NCAA Basketball 21-22

Looks like my Bruins will be eliminated this Friday. Although UCLA is a higher seed…Tar Heels are rolling. The team has always been pretty predictable. But their performance this season… shouldn’t be over-looked. Another solid season in the books. Need another game-breaker like Love or Ball… but the 5-stars are hard to get in Pauley these days… and I’m not sure Cronin, while a very good coach, as a defensive specialist is a draw.

^ That will be a really good game. I actually like UCLA to win that. More experience. 

 

Texas Tech/Duke will be a good game. I think Houston can upset Arizona. Saint Peter's has been on a fantastic run, but I think their luck runs out against Purdue.

Every year I doubt Gonzaga and pretty much every year I'm right. They have 7 minutes to prove me wrong.

 

They went from a no one cares about mid major to the perennially hunted in what, less than 20 years? That's quite a legacy despite not winning the big one. I'd kill to have Gonzaga's basketball success at my school.

Very well. Just wish I took Arkansas moneyline instead of +9.5

I won some money on Arkansas too, but man, the refs jobbed Gonzaga.  Yes, Gonzaga blew some easy looks, but the refs missed an easy out of bounds call that led to a three and there were three weak calls against Holmgren.

 

#1 and #10 for Arkansas are ballers though.  #5 had a great game too.  Credit to them and their coach.

If i could afford to go to Duke I wouldn't need to go to Duke. 🤭

 

They played really well in the second half tho. High anxiety for sure.

 

Oh and I'm still not over the 1994 loss to Arkansas. Winning Saturday might help a little. 🐗 😈

Haha, they mentioned that with Grant Hill last night on the broadcast.  Scotty Thurman, Corliss Williamson, Oliver Miller.  That was a fantastic team.  But Hill almost carried Duke past them.  
 

If Roach plays like he did last night, they are going to be a tough out.

Duke is finally coming together at the right time. I watched a number of their games earlier in the year and they never felt like they played cohesive basketball. They’d also get frustrated and off their game easily. But watching how they closed out Michigan State and Texas Tech in the last three minutes of each game, that’s as impressive as anything I’ve seen in this tournament so far. 
 

I’d go so far as to argue that among the teams left, they are the favorites to win the championship.

Thank you. 

 

The hate the Zags are getting is laughable. 98% of D1 schools and their fan bases would love to have the success they've had.

Kinda feels like they're getting the Duke treatment. Smaller Private university that people root for but nobody knows anyone that attended. I'm not justifying it or saying that's definitely the reason. Obviously Duke has been better for much longer but it just feels like that's the reason for people maybe rooting against them.

Nice when the team that knocks out your team (Arkansas) beats the number one seed.  We (NMSU) lost our coach already, to Mississippi State, for nine times the salary we were paying him.  Funny how the poorest state in the nation (Miss) can afford that much more than the second poorest state (NM).  I assume its tv contracts.

That SEC money is flowing.

Except Duke has the legacy of having the assholiest basketball players on the face of the earth. 😁
