Liddell with an absolutely terrible last four minutes. Collapsed.

“They’ve got a date with the Michigan Wolverines coming up in San Antonio.”

Man, that sounds sooooo sweet.

Chris Holtmann got one NCAA win out of EJ Liddell’s career.

If anyone doesn’t know this, Villanova was Eli’s dream school growing up. He has the motivation of avenging the NC game, motivation to beat his childhood dream school, motivation to keep his career going.

Illinois and OSU no longer in the tournament. Hope Sparty and Wisconsin join them.

I like the way we match up with Villanova a lot more than I like how we matched up with Tennessee. Their elite defense was scary af.

I really like our chances and think Nova will only be favored by 3.5 or so

I avoided turning the game off and playing with my kids for about 5 mins just to hear a line like that :joy:

What. The. Puck.

EDIT: Is this news to anyone else? How are they so stacked with seniors? What in god’s name are they going to do next year?

They celebrated him at senior day, and he’s a junior, so I think he’s all but gone.

Young and Wheeler are both gone since their eligibility is done. Sotos, Russell and Brunk as well I’m 90% sure. Towns and Sueing were injured all year but have eligibility left and will be back.

Ahrens is probably the biggest question mark. Has his 5th COVID year left, but really fell out of the rotation this year and especially at the end. Wouldn’t be surprised if he transfers.

I love that he celebrated at Senior Day as a junior only to lose to Michigan

Congratulating myself for remaining so committed to the sports mindset that I didn’t spend a second rooting for OSU even tho it was clearly in my self interest.

I will trade an MSU win for a Wisconsin loss tonight.

EJ will be a first round pick. Would be shocked if he stayed.

I will not. I refuse to see anything about how Izzo ended K’s career lol

What a day that was. We went in there playing for our tourney lives, with no Hunter, and broke their hearts on Senior Day.

let’s compromise and have both MSU and Wisconsin lose.

Have a bucket ready for all the throwing up I’ll be doing during the Izzo-Coach K love fest

I think what the other person said about Nova being a CSU power mushroomed team is right. Dickinson will be challenged because he will be drawn out on the perimeter but he has the potential to go for 30 and draw fouls.
