Tourney Talk-Friday

[Kyle]

I feel good about our chances Sunday after watching a good part of this Louisville/UC Irvine game.

That size of UCI makes me nervous though. 7'4 and 7'2?? That's crazy. Singleton did a great job on a much more athletic Larry Nance Jr today but he only gave up 2-3 inches to him.

But their speed and footwork are terrible.

Tuttle will have a heyday in the open court and our pack line defense won't allow the guard penetration you've been watching during this game.

True, but when both teams play that "poorly" I'll take the ones without two 7 foot monsters

Congratulations to UNI on a very well played game and great win. I believe UNI is better than Louisville, they just need to believe it too and they will win.

Oregon takes out Oklahoma State, so the vaunted Big 12 is now 2-4 in NCAA play. Thank God they added West Virginia huh?

[bryce]

Congrats to WSU and UNI on good wins. Go MVC!

[Kyle]

I really hope the WSU and UNI games don't overlap again. I'm looking forward to watching another MVC team take their turn beating Kansas in the tourney.

[Trapped in CA]

Over / under on the number of fights in the stands for the KU shocker game?

[purple&orange]

I imagine that the WSU-KU game will be equivalent to the old "national game" on CBS in either one of the first two national windows where it's not going against any other games if the schedule is like last year. Kansas-Stanford and Wichita State-Kentucky were back to back on CBS before the other networks joined in after those two were shown.

UCLA-UAB is the first game tomorrow, followed by UK-Cincy, both on CBS with no other games going on during those time windows.

The only other pair of games I could see taking that would be Michigan State-Virginia but mostly because Duke is also there and attracts attention, however with the 3 year run of WSU and the storyline of a state title game essentially, I would guess the Shockers and Panthers will not overlap.

Nice wins Panthers and Shockers.

GO MVC
