Lando Griffin Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 19 minutes ago, BilliesBy40 said: Loyola is more likely to lose to Ga Tech (without their best player) than keep it within 10 against Illinois. On that note, I’m excited for the Loyola game today. Tough draw for both teams. So much hate for Loyola Chicago. Why @brianstl? They’ll give them a game. Drexel couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn first half and has no one who can match Kofi. Krutwig can. need it get by GTech first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve watched them a few times this year. Great defensive team, and they play hard. Their talent level is below what you would expect of an 8 seed though. I think Illinois is as bad of a matchup as possible for them because of that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I would’ve given anything to get off that 8/9 seed line. At least stay away from Zags or Illini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. It’s also a bad draw to get the in-state 1 seed. Illinois is capable of a let down game, but I doubt it’ll happen against an in-state opponent with a recent final four.

Bay Area Billiken Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 FL wins in OT over VA Tech. Otherwise, most of these games are lousy, like exhibitions, pseudo byes for high seeds. Too many teams are IN, collecting the Unit, that belong nowhere near this NCAA Tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A10Ref Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Surprised GT playing so well without their stat sheet stuffer. Losing a 17 and 8 big man against Krut I presumed was an easy death sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlarry Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 OSU ORU go to OT. I didn’t like that last possession by OSU and I see it way to often in those situations. Why in the last 5 seconds do teams think a 21 foot step back jumper is the play? I see it all the time from all types of teams. OSU has been scoring by taking it to the basket and getting it inside. No reason to abandon thy because time is running out. Take the ball to the basket and make something happen. No need for a fadeaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
