ncaa tournament thread
Damn Marquette!! That was horrible D. I would've helped, even though it was straight man. I don't think Pondexter thought about passing the ball, so helpside would've been smart. Another loss for me today.
Venoy Overton won't get drafted. He's not talented enough offensively, and he has no PG skills despite being 5'10." He's strictly a full-court pressure defender.
i said it earlier. I had not watched much big east this year until the big east tournament, and then i watched most those games, but i was not that impressed. I still think it might have been the best conference, but not amazing by any means. I see "experts" on the internet talking about how Utah State wouldn't stand a chance in the big east and seton hall going 9-9 in the toughest conference is an automatic bid. But so far, big east has looked pretty normal.
venoy was breaking guys down left and right in full court situations. His ball handling is better then anyone else on the washington roster. I dont know if he will get drafted, but he is defenitely more then just a defender with that ball handling and speed.
It's still early, Iggy, but I feel your pain. Texas losing would only knock me down even further. I picked Wake in 2 of my brackets, but they happen to be my 2 worst brackets. No idea what's wrong with Texas; they have a senior leader in Damion James, a freshman phenom in Avery Bradley, two quality big men in Gary Johnson and Dexter Pittman, two solid contributors in Jordan Hamilton and J'Covan Brown, but they just can't put the pieces together. Is a point guard THAT important?
On a side note, how cool would it be to keep this thread active during the entire tournament?
Upside Aminu, but James is more polished...I think James is a very underrated prospect who could be an elite 3rd or 4th option offensively. He also is a very good rebounder. Aminu has more versatility though, that's why he has more upside.
That could ruin the run the were trying to make this tourny if he's out...They need to win this one though for the sake of my bracket.
I only have them going to the 2nd round..then getting knocked out
San Diego St needs to keep on playing well, as they have to start the half.
Texas playing uninspired again.
J'Covan Brown is finally showing why he shoots so much. I just thought he was selfish, his shot isn't broke after all. He's stepped up. Texas has to hold on though.
As I typed that he misses 2 free throws...
Ish Smith is playing too out of control and they won't give the ball to Aminu for some reason
I would be mad at this, but Ish Smith is someone I know personally. That big shot couldn't have fallen for a better guy. Texas shouldn't have let the lead slip though. J'Covan Brown shouldn't have passed when he was in that trap to Gary Johnson. I knew Johnson would miss both FT's. He looked scared from the time he got fouled.
Yea Thomas is a big scoring talent...But he has bad shot selection. He's very crafty scoring the ball but he lanks range on his shot and needs to be open to get it off. He can be a late 1st or more likely and early 2nd round pick though if he works on those things.
UNLV v. Northern Iowa game very exciting. Never thought I'd say that.
G'Town is getting ready to ruin alot of peoples brackets...I'm starting to give up on them.
