I actually wondered if we could go a whole Duke-Carolina game with no posts. Then it would have officially been time to end the thread.

I saw Bowser post this week so I know he's lurking somewhere. Show yourself!

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Matt Jones, you are not allowed to shoot. Just stop.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

The bank is open.

ESPN has their programming for the week.

Grayson really looking to cement his villain status in his last rivalry game.

ESPN has their programming for the month.

FTFY

Why did UNC bring out the crying meme guy?

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

I think I hate Greyson Allen even more than I hate Laetner.

 

[Proelite]

I think I hate Greyson Allen even more than I hate Laetner.

Too bad he won his title before he was hated like this. 😢

Him winning this year would have been much better for me personally for all the grief it would have caused.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

this game is killing me....

 

[Proelite]

this game is killing me....

Well it's over and we lost on FTs of all things.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I think we know where the season's going anyway at this point.

All I ask for now is to keep it close in both games against the University of the People and not lose on the first day of the ACC Tourney.

It'd be neat if they could stay ranked too but that ship may have already sailed

2/3 of the mission accomplished!


Bring on our loss to Georgia Tech on Wednesday and to UNC Pembroke next week!

 

[Deleted member 12837]

Going into this game, I was quite confident we'd lose handily. Then we had to go and keep it close for 37 minutes and actually get my hopes up *sigh*

Maybe we'll actually get a rubber match in the ACC tournament this year. Been a while since that happened (2011).

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Game was rigged. #FAKESCORES

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Assuming that Duke doesn't win the ACC Tourney or the NCAA Tourney (I'd say this is a pretty good assumption) this will be the first time they've had back to back seasons with double-digit losses in a looooong looong time.

06/07 and 07/08 couldn't even manage that!

NW loses and Iowa and Michigan win:

5. Mich St. 3-1
6. NW 2-1
7. Iowa 1-2
8. Mich 1-3

I think.

Mich gets Illinois in 8-9. Iowa gets Indiana 7-10.

Oh St Rutgers in 11-14 to get NW in 2nd Rd.

Nebraska Penn St in 12-13 to get Mi St in 2nd Rd.

Wisconsin-Minnesota winner gets 2. Loser gets 4.

If Wisconsin loses and NW wins. NW gets 4 and Wisconsin 5.

Gophers on Maryland's side is better for them. QF against a salt team would be interesting. Beat both Iowa and Indiana in competitive games. If Maryland-Wisconsin are on the bottom half that'd be great for Iowa-Indiana. Could make it to the championship game. Iowa should not overlook Penn St tho or else Michigan gets 7 if they can beat Nebraska.

Go Blue!
Go Penn State!
Go Wildcats!
Go Gophers!

 

[ErasureAcer]

I think Michigan would rather play Wisc in 2-7 game than Minnesota. Unless u want to play us for revenge. Illinois in 8-9 could also be the better game than Indiana in 7-10 for your team to get another win.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I'm not the least bit afraid of Minnesota. You aren't getting 41 FT's on a neutral court.

 

[ErasureAcer]

See u in the semifinals.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Sorry Fellows, but I am like 90% sure Groce is going to cheese out a win in a futile effort to keep his job.

(we'll then lose by 25 to Purdue)

Wouldn't surprise me. LOL

We'll do out best to put him out of your misery though.

 

[ryseing]

If y'all have time tonight I recommend watching the CAA Championship. UNCW is really fun to watch.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Gophers cleaning up.
1st team BT, Mason
3rd team BT, Murphy
Defensive player of the year BT, Lynch
Freshman BT team, Coffey
Coach of the year BT, Pitino

Lynch was robbed of a team. Dude can score too!

No Monte Morris on the Cousy finalists is shit.

No Monte Morris on the Cousy finalists is shit.

Yeah he's the best PG in the country IMO.

 

[ryseing]

Thank goodness it's over.

Now to wait in anticipation for our hire.

Oh, the ACC tournament started today. State already lost?

 

[ryseing]

Being the first out is only fitting.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Being the first out is only fitting.

I wonder if Sidney Lowe still has the red blazer.

 

[unknownstranger]

Beat Saint Mary's by double digits again. Still don't think we're getting a 1 seed. Really curious what seed Saint Mary's ends up as. They're 28-1 against everyone but us but their OoC schedule is garbage.

 

[Proelite]

I wonder what record would Gonzaga have in the ACC.

🤔

Kenpom doesn't seem to do a good job of adjusting for SOS as BPI does.

BPI is absolutely garbage. ESPN just wanted their own stat.

 

[Deleted member 12837]

On one hand I'm pretty disappointed at this lazy defense down the stretch, but on the other I realize it makes sense to look ahead and try to rest a bit.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I didn't watch the game so...whatever.

Let's talk about the important stuff

Like Jim Boeheim pissing off ACC traditionalists everywhere

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

I just checked Syracuse's resume and they really shouldn't be in the tournament, but they'll probably sneak in and make it to the Final 4 again.

 

[Karl2177]

I don't understand how ESPN still has Clemson on the bubble. Any team that loses 12 conference games shouldn't be in the tournament.

 

[Proelite]

There was a Duke game today!?

 

[bucknuticus]

LOL WERE SO BAD

 

[ErasureAcer]

Refs were helping Ohio State and they still lost.

 

[Brian Fellows]

LOL WERE SO BAD

How much longer is Thad around do you think?

 

[bucknuticus]

How much longer is Thad around do you think?

I think Thad wont get fired, hes the best coach OSU bball has ever had. Thad will hang it up due to his health. Dudes look like hes aged 15 years in the last 2 and is only 49, but the back issues have hurt his ability to be out on the road coaching. I can see us getting a new coach in about 3 years, but I think we have hit rock bottom in the Thad matta era.

Geographical center of the conference is an hour north of Greensboro. It's a tradition for a reason. IMO I'm fine with the ACCT being rotated to DC and Atlanta, but Greensboro deserves to host at least once every three years.

And it should never be in NYC.

 

[clav]

LOL WERE SO BAD

Guess OSU team didn't want to play Northwestern.

 

[thestopsign]

Bucknell with the automatic bid by winning the Patriot League! I haven't been able to watch them this year, but I have kept up with the game summaries. They look to be strong, hopefully they get a 11-12 seed rather than a 14-15 seed.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Sounds like Michigan will be sporting some sweet sweet practice jerseys for the game today. The team flew out today at 7:30 for a noon game. The B1G was kind of enough to push the game back a whole 20 minutes.

 

[ErasureAcer]

2 blowouts in BT by the favored team. That means underdogs will win tonight.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Duke-Carolina Round 3 eh?

In New York City?

Swofford and ESPN's dreams realized.

Fun Fact:This is the first time Duke and Carolina play in NYC since they played in the NIT in 1971

 

[bucknuticus]

i see kansas is already in march form

 

[perfectchaos007]

i see kansas is already in march form

lol yep. Run through the regular season winning their 1000'th consecutive big 12 title, then falter in the post season tournaments. They'll be a second round exit at the NCAA's book it
