2022 NCAA Tournament Open Thread

The question is no longer whether OSU will win. It is now whether Loyola will reach the Teddy Allen line (37 points).

He hit one!

It would be so great if Loyola won by a score of something like 42-41.

24 for Loyola has terrible vision passing the ball. he’s got cutters running free to the rim and doesn’t even bother looking for them

Gotta root against Loyola because if Valentine is good, then MSU will have a good coach locked up for 30 years

loyola has looked abysmal on offense. No idea how they were 44 on kenpom in terms of offense. I can’t even tell who their PG is…and their center is an immense downgrade from krutwig.

plus, watching drew valentine become upset during a first round game reminds me of his brother also getting upset in the first round!

Offense actually looks good - it’s led to dozens of 2-ft shots.

Well you don’t get credit for running good sets lol…I guess I was referring to offense including actually making shots/scoring points.

OSU has a horseshoe up their dairy air

You know they’ll hire him unless Izzo has somebody else in mind to take the reigns

Somehow, this (OSU-Loyola) is still the “best” of the early games. That TTU-Montana State score … yikes.

I keep walking through the family room between meetings and seeing that TTU-MTSt score thinking it is Michigan State…wishful thinking apparently.

Izzo gonna overstay his welcome and they’ll miss the chance if he is really good.

Even if he does well, how do we know that’s on him or if he just inherited a good situation from Moser?

Azar Swain to Michigan, lets make it happen.

Ignore his mediocre ORTG number, dreadful AST rate and the fact that he’s a 6 ft Ivy league guard, he has 11 points already so I want him

Isn’t MSU like his dream job? Even if he gets a good second job, I imagine he would leave if MSU came calling.

A lot to play out before then though
