Saturday Headlines: Elite 8 Set Edition
Mar 25, 2023 - 1:04 PMThe popular narrative that was started at the beginning of the season was that any team could win the tournament and that there were no super teams. That has been proven to be correct throughout the tournament and came to a head last night as both Alabama and Houston were ousted in the Sweet 16.
For the first time ever there are no one seeds in the Elite 8 and I can truly see any of the teams remaining win this thing.
The games today will be 9 Florida Atlantic vs. 3 Kansas State at 6:10 PM followed by 4 UConn vs. 3 Gonzaga at 8:50 PM. Go FAU and go UConn.
Tomorrow it will be 6 Creighton vs. 5 San Diego State at 2:20 PM and 5 Miami at 2 Texas.Go Aztecs and go Hurricanes.
And now for a public service announcement: Don’t believe any of these anonymous accounts on twitter claiming that Ugonna Onyenso is transferring and that Chris Livingston is transferring and that Rob Dillingham isn’t coming. We don’t know that and they don’t know that. They’re spreading message board rumors on Twitter in an attempt to gain followers and spread panic. Don’t fall into their attention grabbing trap.
End of PSA.

Final | UK 4, Alabama 3 (12)
This was for Eli Hill and all of Corbin! Angel in our OF! 16 straight wins.
These guys are on an absolute heater right now.
Just want to point out that the very best years that Nate Oats and Eric Musselman have ever had in college basketball would not make even the angriest Kentucky fans happy.

I’m starting to come around to this. This doesn’t change my unhappiness with Calipari but I still would like him to be able to leave with success. A change isn’t coming anytime soon and pinning over two guys that have never made it past an Elite 8 is becoming less appealing.
