Beating Stanford would be salt in the wound for Wake Forest, as I'm sure they were licking their chops to get another crack at the team that has knocked them out of the tourney the past three years.

How could you hear any other words with that female commentator (she knew her stuff, though) constantly using "just" and "unbelievable"?

Are there any NCAA marketing rules for font size differential when marketing a game? Crank the ALABAMA up to 72 font, and make the "State" part as small as possible.

Zips athletics department and media department need to get together to stream this game on the "jumbotron" at the JAR immediately following the basketball game. We owe Stanford.

ACC has 1 team remaining in the Elite 8 - Notre Dame. The class of the ACC - UNC, Wake, Virginia - are all gone.

DOWN GOES WAKE! LET'S GO!

Pinky and Crew beat Vandy, 77-75. Vandy sucks anyways...

Matt Campbell Lincoln Riley Condoleeza Rice Oh wait... Wrong team...

I know they are very shorthanded (injuries happen - we've been there), but this is going to be a good win at the end of the season. GREAT tournament.

If we shoot like this in the first half of these past 2 games, we're playing in the finals tonight.

And our pretty solid defense would be able to get 2 safeties. That's why I thought people were making a big deal about the score - 2 safeties would be pretty crazy.

Pretty sure I heard either Frenchy or the Facebook broadcast mention that they have several (maybe 3?) Preseason 1st-Team MVC players. Illinois State is no slouch, and is a couple years removed from an At-Large snub IIRC. That was a very respectable loss yesterday, just stinks we couldn't make a few more shots these past two days. St. Bonnie is an A10 team that has been a Giant Killer of sorts in recent years. They were a First Four team last year in the NCAAT, and beat UCLA before losing to Florida in the next round. This is yet another good test to see where this program is at. We reduced the turnovers from the Clemson game to the Illinois State game. Maybe we can reduce our missed shots from the Illinois State game to this game? Regardless, this is a fun team to watch with a lot of room left to grow, and a lot of season left to do so.

I hate when the coach shoots 7-41 from beyond the arc.

They made more shots than we did. Plain and simple. Bummer.

Do we have to have an equal or greater number of threads about women's basketball?

I thought that was a football score when I saw it.

The ACC I should just add Akron. Problem solved.

Alright, that's what I like to hear! Now let's talk about your avatar...

FIFY.

Why didn't Toles play today? Injury or still getting his feet under him?

A 3 pt. loss to the #16 team in the country while shooting 43% with 15 turnovers is impressive. I'm not a participation trophy person, but in the 2nd year of Groce with a 75% roster remodeling in the off-season, I'll take this loss. Well done. Played hard, belonged on the court, and quite frankly, a bucket here & there, and you win - maybe even somewhat handily.

Thomas is a force. Gotta start making our shots.

What an amazing cross and header on the 3rd goal. The first few years, Embick needed to prove that Akron wasn't just Caleb Porter, that Akron was a powerhouse that happened to be taken to the next level by Porter. Since then, he is consistently putting together strong seasons. All season I kept saying all we needed to do was get into the NCAA tournament. Well, here we are - onto the Sweet 16!

Our margin against similar-level opponents is way more impressive. Clemson always seems ripe for an upset. I can't wait for 11am - 1 hr 58 minutes!
