I don't mean to fuck up your day, but does Jimmer Fredette kinda remind you of Tim Tebow? He seems way overhyped more for what he represents than his actual accomplishments on the court. Seth Davis is all up on those nuts.

Paying players isn't the only way to cheat. Although I'm sure there are players getting paid at every B10 school, except for the possible exception of NW. Paying players is the easiest thing to get by the NCAA because the coaches/administration generally don't have first hand knowledge. That doesn't mean they don't know it's going on, however.
Speaking of cheating, Cal v Calhoun!
Its not like UConn was exactly under the radar either. They weren't in the preseason top 25 I don't think, but they've been around the top 10 most of the year.
Calhoun is a complete creep and an asshole. I'd much rather Calipari win. Its not like I have to make an ethical choice here.

Short version: Bad calls, Kentucky won by 3 at home to go to the Final Four.MightyHealthy said:Butler or UCONN better win the whole damn thing so I can say at least Louisville beat the eventual national championsWhat happened?
Your certainty is interesting. What's your method to figure which schools do/don't follow the rules?chuckddd said:

Wow I never realized UConn were that young. Kemba is the only upperclassman.

Nope. Really felt like we let a great chance at the title slip away this year. If only we could have defended the 3 a bit better...
But yeah, looking forward to J-Mac and PJ next year. PJ was knocking down some bombs, something we sorely need. Hopefully Bullock will be fully healed and find his shot next year as well.

It would be nice if either team could shoot or pass. Dreadful game so far.

Late to the reply here but oh man, giant LOL. Team ball meaning chucking 3s all game and dreadful shooting percentages?
I understand the tournament is exciting, but please don't call my basketball knowledge out and then try to say this shit is better.

College is 1 billion times better than what is played in the NBA, you can barely call that shit basketball.

I love it when college basketball fans bash the NBA for its lack of defense and ball hogging-ness and then they get outraged when the "stars" of their league don't get drafted high because they're no defense chuckers who aren't athletic enough to even chuck in the NBA.
Kemba Walker dribbling in a circle for 35 seconds before chucking up a 30% look is the definition of basketball, awesome.

Just got back to my apartment... VCU lost
Still, having said that... it was the first time in school history we were in the sweet sixteen... first time in the elite eight... and now first time in the final four. We did pretty freaking good and we made a name for ourselves. I'm proud to be a VCU student. I've never seen the city so energized before and that was an amazing thing to see so many people come together to enjoy something and support something they care about. Go VCU!

Seriously, I want these guys to tell me the last NBA champ who couldn't play defense because I don't remember any recently. You see these 50-60 point games in college because they can't fucking shoot, not because the D is so good. Butler shot 35% as a team and won.
Just because final scores in college are halftime-middle 3rd scores in NBA doesn't mean they don't play D. Christ..
edit: and let's see how Jimmer, the un-athletic guy bricking 35 foot 3s all night and college player of the year, fares in the pros. He's another JJ Reddick, who can barely get off the bench on a team that only has 1 good player. Remember Adam Morrison from the same year? Eternal bench player.

They play defense in the NBA. Anybody who doesn't think so doesn't know basketball.
The difference is just about EVERYBODY at the NBA level can score, with the elite scorers being literally impossible to guard. That is why it "appears" that defense isn't being played in the NBA.
