March other NCAA games

I agree with this. I saw a poll concerning the most hated Duke players. Number 1 and 2 were easy since they were Christian and Grayson Allen which I totally agree with. The others were JJ Redick, Shane Battier and Grant Hill. I never had any particular hatred for the last three and really admired Grant Hill.

I actually have a nice Grant Hill story. This was like 2001 or 2002. I was on vacation in Orlando with my family it was late and my dad and I went to get some food (Popeyes). So we are like the only people in there as we are walking out and who walks in but Grant Hill. He was a nice guy gave us an autograph talked with us while he was getting his food.

In the case of Grant Hill he was a good guy in a kind of bad place through little fault of his own. I mean he did choose to go Duke after all.

What I think happened was that Grant was happened to be there when Duke became Duke with their run of 4 final fours in 5 years. Laetner left and Hurley left and Hill was still there, he became the face of Duke basketball and went to a 3rd final four. Duke was doing lots of winning when and people either loved them or hated them good or bad players or people.

Yeah watching this game makes me more irritated at the thought that UConn lost to Seton Hall -Seton Hall really sucks.

That loss will be the one that costs a seed line on tourney selection Sunday.

It never ceases to amaze me how big a dweeb kalkbrenner is. I half expect him to start crying during stoppages

Braden Smith shooting the lights out v Rutgers

 

[Mr. French]

He pretty much sucks on D and I've never liked his demeanor on the court but he still gives you 17 points and 10 rebounds. He's basically their only offensive threat with a little Zeke Mayo thrown in. I'm not a fan of his but the rest of the team is a disaster, I don't see how that's his fault.

I could write a dissertation on this, but he gets his numbers and absolutely does nothing else. The offense flows terribly, he is the worst defender on the planet, and I'm not sure what his personality is but the day he got to KU the whole team seems to be disjointed.

I'm not there every day, but the dude has done nothing to help that team win. I'm not sure if you watch or just see his numbers but he's not good. I guess you can have the opinion he's not at fault, but I'd assume you've never watched a single second of them play if you truly think that. I happen to disagree, if you can't tell. He stinks, bad.

BYU taking Iowa State behind the woodshed.

I think in these out of conference threads the discussion revolves around:

1. acc
2. Big XII
3. sec

4. everyone else

point being, the big 10 is just that boring. an 18-program conference with 5 ranked teams, one of which is wiscy.

the current espn bracketology. for a conference with 11 projected dance partners, there is no discussion about the big 10.

12 sec
11 big ten
8 big 12
4 big east
4 mountain west
3 acc
2 wcc

Hate to see it. Need someone to be good enough to beat Duke

Texas wins in OT vs Miss St. Helps us as we are battling Miss St for a potential 7 seed.

Baylor also won tonight.

Auburn has SEC locked up, overall 1 pretty much locked up, off a win at UK, was due for an off game on the road.

I gave up on that game, yet here we are in the 2nd overtime!

Nice win for BYU. Neither team is all that good. Iowa St could not defensive rebound for the life of them.

I’ll say this, back end of the 2 seed is really nothing special. St Johns should have every opportunity to get to that line with a strong finish, and deservedly.

They definitely will

 

[Kolumbo]

Miss State may be bounced from the rankings.

And cuse, up 44-36 over smu at the half, loses 77-75. Glorious. That sheety university in the wasteland of south canada with nothing to add has won its fewest games since 1969-70. 12!!! I wish I had some friends with ties to that stinkhole but no one I know is stupid to blow cash there.

cuse & bcu. They have to be the biggest busts since Jayne Mansflield.

Jayne Mansfield. I did not know this. Jayne was only 34 when she died in a car accident. She was the mother of Mariska Hargitay from Law & Order: SVU.

Was a brutal loss, even moreso when you saw it in person. Hurley had zero counter and was outcoached - would have been a game they could have easily fed Reed as SH center was a 215 lb freshman. Hurley’s desire to roll with Samson, who wasn’t good, and played 35 minutes.

Their freshman center went 12 and 10 vs our senior who went 4 and 6. Seniors need to step up and go make things happen in games like this so I can’t hear any excuses on it being dependent on other factors.

My worst nightmare on this season is flaming out with Samson Johnson at the helm. If we happen to do that I’ll be firmly in a position of questioning In Dan Hurley we trust, as it affirms he may have a bit of Bill Self going on.
