2nd Round. CREIGHTON vs OHIO

[kayako]

So happy for you Creighton fans and I hope there's many more to come. I'd be thrilled if just one of Nova or Creighton can win next weekend, but hell lets f---ing meet at the finals!

Great win Creighton!!! Congrats guys!!!

4th Sweet Sixteen in Creighton history:
1962
1964
1974
2021.

Ian Eagle invented the "pre-1975" rule 7 minutes ago... a rule that doesn't exist... so funny...

Next from Ian Eagle: "UCLA has on 2 championships, 1975 and 1995, cuz pre-75 the field was only 25 teams..."

Also in 1974, Creighton beat Texas to advance to the Sweet Sixteen.

One addition to your excellent history lesson: Creighton was in the 1941 Elite Eight before the 25-team format.

Very happy for you guys. Gtmo is probably on a bender right now, but I look forward to his breakdown on how the Jays are going to overcome Gonzaga.

Well, if the Zags go to the wrong arena by mistake, that would be helpful! I honestly think that we can beat them. We have to have a great shooting night and they have to be off with their offense, but I think we can do it. On paper, the individual matchups are tough for us, but you never know! Gtmo are you there?

I'm mixing my second Manhattan.

That is simply embarrassing. You should be on number six or seven by now!

I was into my second bottle of gin by 10 pm, though the first one was only about 1/3 full. It took several cocktails just to get through the last 10 minutes.

Equal parts joy and relief today, to be honest. Just feels like something we should have done by now but grateful it's happened.

Cheers!

Jays and Nova both definitely got some help from upsets but hey, I'll take it. Congrats to both!

Victory! Way to represent Jays!

Well after both our SW16 teams got the benefit of how the bracket broke, now both face the two behemoths of the tourney. If we’re going to make a statement as a conf this year, it’s all there in front of us for the taking. Gonna be fun!

Echoing Xudash: We should be on #6 or 7 Sweet Sixteens by now, lol. God knows we have blown several opportunities in the past. Yes, he was talking about Manhattans, not SSs, I know.
Gumby my man. You have succinctly addressed the issue at hand. We can either make history, both individually as schools AND as a conference with Victories this coming weekend. Or. We can be cannon fodder to these top seeds and take the expected media whipping from the USA Coast Bias against the Big East.

I say we "Stand Up & Fight".
