Especially since we would also play and execute better with more time as well. More time to prepare is not something that’s going to just help only one team playing in the game.
Our bench gave us one basket by Wilson. But Mylik also had five huge rebounds and a pair of steals.
I think Arc just isn’t 100%, playing 10 minutes with only one board.
Francis had free throw and one rebound in 20 minutes along with two blocks and four fouls

Perhaps not. Mainly, we could use his length on the defensive end, but if he’s not up to task (possible lingering pain from injury) then I’d rather Sampson just go with Wilson. Actually, I think that’s what Sampson is doing.
Still, there will be close games when our guards are off and we could use another player off the bench to provide a boost in scoring and defending. TA just happens to be one of the guys that can get his own shot. And when he’s on, he’s on. We just haven’t seen that in a while.
Just found out my son got tickets for next weekend, so now going to book with Southwest.
My question is what hotels are close to the stadium? We stayed in a hotel across from the stadium at the final four

Woke up this morning and said F*ck it! We’re going all the way. Purchased a ticket to the championship game of the final 4.
Here in San Antonio now getting a lay of the land.

This was never going to be an easy tournament, in fact it was always going to be exceptionally difficult.
There are so many elite teams this year. But if I trust anyone to have a team ready for any environment imaginable, it’s Kelvin Sampson. Let Purdue and Illinois flood the stadium with fans - we’ve not lost a road game this year.
Coogs to win it all.
I’ve been watching all the games and (homerism aside) there isn’t a better team in the country than the Coogs, including Duke

No.
Purdue should be worried about UH.

Any other teams playing Friday out side of Tennesee vs Kentucky/Illinois?
16 teams have to play over two days so there will be 4 games Thursday and Friday and 2 games Saturday and Sunday.
I am hoping Kentucky loses tonight which is unlikely or to Tennessee. I don’t like the matchup as much.
Is that same hotel sold out? Otherwise, you might have answered your own question.

We’ll be the early game then, around 730 eastern. Duke and Kentucky are the same animal, they win the timeslot game everytime.

On the roster page TA shows R So
I figure he has not had that much consistent pressure with all the others rising to the occasion. I hope we have him for 2 more years.
Tenn will win that matchup. We are going to final 4 but after seeing Duke I want us to compete and see where we land. Duke is really really good.

I was really hoping we’d get Harlan on our call.

10 pm tip in an eastern time zone host city, brutal. And that’s dependent on a blue blood SEC matchup ending on time, yeah right.
