Official March Madness Game Thread 

Post#1 » by islanders11040 » Thu Mar 19, 2015 7:57 pm

Didnt see one and figure we could use a game thread to discuss all the games. Cause I know this year is wayyyyyy more College Basketball then ive ever watched. Already 2 legit upsets of 14 vs 3 seeds.

LEGGO STATE!!!! We need to win the whole shebang (a man can dream can't he). Surprising we won without Ryan Harrow but RJ had a great second half.

Hope the championship game is Duke vs Kentucky and we can dub it the 'rights to be drafted by the Knicks' game :lol:

He looks BAD. Let's pray to God we don't fall that low where we're stuck drafting him.

The 1 and done rule is going to screw Turner. He really needs to stay another year. He clearly just in't used to his body yet and doesn't know any post moves yet. He's too raw right now but, it's dumb to leave that money on the table so he's probably going to enter but, the kid has bust written all over him if he doesn't develop very quickly once he gets in the NBA.

Nice back to back blocks by russell. His wingspan is his greatest strength on the defensive end. I think he has something like a 6'9'' wingspan which is crazy for a guard
