2021 NCAA Tournament Open Thread

Seriously, how good was Michigan’s defense in the Elite Eight game? UCLA’s scored 50% more points in 36 minutes against the best team in the country than they did in the full game against Michigan. And somehow UCLA’s free throw defense continues. Maybe they’re the best at saying “Noonan!”

Juzang has to be playing himself into 1st round pick discussion right?

I don’t quite know how they’re pulling it off…but UCLAs ability to adapt to their opponent and match their level is pretty incredible.

It’s hard for me to imagine that Michigan and Gonzaga are in a dead heat in defensive efficiency (87.9).

Watching UCLA compete like this makes me feel worse about losing but it makes me feel better about Michigan the basketball team. Not saying Michigan. Would be tied with the Zags with 2 mins left (maybe) but UCLA is clearly on another level right now and we were 1 shot from beating them

You are not helping to rebut my joke from Tuesday that your lack of a reverse jinx cost us the game…

There was a brutally honest interview with Martelli on the Michigan Insider podcast. He seemed shell-shocked.

Technically he has to average 31 en route to the tourney championship. My point was tongue in cheek

What an amazing sequence

This doesn’t resemble the same sport that was being played Tuesday.

I thought I did. Did I blow it?
