might be the only one but, if Michigan wins this tournament, I want it to be through wins against Gonzaga and Baylor. That might be the most undisputed championship in history.

(Someone was talking about not wanting to play Baylor but I can’t find the comment now. )
