There are about 300 media credentialed for Sweet 16. Not all allowed in the buildings. Only 25 (5 beat writers from each team; other 15 are national & Indy-based) allowed in arenas, plus photographers, for each game. Usually average more than 300 at each of the Sweet 16 sites.

It seemed to me that they ran the same base stuff all game against Illinois and they could never figure it out. I don’t know if Oregon State is playing better defense or if Loyola isn’t executing/shooting as well.

The BS charging call on Loyola (was clearly a blocking foul) led to a lead change and shift in momentum to OSU. Credit to OSU for the run they're on tho.

I don’t know what to make of Oregon State. No one really jumps out, and they weren’t very good most of the year, but they just seemingly can’t lose all of a sudden. If they were to win today then they’ve run off wins versus Tennessee, OK State, and Loyola - after
winning the PAC-10 tourney. Pretty legit.

ETA: they beat Oregon, UCLA, and Colorado in the PAC 10 tourney. And the Tenn and OK State games weren’t exactly nail biters.

Loyola scored 0 in the last 5:48 of 1st half.

“It’s certainly flattering to be mentioned for such a prestigious position,” Byrne said. “Regina (Byrne, his wife) and I grew up in the Pac-12 footprint and have many friends and fond memories out there. However, the University of Alabama has become our home and it is an honor to work here with our incredible student-athletes, coaches, staff, university and fans.

"We have a lot of positive momentum across our department. This is where we hope to finish our career and do all we can to make a positive impact. I will not be a candidate for the Pac-12 commissioner.”


I'm sure this has already been discussed in another thread somewhere, but I just now saw this and it deserves a .

Loyola just had 3 chances to cut it to 4 and didn’t convert...could be the game

Jeez, that is a terrible foul by Silva. Probably won’t matter.

That OSU 3-pointer probably clinches it.

I'm enjoying it. Nova playing better now. Pulling for them to upset Baylor.

They are letting Baylor and Nova play. None of the regular season ticks-tack fouls.

Tourney ball is where they let guys play basketball. This is good for a team like us that will defense you.
