Does anyone understand that Cherry Coke ad with the wolf people?

Agreed, I don’t think Bonnies score on us if we play a disciplined game. LSU is hot/cold but their hot can be scary.

I think it has something to do with being odd and proudly so. So if you’re different from the norm, drink cherry coke.

I wanna watch the LSU-Bonnies game to get a feel for the next opponent but I just can’t.

This Bonnie’s offense is pure torture. They’re passing up wide open or lightly contested looks from three on every single possession and turning them into mid range twos.

Are you sure you shouldn’t be blaming the cameraman?

bonnies are basically a less talented version of rutgers

If the LSU defender is 5 feet away shoot the three!!!

Ive always been under the impression the mid majors ranked as highly as the Bonnie’s maximize their talents by playing smart. They are the dumbest team I’ve ever watched.

In case anyone did not get the Shaq reference:

MJ Walker for FSU was just helped to the locker room. He leads them in Min%, best 3 point shooter, we’d highest USG but 2nd lowest ORTG among rotation players.

Granting that I did not watch any of the Illinois game, so I don’t know what their 16-seed looked like, St. Bonneventure is the worst team I’ve seen in the tournament so far.

We shouldn’t have any problems creating open looks off the ball against LSU, will just need to make them.

1418

So why are we playing In a different arena than our potential next round opponents?

1419

No sooner do you finish trashing a team in this tournament than it goes on an absurd run.

LSU really just had every player run away from the guy with ball standing 12 feet from the rim lol.

Pretty sure it is because of COVID protocols and they want everyone to play at about the same time. I believe there’s a 90 minute cleaning/sanitization gap between games. So every team plays somewhere different in each round.

Second round game will be a new arena for both teams.

Man, Colorado put up 96. Looked a bit like Illinois.

1423

18 points in 17 minutes against the 7th worst defense in the tournament is not a recipe for success.

1424

Didn’t watch it, but having a pick and pop undersized big is basically the complete opposite of Illinois, no?
