So we now know how they rebuilt a terrible team to what it is today.

[Brian Fantana 6,685]

Randomly watching UCF/Cinci...both of these (top 25) teams are just utter trash. Tacko Fall is nothing but a big tall tree with no skills. We complain about the 12 being down but this is just awful basketball.

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

Our National Treasure in Boulder tonight doing color.  He's only a little high but it's plenty enough.  And way too much for Pasch.

The tournament will be very top heavy.  Wouldn't be shocked to see all chalk in the FF.

"WASHINGTON 

The NCAA must allow student-athletes to use their name, image and likeness, opening the door for players to profit while in school, under new federal legislation proposed by a member of Republican House leadership."

On the one hand, this.

On the other, don't forget the insane ability to see coaches like Barnes and Bennett shit themselves and lose before the Elite 8 and fuck up everyone's brackets as usual. 

[Blotto 23,498]

Ja Morant is a baller. Starts with 14 of Murray States first 16 pts.

[BigOrange1 6,436]

first time to really watch morant.  very impressed.

No Zion for Duke-UNC regular season finale tonight. Womp womp.

Here's NC State's non-conference wins. 

Mount Saint Mary's, Maryland East Shore, UNC Asheville, Maine,  Saint Peters, Mercer, Vanderbilt (9-21), Western Carolina, Penn State (13-17), USC Upstate, Loyola University Maryland. 

11/20 wins against complete trash. 

Clemson has a similar resume as NCSU, but much more competitive in the losses. With the win against Cuse today, I think their ticket is punched if they beat the Wolpfack in the 8/9 game.

Really hope, selfishly, that Zion is ready to place in the NCAA tourney. He's about the only reason I'll make time to watch the ACC/Duke right now.

[Brian Fantana 6,685]

Tacko Fall is so bad holy crap

[Underdog 28,623]

It would appear after bragging on them, the Vols, Marquette and Nova have been bitten by the Underdog curse.  In that case, Duke and UNC are playing great, can see either one of them winning it all. 

[mulletpelini 5,211]

Duke just lose another sub?

[DanRydell 799]

Duke just lose another sub?

Bolden is a starter. Coach K is gonna have to petition to suit Nate James up just for a warm body in the front court.

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

Game has passed Valentine.

[Brian Fantana 6,685]

Dook is donezo

[Wally Fairway 5,546]

I hope this ACC thing gets over in time for ESPN to show the B1G championship game from the opening tip

Go Green!

[Brian Fantana 6,685]

Right on cue, 10-0 run by Dook. I guess I should never underestimate Roy's ability to piss away games.

[Goo Punch 4,275]

Molly McGrath is wifey material. 

[pops 6,984]

 

Miller sounds done at U of pAy. 

[Brian Fantana 6,685]

Not gonna lie, Michigan is getting jobbed in this game

Michigan is a bunch of snowflakes and is getting pounded into submission.

[Brian Fantana 6,685]

That is also true

[Underdog 28,623]

Rough day for the Home teams in the Big South/ASUN conferences, both Radford and Lipscomb lose at Home in their conf. finals. 

Now it's time to see if the might Sharks of Nova Southeastern can break this string, looking bleak at the moment, down 12 to Florida Southern in the Sunshine State Conference finals.

Saint Mary's up on Gonzaga in the second half. Bid stealer watch is in effect.

[BigOrange1 6,436]

my god gonzaga looks fucking terrible.  

this is a shocking result.

[Machinator 32,099]

Gaels are going dancing, and the bubble just contracted by one team.

[Underdog 28,623]

Clemson/NCSU tied up with less than 3 secs left on clock, Pack going to the line. 

Wolfpack hang on 59-58. 

Edited March 13, 2019 by Underdog

[Machinator 32,099]

That was essentially a play-in game for those two teams, IMO.

[Underdog 28,623]

Hokies about to put the final nail into the Canes season, up 20 late in 2nd half. 

[Machinator 32,099]

 

[Braff Zacklin 13,561]

Regarding Shaver's firing, my cynical heart suggests the motivations are probably something other than performance.

I couldn't watch, because ESPN flew Vitale in to work the game even though someone not impossible to listen to worked the semifinals the night befpre.

[Underdog 28,623]

Good job on the unis, Pitt.

Really disappointing game for Clemson. The reffing was terrible, and partially contributed to Clemson's signature second half collapse, but ultimately nobody is as proficient as Clemson is at losing close games. I think the scenario for those two teams is still 1) neither get in, or 2) Clemson sneaks in. I still think Clemson probably deserves a bid more than some other bubble teams, but we'll see...

How much more leash does Brownell get?

It's tough to say. He made the sweet sixteen last year and got an extension, but this year was a massive disappointment. I have a feeling he gets one more year, but I could also see a shake up if the cards fall right. For example, if Texas cans Shaka, I could see Clemson making a push to bring him back. Shaka with Havoc at Clemson would get a lot of people excited.

Yeah, that definitely seems like a farewell.

man, just a week away from one of the best weekends of the year.  can't wait.

Zion gon' play.

Not a fiscally smart move since he's all but guaranteed to go No.1 overall regardless, but it's hard not to like/admire the kid for essentially saying, "Fuck it, I want to play."

[Machinator 32,099]

Ohio State wins a likely play-in game against Indiana, who's probably going to be out of the money on Selection Sunday now.

[Underdog 28,623]

I know it’s against SC rules but they should pair IU with Sparty in 1st Rd and watch MSU sweat, same with UT & UNC 

[Machinator 32,099]

Keep an eye on that Boise State-Nevada game. If the Pack go down, the MWC becomes ripe for a bid-stealer.
