QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 08:16 AM) Nothing like predicting tournament seeds before all recruits have been signed. Might as well flip a coin And before we know who exactly is going pro.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 09:26 AM) The problem is for the National Championship game, the refs should be the best. If that is the best they have, officiating is a huge problem that needs to be addressed. Officiating is a problem that needs to be addressed in college basketball. It is consistently horrendous.

Bo Ryan douching it up in his press conference.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 10:28 PM) The reality is Wisconsin may never have that good of a chance again. They werent a fluke, they could be the best team in basketball on any night. Unfortunately tonight they had to play good, they played okay. That just wasnt enough. Yeah, as long as Bo is still coaching you will be solid but this was pretty much the perfect storm with Kaminsky developing more than anyone could have ever dreamed. I'm sure there is someone on the bench who will surprise next year but it felt like this team had less depth than most Wisconsin teams and unlike most guys who don't get a lot of run early on but are still productive when they do (like Kaminsky), I don't see that guy this year. Vitto Brown has looked horrible whenever I've seen him play and there doesn't really appear to be a wing scorer ready to step up. They will need to get more production out of freshmen than usual but as long as Hayes doesn't go pro they will still be good with him and Koening (plus Bo).

Grayson Allen is going to be the next super hated white Duke player. Kid is going to be a complete stud though.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 4, 2015 -> 10:22 PM) I am rooting for Big Ten over Duke..............If that would be 2 National Titles in 2 months for the Big Ten. Yeah, f*** that. I don't give a f*** about conference pride. Congrats to the Badgers but I hate the other Big 10 teams year round, why would I root for them in the tourney?

And this has been a great game but this has been some of the worst officiating I can remember. College officiating is an embarrassment.

Also, how is a shot clock violation not reviewable? You can check whether it's a 2 or 3 at any point. Should be able to check that as well.

3 straight terrible calls against Kentucky.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 07:59 AM) ESPN not renewing Bob Knight's contract. When you make the current version of Dick Vitale look competent you have no business being on TV. He was absolutely horrendous and the game had also passed him by.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 28, 2015 -> 07:48 AM) I hate MSU basketball but it's amazing Izzo has this team in the Elite 8. Yeah, incredible job. This is a remarkably unimpressive team and yet he has them in the Final 4. Might be his best coaching job.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 28, 2015 -> 09:31 PM) Trey Lyles just sucks tonight. ND playing so much smarter. All their perimeter players except for Booker have been really bad tonight.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) I thought both were signs of "we're here to stay for a good while." How f***ing wrong was that. And yet people in this various thread still defended Weber when I said he destroyed Illinois basketball. The guy is a clown who did more damage to Illinois basketball than sanctions in the 90s. He is close to completely destroying KSU as well (although easier to do that than Illinois). Groce isn't doing a good enough job but I'll never forget how much Weber killed Illinois basketball when a good hire post Self had the chance to cement Illinois at the top of the Big 10.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 24, 2015 -> 02:24 PM) Jevon Thomas transferring from Kansas State. From everything I heard, he was the center point of all the problems with Marcus Foster, but he was certainly on the "correct" side of the drama. I hope he's transferring on his own accord and not being pushed out and not to appease Foster. Weber has been known to hang on to certain players too long so who knows. Foster gone as well.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 24, 2015 -> 05:58 AM) LoL. Even if LeVert leaves, they're the 5th or 6th best team in the B10 next year, barring anymore injuries. MAAR and Dawkins will only get better. Agreed. Michigan looks like a middle of the pack team and a tourney team to me for next year. Interior play will still be weak but they will be really solid on the perimeter.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 22, 2015 -> 10:17 PM) This Friday/Sunday combo of games have been awful. Other than the early games on Thursday (which I didn't even get to watch) I thought it was a really boring first weekend of games in general.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 22, 2015 -> 02:06 PM) I know I'm in the minority but I loved watching the MSU-UVA game. Love the physical slop fests. Yeah, no thanks. No ball movement, very few basketball plays being made and a march to the free throw line? Awful.

It still pisses me off that the NCAA dropped the freedom of movement rules they tried to implement. The vast majority of these games are basically unwatchable for 38 minutes. That MSU/Virginia game was horrendous basketball. I don't get how anyone can prefer college basketball to the NBA right now unless your team is playing.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 22, 2015 -> 01:04 PM) Shocker an Izzo coached team is playing in an unwatchable basketball game. Great coach but man does he have a horseshoe up his ass in the tourney as well. 1 seed in this bracket is already out, Virginia hasn't been the same since Anderson's injury and is 1-12 from 3 today and a number of those were really good looks.

Horrendous call against OSU. College refs are such an embarrassment. They get the block/charge call wrong 90% of the time.

Lol at Big 12

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 19, 2015 -> 02:48 PM) This is why I picked GSU, please hold on You knew Baylor was going to stand there with their dicks in their hands for the last 5 minutes?

Baylor choking hard.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 19, 2015 -> 01:21 PM) Cant expect the call there. Need to run an actual offense. They had the pick and roll wide open twice. People give refs way too many breaks. s***ty possession by Northeastern but its hard to play offense when the other team is grabbing and hacking at your arms without getting called for it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 19, 2015 -> 01:20 PM) Great D by ND on that last possession. Aided by multiple Purdue style grabs and hacks.
