basketball is a stupid game and i hate it

Mick coached really well down the stretch.

How is Wagner like #10 on mock drafts and Juzang isn't even a second rounder?

Juzang is in the first round now. Maybe top 20.

Contested? What were u watching? Tyger was in the spin cycle thinking drive. He was literally backing up.

First, a pullup 3 has a 5-10 point lower shooting percentage than a catch and shoot. Second, with the clock running down and a defender right there, the shot is going to be rushed. It's a harder shot than it looks.

An AAC team and Mick Cronin are in the final four.

Lol

but Mick isn't stupid. He knew when to upgrade.

It wasn't contested. The defender was nowhere near him. He was backing up. I never commented on the difficulty of a pullup. Some people will argue anything.

Something something size matters....

 

[gsmooth]

Wide open 3 with no one in sight and air ball...

He was nervous when he shot. That is why he short-armed instead of shooting it with a confident follow through

Bye bye Big 10 - you hate to see such an omnipotent league come up short. Clearly, with 2 #1 seeds and 2 #2 seeds, and a #4 seed, the only explanation must be that the tough battles in the league night in night out, took it out of the teams before they got to the big dance. We had a lot of posts with evidence that they were over rated, but, there is no possibility that could have been true. We know they were great because the talking heads said so.

Wagner was abysmal this game. He almost literally did nothing.

The Big ~10 had their best year possible, seeding wise. The BE had one of our worst. And I know the fact that we won the BET and pulled back into first in tourney wins influences me, but I feel like the BE had a just as good of a year.

UCONN and Nova were probably underseeded. I was expecting another Husky team to win it all. Offense intended.

 

[jibsey]

Gonzaga has still only used 1 bench player. Only uses 1 traditional big at a time. Never stops moving the ball. Hurley take note?

Just a beautiful thing to behold.

 

[alphasigko]

Think I hate them more than Duke and Kentucky now.

Why? Because they are THAT good?

Just a beautiful thing to behold.

Poetry in motion! The way the game is supposed to be played!

An AAC team and Mick Cronin are in the final four.

Lol

We were dragging down both. The Big East disappointing this year isn't a great look either.

Mick coached really well down the stretch.

definitely. his coaching strategy to have michigan miss layups and wide open threes was brilliant

I’m watching these guys shoot 3’s last night and I’m actually thinking “we shoot 3’s better than this!” And that’s not good.
