Official Gamethread: Miami Elite 8

[pdub]

We outscored them by 34 in the second half.

ESPN + sucks!!! No Gameday Live broadcast for post game.

15 points allowed right?

[PhDhawk]

Locker room celebration was awesome

[pdub]

Nova is a slightly better Baylor.
But down their second best player, we can do it.

[PhDhawk]

Again, I don't think these "breaks" always help that much in single elimination setting. Certainly didn't help us beat Creighton.

Players can rally around injured teammate and frees up Wright to change things up making them harder to scout

[pdub]

Sure.
But I'd prefer to play them down their second best guy.

[InfiniteJ]

Jeff Gueldner is the best...he just said "We all know next weekend is going to be the Coach K Invitational...".

[PhDhawk]

Sure.
But I'd prefer to play them down their second best guy.

Yes. But I wish it had happened earlier, so we'd know what adjustments they make.

47-15 in the 2nd half.

[AlOerter]

Is there any postgame TV broadcast? Can't find it anywhere.

Villanova was only playing 6 guys per game before this injury. So either their 5 remaining guys Wright trusts with more than a few minutes of mop up are going to have to play the entire game or someone who is not at all used to playing meaningful minutes is going to be pressed into action in a Final Four.

Aren't those the guys who 6 for 8 from 3 against KU?

It obviously helps us. I'm just saying not as much as it might seem in 1 game.

It's on here in Wichita...should show a replay on ESPN+ later.

Doesn't matter if Nova is up, down, whatever. Jay Wright vs. Bill is the concern.

If Wright took the OSU job, we'd never win in Stillwater again.

Had to make a halftime beer run.

We win by double digits

It's like I'm a geenyus or something

[InfiniteJ]

5:09 PM tip-off on Saturday.

Wouldn't a genius have had his fridge stocked before the game?

Thanks Infinite J.
