GDT: NCAA Hoops thread

[A Star is Burns]

I still cheer for Duke after growing up watching them, but LET'S f***ING GO HOKIES! This team was 0-4 to start in the ACC and eventually 10-10 overall while 2-7 in the ACC and just pulled off a hell of a run.

Pretty embarrassing loss for Duke. They had 0 energy, little care to be there, and gave up when it got tough. K included. Score really isn’t a factor in the assessment. Duke is a 2 seed that a tough nosed, senior laden 15 seed could lose. They also have enough talent to win it. So who knows how the tournament goes but i say maybe after the 1st weekend. ACC has really turned bad since i left NC and they expanded.

 

[HisIceness]

Duke is going to be an early out at this rate.

Hokies, wow.

I mean seriously when I was a freshman at VT in 2002 we were God awful in basketball. We lost to a traveling EA Sports team that we paid to play. We stormed the court for beating a .500 UVa.

Tonight was a pipe dream. Winning the ACC Tournament? Lol that would never happen.

And we did it by beating UNC and Duke in 2 nights.

Wow

Just wow

It's also great because of all of those years the bubble was unkind to us. Left no doubt this time.

Football money flowing to BB (SEC/B10) and the ageing of ACC’s coaches/hiring of meh others are the root cause of the decline.

SEC/B10 are printing mone and of course you have the Kansas and Baylor of the world that have been working with shoe companies $too.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Goodness the easy route for Kentucky is laughable.

 

[HisIceness]

Michigan getting in is nuts. Juwan Howard must have threatened to slap the committee upside the head or something had they been left out

 

[Svechhammer]

Happy Greatest Sports Afternoon of the Year, everyone!

Thinking about setting up a second tv in my office just to have as much sports on as possible once the games get going.

 

[HisIceness]

I've watched next to no college hoops this year but the first two tournament days are always fun.

 

[DaveG]

Whelp, CSU is out now too, see y'all next year I guess.

 

[HisIceness]

Lol Iowa

 

[hblueridgegal]

Nicely done Peacocks!

 

[HisIceness]

Rip in pieces brackets everywhere.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Its not UMBC but its pretty close. Got to love it. I bought me a shirt to wear around

 

[DaveG]

OK I lied. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA f*** you Kentucky and especially f*** you Tshiebwe

 

[Novacane]

The only reason (and it’s a bad reason) to keep Keatts just reopened his recruitment. Please fire him already

 

[Tryamw]

Just started watching the Carolina game and I don't like them but they getting jobbed atm..

Feels like UNC is getting NC Stated vs Carolina

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Never seen anything quite like this. In multiple ways.

 

[mikeyfan]

I’m not an ACC fan but the officiating of the NC vs Baylor game should call for an investigation of the officials.

 

[Tryamw]

3rd bad charge block call going against UNC.
Favorable possession there

 

[mikeyfan]

Congrats Tar Heels fans

 

[hblueridgegal]

Y’all!!! It was wasn’t pretty but it’s all gravy!!!!! #gdtbath

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Shocked they pulled it out. I couldn’t watch. And now I’m glad.
