Re: March Madness Discussion and prospect watch
Guys, NC State doesn't have the same kind of focus and fire they did in earlier rounds with the current run they've been on. They don't have the same juice nor energy when I made the bet on them. I don't think they win this one.
Yeah I'm talking intangible stuff.

Not strong enough to finish through contact, and too inconsistent shooting the ball. He doesn't have a reliable way to get himself involved on offense yet.

Just called not skilled enough. Kyrie coulda finished all the layup bricks of Proctors his rookie year, and Kyrie was probably weaker than Proctor. Proctor has not developed well enough in 2 years.

Is that because of his physical build? Or he just really wants to play PG and outside?

Kyrie isn't the norm though. Even at 6'5, if you're only 170lbs and skinny you probably will have difficulties finishing through contact unless you have great control and touch.
Being less skilled is a part of it though.

Watching more Woman's college ball than Men's. Almost feel like there's more star-power in the Woman's game now. Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, JuJu Watkins.

Burns' moves remind me of C-Webb

Game's not over. NC State has a history of doing NC State things. Need to keep their foot on Duke's throat.

Middlebrook really looks like a less ugly Lauri.

Re: March Madness Discussion and prospect watch
im fascinated by HOW BAD duke and ncst are and how fluidly the announcers say these bad players are showing nice moves
this might be the worst performances at this late stage ive ever seen
so so many unprovoked TO's
