Non-UA Tourney Thread

I can’t wait to play in the big 12. It will toughen up Arizona for march

Worse case scenario in the 12 is we become like this years Michigan State...quality games but limping into a perennial 9 seed

[Fishclamps]

Go Illini…

I knew they've been overlooked all year long, everyone was so hyper focused on Purdue in that conference they couldn't even be bothered to see what Illinois was doing.

Granted there might be some sort of charges coming for TSJ at some point, but that dude is absolutely absurd. One of the top players in the country easily.

[Fishclamps]

Marquette is pulling an Arizona

[CalStateTempe]

Gonzaga pulling an Arizona too. Cold the last 7min

[dirtbags]

down go the ladyfurds - what a huge 2nd half for nc state. totally busted my wbb bracket!

[Djcat]

Marquette is pulling an Arizona

Another 2 seed can’t buy a three. 2seeds not having a good S16

[TheCat]

Marquette is pulling an Arizona

And did you her what the sideline reported Shaka saying with about 9 mins left? "We are in the bonus take the ball into the paint" I wonder if that was Tommy's council also. Easier said than done. Marq has a guy that looks exactly like Pelle. NCST playing with house money.

[Djcat]

Marquette fans having the same meltdown as we did last night. Ah misery loves company. Jacking up 3s are a major theme. Too familiar

[TheCat]

They took more than we did.....

[MrKyle]

Well we didn’t lose to an 11 seed right?

[Fishclamps]

They also shot worse than us, which is pretty impressive

[MrKyle]

Indeed - saw their percent as game was winding down and was amazed another team could surpass our inability to hit a 3!

Purdue's shooting is unreal.

Good offense beats good defense in the tourney. Every single time.

[dmjcat]

Fire their coach!!!!!!!!!!

Oh wait, I'm just channeling my inner Beardownwildcats.com NCAA tournament post-game loss hysteria

We are tame on here compared to the facebook groups

[AZCatGirl]

In a logical world all these upsets would make Arizona fans feel better.

But we don't live in a logical world.

[UAEebs86]

Of course Shead gets hurt against Duke.

[dmjcat]

Fire Sampson!!! What a bum. No leadership!!!

Wait, I'm still channeling

[AZCatGirl]

I think someone from Duke put a curse on the North Carolina team, and included Caleb Love in that.

Still can't take that win in Cameron away from us though!

Yeah, sticking with this...

[CalStateTempe]

Duke in the EE, Arizona embarrassed and out of the tourney to a lower seed

Either Duke or NCState is in the FF

The more things change, the more they stay the same

Fm Arizona fandom life.

Remember how great we all felt that day?

It's that great being an Arizona fan!!!

BTFD!!!!

I can’t believe that Shead went down with an injury before halftime. This would be like Chef or Hall getting injured in our game with Clemson, only Shead is a freaking first team All American.

They are incredibly lucky, and Scheyer is one game from his first FF. In his second damn season.

Houston and UNC’s coaches too!! It’s a got to go situation when you lose in the round of 16 as a one seed.

Or so I’ve been told.

[Fishclamps]

Holy shit UCONN tied at half with illinois and then proceeds to go on a devastating 30-0 run to open the 2nd half. This team is something else.

[EastCoastCat]

I hate living in CT…

[UAEebs86]

Holy shit UCONN tied at half with illinois and then proceeds to go on a devastating 30-0 run to open the 2nd half. This team is something else.

They were up 5 at the half.

Fine then, virtually tied

[Fishclamps]

I don't get Clemson, they have some sort of divine protection.

[MrKyle]

Dabo Swinney must have called in a favor

At least Bama starting to hit some 3s

[azgreg]

[Fishclamps]

Oh look Clemson packed the paint and Bama still took it to the rim and Hall gets a 4th foul

[MrKyle]

Bama lighting it up now..

[UAEebs86]

Cinderella's slipper broke.

[SCCats]

0/2 ft on one side, 2/2 ft on the other. 4 point swing and the game is over.

And the coach’s soul searching commences.

[dmjcat]

0/2 ft on one side, 2/2 ft on the other. 4 point swing and the game is over.

Don't forget that there will be 67 coaches doing a lot of soul searching at the end of this tournament.

[Fishclamps]

You're welcome Alabama

I know. It’s intense!!!

[MrKyle]

Think UConn will roll over Bama but glad to see Clemson go down

[RawleArenas]

What's the deal with teams we beat in the non-conference making it further than us in the tournament? It seems like those wins are fools gold.

Last year it was Creighton and San Diego State, this year Alabama and likely Duke tomorrow? Just weird.

[CatsbyAZ]

F Alabama

Some teams get better during the season, some don't. What's so surprising about that?

I expect that Alabama really wanted to have another shot at Arizona, before the \ loss to Clemson...

Remember the horror of ETSU in 1991/92???

[Merkin]

[Beachcat97]

So ours is AZ/Gonzaga/Utah/SDSU/UNC

[Merkin]

[Catintheheat]

I am happy for Purdue. First FF since 1980. They have had many good teams since 80 but gained a reputation of losing to lower seeded teams. They have made it to the tourney 34 times and never won. I am cheering for them.

[Merkin]

But you are from Indiana, so you get a pass for that.

I have several cousins that went to Purdue being my dad is from Indiana also.

[AZCatGirl]

Anyone but UConn or Duke please.

[SCCats]

What??

“This game is getting away from Duke.”

It’s 42-38 with nearly ten minutes to go in the game.

[dovecanyoncat]

Die Dook Fuck!! Die!! Die!! Fucking Die!!
