Won’t beat unc with these turnovers tho.

 

I don't think I've ever seen Tre Jones play this sloppy

 

Zion is perfect

pls Cavs

 

Too many stops in college basketball.

 

He’s way off tonight. Dunno what’s up.

 

But what else would the brands that pay millions of dollars that the players themselves will never see for commercial time do with all that cash?

 

The goldwire move was smart.

 

I like his game a lot. Terrific defender, knows and plays his role on offense perfectly. Never tries to force anything. When you've got someone like Zion playing pretty much a perfect game, that's the type of player I want surrounding him.

 

Ok Carolina we got Zion back and lost Bolden. It’s fair enough. Let’s go.

 

Such a similar result to the last time Cuse and Duke played: Cuse hangs around and makes it a relatively tight game until the final 5-8 minutes, where they can't produce any offense and what should be a closer scoreline looks more like a blowout

 

Zion

 

They held up better than I expected without Battle.

 

I actually have decent hopes for a nice little tournament run, which I did not think I would be saying at the beginning of this season. Biggest issue all year has been the offense. Battle and Hughes have been been the most consistent, though not immune from disappearing completely on any given night. Hoping that the added minutes and reliance on Buddy during the ACC tournament will translate and give him the confidence to be that extra scorer on offense.

 

in terms of bubble, we're pretty much set, other than bid stealing. Three games with bubble implications
Ohio State... win and they're in, lose and in my opinion they should be out.
Alabama... win and they're in, lose and they're definitely out.
Xavier...win and they're in, lose and they're definitely out.



but god damn just give me ONE of Lipscomb, Belmont, UNC G, or Furman. Just one.

 

Please let the UConn recruits coming in be good

 

Agreed - I think Belmont has the best shot of making it, but I dunno how the committee will play it this year.

 

VCU's best player went down in the first half and now about to get bounced from the A10 tournament. Whoever wins the A10 will be stealing a bid.

 

a-10 BID STEAL! coming up


unless...unless VCU doesn't make it. their resume isn't THAT strong

 

The A10 always delivers

 

They're a projected 7 seed. They never cracked the top 25 but were receiving votes at the very end of the season.

 

i wonder if a lot of that was just perception of them having a strong record and being #1 in a10. Like, VCU and Belmont. I don't see that big of a difference.

VCU key wins = Temple, Hofstra, Texas (lost to Rhode Island twice, Charleston at home)
Belmont key wins = Lipscomb x2, Murray State, UCLA (lost to Green bay and jacksonville st twice)

VCU has almost no offense, belmont's defense is skeptical.

i think they're BOTH in, but im just saying i wouldnt be shocked to see VCU in the play-in game.

 

Play-in game was my thought as well.

 

Having not paid much attention, it's kinda surprising Davidson isn't even really on the bubble

 

a10 not strong this year. Only legit win is VCU.

 

nice win for the gators. welcome to the tournament and safe. LSU 3 seed
