We need Ike and Paul to attack aggressively from the tip.

Two point losses are now "eviscerations."

He just said in discussing Xavier that they "eviscerated" us Friday. We lost by 2.

Gottlieb is a jerk. He wonders why Gtown is a 4 and a higher seed than Maryland. Well they are both 4s! And then he says Xavier eviscerated Gtown. Did he not watch the entire game?!!!!

They play fast, make a lot of threes, and suck at defense.

Just wait until Kentucky eviscerates the Turps.

I am truly stunned at a #4. We are seeded same as the Twerps, who are ranked #8 in the country. Now..I know Twerps had like 7 wins of 3 pts or less and played an easy schedule, but still a pleasant surprise. Now, from Eastern Washington..I'm expecting amazing three point shooting and half court alley oops on our big men. Maryland has probably the worst luck I this seeding because they have to get by West Virginia and then Kentucky as the 4 seed. They got a raw deal but better them than us being in that region.

Guys, we got a very difficult draw.
The Eastern Washington matchup is basically a road game. And that is a good team. A really good team. Tyler Harvey is a pro. They make threes. They barely lost at Indiana, at Washington, at SMU....
ugh...just a really tough first matchup....really tough....

Considering we could have gotten Valpo (KenPom 63), I actually feel like we were treated well. Only 8 teams have worse KP ratings.

Committee Chair swats Gottlieb away like a bug with "the eye test and how they've been playing." Gottlieb has demonstrated over a career that he is incapable of being anything but a snide ass clown. I expected as much out of him. Forget for a minute his hatred of Georgetown and the Big East. We all know that and he is simply unable to be an objective analyst. University of North Florida makes the NCAA tournament for the first time in the school's history. CBS shows a gym image of the team being genuinely ecstatic. Gottlieb's comment? "Congratulations. You get to play a play-in game in Dayton and then, if you win that, you get to play Duke. Have fun with that!" I'm pretty sure they will have fun with it, you gigantic doosh! Get off of my TV. I'm going to watch Jay Bilas school Dick Vitale on who should be in the tournament. Because that is some serious fun!

They play fast, make a lot of threes, and suck at defense. Sound like Ohio. No Bueno. Not that there is any team out there that won't have a resemblance to a former flame out but just pointing out this one.

Like the draw but don't understand how a protected seed gets the location it did against a team that close to home.

Just wait until Kentucky eviscerates the Turps. I don't think Maryland makes it that far.

eastern is a tough matchup for us. they score like mad and we have had issues scoring all year. if we don't defend from the tip it will be a dogfight. not a good matchup for josh at all defensively. he is going to have to chase smaller guys around.

Let's face it, EVERYONE is going to pick against us. Wear it as a badge of honor and use it as motivation, boys. Get it done.

Listen, we must have some friends on that committee, what a gift we just received. Utah really got a rough match-up, we may not even see them. Josh's homecoming, he better put on a show against EWU. Hopkins should have 6 blocks and 12 boards. Total lockdown on that EW guard.
The bias against the Hoyas and the Big East by Gottlieb and Davis is so ridiculous. According to them, Nova will not make the Sweet 16 and of course we cannot beat EW.

The American conference is in trouble. They got two in this year and their regular season AND tournament champion got a 6. The team that finished 6th in the regular season BE and didn't win the conference tournament got a 6. I think this begins to reflect in their increasing inability to recruit.

I'm not sure why so many people are liking this draw. I absolutely hate this draw. Eastern Washington is a ton like Davidson. We're playing a team that hits a ton of threes, and has an NBA level guard. We're playing them less than 200 miles from their campus, and we're going to have to fight through them, the crowd, and BS officiating.
I honestly don't have a good feeling about this. We're gonna have to play a heck of a game to get out of the first round. I feel much better about our potential second round matchups.

I guess the EWU gym was booked on Thursday and that's why we're playing in Portland. Thanks for the road game for the 4 seed. Total BS. It will only make the victory sweeter. Does anyone have a scouting report? Can they shoot? I'm expecting a big game from DSR, Josh and Ike. I'm expecting DSR and Brilly to keep the team together if they make a run. They can shoot the 3 but they're streaky, not a very big team, they have a 7' that gets maybe 4mins a game but otherwise their bigs are the size of our wings. They go 7 deep, if you look at guys getting substantial minutes. They're best player is 6'4 Tyler Harvey, avgs 22pts a game. I'd put Trawick or Peak on him. I think White and Copeland can have alot of success against this team because of their size. They can definitely shoot over their defenders, post up DSR, Trawick or White, I think they can exploit mismatches. I'm curious to know what kind of defense they play.
