Running NCAA Basketball Thread 2014-15

Gonna be mighty tough to beat this for the "flop of the year" award:

VIDEO: Sir'Dominic Pointer with a flop for the ages vs. Butler

 

Syracuse? Syracuse? Syracuse?

In 2012 I received a $10 bill in change instead of a $5 bill from Wendy's Drive thru. I knew it before I left the parking lot but I did nothing about. Before the IRS finds out, I am banning myself from attending Wimbledon this year. I am disappointed. I never thought I would go this year but still, it's disappointinh.

 

UVA beats Louisville, but Justin Anderson broke his finger. 3-4 weeks?

 

How in the hell does Tony Bennett recruit high school kids to play in that godforsaken system? It works, obviously, but I can't see how a player with a shred of offensive skill would find that attractive.

 

It doesn't usually look that bad, Dick. Don't forget that Louisville is a good defensive team in its own right. But the Hoos missed a lot of open shots last night, more than usual, and they look a lot better when those shots are falling. They play deliberately, to be sure, but there's a lot of good ball movement involved, and when it's working, it's pretty.

Granted, their most athletic player and best 3-point shooter (statistically, at least) is now out for the rest of the regular season. That won't help the aesthetics.

 

Bob Huggins wonders why some guy was pissing on his house, but I've got to imagine Ol' Huggy has stumbled home a time or two, not exactly sure where he stopped to take a leak.

SMU - UCONN tonight and both coaches have won their past six NCAA Tournament games. That doesn't happen too often.

 

Duke UNC tonight.

Such a rivalry! Mike Krzyzewski says it's the greatest ever but how can ESPN IGNORE Roy Wlliams dirt

During the season that the UNC men’s basketball team made its run to the 2005 NCAA championship, its players accounted for 35 enrollments in classes that didn’t meet and yielded easy, high grades awarded by the architect of the university’s academic scandal.

 

So is shitty shot selection, bullshit D and mail it in coaching the gameplan for just Duke or has this been a season-long thing?

 

So a Carolina player just put his hands on a ref then made a face at the ref when the ref walked away?

I have not watched Carolina in a while, but this is pitiful for someone who is old enough to remember Coach Smith's last 15 years.

 

I'm sorry, but Sir'Dominic? WTF. His twin sister's name is Miz'Unique.

 

Maybe ESPN is overdoing it just a bit on a game that was third place in the ACC?
