What a great win by the Pack! The season has really turned around in the last two weeks. And beating a B12 team in the process makes it even better. The whole team looked sharp and the 3 big men were so impressive. Now have we got it in us to beat Oakland on Saturday?

It seemed to me that TT came to play the NC State team as it existed three weeks ago instead of what debuted last week.

I believe that it's true that with the transfer portal turnover is so great now that many teams don't jell until late in the season. I think that's what happened here. They need to restore the "last 10 games" evaluation when setting the field. It wouldn't have helped the pack this year but Pitt certainly would have made the field and maybe Virginia wouldn't have.

Happy to the Pack playing well. I am actually happy Coach Keats seat has gotten colder.

The one item I have noticed between the regular season and tournament play for the Pack is the decrease in Fouls at the start of the halves. It hard to discern if this is just the Pack playing that better defense, or the officials allowing much more physical play. The last part of the regular season felt like we just couldn't keep key players out of foul trouble limiting minutes, (and also not giving up 20 pts in free throws). With some exceptions (last night for Burns), our guys are staying on the floor and showing the potential we saw from the early season.

Kinda getting UConn-Calhoun-Kemba Walker vibes when they won BE and Championship... Rooting for you guys to win it all

Saluting the Red and Black Pack !!!!!

I had the Pack beating Kentucky in the second round. I loved the matchups in that one.

I love the matchups even more against Oakland.

You should win that going away .... Pound it inside. And guard their 3 point specialists.

Get on top of them early, and keep your foot on their necks. Keep the crowd out of it and you should advance easily.


Go Pack Go!

Good win. Keep them coming.

He's not small, that's for sure! He's got that whole "Charles Barkley" thing going.

I'm thinking more like the protagonist in the classic Little Feat song, Fat Man in the Bathtub (with the blues).

The Sweet 16, what a great feeling. This one was for all the fans that never gave up, through all these years of struggle.

“Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.”

This tournament is starting to have a 1983 vibe.

Like the shirt waving fat man gif, there is a lot more going on than the obvious: There is a guy in red with his back turned to Burns and another recording him. Then you have a guy next to him with no rhythm that appears like he is going for the Ultimate Warrior's finishing move.

Go Pack! Final Four Bound.

Congratulations Wolf Pack!

Thinking the same thing. UConn the insurmountable team versus the Pack.

Got to defeat Purdue first. Could be an interesting game Big vs Tall inside match up. Let's see the Pack maintain composure and keep dancing.

No matter what happens, this has been a fun March.
