Official elite eight day two thread

[pisgah101]

Creighton-220
San Diego st

Miami-505
Texas


Predictions? Hopes? Lol

First game I don’t care who wins but think creighton will.. second game I really want Miami to get it done.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Texas needs to win because they're the only team left that I think can stop UConn. I know the most annoying UConn fan in the world and he brings up '99 & '04 all the freaking time. Their last two titles in '11 & '14 have also been thrown in my face a ton.

 

[christophero]

I like Creighton and would like to see them win. But every team I cheer for loses, so bye bye Creighton.

Just saw that Lee Cassell is one of the officials this game 🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡

 

[Fourteen44]

Terrible making that call at the end. Wow.

 

[GillJET]

Lee Cassell again.

 

[Fourteen44]

Lee Cassell again.

Was it really?!?

 

[denverexpat]

woeful call to determine the game....

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Horrible call.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

How many times do you see that in a game and it is not called? How the hell does that decide an elite eight game?

 

[The_Only_Blue]

That was all messed up from the foul to the tip to the call to end the game

 

[bleediteveryday30]

You hate to see a team go out like that.

 

[denverexpat]

seen more games decided by bad calls this year than i can remember....

 

[GillJET]

Was it really?!?

Yep McDermott was chewing him out.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

It's broken open for UConn just like it did in '14. I don't think anyone left can beat them.

 

[christophero]

If you want a team to lose let me know and I will cheer for them. I'm 100%

 

[denverexpat]

It's broken open for UConn just like it did in '14. I don't think anyone left can beat them.

Texas can for sure..maybe the U too if they are hot from 3 on any given day....FAU/SDSU is like the first round of the Maui classic!

 

[Tik Tok]

Lee Cassell is a scumbag POS. He’s allowed to continue F’ing teams over. This is just another game that he became a part of because he can.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Amazing they gave Lee Cassell a chance to ref an elite eight game. Unreal

 

[pisgah101]

Just got a chance to post but wow what a terrible call. Terrible! Lee needs to be banned.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Texas can for sure..maybe the U too if they are hot from 3 on any given day....FAU/SDSU is like the first round of the Maui classic!

But they're both in the FF!

 

[skysdad]

How does Cassel get so many high profile games. After the Duke/UVA call one would think that he's not a top official. OFC

 

[The_Only_Blue]

^No idea. There's gotta be hundred of refs to choose from and you tell me he's one of the top 20 or so in the country to get an elite eight game?

 

[IFaZe]

Sh!ts rigged! Miami looks tired .

 

[bleediteveryday30]

If it were rigged, someone other than FAU, SDSU, UConn, Texas, or Miami would be vying for a national title. The ratings aren't going to be great.

 

[IFaZe]

There’s no consistency. And if it is, it benefits one team or the other, and it smells! Smells all together 👎

 

[IFaZe]

I had 3 of those teams in my elite 8, and 2 in my final four, with Texas winning it all lol. But to your point, I don’t follow…?

 

[IFaZe]

Meeee personally, I likely wouldn’t even be watching had these underdogs not made it this far so …it gets my UNO ^rating lol

 

[bleediteveryday30]

You said the games are rigged, right? What is the benefit of having a FF made up of those teams if it is rigged? Who profits from that? What is rigged about it?

 

[youngman42]

Wong got robbed on a drive at 79-77. Should have been a defensive foul. Dude grabbed his arm! I can’t abide officiating. But thankfully a good call on the next foul. Still …

 

[IFaZe]

You said the games are rigged, right? What is the benefit of having a FF made up of those teams if it is rigged? Who profits from that? What is

What to do think the billionaires are the only ones who can benefit ? They will benefit substantially though Lol .Out of the zillion ways I can go with this both ways, I’ll give you 2 simple others. Hey ref heres 10k if you call the game loose. Sh!t heres 2. Hey best friend ref the spreads 3 and I bet 5000 that they cover and due to make 40k, I’ll give you half if you make sure that happens.

 

[IFaZe]

Miami baby!!! 👃

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Anyway, 3 of the 4 Final Four teams are first-timers. I'd put UConn as the HEAVY favorite to win it all.

 

[tclark6]

Make me proud Miami!

Integrity

 

[IFaZe]

I’m telling you Miami played tired after Houston. They’re gonna be well rested and WILL beat UCONN and cut the nets down! I’m rooting form

 

[bleediteveryday30]

I do like Jordan Miller. But I will be pulling for FAU to win two and cut them down.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Anyone but UConn please

 

[christophero]

What a strange tournament. U Conn will be favored like us in 99 so I'd like to see their hopes dashed. Florida the new hotbed of college basketball.

 

[dadecodevil]

Well, I'm happy with the Canes getting the win. Obviously, I'm Dade County Devil! And I live in Boca so the Owls winning is also awesome. Since we lost early, I root for chaos, and we definitely have chaos! My hope is Dade versus Palm beach County, with the Canes bringing it home for the Acc.
