Elite Eight Open Thread

A little late getting this up, but if you're hanging out around the site, game thoughts here. Oregon's off to a fine start in St. Louis, though Florida's been starting slow throughout this year's tournament. I won't be commenting much during the Georgetown game; most of my energy will be directed toward keeping my girlfriend - a Hoya grad - from going insane with nervous energy. I'll be rooting hard for the Hoyas to get to Atlanta.

If you're looking for fan sites for today's teams, we've got you covered:

-Florida: Swamp Ball
-Oregon: Addicted To Quack
-North Carolina: Carolina March
-Georgetown: Hoya Prospectus

Offensive Rebounds

Gators with nine offensive rebounds already, a very troubling sign for Oregon. They can't win if they can't start clearing the glass better; Florida will wear them down.

40-38 Florida at half

Oregon's doing a good enough job keeping pace with Florida, but they're getting slaughtered on the rebounds. No way they'll outscore the Gators if they keep giving them two and three chances to score on every possession.

Regression

Oregon back to playing awful defense. No chance of beating Florida if they don't start getting some actual stops.

One other note: Oregon must have at least five team fouls already this half, and we're at the 14 minute mark. Doesn't bode well for the Ducks here.

Uh oh

Florida by ten, in the bonus, and more or less dominating right now.

Oregon on the ropes.

I absolutely cannot stand Billy Packer

Am I the only one who disagrees with almost everything that he says?

For example, just because Jeff Green changed pivot feet and then took an additional step, that doesn't mean he traveled.

Give me a break.

Hansbrough

Has been hyper-protected by the refs all game long. The man can't so much as be breathed on without a whistle.

Hansbrough

Creates contact on every low post touch and gets the call almost every time.

Packer

Unaware at critical points of the game. Calls Jeff Green's airball "a great pass." Questions whether Hansbrough's over the back could have gone the other way.

OT I like!

what's up with the fan sites? I couldn't find any comments on them whatsoever ...

Awesome Comeback

by Hoyas. Down 10 with 7 min left. UNC goes ice cold as G'town goes zone and really starts rebounding. AWESOME performance by G'town in OT.
