Bear Down Wildcats

There's nothing that Illinois could have done with that buzzsaw. Although Houston's in the AAC, they play like a Big 12 team. It seems that a lot of Texas teams have the same DNA in their defense whether its Texas Tech, TCU, Baylor and Houston. They're a prime example of what total commitment to defense looks like. We show it in spurts.

Houston can beat Gonzaga. They're smarter and more consistently physical than Memphis, and they know how to play the interior. I don't know how they lost their Quad 1 games, but it seems they're peaking right now.

In a game against them, we would need everyone clicking on all cylinders.

Wilner always sucks

It looks like the line has hardly moved for tonight's game. Still -9.5.

TCU turns it over on 21% of their possessions (ranked in the #330s)

He heard footsteps, he made the safe decision to not come down on someone.

I dont understand how they don't get how forward momentum works. Are you supposed to let go immediately and then do a backflip and land on your feet?

Nice replay without commercials.

I don't know why but I expected more out of Ohio St today.

I did too. This game is such a snooze fest. Hope Michigan gives Nova a better game.

Bad call....BUT I do enjoy Illinois crying over bad officiating.

Maybe I was just hoping for a Michigan / Ohio St sweet 16 matchup. Oh well.

Can someone post a pic of Channing getting whacked in the face on this guy’s feed?

Playing a 7 or 11 seed to get to the Final 4 sure would've been nice.

Kelvin looks like he thinks reaching the Sweet Sixteen is the ultimate ceiling for his team.

Beat TCU then prove him right.

That should do it.

Ohio St. had so many chances.

I’ll never get sick of watching Ohio st lose

Arizona game thread is up

Yep. If that game happens it's going to go down to the wire. Of course KenPom doesn't properly account for Mark or Sasser injuries (or Kriisa for that matter). I do think that we're a better team than Houston but it's close and we would be playing them 200 miles from their campus

Benn will get a lot of Ts if we get that ref

The game changed a lot after this call.

Just win and move on. Welcome back to the S16

Everyone is mad at us because they didn't call a foul on Arizona at the end of regulation near the half court line.

I figured as much. Seemed like he was out of control and about to commit a backcourt violation, and a call would have been a bailout.

And they didn’t call a similar foul in OT for us.

Fuck the haters.

Survive and advance.

Yup. Forced them to make a call.

Like I said in the game thread, if you played soft and finesse, you were not going to get calls.

If you were aggressive and assertive, you'd get calls for you called left and right. For both teams.

Just realized this is a nice home game advantage for Houston in the s16

Cardiac Cats are back v2.0….wow, just wow #speechless

Most of Benn's dunks were and 1's that weren't called.

This ….BTFD!

TCU is the LAST team to complain about fouls tonight.

Benn had so many non-calls near the basket

Also mad because Kier waved goodbye to TCU fans at the end.

The tcu player fell trying to avoid a backcourt. It was an amazing trap and a foul would’ve been horse shit in that situation. Fuck Avery Johnson and the fat boy in purple. Bear down!

Well-said, needs a repost!

3 of their guys had career games, and they beat Kansas with a far inferior game as a team. Please just defensive rebound vs Houston. Do that and get back to our regular offensive flow and we'll be alright

Avery Johnson was also calling for a foul when the TCU player walked himself into an elbow.

And of course we're the last game on Thursday....

Do out hearts ever get a break?

Seth Davis: Arizona was a little lax on rebounding.

Lol, one of many anti AZ comments made by that high pitched bastard.

We survived TCU's best shot. It seems we always get the opposing team's best game of the season.

AT did the same thing.

Maybe your fanbase shouldn't chant overrated next time, huh?

And the whining continues.

Honestly TCU fans must have been dishing out some serious shit talk for them to do that.
