Re: March Madness discussion including NBA prospects in tournament

NCAA rules are a lot more strict than the NBA on continuation fouls.
As it should be, continuation is the weakest ****.

Re: March Madness discussion including NBA prospects in tournament
Refs were 60/40 against Duke tonight. Quite a few really bad call.
Ultimately lost to 60 pct FT and UNC hitting 3 contested 3s in a row.

So relax d with everything he does
clearly very talented but im not that impressed based on this game, not giving alotta effort on D, walking up the court, he should be hyped to play the biggest game of his career so far. also saving it under his own basket.. not smart.
He literally reminds me of Wiggins coming out. So much talent, but the way he plays seems like he is going 70% all the time and he doesnt have that next level.

Re: March Madness discussion including NBA prospects in tournament
North Carolina vs Kansas...should have huge ratings. Two of the longest running blue blood programs. Duke is blue blood but only since the 90s...though with coach K's last game they would have brought bigger ratings. Should still have very high ratings though.

Re: March Madness discussion including NBA prospects in tournament
Mark Williams had a terrific tournament but really dropped the ball tonight with 2 missed FTs at a crucial point of the game.
It's not a coincidence Duke lost his worse game of the post season:

Pretty amazing victory. NC highest rated prospect for NBA is 68th on the big board (tankathon). Duke has 2 in the top 5, 3 in the top 15 and 4 in the top 23. Props to the Tar Heels and Hubert Davis.

I would choose Banchero before Holmgren and Jabari Smith.

If UNC wins this would it be one of the greatest college titles all time considering they were a bubble team?

I guess that’s it. That’s an And-1 in the NBA all day long.

I don’t watch a lot of college basketball because I don’t enjoy it, but I watched todays games and felt the 2 better teams definitely won making for the more exciting final matchup
These kids are ready for the NBA, no boxing out and jacking up countless 3’s, that’s the way…
But seriously I saw maybe 2-3 guys that looked like they could be decent at the next level
Obviously basing it off 1 game is silly, but from what I saw, Agbaji & McCormack we’re the 2 that stood out while the below maybe in the right situation as late 1st rounders or in the 2nd round
Love
Davis
Williams
Banchero
Just took a look at the mock drafts and was shocked to see this Banchero kid slotted as a potential number 1 pick
Surely if there’s a guy named Nikola Jovic in this draft you take him 1st

My opinion holds little value as I’m basing it on 1 game, but I really liked what I saw from this kid.
Obviously knocking down your first 6 threes is going to look impressive, but I really liked his composure, his willingness and IQ when getting others involved instead of just trying to jack up shots because he was on fire

I grew up on the coast of California and never stepped foot in North Carolina. I can safely say the vast majority of people wont meet a bigger Duke die hard than myself. I started watching Duke during JJ Redick's freshman year. I was in middle school and on the basketball team. Not being the biggest guy and with Duke being on ESPN multiple times a week my dad saw a couple Duke games and told me to watch how JJ play and try to copy that.
And guess what Ive been a die hard Duke fan since. I didnt stop following them after JJ left and started watching again when they started to recruit OADs this past decade. Nope I kept watching them even during the Greg Paulus and Josh McRoberts time.
I dont think where you live or when you started being a fan means anything. Its if youre still a fan even during the down times. And guess what even on down years Duke still has a bigger fanbase than 99% of college basketball teams.
Well said.
Tough one. Once the Zags we're bounced, I didn't have a horse in the race. But as a neutral, it certainly lived up to it.

The NC State 1983 NCAA championship over Houston Cougar(Phi Slamma Jamma) team with Clyde Drexler and Hakeem say hello
The 1985 Villanova (faded like Snop Dogg) Wildcats beating the badass Patrick Ewing led Georgetown Hoyas....say hi

Jaden Ivey and Bennedict Mathurin have that it factor and will both go top 5.

Trying to remove my NC bias but from a ratings perspective, it’s tough to see how anything could beat a UNC v Duke F4, particularly on a Saturday and one of the greatest rivalries in sports on the K farewell tour.
Wouldn’t be the least bit shocked if the ratings for tonight’s game trump the finals by a considerable margin.
