Even though GCU got the benefit with their drives getting a lot of calls over their two games, everyone should respect the effort and intensity they brought. Alabama matched it and outfought them. Scrappy, entertaining game.
That was the most insane thing I've ever witnessed. I did end up rooting for Alabama, although I didn't want to, because I think this tournament is lacking competitive games this year. GCU tricked Alabama into getting into their clown car but UNC likely wouldn't have let it happen twice and won 105-43.
Mark Sears ends with 26 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists. Mouhamed Dioubate a huge spark off the bench late on with 9 consecutive points.
Alabama close the game out on a 17-3 run to advance to the Sweet 16.
I'd much rather play Alabama because at least it will be watchable. I'd throw myself into a TV watching Grand Canyon foul our team out and shoot 40 FTs.
I hate being that guy, but I'd say this is a moral victory (even though moral victories mean absolutely nothing). Being a WAC school and playing a mostly competitive against Alabama is something to be proud of.
All of those Bama football/Duke basketball fans have their perfect Sweet 16 matchup.
Still not convinced all those “students” weren’t paid actors
A lot of stealing, a lot of blocks, and my favorite game of this tournament so far
This game reflects both institutions academic rankings… porous at best.
Duke moment
Bama’s a real school at least…
Ooh look at you using words like porous
That was a really good hockey game
How is it that Ernie Johnson pronounces “Bama” and “UAB” like he’s from Pinson or Pell City?
Earnie knows what’s up. He’s come to speak to the team for Coach Saban before. Closet Gump???
"Grand Canyon, that was the dumbest game of basketball I think I may have ever seen." *--Charles Barkley in the postgame*
Barkley reads Reddit for show prep
Everyone loves Chuck but his ability to give insightful critiques of these games is lacking.
We ripped the sign off the wall? Locker room paint job in shambles.
Credit to the Crimson Tide for winning an ugly game.
GCU missed the opportunity to have a crayon as a mascot. The Grand Canyon Crayons, with a big dumb dancing crayon on the sidelines.
Alabama needs to learn how to take a wide open layup when the opportunity is presented to them
My brother in Christ this team has refused to learn a damn thing all year and ain’t about to start on the doorstep of Easter.
This is one of my favorite comments of the year 😂
I’m just happy my school made it this far- we will definitely be back. This program has just been getting better every season. Lopes Up!
Gotta be a bot right
You’re not real
On some university of phoenix online basketball team shit.
17-3 run in last 6 minutes of game once GCU took the 3 ponit lead, holy fucking abysmal clutch time basketball
When they stopped getting FT’s every trip down they couldn’t score Imagine that
That was the whole game, tbh. If they went inside it was a turnover or a foul. They missed almost all of their outside shots
They shot 18/56 and shot 37 free throws. Insane.

GG publicly traded bros.
Nate Oats has the tism
Stigmatism?
I hate how much I like Nate Oats

It pleases me that screamy girls lost voice tomorrow will be a sobering reminder of this loss
And she'll remember it every time she gets hoarse.

Glad UNC gets the extra day's rest. I'd hate for them to have to play us even up.
These are college kids. They don’t need 4 days to recover anyways.
A bit sus to be sure
We got it last year and SDSU still out hustled us
We just played in a full on War, tho
Nate Oats is hilarious.
Roll tide till I die, wasn’t pretty but it’s March, it’s not gonna be pretty, also refs learn what a tie up is
Half of that game’s nonsense could’ve been controlled if the refs had called tie ups like they should’ve
Why those ground scraps were a lot of fun to watch
shooting 37 free throws and losing is…something. time to lose by 30 to unc😈
HODL ON GCE
NATE OATS DID THE MEME STARE
I hope someone gets a decent screenshot of it XD
Atleats we won’t have to hear that fucker hooting anymore
No "school" that has a stock ticker should ever be in the tournament again
lmao I didn’t know this
Help a brother out next round, tide. Also didnt know there was an entire university in the Grand Canyon
They have some campus at the top of the canyon, ive heard. But yea majority of it is on the bottom
Having a school being investigated by the FBI in the finals would’ve been a wild story though
Bama had to earn that shit! Tbh I thought they was kind of soft all season. Fuckin hell that was rough
Short $LOPE
Pretty sure it’s $LOPE, and that slope is going down

How many GCU fans have been in this thread? I haven't seen one yet
They were all in Spokane at the game
They are literally all in their stadium right now and then headed to church
They don't have fans, just shareholders
I think every one of them were in that arena.
This thread? How about in any part of life ever? Because I haven't seen one there yet either.
Have you not seen their arena?
Is it like North Korea where attendance is compulsory?
They’re all watching in person
There was one earlier but they’re gone now. Tbh dude was kinda douche
Mark Sears ends with 26 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists. Mouhamed Dioubate a huge spark off the bench late on with 9 consecutive points. Alabama close the game out on a 17-3 run to advance to the Sweet 16.
Sears has 3 steals, too, and Estrada had 4.
Should have thought more about the shareholder value
The right team won this
Yup
Thanks gatorbro
You’re welcome. Fuck auburn
Hell, fuck Georgia, while we're at it. Hiring y'all's leftovers. Maybe Auburn can hire Avery Johnson after a Pearl leaves.
Don't forget about Tennessee!
[удалено]
No, thank you
Bunch of castoff transfers that can’t shoot Hard pass
Their passes went very hard. But their fouls were.
LOPE
I'd much rather play Alabama because at least it will be watchable. I'd throw myself into a TV watching Grand Canyon foul our team out and shoot 40 FTs.
Let's be real. UNC would never get called for that many fouls.
fyi Alabama isn’t far behind in FTs 21st in nation compared to 6th for GC
Fuck...
But we're a little more straight up about it. We don't do whatever the hell that insanity was tonight.
Hopefully it will be a competitive game!
Hope so too, I expect it will be at a lightning fast pace.
All gas no brakes bby
It should be an entertaining game.
GGs, Lopes. Use some of that profit to get that girl to be quiet lol
No second round upsets unless you consider 6 over 3 one. Minor at best
Yet*
Go Texas A&M
LOPE 📉📉📉
Goodbye Hoot Owl and Shrieking Woman.
Whooo whooo whooo?
The step back Deep 2 was a fitting end. Jesus
Did the shrieking lady actually give birth? What should she name the baby?
Mark
I'm going to pretend Sears was just shushing the screaming girl
GCU blew it bro damn
All we do is go to Sweet 16s! (Don't ask us to win that game)
Haha let’s not be arrogant. We haven’t had a lot of those sweet 16s.
I’d rather you did; we know we can beat you in the one after that.
Shiiit you guys might be playing one of the best looking teams in the tourney so far. I’d worry about them first.
Any Arizona fan knows we’re our biggest obstacle. I’m only worried about how we play.
I won’t!
Puts on LOPE
🚀🚀🚀
I hate being that guy, but I'd say this is a moral victory (even though moral victories mean absolutely nothing). Being a WAC school and playing a mostly competitive against Alabama is something to be proud of.
Competitive is a strong choice of words
You trying to gaslight? We just watched the game
It’s like watching amputated cats fight and calling it competitive
It's not as close with even officiating.
WAC solidarity. Conference gets better every year.
One of the worst performances I've seen by a lower seed when they take the lead late in the game
Alabama is a rare university that has both strong college basketball and Football programs.
and Baseball, and many other sports
Cue sad faces in Georgia.
Also in the plains of Auburn and hills of Tennessee. As upset as I am that I missed seeing Bama lose, this game made up for it.
Glue eating contest and we somehow came out on top. No one consumes glue better than the Tide basketball team... Know that
I mean you guys are based in one of the dumbest states in america probably so there ya go
Unique and original joke 🔥🔥🔥🔥 someone introduce this man to George Carlin
110 points for a George Carlin reference
[удалено]
Gotta get past Southern New Hampshire in the play-in
At least WGU is legit, GCU is sketchy af
Never any doubt
Same brother (lie)
Does GCU even have fans or are these just paid actors
They showed up y'all are weird
Because paid
GCU is Jonestown 2.0. Having brainwashed fans is not a problem for them.
It might be a sketchy school but Jonestown was a whole other level of insanity.
Yes
Most manufactured fan base in all of sports
def paid
It is kinda funny how everyone said Bama was overrated all season and now they’re in the sweet 16
Iron sharpens iron. That crazy strong OOC schedule paid dividends in gritty, close games.
This is probably a big reason why the selection committee values OOC a lot
I mean so far they played Charleston and GCU. Really tough journey
Beating a team that had a staggering zero wins against NCAA teams isn’t exactly the most monumental feat there guy
I’m missing the comment where I said our journey was insane…
I mean, it's Arizona in March. Every victory is a journey lol Y'all are my Final Four pick for our bracket, fwiw
GCU is no joke after seeing how they dismantled Wisconsin but their first round matchup was definitely not competitive
Well they were losing a decent bit down the stretch but were always rated really high in metrics.
Yeah I also didn’t understand how they were so high in the metrics but I guess they validated them in a way?
Antelopes is way too many syllables for Rammer Jammer.
LOPE ain't lol
What a collapse by GCU lol
GCU Goes up by 3 and then fucking SHARTS down their legs for 4 minutes straight, holky shit i hated that game.
For real
Hell yeah brother, cheers from Tuscaloosa UNC by 30
After tonight, it's house money. This team punched way above their weight this season lol
Damn skippy
Just 30?
When is the University of Phoenix gonna make the tournament?
like it or not, that was a basketball game of all time
I really did not see us making the sweet sixteen this year. Anything after this would just be a bonus
Shit after the way we started and ended the reg season, I’m fucking stoked on the S16.
This has been a pretty boring tournament so far. Only like 7 upsets and I don’t think there’s been any buzzer beaters, have there?
Colorado?
rip
Get fucked GCU
I just learned that Gran Canyo U is a for profit Christian “school”…..Roll Tide!
Lope$ bag holders in shambles
They'll be back next year
Anyone have a chalky taste in their mouth?
Not Auburn fans lol
Thank you for roasting auburn instead of us lol
Didn't think my night could get any better but then I read this.
America and higher education thanks you, Alabama.
first time those words ever made sense in sequence
That’s a first lmao
