The 2012-2013 College basketball random thoughts Thread

Just when I start feeling good about the Tarheels and the season

And I don't understand why people are down on Gonzaga. Yeah they played a bad team and let them stay in the game too long but damn they didn't lose like other teams did. How quickly folks forget teams like PSU and TCU taking down top 10 teams.

the best team they have beat since january is st marys... there 2 Ls expose their major weakness they cant defend athletic wing players

I'd be glad if the zags won it all to keep any of our rivals from getting a title in this watered down year...Few has never won a sweet 16 game... Casey Calvar/Matt santangelo arent walkin through that door

awful L by michigan... they dont defend well enough... they were 1 big away from being legit... too bad McGary is a year away... hopefully Robinson comes back cause u know burke/Hardaway are gone

Not gonna lie, that was nasty.

Sweet, sweet escape. Came back from a 17 point 1st half lead (and 13 point halftime lead) to beat Maryland. We're still alive.

NIT it is

at least len stays, no?


what were crean and the michigan assistant beefin for? dude used to work under him i think

 

[phillycavsfan]

If Len has any sense, this will be his last year of college ball. He's got a chance to be a top 15 pick.

And here I was thinking the Terps could run the table after beating Duke. Guess I gotta own this one.

But hey, there's always the chance they can pull out a miracle 4-day run later this week.... Right? Right? Right?

not just that, dean is regarded as "an innovator of the sport" for bringing that cheap ass tactic that won him numerous 6-4 games to the NCAA...

Dean did more for college basketball than you'll ever know

 

[MightyHealthy]

if you ain't playin 2k8

I got 2K7 and 2K8...I switch it up every now and then...2K7 has a different tempo, but it's just as solid as 2K8 IMHO.

Both games are golden to me

Exactly.

I'm a Duke fan but Dean had black players before a lot of schools did...unlike Kentucky

 

[MightyHealthy]

Does anyone know if a father and son have coached different teams in the NCAA tourney before?

There's a solid shot at it when Richard Pitino's FIU Panthers take on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers for the Sun Belt Conference championship on ESPN at 7PM ET tonight...
