How long till Ollie is on the hot seat? A few more years I'm guessing

 

Eh awhile. I felt good about this team, Terry Larrier was their best player in the first couple games before he blew his ACL. He had 6 viable players for almost the whole year. And part of that is none of the big guys develop so that's on him too. But he's safe. I have my questions but I think Purvis and Brimah just were bad leaders on this team. Jalen Adams leading next year should be much better.

 

I think developing young players is the big thing with Ollie. When he took over it was an experienced roster lead by good guard play, which helps a coaching change a lot. Those early teams for Ollie did better than the experts predicted, so the coaching ability in games is there. It's now about picking the right talent and developing it.

 

Duke played in 4 of the 6 most watched games this season

 

Would like to see 11-23 Milwaukee make the tournament

 

Let's go Syracuse!

 

Pretty good game to have going at noon.

 

Frank winning USA Today player of the year made me smile. That guy puts the team on his shoulders time and time again.

 

So glad to be home today!

 

G Tech coach won ACC coach of the year.

He finished 11th in the conference with a below .500 conference record.

What the fuck is that?

 

A little odd but they were expected to do a BC

 

I wanna throw my remote at the TV. Anyone who suggests college should implement the time out half court nba rule..ahhhhh. no. No no no. I fucking hate that rule

Good win for canes

 

At least give it to the wake coach. Personally id pick the Florida state coach

 

I would love it if the committee honored full resumes and had cuse out. 2 road/neutral wins and a ton of bad losses. Ugh

 

my mom is headed to the big ten tourney tomorrow, so jealous

 

Cuse should be out. If another no name team steals a bid, I think they probably will be

 

I've been to several games and just like football I prefer watching it on tv.

 

Pretty good first

Yeah, if anything we should be removing team timeouts. There are some NBA rules I like better than college, but the automatic move the ball to half court is not one of them. However, the NBA has a lot of ammo for why it's good. I just don't like it.

 

Well I sit with the old timers so it is tolerable, my only issue is that I went to the minnesota/Wisconsin game here the last few years in Minneapolis and Williams arena is like 80 years old, it has the narrowest corridors and hallways, steel beams on the floor that obstructs view to some, just not an experience I prefer to have more than a couple times. Haha

 

Personally, I don't think football and basketball are close live or on tv. I think basketball is much more fun to watch and has less downtime, until you get to the tv timeouts and certain dragged out endings.

 

college basketball in the student section is an experience unlike anything else

 

I get that, and I agree he did a good job overall. I just don't agree that preseason expectations should weigh heavier than actual results.

 

i have been to both college and pro games for basketball and football, definitely the best experience i prefer is college basketball. the atmosphere is generally always high octane and contagious, but i also prefer basketball to football as an overall sport, haha.

 

The Kentucky UNC game this year was maybe the best live sports atmosphere I've ever been apart of. And it wasn't even on a campus.

 

i went to the final four when the badgers were in it a few years ago, probably the biggest emotional roller coaster i have experienced.
