OWA Bracket Challenge 2023

Nowell final gets his kill shot.

That was an awesome game from start to finish.

19 assists. Tournament record.

Totally makes up for the steaming pile that is UConn vs Hogs.

I never even turned that one on, every time I looked at the score I’d just say “nah”

It’s a beat down.

I don’t really understand when UConn got good this year. Seems like they’ve been pretty far under the radar.

They were in the top10 earlier in the season

eta: they had a 2-6 stretch in conference play that tanked their ranking, then finished 9-2 (lost by 3 @Creighton and by 2 to Marquette in the conf tourney semis)

Also, I think Jay Bilas picked them to win the whole thing

Dan Hurley is one of my least favorite coaches. He’s such a prick.

ITYM Calhoun grease.

You’re right of course, my brain got UMass and UConn mixed up.

Barnes’ stamp is all over Tennessee. Tough 3/4 court defense, inside outside offensive game. Hella defense.

Tyger Campbell has the best hair in the tournament.

I did not expect fluffy dogs to devour feral hogs.

FAU on a 15 - 2 run to take a 7 point lead.

I believe the preferred nomenclature is Sideshow Bob.

Nine point lead with 50 second left to go, FAU from Conference USA looks like an Elite Eight team.

Man, I thought FAU was in danger of getting blown out about 10 minutes into the game. Nope.

Same here. Second half they came out firing and the Vols went cold.
