2014 NCAA Tournament

Slightly off topic: But I'm oddly very interested to see what kind of pro McDermott turns out to be. Any thoughts? Bigger JJ Redick? Mike Dunleavy? Insert random white guy?

Something like a Korver/Mike Miller hybrid?

Jamison is really close, I think. Maybe something like the overall quality of Jamison, but with more threes and fewer boards, which makes him stylistically more like...Dirk?

This one is tons of fun as well. Hope you don't have anything to do for a few hours.

I can't figure out how Missouri beat NC State.

Come on Iowa

This is about how I'd expect a game between two teams who can't close to end.

[Formerly Snayke]

College basketball has the worst last second possessions. Just call a [expletive] timeout.

[bcl412]

Fitting way to end the season. I wonder if there's a way to practice winning close games in the off season.

[abuck1220]

surprised they kept it close with that shooting effort from marble.

 

iowa plays too many guys.

You guys gonna take a step back without Marble?

We'll see. I think it will be offset by growth and improvement from the other 8 guys in the rotation. Similar to when Gatens left but the team got much better because of growth by everyone else. They'll be better defensively. I expect Woodbury to be really good and big leaps from Uthoff and Jok. Gesell needs to get his [expletive] together, he was a huge part of the collpase at the end of the year. White will be who he's been. Olaseni should continue to get better, he made a big improvement this year but faded late.

 

They've got a JUCO PG coming in who is ranked #1 by 247 and will be a quickness upgrade on the perimeter but we'll see how he can actually fit in and play. The Uhl kid they got looks like a steal. Ellingson is primarily just a shooter that I don't expect much from next year. One more ride to give.

It'd be nice if Woodbury can show the offensive game he had tonight a bunch next year. He showed some post moves that he hasn't really shown against non-cupcakes.

 

I think Marble had some moments where he could be black hole but then again, he showed an ability to create his own shot that no one else on the team has shown. I could easily see them being the same type of team they've been the past two seasons. Solid non-conference, .500 in conference and a bubble team.

Very possible. I've felt for quite a while that they might be better next year but it will depend on improved PG play (from a combo of Dickerson, Mike/Clemmons). The defense will be better and while we won't have an 18 ppg guy, I'm not worried about the offense. Potential to be a better shooting team. Need more penetration by our PG and better ability to feed the post because I think Woody and Gabe could both have big years. White will need to improve his shot from outside or spend more time on the block.

I feel a lot better picking New Mexico over KU with Embiid sitting out.

[Derwood]

Ohio State is so bad. They honestly look like they have no idea what they're doing

[Derwood]

as soon as I post that, they wake up

[Formerly Snayke]

Colorado getting buried.

Great first game. More like this, please.

 

At one point, American was beating Wisconsin 20-18. They've been outscored 42-6 since.

Have fun in the Italian league, Craft

Not the least bit surprised at OSU losing.

At one point, American was leading 17-10. Since then, it's been 50-9.

Ohio State is a joke.
