The NCAA Tournament Thread

[Beasts of the East]

This is what's happening to Mid Major programs now. Last year his best player left and this year his best two players are leaving. Coach Claxton, class act that he is, has been very supportive of his players doing what is best for them.

No different than small market mlb teams. Develop or stumble on a major talent and you can't afford to keep them. Impossible to sustain top caliber success at a mid major

Ian paid his dues, let’s games breathe, always prepared & talented imo

He’s very solid, but Gus Johnson and a few others are just on a different level IMO.

I’m kinda over Gus for a January conference game tbh. But he is made for the tourney.

Raft somehow makes 2024 Tim Brando sufferable so I’m good regardless.

Raft is a treasure.

It’s not just the Pizza . They can’t make a good Bagel in the South either .
And , forget the Corner Deli with a Grill for Bacon / Egg sandwich’s . They don’t exist
Town Diners? Nah , none of them either .

The pizza and bagel problem is the Water in the South . It screws up the dough .
Most Water comes from the local Rivers . Which are pretty clean but , muddy and lots of clay .
No one is bottling Savannah River water and selling it in restaurants .

Southerners trying to duplicate pizza and bagels for a Yankee is a waste of time!

I think this is true. The Frank Pepe’s in Delray Beach is pure garbage.

I’m tellin ya . It’s the water .!

Pepe would be better sending his Pies down by plane already made or , just slightly frozen . Then , throw in the oven .

 

[Wolfie]

Unlikely, but wouldn't be shocked to see NC State upset Purdue.

It's better if they ship 5 gallon containers of Poland Springs.

Chalk night

Edey dominates LMF’s nephew in the paint, mystique over

Hurley guys win going away after relatively close first half.

 

[paultzman]

Purdue O rebounding

 

[paultzman]

DJ Horne of NC State plays similar to Jenkins.

If UConn meets Purdue, Huskies guards will dominate Purdue’s w pressure imo.

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Uconn is going to whack either of these teams. Uconn will win by 20 monday night.

 

[Mullins Revenge]

NC State with just an awful performance tonight. Looking like an 11 seed tonight.

 

[mjmaherjr]

NC State had a great run. Nothing to be ashamed of

Absolutely MJM. I'm pretty sure their fans are more than proud of them as they should be!!

 

[L J S A]

Prediction: Alabama plays out of their minds but because it's too close at the end they get screwed by refs who take it upon themselves to care about Monday night TV ratings.
