San Antonio might be one of my favorite underrated cities in america. Great tex-mex and margs

100%! I have enjoyed seeing peter griffin popping up the past few weeks

Point taken point take... definitely a final four would make me die today a happy man... Just was calling out the "machine" part. As I stated earlier, would love to see Moser at a big boy job, do great, and prove me wrong. Would love Majerus' coaching tree to get better and better.

lol I missed many periods in that one... Will be interesting to see how Loyola does in this tourney with a team that had a better winning percentage than 17/18.

I mean the regular season counted last year, so not 3 straight, but I get what you mean 3/4 is great. I just don't think we woulda given him the time he got there to turn it around and looking at entire body of work isn't a machine, but this is a "what have you done for me lately business" Would love to see him get a big job, him have massive success there, and you make me eat crow.

helluva comeback... Mobley might have some fun for USC on saturday. Take his over in points if you could get the prop bet

fitting end to that one.. two bricks

I am just saying he doesn't have a "machine" and gave you some reasons why... I don't think that makes me a jilted lover lol but to each their own

anybody else think drake should have more fouls than their already 200

okay drake and wichita are both trash... this is horrible basketball

I don't get the "Moser has built a machine"... I get the Caldarella run was awesome, and I could only dream of that (caveat their best win was against a four seed - so maybe if Majerus' team played LIU Brooklyn instead of MSU diff story as UVA lost in their bracket)... That was his first NCAA appearance in 7 years (according to this board 1 in 5 (4) is grounds for firing even inheriting a dumpster fire). Those previous years his teams were mediocre... and now this is his second tournament in four* years (asterisk because last year doesn't count but hard to imagine UNI not winning that tourney). All in all, to me that isn't a monster, but it is a solid program given it's low expectations. To compare that school to what a "monster" could be in the MO Valley with horrendous facilities - SIUC from 2000-2007. I will give you "Moser has marketed his program really well"

Drake is trash... Makes you think that a team that lost to Drake and Richmond could lose tomorrow even with the whole other team (sarcasm, not whole team but ACC POY) out tomorrow.

reading this second paragraph is painful

Yeah with god maybe they can have the top seeds on their side all lose to skate to the final four per last time

ACC POY and virtually their whole team is out. Congrats Loyola on maybe the easiest first round win possible.

I can't pick mizzery... Hope for a norfolk st esque let down (I know this is not a 15 vs 2... but lose by 10-15 to an OU team without their second best scorer)

You're not wrong that he is a good passer, but I think his tendency to put his head down and plug the lane can be detrimental to the offense we need to run with our holistic personnel. He is definitely the best big we have and I hope he tears the rim off in the NIT to finish his tremendous, record-breaking career, but I think next year our offense will be much smoother and more efficient.

As much as I love Has, he is a one dimensional offensive player. As sulfan13 was saying, our offense flowed easier without early in the year. Now, with his ability to attack the rim (which is superior, but can't do much else), our offense as a whole can struggle. Has helps pack the lane even more for a defense given he has zero chance at the mid-range.

yup... forgot this year didn't count... wow he's going to be recruited by EVERYONE

put up 18 on ohio state in the tournament and 16 on illinois earlier in the year as a freshman... This dude will be a coveted transfer with 3 years of eligibility.

Houston West Virginia might be the game of the tournament if it happens

also, mizzou losing first round for $500

Rooting for LSU and I have Oregon as my deep higher seed in the bracket (so - sorry VCU)... Also, I think Loyola losing first round to a hilarious face shield Josh Pastner.

what a smear job... or is it schmear?

We got hosed. Oh well. Happy to watch this billiken team play more ball in any tournament, though.
