2014-15 NCAA Basketball Thread

No thank you. I don't need anything that will fall apart in the second round.

 

Don't have a dog in this fight, but you have to feel bad for some of these student-athletes no matter what school they went to.

Wished the NCAA would step up to the plate more on the student-athlete's behalf.

NCAA: It's not our job to ensure educational quality

Bet you clapped when they shot Ol' Yeller....

 

My two favorite meats--lamb and veal!

OK... but do you love lamp?

 

I have a Stiffel Lamp if that's what you're getting at.

A local kid, top 30 junior nationally, not recruited by Lavin. 1st thing Mullin and Matt A do is call his coach, tell him they wanted to establish a relationship with Christ the King, and offer this kid a scholarship.

There's reports that Chieck Diallo, MVP of the McDonald's All American Game is considering St. John's. Matt A was the lead recruiter at Iowa State recruiting him.They are close.

Damion Lee a top transfer/grad student - 5th in the nation in scoring is considering St. John's.

Obekpa was at the press conference. Hopefully he and Rhysheed are back next year. Also, it would be great if Brandon Sampson decides to recommit.

Shaka Smart new Texas HC...lets all be honest, this was the right move and the right time...He hit it big with VCU and now he goes to the richest school in the country

 

they will be perennial contenders going forward. Smart is a tremendous coach and already recruits the south very well.

 

That TV channel too...The money will be flying in the air

 

This weird court pattern is really ruining the experience for me

 

these refs were awful, it was like they wanted Wisconsin to win.

 

How about my Badgers!? lol UNREAL

 

I hate Duke, but I hope the shred the fooking badgers,

 

Duke has always been amazing. Wisconsin has never been good. Why wouldn't you want the underdog to win?

 

Opening line on pinnacle has them at PK. Should be a great game. One of my bets had Wisconsin at 8:1 but I will be hedging this game.

 

because i dont like Bo Ryan. He's a giant douche. At least Coach K is somewhat likable. Ryan looks like a pissed off grinch. And him interrupting that Maryland press conference made me hate him even more.

 

Go Duke.

No idea what Final Four is about. But looks like Team USA Coach is also coach of Duke so I will root for them to win.
