I'm from Knoxville, Tennessee, a drinking town with a football problem. But we always get behind the basketball team bc it's the best sporting event of the year.
You should try to tune in to the tournament every year. You can be a casual fan and still enjoy this sport, almost like how us Americans treat the World Cup.
You nailed it with the Clemson game. Nobody watched the tape. Clemson has some ballers. And they have played amazing basketball in stretches. I really like your channel. You are very thoughtful, very fair in your analysis. I think Duke may out run Houston if Houston can’t play a bit better defensively. Creighton vs. UTENN and Purdue Gonzaga stand to potentially be super exciting games. I could not confidently pick a winner in either of those games. You got a like and subscribe from a basketball (Clemson) Fan.
So much better than the “analysts” on CBS who only pick safe picks. You come here with numbers and show key ways any of these teams can win. Great video
I was completely lost. I’m not a college basketball fan but I’ve been trying to get into MM. I watched your Day 1-3 videos along with this one and I feel caught up. I have an understanding of who is who and where they stand in the overall storyline. Great work man. I was looking everywhere for something like that. Die hard Celtics fan btw. Searched for videos on your page 😂. I’d love some Celtics content!
As an Aztecs fan, don’t pick us. It ain’t gonna be pretty tomorrow. And to give you an idea of how much the odds are against us, this would be one of the biggest upsets in Sweet 16 history if we we’re to win
Much respect to you bro. Born & raised in Hartford CT this is our time to shine. Out of all the opponents we’ve faced since the Dan Hurley era began, I respect the SDSU Aztecs the most
This is the type of video I’ve been looking for - not the stupid talking heads from CBS and ESPN regurgitating the same annoying storylines over and over with no actual analysis
I thought UNC was the perfect matchup for Alabama. How do you cover defensive deficiencies? By getting creative, which is what playing two total non-shooters at the same time allows defenses to be. Wasn't sure we'd win, but it was the best 1-seed for us to be matched up with. Especially being down one of our top 3 players.
You are right! I just didn’t think Bama could score at an absurd enough rate against that Tar Heel Defense. Massive props to them and Grant Nelson’s best game of the year
Boooo Go Googs! ... Not gonna lie Im with ya on feeling uneasy picking them, A&M could just have easily won in OT and Iowa St. smoked us twice. Love the work on the channel
Lol I know what you meant but when you said "they are going to beat you by scoring more points then you" I had to chuckle put a well yea that's how every game is won!
Man I'm prepared to cry, just like last year, I have no faith in my team man, it always happens every year. 2018....still haunts me to this day....2019......that call man....one call away from an elite 8.....last year....how we choked against fla Atlantic I don't know.....wonder that'll happen thisuear..... I might not even watch the game..... tired of crying and throwing my remote every year...
@@hardwood_yt u been watching the nba recently man.. jalen green has been on a tear.. if the rockets could get a good coach and vets, theyll be a huge problem in the west
I like ime! Honestly we've been waiting on this for jalen for a year plus. Been hype to see. I haven't been able to watch him closely but I saw he's been balling
I didn’t. The video was getting too long but Gregg is an X factor for sure! Stretches the floor but it’s still a big. Few put him in the starting lineup halfway through the year right?
I just don’t see Tennessee beating Creighton we never go to elite eight plus we struggle with big men I’m not worried about our defense it’s the offense Knecht can’t be our only scorer
Mannnn I'm already prepared for a loss bro, we haven't been to the elite 8 since 2011, and I don't see that happening against Creighton. I'm prepared to get mad and cry cus I just know this is where our dance ends. Also, keneckt hasn't really showed up like I believe he should have. At least in my standards.
You obviously didn’t watch the Bama games, the first game was already over with in the second half so there was no defense played and so far Alabama had played great defense in this year in the playoffs
I’ve watched every single game and even rewatched quite a few of them before making the video. I just love advanced analytics. I think it helps contextualize what’s happening on the floor. You Coach K or something and just an elite X’s and O’s guy? Lmfao.
He’s 7’4” and nobody catch match his size. Plus he’s not frail, he’s actually pretty thick. Just bullies people and draws a lot of contact on almost every touch in the post
Love the video but you obviously didn’t watch the bama game. They were up big with 8 minutes to play and Charleston scored a lot in garbage time. And bama played great defense against Grand Canyon who is a high pace heavy offense team. Not saying bama has a great defense but you have to mention the uptick in play through the first two rounds.
I did watch! But you’re right, I should have pointed that out. I completely forgot Bama had like 100 with 5 minutes to go or something. My apologies. I don’t think it changes the sentiment the fact that Charleston is awful on D, but it does change that Bama gave up 96. As for GCU, I watched that one even more closely. I hated it. Such an ugly game from both teams lol.
re: Clemson/ACC - in the last 3 months, Clemson looked pretty average in conference play so everyone forgot that they were as awesome as anybody in America in non-conf play - people, once again, fell into the MWC trap - UNM somehow favored as an 11 seed (lol) - the ACC is, as it always was, an elite hoops conference! and the MWC was, once again so overvalued - A-C-C! A-C-C! A-C-C!
They do! I just didn’t wanna make this video 45 minutes and i spent way too much time on some of the early games. They win tomorrow and they get a deep dive since there’s only 8 games to cover!
You’re right. They also had 100 with 6 minutes to go. Completely forgot that. My apologies. Either way, UNC gonna be an uphill battle and if Bama is gonna win, this will be a 97-95 type game.
@@hardwood_yt lol just remember me when you get to the top big dog that’s all I ask the 🌎 is yours I think you should start covering trades over the summer all that good stuff and do a video on what you think about calapari first round shannagans lbs
I did watch them! My apologies for the Charleston one. I should have pointed that out and did completely forget that's how it panned out. You're 100% right. Been so many games to keep up with and that slipped my mind. As for GCU, I wasn't that impressed. Felt like GCU was just out of control and ran nothing in the half court vs Bama shutting them down. However...the UNC win is VERY impressive. They will get their flowers in the Sweet 16 recap video. Thanks for the comment!
8:22 I think u mistakenly left out the word TOURNAMENT champs. Put some respect on the league leading 26 time and back to back B1G champs PURDUE (who swept Illinois)!!!! #BTFU
@@mbdg6810I know that it’s not really a “seed” upset, but they’re underdogs still, kinda like the chiefs “upsetting” the ravens in the AFC championship
Iowa state is gonna beat Illinois by 10 atleast. They are a team that always has home court at vantage with their fans and seem to get huge momentum runs every game.
