Official Running NCAA/March Madness thread

Well, LeBron is the second-best basketball player of all time.

I don't think Zion will be the second-best basketball player of all time.

 

But is he as ready for the NBA after 1 college year as James was after HS?

And does anyone think if the head coach at LSU is paying off recruits that the 1st Assistant Coach isn’t in on it as well?

 

I denounce this.

 

The Reid kid from LSU is a dead ringer to Damon from the Friday series. (Minus the hair)

 

Md LSU is a pretty good college basketball game.

 

And that’s why you’re Maryland.

 

Maryland had three defenders collapse on the guy and some how that wasn't enough to stop him from getting to the rim. It wasn't a terribly easy shot but good God you can't let him get any kind of look there.

 

How about the possession when LSU had roughly 77 offensive rebounds only to draw a foul that ultimately tied the game? Murruhlind is the Pitt of the Big 10.

 

The third guy just kinda made a wave at him as he drove by.

I know you don't want to drop off and give a guy a wide open 40% 3P from the baseline, but if the PG is driving for an 85% layup to win the game, cut him off.

Hell, for that matter, once he turns the corner and is going for the glass, body into him and block the shot.

Sure, the ref may call the foul, but he also may not, and then the dude has to hit 2 FTs with 1.6 seconds left. I'd take that over letting him shoot an 85% layup.

 

What the Wofford?!?

 

So the Wofford kid who's the all-time leading three-point shooter in D1 history (made the most, not %) goes a dandy 0 for 12 from that range. He's 0 for 11, team down four and 17 seconds to play, and decides to dribble around to shake and bake to get open for the 12th.
PS: Kentucky made almost all its free throws today. That's a very valuable tourney trait.

 

Yep, Wofford had a chance with a minute left, then their bubble popped in a big way.
