Thanks guys, really appreciate the nice thoughts. What a relief, feels great, and the game played out perfectly. This Sweet-16 is for all 11 of us, belongs to each BE team.

Just thinking, BE opponents, you guys contest every shot, body you, hands in your face, make every possession a grind. Today, there was space for our shooters, and luckily things came easy for us. Good decision-making against a really good team.

Lol, right, i have 3 cases of unopened Rolaids and 4 of Pepto Bismol, haha.

This is just so helpful going forward, to get this Sweet-16 burden removed.

Take care brothers!

Someone posted a statement from I guess CBS on the Scout board, that the game between Kansas and Richmond will be next Friday at like 6:30. Talk about no respect!

so looking at it, obviously it's Kansas/Providence....

Time could be 7:15 pm. Here are the slots-
7pm CBS
715pm TBS
930 CBS
945 TBS

Think it's a lock that the 930 game will be UCLA/UNC. Think the 7pm game will be Auburn or Miami/Texas Tech or Notre Dame. I expect you guys to be at 7:15 on TBS. With St Peters/Texas or Purdue at 945 on TBS.

Boy how fun would it have been for a Creighton-Providence rubber match? KU looks very beatable. Go PC!

Congrats Friars! Unbelievable season. Not only has the team greatly overachieved all year, they've also proved the pundits and analytics wrong by advancing to the Sweet 16. They finished the season ranked #13 in the AP, #32 in NET, and KenPom has them at only #33 even after their Tournament run. Clearly by making the Sweet 16 they proved they're fully deserving of their AP ranking.

At some point being the "luckiest" team needs to recognized as being one of the best teams, and that's happened now.

It's so funny that 2 teams that had the most extreme situations between metrics and on court performance are still alive- Houston and Providence. From totally opposite situations. Don't think you'd want to play either one of those teams right now at all.
