Jay Bilas picks Uconn over us in the 3rd round.
Vitale was the only ESPN college basketball talking head that picked KU to reach the Elite 8. They’re all slobbering all over UConn this year amd drinking that Kool-Aid right now.
U Conn has no point guard . They are good - -but they are beatable
Have you seen my multiple posts about UConn further up this thread? UConn doesn’t worry me much. The teams I’m most concerned about in order are Arkansas, Gonzaga, UCLA, St. Mary’s, TCU, UConn and then Illinois.
-
I still don’t get the UConn hype train all the sudden. I expected Dook to get more hype on a 9 game winning streak.

There’s definitely a hype train for Duke at ESPN. Every single person there has them at least in the Elite 8 and almost all of them have Duke in the Final 4.
I also don’t have much issue with the Duke hype at this point because it’s more warranted than the UConn hype. Their current 9 game winning streak includes wins over other tournament teams in 4 of their last 5 games. It took Scheyer a bit to figure things out and he’s got Duke playing some of the best ball in the country right now. They’ve only given up 70+ once during their streak so their defense is on point right now and I’m very glad they’re not our 5 seed. I know ORU was a popular upset pick before the bracket was revealed, but they got the best 5 seed of the bunch and I don’t them having enough to take down Duke.

Self wasn’t on bus. Not to surprising.

Stole this:
NCAA Basketball Leaders in Quadrant 1 Wins:

Well I’m off and running lost that game lol.- -I had SEMO - man every time down the floor they fouled - -30 fouls -yet SEMO still had a chance
-
@jayballer67 me too. Worked at SEMO for 3 years. Wife has a graduate degree from there. They missed too many freethrows and threw the ball away a lot. Refs didn’t help. Cape loves their basketball though, so this was a good year for the fans.

Interesting! Kinda!

Snow ? - -what is Snow lol. - -Hell according to the weather people and Farmers, here in Kansas we were suppose to be in for one hell of a Winter , razy storms. LOL and I think we have had maybe , maybe 4 inches total snow for the entire Wintr Season lol. What is Snow ?
I always get the biggest kick out of it when people here bitch when we get a one or two inch snow talking about how they hate Winter & Snow. I just think and laugh can you imagine how the People on the East Coast think when People say that lol. - -Sorry to hear bud must be a real mess , don’t know what people here would do if it actually DID SNOW HERE LOL -hope it doesn’t cut your power where you can watch the game my friend
-
Thought we were done with big storms but I guess not. 37 inches was the tally this morning and might have gotten more since.
It has been feast or famine in my area most of winter. Is what it is up here in the Northeast.
Well it’s not looking good for tomorrow. Still don’t have cable/internet. Have power at least. Will have to watch on phone and hope have strong enough signal through cell service.
-
@BeddieKU23 At least its this game and not the next one…

Mercy my friend. - -It’s hard for me to imagine things like that - 37 inches in one storm. - -I sure hope you can find a way to watch with no problem. - -you just hang in there , you know I’ve always heard so much about Lake effect Snow - -is that what your dealing with buddy ?
-
We don’t get the Lake effect, but this storm just seemed to move slow and keep circling over us and dumping heavy snow. Snowed for 24 straight hours and never slowed down in intensity.
I checked last night and could watch the Dayton games no problem on my phone but would suck to have to watch it through that instead of my 65 inch tv
-
Not sure I’ll have it back before then either. Nobody has any answers on when it might be back working. I have a scheduled tech coming next Tuesday so unless Comcast fixes the issue before then I’m screwed there

ya that would suck for sure - -hope thigs improve for you so you can watch on the TV - -no problem - -ROCK CHALK
-
Would love 3” of precipitation. It’s in the 70s today, so it would come with some awesome wind, hail, and tornadoes, but three inches of moisture would be 3/4 of the total amount we had south of town last year. It’s disgusting
-
Was listening to some media with Norm and such interesting. - - Howard point guard shoots 47 % from the three , Howard loves to get out and run - which that is a BIG bonus for us- they like shooting a lot of 3’s - -gotta to guard that line run them off.
Thing is- -Juan has JUST GOT TO come into this tourney in an attack mode from the word go. He has got to start aggressive- - stay aggressive. - -KU a 21 1/2 point favorite not sure if we cover or not

Hardest path according to AP poll
KU plays #10,7
Purdue plays #12, 6
Houston plays #16, 5
Alabama plays #14, 8
So while it’s a hard path, KU only has to beat two ranked teams to reach the final four. Alabama, Kansas, and Purdue beat two ranked teams in the same week once this year. Houston beat one ranked team all year.
That’s easier than the B12. So glad when the new conf sked comes out.

Can you use your phone as a hotspot? I connect my laptop to my phone hotspot, pull up the game, and then run a HDMI cable to a hotel/cabin TV now and then when in a pinch.
I can’t stand watching basketball on a phone.
-
@BeddieKU23 Wow, that’s a lot of snow. I haven’t shoveled yet this year in Chicago.
-
@BeddieKU23 Looking at a new snowfall map and guessing you live somewhere around Vermont/Hudson valley area. Must be a great place to live!

Yeah I can do that and likely will since I’ve exhausted all options, now need a tech to come which is 5 days out

TURN ME UPPPPP. SO READY CAN IT BE TOMORROW YET???!

Correct, Vermont. It is what you make it. Certainly not the worst place to live besides the extreme weather at times
-
Looks like I was right about Nevada being a fraudulant pick. Some worthier team missed the tournament because of them.
-
@BShark wow! What song is that?
-
So much comedy here. So much…
-
@BShark Such fond memories of Mrs Beasley keeping Buffy feeling secure. Mr French always seemed kind of cringy.
-
That list had to be done by a Duke grad and NO ONE can convince me otherwise. Battier on this list…really? No Bird or Danny?
-
@BShark A little context would help unless it’s what it literally says it is, top 10 players. If so, maybe AD belongs? Other than him, IDK. Looks like those goofy tweets with odd lists that can’t be true.
-
@wissox This was on ESPN today. Supposed to be top 10 all time.
-
@BShark Hard to believe someone put this together and someone at ESPN thought it was ok. I mean a list without Walton and West and Robertson, and Manning, and Magic, goodness, we could go on and on. Is that from a tweet?
-
@wissox Looks like since 2000. It’s real though, this is what they cited, some throwaway site

So ESPN didn’t do the lists themselves, just gave it air time.

Wow idk if that’s funny or one of the most idiotic things I’ve ever seen. A top 10 with pistol Pete, Kareem, Bird and Manning smh. That ain’t tobacco that this North Carolina resident is smoking.
-
Alabama looking like they got the good draw this year.
-
@benshawks08 They have the best player in the country too imo. Though apparently he is nursing a groin injury.
