A Rick Barnes team looking like garbage in the tournament? No way.

I just didnāt have it in me to do brackets this year with the Livers injury and losing my big dog. Itās sometimes nice to just enjoy this tournament with practically no rooting interests except for crazy outcomes and games.

I agree that heās a key glue guy. But you just canāt lose to a 15 seed. Thereās no context in which that isnāt a debacle. ORU finished in 4th place in a small conference.

I never do brackets for this reason. Love to just enjoy each game as its played with no real rooting interest ahead of time

Ok, so accepting that - question - how does a coach as good as Holtmann have teams that execute that poorly in the closing minutes? Not like this is new for them.
Also, no one answered this but the loss means thereās no way weāre getting rid of Washington and Liddell, right?
Itās really bizarre how bad OSU is in late-game situations. Even when they won close games they just barely held on.

Have the players received the vaccine or been offered the vaccine so they can be safe outside their motel room? As much as I love the tournament it is not worth the players being jailed in the motel with box lunches.
Iām just shaking my head that I actually had a Rick Barnes team beating Cade Cunningham. Think I changed it at the last minute too. Two Sweet 16 teams down, but Elite 8 still alive.

OSU nearly choked the game away against Michigan in the B1G semi. Turnovers, bad shots and unforced errors. Itās incredible.

Itās something to behold. Theyāve had some incredible collapses and near collapses.
I dig that Clark Kellogg never learned to spin a basketball. His reasoning was entertaining.
And also against Purdue and Minnesota. They blew double-digit leads three games in a row in BTT only to survive by the skin of their teeth. Then they nearly knocked off Illinois only to fall apart in the end there, too. Really bizarre team.

Dang ole rocky top
I havenāt done a bracket since high school for this reason. I suppose I also donāt need additional, recurring evidence of my idiocy. I get enough of that in my day-to-day life.
(And sorry to hear about the dog man, hope the Tourney brings you some happiness in unpleasant times.)

No matter what, at least at the end of the day today, we can safely say that weāre all a little Oral Robert.

If the Flame pull this out, does OSU immediately drop their appeal?

If theyāre down by enough, maybe they self-impose a ban for the rest of the tournament?

Many thanks. Itās a pretty deep hurt. Itās so weird listening to games with sound again. I always had to ask you all what I missed because any sports sounds coming from the tv made him go bonkers.

Why is a Christian university named Liberty? Not trying to denigrate Christianity, but Liberty just doesnāt seem like a concept that is rooted in any religion. Should be called Sacrifice or Faith or something.

Whoās going to have the liberty insurance commercial jingle going through their head if they win?
