I didn’t expect this but I also wouldn’t have enjoyed it either way, truly just one of those games you know is going to happen and you can’t stop it no matter what. I hate both of them but glad one suffers and hate that the other thrives.

Yikes. Wtf was this man. Like Texas Tech I know JT Toppin's hurt but wow this is embarrasing. Alabama beat Texas Tech by more than they beat Hofstra. In the midst of the Aden Holloway situation, Alabama has stayed focused on what's most important-winning the National Championship. And they're looking like a National Championship team right now. Absolute dominance. It was Latrell Wrightsell Jr as the one who stepped up for Bama today, but they've got a ton of guys who can step up in big moments. Alabama-Michigan will be a good one, but give me Michigan 78-71.

Unfortunately, Texas Tech was on borrowed time without JT Toppin. They just didn’t have the same ceiling without him, which really stinks because they could have done great things this year. Alabama hit 19 threes and just blitzed the Red Raiders from the jump.

Scoreboard watched like this ☹️ the entire first half and then I went to sleep like this 😴 for the second half

A bad way to end the day

That sucked. The 3rd largest margin of victory in a 4-5-seed matchup in NCAA tournament history. The basketball gods have decreed that we have had too much good basketball today and we must have at least 1 stinker. This is that stinker. The loss of JT Toppin finally caught up with them. Bama put the blitz on Texas Tech early and never relented. Just looking at the rebounding disparity is staggering, but watching makes it even more apparent how much they got bullied in the paint. The difference would’ve been even greater had the Crimson Tide not coasted in the 2nd half. They could’ve also had the record for largest margin of victory had they not messed around. Instead of being a cool stat, the ending was just bland. The game as a whole was a slog and a big disappointment, but I’m sure the Crimson Tide is ecstatic, Wrightsell chief among them. 24-points on elite efficiency will make anyone happy. Houston Mallette had a great time coming off the bench and put up 15 and 7.

Probably the worst game of the 2nd round mainly due to the what if. What If Toppin was able to play in the game? If he plays Texas Tech would have been ranked better, but in this kinda game it would have been much closer. Alabama rolls on to the Sweet 16.

I think, maybe, possibly, Texas Tech needed Toppin for this one. Alabama gives the Red Raiders a beat down and they go on to top-seeded Michigan.

Game was so out of it, I forgot to rate it. That sums up how it wa really

Fuh why did the dude on tt gotta get injured

Alabama made everything in the first half it felt like and Texas tech just wasn't on a roll, and then second half Alabama only scored 1 point more than Texas tech but to win Texas tech needed to outscore Alabama by 24 point just to tie it very pathetic game by Texas tech last night

Aden Holloway sold me a eighth

This game was turned off when it went analytically final around the 9 minute mark. I did not expect this result at all. Alabama looks amazing. It’s sad that they’re going to run into a Michigan team that should be able to contain them. I think in Arizona’s and Houston/Illinois’ region they could make it out.
