NCAA Tournament S16 Game Thread: Xavier v Texas (3/24/2023)

[BandAid]

X will be a completely different team next time we’re in the Sweet Sixteen. I don’t mean just in terms of who is on the roster, but the personality of that roster as well. Miller loves some dogs. I’m ready to see guys like Burrell and Tu leading teams again.

The sad part is Boum and Nunge absolutely collapsed when it mattered most. Hey I know Miller will get the mental toughness back. He pieced it together with transfers and Steele's guys.

The great thing is this. The foundation is laid once again. Steele blew up 35 years of building with a combination of C4 and TNT. Miller is building it again and in 2 years we WILL be in the final 4

I think most of us knew we were playing with house money about half way through the year.

With the draw we got, I think we ended where we should have. In saying that, I would have hoped for a competitive game. X was completely out athleted.

We need some beef, we need some athletes, we need more shooters. Really hope Sean can get us there.

I don’t care. When someone says Texas could win the title, I’m pointing out that they certainly won’t.

Not disagreeing.

Thank you boys for a return to the second weekend of the Dance.

Go Can….Nope, can’t do it as a ND football fan.

Meh. You also had houston being on another level than everyone also/ even after I pointed out they didn’t do anything all year

They didn't collapse. They ran into dudes that were 5x as athletic as them, and it showed on the offensive end. We couldn't get open looks, and that was due to the athleticism and explosiveness of the Texas players. They were just better.

I forgot he was playing until the end.

A game like this on this stage just put Colby back at X next year. Can't be borderline 1-2 and play like that on this stage and even be considered as a 1st round pick.

Oh, I’m definitely cheering for Miami. The team that knocks us out can always eat shit No matter who they’re playing.

Agree but dang, so many missed bunnies. It woulda, coulda been more competitive if some of them fell but that’s sports.
