No, but is has been hovering around the low 90s the last couple of weeks so the teams and fans that have arrived for the weekend have caught a fortunate break in the weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you were speaking of the climate-controlled arena, and the staff's predicted temp. If so, that's a tad warm. I guess now that Jalapeno's gone, we needed a weird poster.

glduck Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 two days before the biggest game in school history and all i can think to say is "wow carolina looks really good, but we're really good too, should be a great one." it's weird -- we've lost two national championship games in football, and there is no consolation prize. i didn't feel any better in 2014 than i did in 2010 just because i could say "at last we made the playoff" (as cool as it was to smack around florida state on national television a week prior). but in basketball, it seems like you play to get to the Final Four, and whatever happens after that is gravy (and in baseball, you play to get to omaha, and whatever happens from there is just extra). talking to other fans there seems to be this strange aura of accomplishment that doesn't even take into account the fact that we're two games away from a national title. very different vibe from football.

Orange Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Only one team will ever leave the court exuberant, and not return. It's a strange thing when you think about it. There's very little difference in the caliber of teams when you're down to the final 8 (I think I've used that exact sentence to refer to Omaha).

ExplorerSunDevil Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I wonder if the refs are feeling any pressure to keep this game close. People probably turned off the broadcast early in the second half last year when Villanova took Oklahoma to the woodshed. TV suits are hoping there isn't a repeat of that , so watch for shenanigans against Gonzaga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExplorerSunDevil Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I think Karnowski will be back, he did get whacked in the eye pretty hard, but if you are a big dominant post man then getting whacked in the face is probably common Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExplorerSunDevil Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Referees have been giving South Carolina the edge in the paint since the start of the game. Gonzaga is the superior big team, but the refs have been rewarding South Carolina touchy fouls while ignoring hard fouls on Gonzaga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
