May Day 10 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Its over so quick. Before you know it, its at 16.I wish they would somehow devise a way to better wire-in the conference tournaments, so march madness could really start with everyone and 2 weeks ago. The conference tournament brackets could feed directly into the NCAA tournament brackets somehow, and spots are there, pre-determined for at-large teams, who get put into a pool and start to be evaluated and ranked right when the lose in their tournament. Like a running ranking to enter into corresponding seeds in the tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morant is likely just a late bloomer, those guys are all over college b-ball and Recruiting rankings are much less conclusive on next level success or pro-worthiness than the football rankings. You also have much smaller rosters, so there is a bigger chance you will find nba talent at a small school in b-ball because there are only so many spots at the big programs Edited March 22, 2019 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make no mistake, they are the prohibitive favorite to win this thing for good reason, but they are not unbeatable. If your name is Gonzaga or UNC.

With a handful of 5* guys thrown in. Tons of late bloomers In college basketball most of the draft picks are 5* guys and 4* guys. A 5* ranking is almost a guaranteed draft pick.. not in football a late bloomer like Morant to go from unranked to lottery pick is almost unheard of now. With AAU ball and all the Nike elite camps, high caliber basketball players hardly slip through recruiting cracks now mid majors can land high profile guys but they usually have 3-4* next to their name still its an anomaly Edited March 22, 2019 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyVanMiller Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Duke stole that win. First that was a charge by Zion, then that tip by UCF at the buzzer. Man, it would have been nice to see Duke go down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk71 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Unreal. Duke escapes by the skin of their teeth. The 2 on 1 break when UCF were up by 4 they went for an ally oop instead of the easy bucket. Such a dumb move. Duke got away with some fouls at the end, Zion charge and then the shoves in the back on the rebound. ***** Coach K is right. He was such a poor loser when the Ducks blew them out a few years ago in the 16. Gave Dillon Brooks a bunch of ***** in the handshake line. It got into Brooks' head and he was not himself the next game in the 8. Edited March 24, 2019 by Turk71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Duke vs UCF was easily one of the best games of this tournament so far. Fair amount of luck for Duke to escape that one. As for the Bulls, just an embarrassing outing vs Texas Tech. They barely look competent to even be in the tourney. Very disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
