2012-13 College Basketball Running Cordial Discussion

Hack, I'd love to see Iowa run the table, win a Big 10 tourney game or two, and make the NCAA tourney.

Hell, as long as we're playing what-if, maybe the Hawkeyes would draw New Mexico in the tournament and kick the s--- out of Alford and company ....

Us Iowa fanbois can dream!

 

Miami somehow forgot to show up in Winston-Salem today. Meanwhile, Memphis blows out USM to win its last Conference USA title.

 

I know the adage of "if you have to make an argument, you don't have much of an argument."

Late Edit: They lost to freakin' Nebraska.

 

That's not at all applicable to the NCAA tournament field.

 

In an otherwise boring game, Otto Porter has been in beast mode for Georgetown. He has 33 of Georgetown's 54 points.

 

He should be a top-five pick.

 

I haven't seen enough of Georgetown to really agree or disagree, but he certainly has an impressive combination of size and shooting ability. Also, Michael Carter-Williams has nice numbers and good quickness/leaping ability, but I haven't been impressed with him in the Syracuse games I've watched. Maybe I've just missed him at his best.

 

Big point guards get embarrassed off the dribble in the NBA. He won't be able to keep up.

 

KU led TCU 38-9 at halftime (when McLemore had 10) and just rolled. As it should have the first time.

 

I just looked at some mock drafts for the first time. I like Marcus Smart's game, but I see him as a stronger, slightly better version of Randy Foye. This really is a weak draft if he's considered a top 3 type guy. Then again, Foye went 7th, but that was also a really weak draft.

 

Foye can shoot, unlike Smart. I'd take Trey Burke over Smart or Carter-Williams.
