Who will win the championship this year?
-
Jontay Porter’s sophomore season is over before it started. The rising Missouri center tore his ACL and MCL
And this after his brother missed almost all last year with a back injury and needed another back surgery after being drafted.
Article I read says their older sister Bri also played and had 5 torn ACL's and had to retire. Article didn't specify exactly how many knees she has, but seriously that's pretty horrific.
Another older sister Cierra had multiple knee surgeries and had to retire.
Leading me to believe the Porters don't have the connective tissue for high-level sports.
Glad I've never had a knee injury.

Nova getting their butts stomped by the Wolverines. And a hook and hold gets tempers flarin.

Duke making a furious comeback on the Zags. Helluva game.
-
Just watched the one minute and 42 second long highlight reel of the Syracuse/Duke game. Every play was of a Duke player scoring.
Funny fucking thing is, Cuse won.
FUCK YOU ESPN! :-)

No, I watched the whole game. Just checkin the Highlight reel and a bit pissed that ESPN has Duke up their ass so far if ESPN and opened its mouth and you looked in the adams apple would look like Krzyzewski's ugly puss.
Even the next day the headline reads about 'Despite Zions 35 points blah blah blah' with a picture of the Duke player. Where's Battle's picture? He had a phenomenal game going inside and out all night long.
Just venting bro. ;-)
Nice to talk to you BTW. Been awhile.
-
Yeah, i agree about the Duke love. They can't be ranked #1 still. Gotta have Gonzaga higher.
-
Unless they lose to Wisconsin on Saturday the next polls should have Michigan at Number 1.

Someone just got Illinied.

Who rigged the shoe?

DON'T RISK IT ALL FOR COACH K
-
Is there anyone more annoying to listen to call a game?
-
No idea who that is, but Hubie and Doris Burke really grate on me.
Generally I listen to a game with the sound off and music on,
Or in the case of Clyde and Breen, the sound down and music equal volume.
Really wish there was an option to listen to the game sound -- crowd, refs, players -- and mute the announcers. That'd be my preference.

Dakich coached somewhere......
Played for Knight. Around Benson's time, I think. Bird may recall him fondly......or not.
-
Dakich coached Indiana. He played after Benson and takes credit for shutting Jordan down in the 84 tourney.

While I appreciate that, well, we have to beat Duke sometime, might as well do it in the Regional Final, it does stick in the craw, to beat Meatchicken thrice, once to win the regular season, once to win the league tournament, and watch them get an appreciably easier path to the Final Four than we get.

I heard it has to do more with travel.

I guess I will work on a Yahoo pool tonight if anyone is interested

I heard it has to do more with travel.
Yes, as the higher seeded team MSU was given the closer Regional. I probably would not have noticed orncared if the other team was, say, Purdue.

We.were supposed to pick the losers for the Yahoo! pool, right?
Go Catamites!

An early loss for Michigan State (though I picked them) is always nice so the annual love-fest for Izzo can stop. "He's so passionate!!! He's in his 'kids' faces because he loves them all so much!"
P.S. Sorry Whiskey.
-
The NM State PG just had his JR Smith moment.
His team down two to Auburn.
6 seconds left.
He takes it the length of the court has a WIDE open layup to tie
BUT Instead he passed it back out to the three pt line??
the three pt shooter gets fouled?!!!
He misses two of three shots!!!!
Ball goes out of bounds and NM State maintains possession down 1 with 1.1 seconds to play.
They get a great look in the corner to win the game off the out of bounds play.... but Auburn survives on the missed three.
-
Thanks Kam - almost nabbed that one
-
Oy - 2 tough losses.
Need St Marys

I think the idea was to set up the 3 to win rather than risk OT agaisnt a better team. Probably the coach's call.
Meanwhile, MSU benefits.from Izzo's center of the storm calmness in dealing with his players to hold off a.deter.ined Bradley.

My Dad is a Seton Hall alum, and since retiring he's gotten into the nostalgia and lore. I had never in this lifetime heard of Wofford.
I watched a 10 min youtube highlight reel, so we can chat about it when he calls on the weekend.
Some guy with the unlikely name of Fletcher Magee hits crazy 3's and sets the all-time NCAA 3-point record for a career.
It's a 1 pt game with 4:38 left and then Wofford goes on a 17-0 crunchtime run. Yikes x 17.
The Hall finally score again on a dunk with 26 seconds left.
Guess it's more likely Myles Powell will return as a senior now.
-
PASSION!!!

I'm getting killed... Wisconsin, K State was my rd of 32 match-up! Whoops.
I have Tennessee coming out of that region.
-
That 6'11 Serbian freshman draining threes on Iona...
he should be in the draft.
-
Other than Wisconsin 15 of my sweet 16 teams are still alive.
-
Today's winners
LSU. Kentucky. Michigan. Florida State.
Gonzaga. Mich St. Nova. Kansas.
Sorry, Ja.
-
Speaking of Morant, praise today for his trip doub but also that he took just NINE shots. Didn't force the play.
But Barrett, despite playing a lesser team - to me was more impressive. And fits the Knicks well.
-
LSU has become a very good story. Sorry I dont have them going forward.

0-12 on 3 pointers for the star from Wofford, after hitting 7 of them in round one.

Sounds like something one of us would write. It's one thing to use the word asshole and fuck here. But quite another to use it in a public article. Quite a 'journalist' this guy. I like him.
Still, the colorful verbiage aside, I do have to agree with him. Although I can't speak for him it's possible that YG does too. ;-)
-
Jealous much? Izzo can do no wrong!

Good game. UCF surging late. Duke down 2 with under four to play.

Good game. UCF surging late. Duke down 2 with under four to play.
Ridiculous finish. It really showcased the top three talents on Duke when they went down 74-70 with under two to go. First Cam Reddish with the individual heroics nailing a three pointer with 1:41 to go.
Later, with his team down three, Duke clears his side of the court and ZiZionon takes it to the hoop beating his defender and then making a high degree of difficulty lay up vs the 7'6" Tacko Fall and fouling him out in the process.
After Zion misses the and-1 RJ Barrett swooped in as hero with the offensive rebound and difficult put back.
UCF had multiple chances to win the game with late paint scoring opportunities but couldn't convert.
Talent will out.
-
Oooooooooo
"Swooped in" = pushed off
Shame, zebras.

My brackets were showing strain last week, but were blown to bits the past couple of days.
I'm not a Duke hater but Fuckin' Duke.

Referees make just enough questionable calls in the women's game in favor of ND to get the Irish the win. Ogunbowale is flat out a dirty player.
Money and ratings?

Congrats, Steve.

Woot.

Congrats whiskey

So ESPN was talking today about how the tournament needs to be extended further into April because they really need best of three so you're sure to get the true champion. Why? Because their Duke Zion Williamson narrative fell apart.
The tournament became the torment for them.
But what MAKES the tournament great is that is one and done.
Do quit whining, ESPN.
We like "upsets"!

On the other hand the final four is quite well spread

Wasn't a criticism, just an observation.
I don't follow college ball much at all, but the lack of upsets seems rather rare.

let the kiss of death continue
my crystal ball had a team from Michigan meeting an East Coast power that started with the letter "V" in the finals
so shall it be:
Cavs v the "300" spar Monday night.
-
Just checked and I had a Texas team (Houston) meeting a Michigan squad on Monday.
Seems I was a round late for that collegiate Armeggedon.
Clearly my crystal ball, and confirmed by my ouija board, Tarot vards and celestial alignment seems to indicate the winner of Sparties-TTech will be the national champ.
Ultimate KoD

Deserving champ.

Udoka Azubuike with what must be an extremely rare feat.
His FG% was more than double his FT%. 70.5% to 34.4%, respectively.
Only played in 9 games his Jr year due to a wrist injury.
Maybe he hurt his wrist dunking so much, that he couldn't make his FT's(?)

It’s Time for Black Athletes to Leave White Colleges (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/10/black-athletes-should-leave-white-colleges/596629/)
They attract money and attention to the predominantly white universities that showcase them, while HBCUs struggle. What would happen if they collectively decided to go to black schools?
I started reading this a little skeptically.
But was won over by midway through.
The NCAA reported $1.1 billion in revenue for its 2017 fiscal year. Most of that money comes from the Division I men’s-basketball tournament. In 2016, the NCAA extended its television agreement with CBS Sports and Turner Broadcasting through 2032—an $8.8 billion deal. About 30 Division I schools each bring in at least $100 million in athletic revenue every year. Almost all of these schools are majority white—in fact, black men make up only 2.4 percent of the total undergraduate population of the 65 schools in the so-called Power Five athletic conferences. Yet black men make up 55 percent of the football players in those conferences, and 56 percent of basketball players.
A Billion Dollars sloshing around and the talent/labor force is working for free. No wonder some of the top football and basketball coaches make the more the the university presidents.
black colleges play an important role in the creation and propagation of a black professional class. Despite constituting only 3 percent of four-year colleges in the country, HBCUs have produced 80 percent of the black judges, 50 percent of the black lawyers, 50 percent of the black doctors, 40 percent of the black engineers, 40 percent of the black members of Congress, and 13 percent of the black CEOs in America today.
In a country where the racial wealth gap remains enormous ... institutions that nurture a black middle class are crucial. And when these institutions are healthy, they bring economic development to the black neighborhoods that surround them.
The article also notes that a lot of the top high school recruits know each other form tourneys and could collectively decide to go to a black college together. Get that to happen a few times and some of the big white powerhouses would be supplanted by black powerhouse colleges which could then upgrade their facilities and take in some of the wealth.
What it might take is getting LeBron or recently retired Wade to recruit kids to a black university. That'd make it easier.

Sounds like it was a great game. Thought Huggy might be going Final 4 this year

And another BIG 10 gone.
I'm really enjoying this tournament.
-
That Rutgers-Houston one must have been a tough one Capn’. Sure rooting against the Big 10 is a no-brained for you, but doing so in that one meant you had to root FOR a Kelvin Sampson team. That’s tough.

In a day of such craziness how does Rutgers not finish the job?

UCLA -5
Alabama -6

What a dumbass he is. He bitches about a timeout? After he has his starters full court press the Badgers scrub team? Hey dumbass, if you're going to play full out to the buzzer then don't whine about the other team doing it. Fucking POS.

Ridiculous. That asshole should have been fired the same day it happened. Same for the butthole Wisconsin assistant coach.

I guess Ohio State has more class than Meatchicken.

Some morals were a lot different in Woody's era than what's taught in the liberal socio-idiot values of today. Then again there was a lot of crappy morals back then too.

Catching up a little with NCAA hoops. Saw 2 great games. Providence over Xavier in 3 OT and Ohio State hanging on vs behemoth Illinois.
I guess ZAGS are the team to beat.

Watched the Providence/Xavier game. It was a good one.

St Mary's handles Gonzaga on Gaels senior night
Went out 15-5 and Zags never got within less than after that. 36-21 at half. St Marys an interesting team as usual. MEN playing against (often) boys.
Was going to watch Keegan Murray and Iowa but got a glimpse of the final score, spoiled it (Iowa wins by ten). Murray is right in line with where the Knicks pick. 6-8 can play big or small. Good talent.

Oh well - down went ILLINOIS at 30-1
Got the Jayhawks left (9-1)

South Carolina really put on a show in the first quarter, tonight, then hung with the Huskies in the second quarter.
Still wouldn't bet against Connecticut, but it will be very tough for them to catch the Gamecocks.

Always root against UCONN but grabbed Huskies +4 earlier.

I did notice the absence of a star during that wonderfully played win over Stanford.
