The 2012-2013 College basketball random thoughts Thread

[Skilltastrophy]

i've seen them 3 times twice against the zags and against byu... they would be 500 in the sec... and the sec is bad... they would be the 6th or 7th best team in the a 10

They also obliterated Creighton this year too

but I'm not going to argue that they're great...just that they should be in the tournament

there's not 37 at-large teams with better resumes...there just aren't

now...maybe you put them on the play-in game 12 line and they barely sneak in?...fine.

but to say they shouldn't be in the tournament is ridiculous...and to say they'd be LSU-Georgia level in the SEC is also nonsense

I watched a ton of crappy ass SEC basketball this year because Mizzou is in the conference...and this is the worst Mizzou team in 4 or 5 years...St. Mary's would at least perform like them...11-7 status in conference

this is a bad year for hoops in general...teams that normally wouldn't make it in will make it in this year

Not taking shyt away from K.O., but this Waldo dude is terrible. They keep hyping his energy and toughness... but where is his talent?

He looked better in the other games....but tonight? :kobedamn:

 

[mastermind]

at least len stays, no?

if he a top 10 pick, he leaves. For his development, he should stay. FOr his pockets, he should go.

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.

yeah, I cant see him staying.

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

that March weekend in 2004 will not happen this year.

Congrats on steamrolling St. Mary's College of Australia. Your other big man is actually pretty talented. Can't remember his name right now.

I'm rooting for Momo Jones and Iona to win the Maac.

What? I'm obviously not talking about Harris or Olynyk. I think his name was Dower. He looked - unlike Waldo - like a skilled big man. Am I completely off? First time I noticed the dude.

I thought you were just being a dikk

Yeah, Sam Dower, big lefty...he hasn't gotten a lot better since he got here, or maybe I just thought he'd end up more dominant. But he can definitely play and is mismatch against almost every back-up big he sees.

I dotn know why this is the year people are poking holes at Gonzaga..this is there most talented team in awhile add in the fact this might be the most watered down year in cbb ever why is it impossible to see them going extremely far?

What team is so good that they couldnt play with?

They could just as easily lose in the sweet 16 as make the final 4 but u can say that about every team this year

Thank you. Most top heavy major conference in the country. I've seen more of their games than I wanted to in retrospect - a lot of bad basketball.

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

Can anyone think of a more watered down mediocre year?

Ive bene watchign since the very early 90's and i cant remember a year with less talent and bad basketball

Next years freshmen better be as good as advertised becasue cbb needs a talent boost
