February General CBB Discussion Thread

[navery12]

Weird - shall we all just kumbaya UConn on a GD thread? Or talk about how really good teams aren't that good?

The fact Mick couldn't figure this kid out makes me question his coaching ability. Dudes like this are hard to come by and are massive difference makers. He ain't Clingan, but he brings a very similar advantage. I heard there was some tampering, but not sure how Underwood let Johnson walk.

It's not that you talk about Michigan, it's what you say. Before the game yesterday you posted that nonsense tweet and said you've felt like something was off with Michigan. Then hours later after they beat Illinois you're back to glazing Michigan as the best team in the country again

Obviously they're trying to ensure that the top team represents them in the Tournament to give the best possible chance of an upset and more credits for the conference, but a 7 round tournament for a 14 team conference is insane.

It’s already been mentioned, but it’s truly incredible that less than 24 hours ago you decided something was wrong with Michigan based on a tweet from an account that literally exists to goof on terrible message board posters like yourself. Your response to that tweet was basically “yep, I always knew something was off with those guys”. And now here we are, back to “why can’t you homers objectively discuss how the really good teams are really good?” I hope you let science study your brain at some point.

It was a goof, good lord. I said let's see if it plays out. It didn't. The guy has 150K followers, so I shared it.

 

[Frenemy]

That's sorta their point, it was just yesterday. WTF really plays out in a day? Not much, you seem to be the king of knee jerk reactions. Captain kool-aid, flavor of the week and I'm a neutral Nova fan.

Pressure now on St.John’s.

Need to play 3 games to finish the season, all before UConn plays their last remaining game in Milwaukee.

A St. John’s loss to Villanova tonight and UConn gets the #1 BE seed and a minimum of a share of the regular season championship (even with a loss to Marquette).

 

[Frenemy]

I really hope to help and out tonight, but it'd probably be slightly easier if you didn't curb stomp them last game. Crap you guys lose to Creighton in ugly fashion the game before we play you, now St. John's is gonna be angry this game also. Why can't we get these games after you guys are fat and complacent? We need a signature win to get to a 6 seed.

An obvious yet underrated reason to be the final 1 seed (or best 2 seed, I think?) - can’t get Duke, Michigan, Zona until the final four.

A lot of really good teams this season but there's a substantial drop off from the few elite to the really good.

Vandy has dropped off quite a bit since early in the season when media was asking if Byington could pull off a Cignetti(both JMU coaches) this year in cbb.

He's like if Skip Bayless and Stephen A. were one person.

Yes there is - I like our chances against anyone outside of those top 3, and think we could play even with AZ. Avoiding those three until the F4 would be great, maybe someone stuns one with an A+ game. I'll throw Florida in the mix as well.

There's a reason Stephen A is paid millions, lol. Provocative conversation is entertaining.

Vandy at home is much, much better than Vandy on the road.

Vandy = fraud.
