Elessar78 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Umahguh, are you all the same people that listen to Drake/Ed Sheeran/Bruno Mars and at the same time **** about how they suck? I watched K-State and KY last night and it was only enjoyable because I have some psychological expectation of a team with a lower number beside their name not losing to a team with a higher number beside their name. It's a lot of wasted energy rationalizing and intellectualizing why CBB sucks for you. Yes, we get it, you all have a more refined basketball palate. Yet, the same lot tunes in to the woeful, unwatchable Redskins in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Maybe I'm weird, but I watch sports to watch great athletes. I'm also kinda over the mid-major in the Final Four. The Butler-VCU Final Four game was the point where I was like, "You know what.....I wouldn't watch this game in January on ESPN3. Why am I watching it now?" Like, I guess that Loyola-Kansas State team is interesting from the perspective of "A pretty awful team is going to make the Final Four." But I don't want to watch it.

I feel like they are a huge favorite right now, though they are on the side of the bracket that still has real teams. Michigan may actually be a betting favorite, because my god. Duke is going to beat Syracuse by 30, right? I mean, they play that zone every year and they've had a week to prepare and also Syracuse sucks, right?

Elessar78 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I need Texas Tech, WVU, and Clemson to put in some work tonight and play less awful basketball than their opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Tbf, there are really a lot of factors effecting scoring. 1 and dones, teams actually playing defense, bigger better athletes, etc. College basketball should be played in the 60s and 70s. No one really wants 130-122 games, do they? Especially with 8 less minutes played than a pro game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 I like that some programs play extremely up-tempo and others focus on defense. The contrast of styles makes for a lot of great games. Like tonight between WVU and Villanova, whoever gets the game to conform to their style is going to win. Villanova wants to get out and run, but under control, and then hit 3s in the half court. WVU wants to devolve the game into a frantic rock fight, kill on the boards, and let Sags out muscle guys on both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butler went to back to back championship games. Their coach is now a way above average NBA coach. They had some NBA level talent. They were a #1 seed. Only because they weren't from a P5 conference is that a problem for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 The Refs haven’t done WVU any favors. Gonna be awfully tough to beat NOVA when they go into the double bonus at the 10 minute mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Nova just too much for WVU. I don't expect the Cuse to stay within fifteen. Devils will roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Would love to see the rock fight keep going in the 2nd half, but having almost 20 fouls called against you in that 2nd half meant the opposite happened. Another good season WVU. Props to Nova. Now win out an earn me some $s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You find an underdog story so joyless that you refuse to even watch? When did you lose your heart? Has it been hard to carry on without one?

TradeTheBeal! Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Quite rare to see a team as strong as the 2018 Jayhawks sitting on the board at +140. #value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
