Running NCAA Basketball Thread 2014-15

Ugh, this was my alma mater's first real chance to make the Tourney since 2010 and they lost in the final minute today. Team is young and should have a good shot each year for the foreseeable future, but I was really looking forward to having a real rooting interest in this year's tournament.

The Tournament is great every year, and I know that after about 7 p.m. tomorrow I'll be pumped for what's coming, but right now, it just sucks.

 

That Georgia State didn't utterly dominate the Sun Belt is one of the bigger head scratchers of the College hoops season.

 

Arkansas gets a second crack at Kentucky. They played like ass against Georgia and still won comfortably. Do they get it done this time?

 

Hell yes, he's an NBA player.

I was at that game yesterday, both Big Ten games. And my biggest takeaway of the day, I think, was how impressed I was with Dekker, and how nicely he projects to the next level.

 

The talent gap between Georgia State and the rest of league is pretty incredible. They shouldn't have lost any Sun Belt games, let alone five.

Georgia Southern's been an interesting surprise. It's a senior-laden team. But it's also the same basic squad that struggled to win games in the Southern Conference last year and then nearly won the Sun Belt this year. Still could win the tournament.

 

Notre Dame: ACC Basketball Champion.

What's next, Boise State, SEC Football Champion?

 

Congrats to Notre Dame on its first conference title in any sport!

 

That's actually not true. Off the top of my head, the women's basketball team beat UConn a couple years ago in the Big East title game, and the baseball team had a pretty lengthy Big East dynasty going about six or seven years ago.

 

I take it back. Apologies all around.

 

I thought maybe they said that on SportsCenter or something.

 

That Notre Dame-UNC game was highly entertaining, I'll say that.

 

Don't think there's a coach whose teams space better than Brey's. They're a joy to watch when they're moving and passing.
