A team of overhyped inexperienced freshman beating another team of overhyped inexperienced freshman in their first collegiate game doesn't impress me, but it does the layman.

So if Kentucky and Duke are both overhyped inexperienced freshman teams who exactly is good in your eyes? Also if UCLA is a cupcake, what do you call an actual cupcake team?
 
What? Layman, layman, layman!!!!!!!!!''!!'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''!!''.
 
Just some off the beaten track college hoops info that no one here probably cares about but...

Valparaiso hasn't been fully healthy all year but should be returning Tevonn Walker today. Valpo is a trendy/dangerous team to watch in March this year if they can get through Oakland (in Detroit) in the Horizon conference tourney. The loss to Ball State without Walker could kill their At-Large hopes.

Oregon State will play back to back tonight against Tulsa and is expected to return Daniel Gomis (giving OSU a full lineup for the first time this year). Oregon State led Kansas by by 9 or 11 at the half in Kansas City. It will be interesting to see if Tinkle can get this team in the tournament behind the leadership of Payton.

Northwestern is 9-1 with their only loss to UNC. Basically a cupcake schedule but NW is looking to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. Will the season ending injury to Vic Law cost Northwestern and senior Tre Demps the opportunity to dance? DePaul looking to put a fork in those hopes today.

Naz Long lost for the season. Iowa State loses a great leader on and off the court.

Tons of great games today with Texas @ Stanford ending a great slate of college hoops.

Enjoy in good health!

NW NEVER made the NCAA's? Hard to believe.

Georgetown is losing to UNC-Asheville with under 7 to go in the 2nd. Oh brother...
 
there is nothing dodgier than college refereeing . Just watched a unc player stand in the restricted area and take a 'charge'.
 
Don't understand why Georgetown is so bad, they brought back basically their whole team and added guys like Govan and Derrickson. I can understand losing to Duke and MD but Radford, Monmouth, and UNC Asheville at home?
 
UCF losing AT Detroit is really awful.

JT3 is like a diet Rick Barnes at this point. Recruits on brand, never gets much done in March considering the talent.

Georgetown has done less than Gonzaga in the tournament since the 90s

Ohio state playing well? really taking it to kentucky

I don't get your question? Yes, they are playing well. As for G'Town, JT3 is mediocre at best, they have been a disaster in NCAA's.

They could playing well or kentucky could just be going through the motions. IDK i haven't seen kentucky play before. I'm just shocked at how well they came out compared to how they came out in storrs

If Ulis isn't having a good game, UK is hopeless. They sure are lucky dude is like 5'8 because otherwise they would be utterly f-cked this year. Skal has not played well.

Poythress, somehow, is still there.

Poythress has managed to play himself into a marginal 2nd round pick.

I mean from a pure chronological standpoint. Wasn't he on the 2011 team we beat? Did he take a RS year?

Either way, yes, he has been at best pedestrian.

He's an academic senior, but I think he might be eligible for an extra year if he wants it.
 
Great 1h for OSU, they don't look anything like the team we played last weekend. Hopefully they can hold on in the 2h...line is UK -9
 
players i like on kentucky : crisco briscoe. Very shifty off the dribble. Not really sure if i'm into labissirie (skinny uses his off arm alot posting up, hasn't really shown KAT like flashes) or murray ( will his athleticism not hinder him at the next level? looks extremely slow in half court vs quicker athletes). Briscoe looks like he can dance into the paint anytime he wants would have loved him in husky blue

give you credit, pretty sure you said "osu wasn't that bad" when postgame everyone on here was claiming they weren't top 200 in d1 ha.

They have a lot of talent but are incredibly young so obviously will have major ups and downs. We'll see if they can hold it together in this 2h.

I so want him to use the "we're young" excuse, considering they're playing Ohio State.

Straight threw Poythress under the bus at half.

"Alex just isn't making plays!"

Really cringe-worthy to hear coaches call out individual players as being detriments to team success.
