2023 NCAA Tournament and Bracket Discussion

SDSU made a run, got it down to five, but this puppy's over.

I keep thinking if Hurley kept the starters on during that stretch, UConn could've pulled away by maybe 20.

He took the starters out and SDSU cut it to 8-9.

SDSU has to be the worst shooting team ever in the title game.

Nah, not even close. The Aztecs are shooting 34%. Butler shot 18% in the 2011 title game. Who beat them? UConn, 53-41.

Heartbreak for my local Bulldogs back to back. Love going to their games at Hinkle Fieldhouse since I was a kid.

I just want to know what kinda voodoo we need to do to get that kinda tournament luck. Everytime we run out of gas in the tournament it seems us going cold while we rarely get the other way around even under Matta who's calling card for ages was D

He got them some rest, then brought them back fresh to finish it off. Seems to have worked out for him.

Bettors with over 132.5 just thanked SDSU for that foul.

When Matta lost his only title game Florida scored 84 points. Managed to win a sweet 16 game on that run 85-84, but that's a tough recipe.

The most important thing to remember from this tournament is that Purdue lost to a 16 seed, the shortest team in the country and maybe one of the worst tournament teams ever.

And that's why Matt Painter will never look at Columbus, Ohio in the same way again.

FDU only got in the tournament because the regular season, and tournament, champion was ineligible. Good job, Painter.

God bless us one and all.

will his teams have seizures and ptsd everytime they play on court now?

We have the same feelings and demons towards West Lafayette, Indiana.

Football, basketball - even when it wasn’t even against Purdue (#15 Oral Roberts 2021 was at Mackey).

UConn has reached 6 Final Fours and won the championship 5 times. That seems pretty efficient.
