The Official #17 vs. #3 Houston Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, TNT

Is Auburn this bad good lord?!??

Bruce Pearl absolutely screwed them over by stepping away when he did rather than announcing it before last season ended so they could get an actual coach. His son has no business being a head coach at this level.

Gonzaga is gonna blow out Maryland too

Yes and he did it on purpose.

 

[StarRaider]

Have a feeling we get Kansas tomorrow in the 3rd place game. We will see

I saw this as well with Ament but he needed this, IMO. Today was a growing up day for him against a very good team. Watch out!!!!

Growing up against a strong, physical team. Houston is a team full of grown arse men that don’t take prisoners and TN (and Ament) went toe to toe with them and didn’t back down. Very impressive.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

TN versus Iowa State would be an interesting game. 5 versus 6 possibility? They won’t want to match Kansas and ISU.

I can’t say I disagree.. catching his sideline speak .. they can’t stay this hot forever .. and fails to call a single timeout in Michigan's run .. good lord

Same, i’m getting the feeling Gonzaga about to boat race Maryland :/

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Some people in here are ready to kick him off the team.

He will make the adjustment to big time basketball by the beginning of SEC play.

TV guy said we were pretty much guaranteed to make the top 4.

Digging around UT sports and internet about this tourney and not much info out there. Looks like we might play at either 6:00 CT or 8:00 CT and if we win the "championship" is Thursday some time. Anyone have better info? Thx!

Not a bracket. 1 vs 2, and 3 vs 4. Thats it. Seeding by point diff.

I think he definitely got a taste of real bball today finally and took him a while to feel out the game I think

He needs to ride Bruce’s coattails back to sales. For Stryker.

His objective in doing that wasn't to leave Auburn in some great position. It was to make sure his son got the HC job.

We’re ahead of Kansas AND Iowa State. So, yeah.

Not a fan of the format. Michigan plays SD State and the Pearl Jrs, gets the #1 place for the final. We knock off Houston and may get left out of the title game.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Oh, come on Kelvin. This is ridiculous. Don’t be a sore loser. About 8 of those were in the final 60 seconds when Houston was trying to foul.

Feeding the tourney match up locker room white board.

 

[floridavol25]

How did Michigan get such an easy draw?

 

[HypeVol2020]

Yep but I think we can beat Kansas so I’m not too mad

Well, you have to have some excuse after having your team outhustled, outmanned, and out coached!

 

[Lefteye]

Good thing they have such a proven halftime tactition in Stevie Pearl to make adjustments.

I have it on good authority Vegas took away the sticks and bottle caps. So… lol

Not possible

 

[UTK]

Didn’t have a chance to watch live but see the outcome is what I expected. A really close W. Looks like Carey stepped up nicely! Gillespie, can’t say enough. It’s gonna be odd to see him under 20 points any game going forward. Scoring machine right now.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Sadly, I don’t think Tennessee will be playing the championship game. Michigan and Gonzaga are blasting their opponents. Seems like it’s going to be Kansas in the 3rd place game.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Auburn plays out of control and they don't guard $hit.
