Well the tournament run to this point has been essentially identical to last season so beating the #1 overall team is certainly possible again.

Waters is just lost. Hope he finds it soon. Yeah he’s an utter train wreck on O, I hope he somehow finds his mojo in the next 4 days. For anyone whose has or hasn’t seen him interviewed, he’s an incredibly great young man. So humble, almost unassuming. Maybe Byrd can give some of his irrational confidence and swag to Reese. Reese is way too good to scuffle like this. On the positive side, Reese worked hard on D, was hustling most of the game and had some big rebounds. Let’s all think good thoughts for Reese, light a candle, say some prayers. He’s got the physical talent and then some … so he just needs to get the mental side and confidence back. |

Game time is 4:39 Pacific. Lame that we play early on Thursday after playing last on Sunday. Whatever, go win. |

I'm seeing UConn as -9.5 at the moment.

If he can somehow get hot on Thursday, he just may be the difference. He has the ability to do it. He just has to perform. |

Uconn's gotta be a double digit favorite.....My heart tells me we can hang....My head says it's been a great year and go AZTECS! UConn opens as a 10 pt favorite. |

I'm seeing UConn as -9.5 at the moment. I figured it would be double digits.... Hope we can make it competitive! |

Nothing better than a Cigar game to earn a chance at UConn again.
Played in S16 vs Kemba led team…..had a chance, they won the NC
Played again in NC….they won the NC again.
Hope the Aztecs are saying “we will take that win!”
Btw, uncanny parallel to last year.
The thought of back-to-back Final Fours is so unfathomable to think could happen.

I HATE the unnecessary double teams They've gotten 2 wide open layups already from stupid doubles Yale was incredible with the 3rd pass on those plays, Aztecs haven’t seen that and adjusted nicely. |

How often do we have back to back games where we shoot over 50%?

Watching the post game show just now and they said a lot of positive things about us. They actually gave us a legit shot to win. Also called it the biggest story of the Sweet 16.

I wouldn’t have thought so a week ago but I think it’s a real possibility which is crazy to think about. |

Byrd needs to play more and Waters less right now. He’s just the better player right now and we need to acknowledge that. |

Motto from 2019-2020 season was NO CEILING SIR. Also, on the other side of the Boston Regional is Illinois. Payback for the 2002 NCAA tournament loss to Illinois but first beat Uconn.

SDSU Once again carrying the Torch & Money Bag for the Mountain West Conference... You're welcome MWC! In the last 15 years, these are the number of NCAA Tournament units MWC schools have attained: 23 SDSU (and counting) 7 New Mexico 7 Nevada 6 Utah State 5 Col State 4 UNLV 3 Boise State 2 Wyoming 1 Fresno State That's a whole lot of $$ to give away to schools that don't deserve it. |

Agreed, unfortunately they don't have any options to leave, but NEVAREZ did say at the next meeting teams getting to keep more money from shares will be brought up.

Props to UNLV for beating Boston College tonight in the NIT. They play at Seton Hall on Wednesday at 4 p.m. in their third NIT game. Are credits given for NIT games?

One of the announcers pointed out that Waters' shot looks flat. After thinking about it, yeah, his shots earlier in the season had a nice arc to it. |
