Curbelo had a fine game for the Illini. 9 pts on 4-5 shooting, with 7 assists.

Consensus All American Ayo Dosunmu hurt his draft stock. Played 38 minutes, scoring 6 pts with only 2 rebounds. Add 6 TOs to those totals for a nightmare performance.

What a clinic Loyola put on. That motion offense off a high post, with the high post then cutting down low for a return pass is a thing of beauty. Leads to about three good options to score. Illinois never did figure out a way to stop it.

Was fun to watch!

Easy to say now, but I gotta be honest, I never really saw it with Ayo.

Syracuse doing its yearly 'sneak into the tournament, then go on a run because the non-ACC teams have never played against the zone before' thing I see.

Watching Loyola Chicago reminds me why I love the Princeton offense so much.
The ball movement, spacing and player movement is so fun to watch.
It really does make you players better.

It’s just refreshing to watch teams that actually have an offensive system. What is Miami’s offensive identity? ISO stagnant hero ball? That’s basically what we’ve seen since the Lonnie Walker season.

Why wasn't West Virginia pressing the entire game? Didn't that used to be their thing?

I thought they were called Press Virginia but maybe depth caused them to change their style.
I hope Miami presses more with their next head coach.

That might be it but I hope Miami's next coach runs the Princeton offense.
I have seen way to much one on one basketball in the past 3 years.

High ball screen and pick and roll. Where art thou? And Larranaga was famous for his scramble defense, too. Which he runs maybe 5 minutes per season at Miami.

I don’t know whether to give you a like, love, or laugh.

Our 3 point defense the last few seasons has been appalling.

Great point. That was the buzz about Caputo when he came here. It's like they forgot what got them the job at Miami.

Oregon St. has to be the weakest sweet 16 team in years. Basketball's pretty easy when the other team can't hit a shot.

I think that was Arkansas, back in the day -- 40 Minutes of ****.

More than just the zone. On a given day, they've got two or three good shooters. In every game, they've got pure shooter Buddy.

As for the zone, WVU had zero problems feeding the post. It's just that their bricklayer of a Center couldn't turn and shoot successfully from the FT stripe if he were the only player on the court. SU knew that and welcomed him to fire away (or turn the ball over with some ill-advised, panicky passes).

It's amazing how often Syracuse outperforms their seed.

Defense, what defense?
