[Post Game Thread] #12 Oregon State defeats #8 Loyola Chicago, 65-58

[Box Score](https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore?gameId=401310877)

I don't think I've ever wanted a team to fail more than this Nets team.

I mean seriously, I feel like players have lost their backbone. Taking the easy way out is so cool and hip now, I fear it has just become the new normal. Really makes you appreciate guys like Steph and Dame, who have worked hard to bring success home, who haven't shied away from the grind, and who have remained loyal, even if it means having to work harder than everyone else.

Oregon State is the second 12 seed to make the Elite Eight, joining 2002 Missouri.

Missouri beat #8 UCLA 82-73 before losing to #2 Oklahoma in the Elite Eight.

Chris Broussard: "If the Lakers could've got Kyle Lowry for Schröder, KCP & the sticking point was them not wanting to throw in a 20-year-old THT, they made a mistake. If they get Lowry they're the prohibited favorites in the West."

Enes Kanter reacts to Nets still having one more roster spot to use in the buyout market: "Thanos? Or maybe Jesus?"

The Nets now have a combined 41 All-Star appearances among their roster

You read that right...FOURTY ONE individual all star selections between the group of KD, Harden, Kyrie, LMA, Blake and DeAndre Jordan. Here’s the breakdown: Kevin Durant- 11 All Star appearances James Harden- 9 All Star appearances Kyrie Irving- 7 All Star appearances Blake Griffin- 6 All Star appearances LaMarcus Aldridge- 7 All Star appearances DeAndre Jordan- 1 All Star appearance Has there been a team with more total all star appearances? Can’t think of any immediately, cause even the recent Warriors and Spurs teams didn’t have the same depth of All Stars.

Rest of the league looking at the Nets https://t.co/IQiYPOJPJe

After landing LaMarcus Aldridge, the Brooklyn Nets now have a combined 41 All-Star appearances and 32 All-NBA selections.

After landing LaMarcus Aldridge, the Brooklyn Nets now have a combined 41 All-Star appearances and 32 All-NBA selections. 😳 https://twitter.com/AlexKennedyNBA/status/1375937582832422927 Aldridge joins Kevin Durant, James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan as Nets players who have made an All-Star team and All-NBA team.

Would Harden failing to secure a ring this year with KD, Kyrie, and Aldridge by his side be a blow to his legacy?

Now that the Nets have the most stacked team in the league and to put it in “nephew terms”, it’s not even close, would Harden not winning a chip this year assuming that either Kyrie doesn’t miss the playoffs to align his chakras or KD doesn’t make a full recovery, be a blow to his legacy?

Sam, a student with Down syndrome, has been the team manager for four years. These two rival teams wanted to give him a special Senior Night. This is beautiful ❤️👏 (via @NGhighlights) https://t.co/cMlH88UoAM
