UConn - Mich St.

[Cycl1]

At least they are still hitting the free throws. Would be disappointed if they shot 60%.

4/18 from the arc for UConn right now......wish they would have shot like that against us. And that isn't all about defense.

 

[CycloneErik]

That forearm shiver to the throat really got UConn going.
They smell blood right now.

I hope MSU is enjoying an elite 8 game on someone else's home court.

Napier FTW.

 

[ChiClones]

Go UCONN. I want to be beaten by the best, if we have to be beaten.

Agree!

 

[cyclonespiker33]

This is 100% a home game for Uconn

 

[Bewilderme]

So silly that UCONN gets home games as the 7th seed. I don't think you should even get a chance​ of that unless you're a 4 or lower seed.

Hadn't thought of that angle, but yeah......now I just hope they have a garbage *** blarge call kill their chances of staying in the game later on.

I don't see the problem, or at least why a 4 or lower seed should get that advantage. Theoretically, they're not supposed to be there at all.

How about an Izzo ejection

Yeah, this is supposed to be the home court for Villanova, but they sucked, so UConn earned the bonus so to speak.

 

[Mumbai1986]

UCONN is hitting big shot after big shot!

They plan these sites years in advance. They can't keep any team within 200 miles of the regional site out of the region. If the game had been played in KC or Minneapolis Friday night, you would have been all for it

 

[Mumbai1986]

And as quickly that UCONN had a 10 point lead, it is now down to 5.

Yeah, because we are the home team. Just like at msg. The lower seed.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Can someone please tell Lundquist how to say Giffey

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Yeah, because we are the home team. Just like at msg. The lower seed.

It's Joe Lunardi's fault

 

[LindenCy]

This was Villanova's "home court." They blew it, so UConn benefits. It sucks, but it isn't like the committee set up UConn for this (mostly).

Oh for sure - but that's the point. They should prioritize seeding the higher seeds closer to home, and put the lower seeds in random regions. I understand why they do it this way, as it increases the income of the event with more tickets sold, but just think the fact that they get to play at home negates the purpose of seeding. No tin foil hat here...it's just a shame that we couldn't play closer to home and not in the lower seed's backyard.
