College Basketball Chatter

I picked ND St. in every single bracket, I really wanted to put them in the Sweet 16 but didn't have the balls, god damnit.

I didn't even watch the game. I am happy NDSU got their first ever tourney win, and the money to go along with it. But honestly, I'm not much of a basketball fan anymore. NDSU football and UND Hockey. Other than that, I don't really follow college sports with a rooting interest.
 


:lol

Duke is so soft as fuck and over-reliant on the 3 point shot, they have the ability to rack up elite talent but they often times end up having a roster that is basically a mid major on steroids. That will change next year with Okafor but it's a philosophical thing, and he's one and done anyway.

I don't think it's a philosophical thing. Coach K has had some pretty hard-nosed players in the past. Being too reliant on the 3 today definitely hurt them. They were making them in the first half but they still only had a small lead. Rodney Hood was soft today, though.
 
Mercer is my alma mater.

Yes, this will be the only time I post in this thread.

Unless they win again.

BEARS
 
Duke is good when they have an obnoxious white guy to hate, like Laettner, Chris Collins, Wojo, JJ "abortion contract' Reddick, the endless Plumlees, etc

It is philosophical, the last 5-10 years it seems he values 3 point shooting above all else. You don't see elite physical talents (collegiately speaking) like Deng, Boozer, Maggette, Jay Williams, etc. that they had back in the 90's/very early 00's. Parker is on that level but the vast majority of these guys are basically just 3 point specialists.

He's changed his recruiting the past few seasons but they've had hardly any inside toughness over the last 5-10 years outside of a bunch of Plumlee goofs.
 
I shouldn't laugh too hard, though, cause Carolina is going down to an 11 seed tonite most likely.

Still.... overrated. Always.
