Is playing in these giant football stadiums the main reason we see a lot of poor shooting performances in the final four? I imagine the depth perception is wildly different but at the same time I don't know if that would necessarily affect guys who play the game everyday of their lives.

 

Not to mention the floor is played on a raised platform. They get scheduled practices that are open to the public. At least in Indianapolis the practices get really good turnout. The players should be used to it, but it definitely is a different setting.

 

Congrats to @ClarettsGreyGoose for winning the bracket challenge this year!

 

well a totally fun tournament in the books...it's depressing that the referees tried every fucking way imaginable to ruin it. I almost turned the tv off after that flagrant call. I'm not interested in watching a sport where the referees use absolutely no judgment whatsoever when making major calls.

with that said

REALLY good tournament. A ton of great games, moments, and had a nice mixture of juggernauts and a few sleepers.

 

Not sure I agree that it was that great of a tournament. The seeding was terrible, officiating was poor, and not that many memorable games. All chalk in the first round, and after that it was just kinda boring. To me, only memorable excitement was South Carolina making the final four.

 

Yeah I agree. The first round was so unmemorable and the officiating was terrible. Weakest tournament in a long time. And I hated the ending lol.

 

The first time in...15 tries or so going back to the AP days. I finally made it!

 

I'm glad I didn't win just because that likely would've meant willingly picking unc or rooting for that. Ew

 

Duke's Kennard declares for NBA draft

Kennard leaves.

 

Him and his team must feel pretty confident he will go before the 20's. Hope it works out for him.

 

Oh, fuck off Lavar Ball.
LaVar Ball casts blame on UCLA 'white guys'

 

Wichita St officially in AAC. Hopefully the AAC gets more credibility now. Wichita, Memphia, Temple, UCONN, SMU, CINCY, Houston. these are good programs.

 

Happy for Wichita St. They will do well in a bigger conference.

And still, fuck off Lavar Ball. Just admit you messed up. No one misunderstood you.
LaVar Ball: 'White guys' remark misunderstood

 

If mizzou lands Knox and/or tilmon to this recruiting class, I imagine anything less than elite 8 next year would be a massive failure.

Can't wait for them to not even make the tourney

 

Dorsey declares and signed with an agent, hate to lose him but they're already bringing in a solid guard and wing duo and now have space for someone else with that scholarship... hope a good team drafts him, I think he'll go late teens

 

Damn, I loved watching Dorsey play. I'm a huge fan of his, but I think scouts were watching him really closely in that game against UNC. He really struggled to get going against NBA length. Word is that he'll have some pretty solid contract offers from a few Greek teams if he doesn't make the NBA.

 

I'll be really shocked if he doesn't get drafted.

 

I think he'll probably go mid to late second round, but I would not be surprised at all if he doesn't get picked.

 

Report: Miles Bridges 'leaning heavily' toward returning for sophomore year

MSU could be so good next year if Bridges is back.

 

Can't believe Collins left, that's gonna take a toll on next year

 

Miles Bridges officially staying. That's huge for MSU

 

V. Happy for them

 

Justin Jackson leaving. Hopefully Berry stays.

 

Didn't expect four non seniors to leave the ducks, gonna basically be a whole new team with a bunch of solid soph recruits who haven't gotten a chance to play yet and really talented freshman.

 

Grayson Allen stays for senior year.
