SWEET SIXTEEN V HOUSTON - FRIDAY AT 7:15

[BiltmoreCANE]

This team has been driven by offense all year long but it’s a sneaky good defense that’s appeared in the dance that has us ELITE!!!

 

[Mackmiller974]

If you look back at the regular season, canes could easily be like 33-2 right now. Most of our losses were down to the wire.

Drake had legit defense, Coach L said it was the best he faced all season.

Just sit this one out man

No #1 seeds left, we have a real shot at winning a natty!

They'll put an asterisk on it if we win it!

Why texas vs Xavier? Xavier is missing it’s best defensive player right?

Didn't know that.

@RVACane - I ask just one small pittance of a favor. If somehow you could make that GIF of the alien with a swinging dong except with Coach L’s head on his body, I think that would be appropriate if you could swing it.

Your wish is my command. For you, many options to choose from. Which do you like? I can keep going.

The Canes just ran a team off the court that was #1 in the polls for a 1/3rd of the regular season. In control the entire way. Houston never led by more than what? Two? Three? The Canes were up 6+ for the bulk of the game. Houston was close to quitting a couple times. I'm blown away.


Houston and Alabama were the two most athletic teams in the country this season. Both lost today.

With Alabama out anything can happen! For real!!!

 

[TemplarCane]

Nice. First time ever in Elite 8? Presume so.

Not only won…kicked #1 seed Houston’s butt!

 

[GladeCane]

Oh, I almost forgot. Kenpom rates Houston higher in the following .....

 

[HurikaneMarc]

Um, no.

For the ladies, yes.

Mens team whooped Auburn last year to go to the Elite 8. We got bigger plans this year.

The Canes still have the toughest path of any team. We played #4, #1, and will play the winner of #2 vs #3. Then go to Houston and have to play the winner of #4 UCONN and #3 Gonzaga (who is probably the team to beat now). Brutal.

Agreed. Only 1 team (Maryland) beat Miami by a wide margin. If miami played Maryland later in the year I guarantee it would have been a diff outcome. Every other game was down to the wire and either a last few mins collapse or a final possession game.
