Third Round games. All Sunday Nov 30, all times local: FIU at UCLA 1pm VCU at IU 2pm Michigan at ND 1pm Coastal at SCU 1pm Creighton at UVA 1pm UCSB at St. Johns 12pm (tentative time) Washington at St. Louis 1pm Akron at Maryland 1pm
Coastal goes to SCU huh? Didn't Furman go their last year and lose? I would want to be at that game. The other game that would be fun is the STL vs. Washington. Both colleges have a great base of players to recruit from and thre should be a lot of talent on the field.
Actually Furman lost at Stanford last year, just up the road. Coastal & Ngwenya offense v SCU defense should be a great matchup. Even without Cochrane, SCU is a very good defensive team, that's been their hallmark for the past 15 years. Joe Cannon, Eric Denton, Jeff Stewart are just a few of the bigger names.
Interesting that Creighton has to travel to C-Ville. Both teams had to play in the first round but it seems like Creighton would have a higher power rating than UVa. Have to look that one up. Regardles, as a UVa fan I'd rather they go on the road. In 2000. Creighton came to Klockner and beat a much better (than this year) UVa team rather handily to advance to the Final Four. None of the current UVa players played in that game but Creighton's seniors did and I'm sure they won't be intimidated in the least playing the Cavs on the road. With UVa as the hosts, that kinda makes them the favorites and that's too bad as they've been on this five game unbeated streak as the underdog in most every game and have been playing well.
