    That shot was how I found out my neighbor is either 1) an FAU fan, or 2) bet a lot of money on this game

    Holy fuck lmao, I have never heard such a loud anguished scream in real life before

    Can someone explain to me, an idiot, a rube, a complete moron, how every single foul went to San Diego State in the last ten minutes of that game?

    I say this as someone who sees every basketball foul as a coin flip who was activating v. receiving each foul.

    San Diego State started getting a ton of offensive rebounds, as well as missed a bunch of free throws. Basically, it's easier to get called for a foul when playing defense. The more offensive rebounds you grab the longer that the other team is defending you. The fact that SDSU had 3+ trips to the free throw line where they missed but still got the rebound led to a loop of "Take shots until fouled, grab missed freethrow, repeat" for a chunk of those ten minutes. That stretch and FAU's inability to rebound shifted the game

    I did and yes, I am a complete basketball idiot, but I do not know how you call a foul with absolutely no contact?

    (Just kidding I think it’s always been at that time)

    I was in Ocean Beach (San Diego) for the semi finish and the main drag, which is already a dank-aroma’d, scuzzy, urine-soaked beach-bar street, was loud and sloppy I love it

    Can SDSU stop giving away possessions? They'd still be losing comfortably but at least it would appear to be a game

    We want ESPN’s 2nd favorite team of rich preppy assholes (#1 is Duke) not to win

    Edit: and by “team” i mean the school. I’m aware the players are often not rich preppy assholes.

    It was an excellent final four and tournament overall but it got hampered by a bad final win by the wrong team.

    Tar Heels fucked around with Georgia Tech and found out. Good for Tech, but the Heels need to bring their A game this Saturday and roast Duke

    Tar Heels rip Duke, leading for all but 16 seconds, 93-84

    Kyle Filipowski is a less talented Grayson Allen out there throwing tantrums on the court. Harrison Ingram not only sends his regards (best UNC duo with Bacot tonight vs AP top 25 since Vince Carter and Antwan Jamison), but also wants you to know his sister goes to Duke and it's cool because UNC got the W

    Go Heels!

    Fuck Duke!

    Only UNC could bookend their win over Duke with losses to Georgia Tech and Clemson (2-60 in Chapel Hill now).

    UNC dug themselves into a hole, had it tied 70-all, and then failed to finish. Clemson's got weapons and they used them well. Glad the streak was already broken or this would've been a devastating loss. I'm pretty sure Brad Brownell is now officially the coach at Clemson for life or until the ACC implodes anyway.

    The game at Georgia Tech didn't bother me - a lot of little things added up to a one point loss, but it didn't really show in how the Tar Heels played and left us with not much to learn from it. I *am* upset with how the Heels started and finished the game against Clemson, but unlike the GTech game, I think Clemson did enough things well that there's some very valuable game tape to study and fix things in practice. I hate the loss, but I have high hopes that it will improve this UNC team

    This is going to be Kentucky’s year.

    It’s been too damn long since I’ve seen one of my teams win a championship.

    I do believe in Kentucky if Cal can get them out of this recent slump they have everything they need, but it's also hard to look at the Big12 and not see one of them coming out on top.

    UNC loses at Syracuse. The plan of putting Elliot Cadeau in the middle of Syracuse's zone probably would have worked better if Cadeau was six inches taller, but it wasn't bad. Honestly both the offensive and defensive schemes for UNC today seemed like a lot of stuff that had been practiced but needed refining in a game, and it clearly needs more refinement. If that's the case I can definitely understand why this would be the game you would try the new schemes in.

    If that's not the case, man I dunno, cause the schemes didn't work

    This time Filipowski tripped Ingram at half-court. What a look!

    Sure wish Kentucky could figure out if they are actually good or not.
