Men. You're playing for a national championship.

He has to call them "men" cuz Mitch is like 43.

I just noticed we had 13 threes today. Just 5 short of what Villy did to us in 2018.

dude, they had 13 threes last night as well. the really cool thing was that we beat them by the same amount as they beat us in '18.

So, we just hung 81 in 58 possessions with NO fast break points? And did it with a D+ from Remy?

“Peaking at the right time,” is worn out, but my goodness.

Nova was making a concerted effort to limit us running. They did a good job as we would just have to run our sets.

Our sets looked good.

Carolina will run.

I was shocked at Newell’s stats last night when he dropped all that info. Just absurd efficiency. We likely won’t be as efficient tomorrow night but we’re also going to have 15-20 more possessions.

Rewatching

When we were rolling early I got so mad at Dave for missing that dunk and Wilson for turning it over on a fast break. I thought it was gonna be like the Baylor game where we play great but don't get enough of a lead.

Then that stretch of calls, Harris block and then guybtackles Harris outta bounds but no foul. Then Gillespie hits 3 to get down to single digits....refs were doing their part for TBS lol

You know what is even worse? He has them scoring four more points in the thorough beat down. Wright obviously benefits from the same thing Few does--pretty easy regular conference schedules. These guys just don't understand how tough Midwest basketball is. Creighton was the best team we have seen so far--and they were also down a player.

Literally the ONLY aspect of Wright that bests Self is the second title…which Vegas says is likely to be matched tomorrow. Other than the titles, Self’s resume is vastly superior.

Author is really rooting for unc tomorrow or he had this article written already and knows today could be the last chance to publish it.

Really need self to go on a multi title run over the next few years.

Jerry Palm hasn't read the Drew Sucks thread.

But he does he is correct in his assessment of calipari

There are going to be some writers now that are going to try and smear Bill’s name over the fbi stuff.

Wolken recently authored a hit piece on him. Palm with the odd timing.

[CrimsonNBlue]

So we scored 0 fast break points last night. Incredible. Wouldn’t have thought we’d win a single tourney game doing that.

The version of the team we’re seeing in this last week with the much improved half court offense and the much improved defense ranks as one of the better Bill Self teams.
