NCAA hoops

Great game (at least from my point of view 🙂).  Physical game, ridiculous number of offensive fouls.  Pretty much an inside game, not a lot of 3's attempted by either team.  Getting Tilmon fouled out helped the Hogs in their inside game.

I was encouraged by the Tigers play last night. They fought Ark tooth and nail to the end. Razorbacks are good. A 3 seed in the Dance and maybe move up to a 2. 12 straight wins in SEC. Thats amazing! Thats with Mark Smith playing like doo doo again. I'd like to see Pickett or Watson get his minutes. Tillmon had as many rebounds as i did. I agree Bill. Thats a 6'10" post player that wants to play in the nba? Pinson needs to come back for his senior year. Get stronger. Be able to finish with contact. Lunardi has Tigers as an 8 seed. Jerry Palm has them a 6. Committee likes teams that play a tough schedule and the Tigers certainly did that. They have several Quad 1 wins. I'm hoping they get off the dreaded 8/9 seed. But they have no one to blame but themselves if that is where they end up. Hey Bill: Did Blue Eye girls win last night? Our pitiful KC Star up here didnt have any results.

Those hogs didn’t look all that great today.  Neither did Iowa.

Yeah the Hogs could not skin two Tigers in a row.  They have to be smarter passers and make free throws.  Shouldn't hurt them much as far as seeding for the NCAA, I'm thinking a 4 seed.

Iowa looked tired! Illinois has too many horses! They look like a final 4 team to me!

Zags are good but who have they played. The 5 points made it close, glad I listened to van pelt ! 

I'm no Gonzaga fan and their conference is a joke but they did beat Kansas, Auburn, West Virginia, Iowa, and Virginia and had Baylor on the schedule that was cancelled due to covid.  

Top RPI in the country too.  

They're pretty dang good and deeper than anybody I've seen this year.  

Unless covid interferes (which could very well happen) I don't think they're gonna lose.

The thing I like about them is how well balanced they are and how solid at every position.  I believe 4 if not 5 of their starters will be playing the Never Be Broke Again league next year.

If they can win the first game then they get Gonzaga.  I believe they have a shot against the Zags if they play tough inside D and use their quickness at the guard positions to defend the 3 point perimeter.  Gonzaga shoots a lot of 3's and has some great shooters, but if Mizzou can somehow make it tough to get those 3's then they have a chance.  Tilmon has to stay in the game too, if he gets in early foul trouble that won't be good.  They will need his inside presence on D.
