Official Gamethread: Miami Elite 8

[pdub]

The first three that goes down for us will be big.
Have to hope it happens early in the second to set the tone.

Basketball is simply making shots.
Let's make more if them.

I don't want the bracket to "open up" for us anymore.

Self can't coach in must win games he's supposed to win.

We'd do better playing a 2 seed than a 10.

What seeds were Oregon and Nova?

Unc and Duke were 1 and 2 seed in our most recent E8 wins.

What was Davidson?

[NewtonHawk11]

Halftime came at a good time. That could have gone to 10 in a hurry.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Think McGusty wants to go to the Final Four? Come on guys, you save nothing the rest of this game.

I expect a way different team coming out.

[Sparko]

Davidson was a final shot away from victory

2016 Nova where Ellis was invisible in his last game or 2018 Nova?

Powerful fan rationalization happening in here. "Actually this would be better if we were playing an equal today."

[Deleted User 863]

Well the good news is that we are battle tested. We've done this before. We can do this now.

A 30 footer from Steph, right? Honestly we’re lucky to have survived that.

You play two games. The one on thefloor and the one in your head. And the tendency of refs to want to help the lower seed. Except when Duke plays.

What was Davidson?

Exactly. We were luck to squeak by them, they had a shot at the end of the game...that's another team we shoulda beat by 20.

We play like shit in these situations.

Hopefully not the deer in headlights team that went into the locker room.

Sounds like we've played bad against both high seeds and low seeds in many elite 8 matchups. We've also beaten high seeds and low seeds to go to the final 4.

We are hopefully about to beat a 10 seed for yet another KU final 4.

Correct.

So, you agree, it doesn't benefit us to play double digit seeds in the E8.

[jhawks99]

We'll be fine

[Sparko]

Single elimination gets in everyone's head.

[pdub]

Where is 99 or jeep or DC saying we got this?

[pdub]

99 beat me to it.
