It’s all anecdotal but I feel like I’ve seen a ton of “in and out” type misses and layups that left me scratching my head wondering ‘how did that not go in’?
They're playing so timid and under pressure like they know they shouldn't lose to Miami. There was like 4 mins left in the game and they're jacking up threes like there's a minute left.
On another note, I think this is another example of how guard play dominates in the tournament. Auburn's guards are suspect to me and if you can't have the ball in your best players hands (Smith) it creates a problem, especially if the other teams guards are pressuring/causing havoc.

Exactly, rarely did either team get a soft bounce. Like it was overinflated.

Auburn going down in flames isn't going to bother me one bit. No sir EE Bob.

yep, extra bouncy. you can tell just from watching. It would be like all of a sudden shooting on a playground double rim. You know it's the same size and height as other rims, but they behave way differently.
Would you say the SEC is overrated with UK Auburn Tenn all not making the sweet sixteen. Or is it there are a lot of good teams and few dominate teams because the teams are older thanks to Covid. A 10 seed shouldn’t win by 10+ points on a 2 seed. And by the way Miami lost to PSU earlier this year
Larranaga now 3-0 in 2nd round as Miami coach.
We're also now guaranteed to have at least one double digit seed in the Elite Eight.

Haven't watched many Auburn games this year, but they look very bad - not only because it is not their night and they are missing shots, but it seems they are very poorly coached. With 5 minutes left and single-digit below, they began to hustle and make very bad shots. Don't really understand how they made to a 2nd seed.
They got 2 seed with Kessler and Smith...they lacked consistent guard play all season. Their tightness in Miami game looked hauntingly familiar to our game.
It's all matchups, expectations with news everywhere, tightness, injuries, fatigue ... and ofc The Ball. Most would agree the Big12 was slightly better than or possibly equal to the B1G, then 3rd was the SEC. I saw that Miami at Penn State game btw earlier in the year when they actually beat Penn State. Had to wait for the final game where Wisconsin won at Georgia Tech for us to win the B1G - ACC challenge.
The amount of contact allowed in this TCU-AZ game is something else.
Sorry you are right PSU lost by 5
Welcome to the 2022 tournament. My jaw dropped days ago. If this isn't a low point for the sport, it's going to be hard for me to stay interested in the future. Some rules are antiquated, and their enforcement is unpredictable at best, and utterly backwards way too often.
I can't tell who is meant to benefit from football on hardwood.
Imagine scUM being the only B10 team to make it into the Sweet 16 of 9 teams who entered the tourney. A team that had no business even being in the tourney at all…
From a 2018 article on NCAA football
"Although all college footballs have stripes, the balls vary a bit from team to team. That’s unlike the consistency of the NFL, where every team gets the same ball. If a college program so chooses, it could use a ball that more closely resembles the NFL’s in size. “As long as you fall within the rule specs, you have the ability to kind of customize and personalize based on your team’s wants or desires,” Krysiak says."
So at least the NCAA is consistent in their inconsistency... I guess.
