Awesome, my man. I'd take him on my team over any player in the country. It will be an absolute disgrace if he isn't given ACC Player of the Year and a spot on the first team All-American squad. He's the best player in Boston College history and what he's doing, with the talent that team has is something special.

 

I'll cry if I don't get to see him play one more time at Conte. Duke, North Carolina. I'm coming.

Carolina is every bit as young as Duke. That argument does not hold water either.

Kansas is just as young too...Paulus is crap and McRoberts is overrated. Suffer Rat Face

 

Kansas and Carolina have slightly more talent than Duke. They were getting the top guys at their positions as opposed to Duke getting top 10. Not to mention Kansas of a year ago was basically what Duke is this year in terms of results anyway. Duke lost their best two players while Carolina and Kansas returned their best players as well as gaining talented freshmen. It's a totally different situation.

 

I can't believe I'm defending Duke...

Duke has had better recruting classes than Kansas...There is no way of ever defending Duke. Coach K picked the wrong players and they suck together.

 

The only decent talent is Scheyer.

 

Or as Stuart Scott pronounced it after the game, "Shay-er". Way to do your search, lazy eye!

Randle can't stop fouling

 

Usually it is because he decides to reach in 30 feet from the basket and he doesn't move his feet, but he really got screwed by the officials last night. He got called for a foul while on the ground going for a loose ball which you never see in college basketball. He got called for a foul for holding his position when a NW player ran into him. And he had a really weak call go against him when Doyle posted him up in the 1st half.

how did he get screwed against NW, it was Men v. Boys, why does NW use that boring system, bring in a coach and get into the 21st centry.

Its wierd thinking about a 1-2 seed for Wisconsin. The difference in the quality of opponents is astounding compared to where they generally are put (between 5-8).

 

(And looking at that bracket I dont know how Illinois didnt get in. Barring some major loss id say they are about 80% chance of making it right now.)

i think nw is kind of going by the same philosophy the football academies use in football. since you aren't going to bring in top talent, introduce a system that could get you some wins against teams that can't figure it out.

Beat NW, Mich, at PSU, win at least one BTT game and we should be in good shape i'd say.

 

Win at IU or Iowa is a huge bonus and a real good win at this point.

Fine, ignore the obvious fact that of the three young teams brought up Duke is the only one that lost it's best two players from last year. Last year Carolina was 22-7 with losses at home against Miami and at USC and Virginia. Kansas was 24-7 with losses at Missouri and at home against St. Joe's and Kansas State. Duke is 18-6 and has at least only lost to probable tournament teams. My point is they are comparable and you guys are jumping all over them like they are horrible this year.

That would be a really nice bracket for Wisconsin. Florida/UNC on the other side.

2nd time in two days I've seen a bracket that has Texas in the 8/9 game. I'm sitting here dumbfounded. I mean honestly, what have they done to get in the tournament(for those keeping score at home, the answer is nothing)? And why such a high seed if you do put them in?

They are going to finish below .500 in the ACC and should have at least two more losses(Va Tech and one more due to their bias reffing).

 

Again they are loaded with talent and are underachieving, paint it any way you want.
