If zak Irvin and Walton develop Michigan will be nice.

Just need a mcgary type of player.

A McGary type isn't coming. Doyle can be pretty good I think but Mitch was special. Donnal is the one that worries me.

Zak has really improved his ballhanding, passing, and rebounding over the last 6 weeks or so. But yeah hopefully he carries that over into the Spring/Summer and continues.

A summer in the weight room should really help Dawkins, Rahkman, Chatman, and Wilson.

Duncan Robinson gives us a tall shooter at 6'8.

Walton and Spike just need to get healthy.

I think we're pretty good next year even without Levert. If he comes back we are VERY good.

 

[Fjordson]

The whole tournament has been overofficiated generally in my opinion. So many games where both teams are in the bonus halfway through the second half.

Maybe that's more a reflection of the general slowdown and grind going on in the college game these days. I think rules changes are in order, but probably a discussion for another time.

It's definitely a problem for college bball in general, not just the tourney. These past two years I haven't watched as much as I used to because the game is such a sloppy mess. The refs are seemingly over-matched every night, maybe by the sheer speed of the action, and the NCAA is in dire need of change to some of the more archaic rules that are still in practice.

 

[ryseing]

Dang, most of these underdog games are following the same pattern. Close game for the first half and early second quarter, then the favorite breaks away midway through the fourth.

Why I'm remaining doubtful about State pulling this one out.

We can't close.

Hopefully Teske pans out when he comes in. 7' and still growing...

[Fjordson]

That's pretty good :lol

 

[BTM]

I'd be ok with NCST winning here

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Cat Barber takes so many bad falls.

That scares me with a guy with his concussion history.

Also, this State-Nova game reminds me so much of the first State-Duke game.

 

[DominoKid]

Nova is gettin exposed as fuck

 

[theprodigy]

lmao

 

[ErasureAcer]

Another elite 8 gonna fall. Don't think I'm winning the 50,000 from Yahoo. Eh.

 

[Fjordson]

My bracket's been destroyed for a while now, so go NC State!

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Dis white boy with the patented Steve Nash reverse scoop.

What a great gesture.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Hopefully Teske pans out when he comes in. 7' and still growing...

Yeah I have high hopes for Teske. Having some legit height will be nice for a change.

Why do Villanova, Notre Dame and Gonzaga always choke like dogs every single year?

 

[sooperkool]

Go Pack GO !!!!!!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Malik Abu's rebound rating=99

 

[UberTag]

Why do Villanova, Notre Dame and Gonzaga always choke like dogs every single year?

It's tradition. At some point tradition will get factored into tournament seeding instead of simply leaning on regular season records.

 

[Fjordson]

Abu going HAM on the boards.

 

[bronkonagurski]

Abuuuuuuuuuu

 

[UberTag]

Go Abu Go!

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Go Abu Go!

Dude...

 

[manzoman96]

Go Abu Go!

First thing I thought of too

 

[ryseing]

Turner with the dumbass foul.

 

[Deadly Joker]

Archidiacano is fucking sinking his team.

He is terrible tonight.

 

[devilhawk]

fouled the elbow with his face?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Always amazes me how many silly and1s college kids give up.

You never want to hurt anyone out there, but if you're willing to foul someone to stop them from scoring, you better...you know...stop them from scoring.

 

[eznark]

Brain Anderson is the best announcer in the tournament

 

[BTM]

How is that a foul?

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

Pretty weak "foul" there.

 

[NervousXtian]

Pretty weak "foul" there.

There was no foul.

Lacey with the answer though.

..travel.

I'm rooting for the upset here.

 

[DarkFlow]

He didn't even touch him.

 

[BTM]

"His name is Cat Barber, and you can see why." wtf

 

[Grover Cleveland]

That one I can't blame on the player.

That's a soft ass foul to call.

But expecting college TV refs to swallow the whistle in prime time is too much.

 

[pxleyes]

Screw my bracket. Go Pack!

 

[ryseing]

"His name is Cat Barber, and you can see why." wtf

Because he moves like a cat?

 

[NervousXtian]

Why do Villanova, Notre Dame and Gonzaga always choke like dogs every single year?

Add Duke to that list.

..but honestly it's because the tourney is tough. It's the end of the year, you play a lot of games in a quick succession. Everyone is gunning for you.



Hillyard big clutch 3.

Thank God Ted Valentine ain't doing the game. It'd look like Frank Drebin calling strikes.

 

[ErasureAcer]

"His name is cat barber and you can see why, cat quick"

Was expecting him to say he shaves cats. Could have said "he's shaving the hopes up the Wildcats."

 

[RoKKeR]

NC State finish it off!

 

[BTM]

Because he moves like a cat?

I guess

 

[NervousXtian]

That rebound might be, as some people say on GAF.. the "dagger".

 

[NaturalHigh]

Because he moves like a cat?

And he cuts to the basket? Like a barber?

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

HILLIARD MAKING IT FUCKING RAIN.

 

[manzoman96]

Way down town!

 

[NervousXtian]

Hilliard.. ice.. damn... that was a good 3 feet behind the line too.

 

[FamousLastX]

Hang on here NC State. No matter the outcome it's been a pretty great game though, fun to watch!

 

[ryseing]

IT'S HAPPENING.

NC STATE SHIT Y'ALL

 

[DarkFlow]

I guess

He literally said it.
