Draft express scouting breakdowns >>>>> watching a random non tournament game


People didn't have league pass back in the days so all these games on random week days used to be the only sports to watch .

No reason to get interested everyone one and done never no real rivalries anymore. Watching Maryland get over the Duke hurdle and actually win an NC was dope because nikkas like blake dixon wilcox mouton baxter and em went up against them nikkas for 3 years loved those games vs duke all them nikkas from duke made the league too even if there weren't superstars you saw legit talent. No a days teams like Villanova got some 5'8 pilgrim that just jack up 3s because they got no game off the dribble and everyone play corny ass zones shyts horrible to watch

I was really on my "fukk a Terp" steez in the early 2000s...

Coming back from a double digit deficit in the 2001 Final Four and the Miracle Minute against them :banderas:

TC, Ap
The problem with CBB is that they won't adapt. 24 second clock and moving the 3 back will open up the game. They can't really do anything about the players leaving early or the fact that all the impact players go to the same schools

Center self, inner self
College basketball sucks cause all those dudes go to the same fukking teams every year. It's so damn boring. I wish all the top prospects did what Ben Simmons did. Go to a good school that may not be considered an basketball school and put up numbers. Much more fun to watch and I bet to play
Simmons wanted to go to duke but his handlers/family pushed him to lsu breh.
We ate real well:ahh:

Take that shyt where it belongs :ufdup:
College Basketball would have been alot worse if the NBA didn't stop cats from coming out of High School.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
The shyt is seems like it is even lower scoring than it was in the 80s & 90s.

There is NO star power. I cant even tell you who the "sure thing" players are in regards to future NBA stars, which makes me laugh when I see teams tank nowadays. The fukk you tankin' for?:dahell: Aint no franchse players(except Benjamin Simmons). U do better drafting a foreigner to be honest.

I used to be a huge college hoops fan, but the shyt just aint good as it used to be.
1 and done ruined college ball

all the best players.. even jordan.. would stay at least 2 years... duncan stayed 4.. a lot stayed 3-4 years


you got to watch a player from "birth".. watch him grow.. learn his game/name.. root for him and the team for a few years

plus it weeded out a lot of sucker ass nikkas who could just have 1 good year


soon as they said no high school.. well then every tom dikk and harry just HAD to be a first year player... when really there weren't that many people doing the leap from high school to warrant that

so now we see a coach get 1 summer to train a guy... he has to learn the whole system... while making sure he also makes himself shine so he can get drafted high... meanwhile not going as hard, knowing he bout to leave in 40-50 games... and then tourny where they don't even get to the finals... aaaaaand there goes 5 players off the squad :francis:






ain't nobody trying to invest no time in that shyt :yeshrug:
