QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 10, 2014 -> 03:10 PM) My rankings right now: Wisconsin crapshoot Rutgers Wisconsin is a clear favorite and Rutgers is the definitely the worst team. I would say you are looking at Michigan, Ohio State, Illinois, Maryland, Iowa and Nebraska as the next 6 in some order with all being tourney teams. Northwestern, Purdue, Penn St., and Rutgers definitely won't make the tourney.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 10, 2014 -> 03:04 PM) Fantastic defensive rebounder? He averaged 4 a game. They were pretty bad defensively this year w/o McGary, so if he leaves it wouldn't matter. His defensive rebounding rate was 2nd in the conference and his offensive rebounding rate was 4th. That is a fantastic rebounder. And they were pretty bad defensively while having good defenders and rebounders in Morgan and Horford playing center. If you don't have McGary I really don't see who protects the rim or grabs rebounds on that roster so what was a pretty bad defense this year could get even worse and certainly won't improve and unless Michigan is just as efficient offensively next year as this year it is really tough to win big when you are that bad defensively.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 10, 2014 -> 02:21 PM) Horford transferring. Oh well. He was pretty soft for a big guy. Wonder if this means McGary returning. Nik denying reports he's leaving. Most assuming he's gone so not sure why he's denying it. I certainly wouldn't describe a guy who was a fantastic defensive rebounder as soft. I have to imagine that this means McGary is returning or its a really odd move since Horford would have seen a ton of playing time next year. If McGary goes pro Michigan is going to be absolutely dreadful defensively next year now though.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 09:51 AM) I didnt hate Man of Steel, but the Snyder effect really bothers me. I'm honestly not sure there is a single thing I find redeeming about that film.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 10:26 PM) Would you vote UCONN number 1 overall? I could see people justifying not doing so. They lost to Louisville by double figures 3 times including a 33 point beat down. They got swept by SMU. They just aren't that good.

This UConn team is easily one of the worst champions ever. Two times in the last 4 years they have won national titles with mediocre teams. Sigh.

This has been a poorly played game. I can't believe this UConn team is 1:50 from a national championship.

QUOTE (juddling @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 06:34 PM) Captain America vs Superman vs Batman Well I'm not seeing Superman v. Batman regardless of when it comes out but one of those two movies will end up moving. I just don't see anyway that a sequel to a s***ty movie directed by Zach Snyder that is also adding a bunch of characters won't be bad.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 09:09 AM) Shameless didn't really feel like a season finale. I hate that they brought him back. So lame.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 07:05 AM) Yes, the seeding was terrible this year. Seeding relies heavily on RPI and RPI relies too much on games from earlier in the year. Kentucky especially is a very different team than the one that lost to weaker teams earlier in the year. Louisville got punished because the bottom half of their conference was so bad. Kentucky had a decent run in the SEC tournament but they lost 3 of their last 4 regular season games which included a loss to a dreadful South Carolina team. They've looked like a different team in the tournament but it isn't like they were playing tremendous basketball down the stretch that would have indicated a run like this coming.

So yeah, the Pacers are down 30 to the Hawks at home in the first half. The wheels have completely come off for that team. And I'm officially labeling Evan Turner a bust. He sucks.

And the refs miss a ridiculously obvious travel by Jackson. Wow.

Incredible flop

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 5, 2014 -> 07:57 PM) The first game had to be one of the worst Final Four games in recent memory. I'm thinking this second one will be 100% more exciting. Go Bucky. It was better than every game involving Butler.

I can't believe UConn might be winning their 2nd title in 4 years and neither team was particularly good.

Bobby Knight is an absolutely horrendous analyst. Does anyone actually think he does a good job or like listening to him? The game has also badly passed him by. He still doesn't think a 3 pointer is a good shot.

That's just too good. Lavert played great D there.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 06:02 PM) No boards and now awful defense. Start hacking and put em at line. Way too many easy 2's At least Calipari is doing Michigan a favor by keeping Johnson in the game. That kid is clueless at guarding the pick and roll right now. Lee was giving Michigan issues when they were just switching everything cause his length bothers all of Michigan's guards.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 05:53 PM) Caris needs help. Michigan also needs to rebound even a little bit. Going to be impossible to win if Kentucky continues to grab the rebound every time they miss a shot.

Shabazz Napier is so f***ing good. Keith Appling is so f***ing bad.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 10:12 PM) It didn't matter in the end, but damn Arizona getting that ball seemed like an absolutely terrible call That was off Jackson. Not enough overturn but the prior call was drastically worse. Gasser fouled Johnson before the push off and that push off happens all the time without it being called. Wisconsin got away with at least 3 or 4 drastically more obvious offensive fouls that weren't called tonight.

Horrendous call to decide an Elite 8 game.

Nigel Hayes hasn't made a move without committing an offensive foul yet.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 12:47 PM) I don't think so. He's eligible immediately.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 12:45 PM) Doesn't he have to sit? No. He is a grad school transfer so he is eligible immediately and next year will be his only year at OSU.
