GDT: NCAA Hoops thread

West Virginia hires Drake HC DeVries, really like this move.

ACC started this garbage and mishandled it at every expansion. It’s pretty fitting that they could be reduced to a 3rd tier conference soon, if a conference at all.

ACC started this garbage in 2003 when the Big 12 destroyed the SWC in 1996?

This has been going on ever since the SEC went to 12 teams.

Very good hire. Drake is not an easy job, and 3 NCAA tournaments in 4 years when Drake had made the tournament a total of 4 times before DeVries arrived (1969, 1970, 1971, 2008) is a great resume.

One of Clemson or Alabama will be going to their first ever FF.

Also Arizona is the western version of Syracuse.

 

[To Be Determined]

Even if they lose, NC State lasted longer in the tourney than unc!

No one to blame but ourselves for that one! Alas, off to lick my wounds in NYC and Aruba with a crew of Ranger fans and fam. Much drinking and indulgence might take place.

 

[HisIceness]

Yo what?

 

[MinJaBen]

Is this real life?

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Is this just fantasy

 

[HisIceness]

Kevin Keatts and his merry band of misfits are still playing. Wow!

Whoa!

 

[the halleJOKEL]

why not us?

 

[Wolfpuck]

As an NC State alumni, this is pretty neat.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Let's go Duke!

Go Pack!

And 150% not expected...I can't remember the last time State (in any sport really) played like this when it really mattered especially after such a putrid end to the season. We'll usually lose to an unranked team in a Bowl game or out the first round in any tournament and unranked ourselves within 2-3 games of being well-ranked

Also, I'm no Duke fan, but Duke-State game in Elite Right is just extra salt for Tar Hole fans!!

 

[HisIceness]

The NC State women's team also won last night and will face Texas in the Elite 8.

Kind of not bad for Wake County basketball if I'm being honest. Keep it going!

lol dook

The duke from the last 2 months of the season came back around. Not surprising.

State loses their inside advantage with Purdue coming up

Eddy gets lots of benefit of doubt in his calls

 

[Svechhammer]

DJ Burns has played out of his mind

So does state

 

[Svechhammer]

If winning is contagious, I guess the Canes are winning it all this year

I watched their game today. He’s very disciplined.

 

[Tryamw]

Why'd Duke foul at 1.9.
State back to the FF
