MADNESS 2024 — Official NCAA Tournament Thread 2024

[Dalek]

Who are some potential draftees to watch out for tonights games?

Clemson vs. Arizona (Clem - PJ Hall 6'10 stretch big / Zona Keyshad Johnson and Pelle Larson two SF shooters; Oumar Ballo 7ft lob threat)

UCONN vs. San Diego State (SDU - Jaedon Ledee true Power Forward a bit like PJ Washington / UCONN Stephon Castle, Donovan Clingan, Alex Karaban are all interesting prospects, but the whole team is stacked)

Alabama vs. UNC (Harrison Ingram is a point forward type who improved his shooting this year)

Illinois vs. Iowa State (Illinois - Terrence Shannon Jr. power wing; Coleman Hawkins Stretch 4 / Iowa State Tamin Lipsey smaller athletic defensive guard)

For Raptors:
Pick 16 Clingan or Castle
Pick 32 Hall or Karaban

Fun schedule tonight

Unc/Bama will be a fun game but don’t think bama can make enough stops on d to win

Illinois/Iowa state is the one tho. Classic offense vs defense match up. Hard to predict but I like Illinois

Watching college ball will always feel weird to me. You just know a lot of these kids probably have hoop dreams that will never materialize.

They also play so many games that I highly doubt they're doing any real school, despite what the NCAA likes to peddle as "student-athletes".

This Donovan Clinging kid looks horrible. Get him off your lists

8 8 2 shooting 4/9 with a block in 23 minutes playing against a smaller but talented team. Maybe bump him back a little but he's definitely still on my list.

Grant Nelson tho

Grant Nelson tho

Only if he shaves his mustache

[redraptor77]

He looks good. Grant Nelson I mean. What’s his draft prospects

[Jeremy Lin 7]

Edey will get DESTROYED in the NBA. Can't believe there are people who would take him in the first round

[ItsDanger]

Gonzaga fouling constantly, a common tactic used against Purdue, they won't call all of them. Zags playing well regardless.

[Grew]

Was reading this one kids name as Dusty Stormer for most of the year, thinking he was gonna be the next lebron. First time I heard it was actually Stromer... 4 year college player, fringe second round potential.

Wow, so many 40% 3-point shooters. Why bother paying Gary?

Zach has to hold onto the damn ball. Would we draft him with the Detroit pick?

But I've learned not to pay too much attention to how prospects look in March Madness. Franz Wagner's stock may have dropped based on Michigan's first round loss. And of course, who can forget Tyrus Thomas outplaying LMA in the Texas-Louisana game.

He would hard to pass on at the Detroit pick. I think the Pacers pick is too high though.

Yeah, he's generally ranked 24-25. And I can see why. I thought if he really shone in the tournament that he could move into the low lottery. But he doesn't exactly look like Joel Embiid out there - except maybe for the legendary 0 point game. Zags are showing him a lot of bodies (Nick Nurse trick) and making life hard.

[ItsDanger]

Purdue is ranked 1st among all D1 teams in 3 pt%. Must be a reason why.

[bballsparkin]

The NCST vs Marquette game is good. That screen set by Middlebrooks was punishing. Love to see it.

[WaltFrazier]

Big Zach playing well, 15-15.

[WaltFrazier]

NC State men and women both playing same time here
