Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

[alexd]

The portal changed the game. A D 2 transfer hit all those 3's

5 star recruits are not as valuable as seasoned upper class men

Cal is no longer relevant

Unreal stats.... 10/20 on three's. Every shot he took was a three.

UK fans are handling it fine:

It’s Kentucky. Isn’t that already a regular occurrence?

He has taken 355 shots this season 347 were threes

NC State won 5 games in 5 days to win ACC tournament... didnt know that. Their center looks very unfit.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I don't think every game at Greer was a sellout in the '80's. And there appears to be somewhat of a vacuum right now at the top of the B1G. Crazier things have happened.

They were selling out the civic center with the Corny, McLay, Hobbs teams. I wouldn’t call Purdue a vacuum.

If they're not going to let DJ Burns back guys down, this is going to be a long 40 minutes for NC State.

His release is impressive. That ball was in his hands for about 1/2 second.

This squid interview is the worst, basically blaming the players for "not playing the way they can play"

It’s what he does. Remember - ”Im dealing with a bunch of freshmen here” in 2014?

 

[NJHusky]

The KY message board is incredibly fun reading tonight.

What is it?

 

[CTBasketball]

I’ve been wrong about everything, which is the one positive for the Jayhawks, because I think Samford +7.5 should be free money. So Timberlake will suddenly morph into Cam Spencer or something.

I just want to see how they handle the press.

I just want to see how they handle the press.

Hence my hyena reference. That team plays relentless. 10 deep. KU is just massively bigger, so we’ll see what happens.

The ultimate big galoot.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Classic Calipari….

 

[HuskyHawk]

The ultimate big galoot.

Reminds me of that super fat kid I’ve seen on videos. just owning the boards and also sinking 3s. It’s wild. Defender can’t actually get close enough to bother his shot,

Has anyone ever done that in a major conference tourney before?!

 

[temery]

Didn't Calipari once say his job was to prepare players for the NBA?

 

[JMick]

A prep school coach friend of mine (a) likes him and says he’s a fun guy and (b) thinks he’s actually a great coach that is somewhat hamstrung by external forces at UK. The money talks there, and you pretty much need to do what it tells you. I don’t think he’s lazy.

I don't think Hurley would want to deal with all the pageantry BS and donor schmoozing that goes on at a place like Kentucky. But who knows. I don't see him leaving but plenty of players and coaches leave ideal situations to chase diminishing returns.

The ultimate big galoot.

Ummm. This isn’t statistical basketball discussion. Comply with your sentence, turncoat.

 

[gsmooth]

@gsmooth you ready for Grimace from McDonald’s?

LMFAO. I am just getting some work done that I skipped out on earlier this afternoon. But I am ready

 

[OceanDoggie]

SEC is 1-3 so far this Tourney--they were the stronger seed in all 4 games.

 

[JMick]

Classic Calipari….

No "dudes" on that team besides Reeves. All the talent in the world but no one else wanted the ball and no one wanted to play defense.

 

[UCFan1513]

LMFAO. I am just getting some work done that I skipped out on earlier this afternoon. But I am ready

 

[HuskyHawk]

It’s early, but Self is really good with time to prepare. Jayhawks look ready for this. I worry about fatigue and what happens when they go to the bench.

 

[JungleLobo]

My wife mentioned that the #3 on Oakland looks like Chandler Bing

My wife likes St Peter’s, Longwood, the Gamecocks and Chandler Bing in her Final 4

Yeah and he said it again pregame
