Other Games Jan 16-Jan 23

The ACC is garbage this year. UVA and Miami are pretty good, that's about it. NC State and Duke are decent but I don't trust either of those teams.

Miami lost today albeit at the buzzer, haven't seen it yet. Duke and Carolina need to get hot about right now. Carolina has a few that have been in the big time, Duke doesn't. This is the time to be hitting stride. The quad 1 doesn't mean much for Carolina because of their brand, like you said.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but an amazing play.




This angle. We need 6'7"s like this guy. I can't stop watching this play.

 

[Hank]

Nearly covered half the floor in three steps.

 

[BuffLuke80]

I'm sure most of you saw the end of the Michigan, Wiscy game. Up by 3 with 10 seconds or under, FOUL!!!

 

[hokiehead]

giving Louisville's season, this is appropriate

 

[Jello Bear]

Duke doing Duke things.

 

[torero]

Watching Wichita St. at Houston. A guy ran into the basket stanchion. The color commentator said “I like the arenas without the stanchions, with the fly away hoops. Like Colorado and Duke”

So that’s how you can get Duke and Colorado in the same sentence in a basketball context. And yes, he said Colorado first.

 

[hokiehead]

Tech looks horrible. No answer for Smith.

Disappointing season for the defending ACC champs. I really had high expectations coming into the year, and we looked great until new years and then the wheels fell off.

You can't spell "Virginia Tech" without 'NIT'.



Memories seeing the tournament back in Greensboro.

Hopefully...Wisconsin is finally out, out, out...

Boggles my mind they were still getting NCAA talk

Every B1G team that ends up better than .500 gets Bubble consideration. More than any other conference, by far.

It's like the old ACC and Big East which was a murderers' row most years. I don't view the B1G in that light but whatever.

Because they don't deserve to be in that light. Most overrated conference every damn year.

No argument from me.

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Virginia plays such good defense

Since it ain't an official allbuffs thread without a Fusker smear......Nebraska can't hit that bastion of mediocrity.

Patrick Ewing out at Georgetown. We ended his career two years ago in Indy with the 27 threes we hit in that game or whatever it was LOL.

 

[Buffnik]

Ewing probably needs to go be a team exec in the NBA. Former NBAPA president. Smart and respected guy. I just think his coaching philosophies are dated to a bygone era.

They are somebody you don't wanna play in the tournament. Kinda starting to think the same about TCU.

Of course, if your threes are falling, anyone can beat UVA with their lack of offense. UMBC...

We shall see.

Barring a mass exodus, whoever takes over will have some talent and size to work with.

Pac should be a 5 bid league IMO. UCLA, UA, USC, Oregon, and Arizona State. Tell me I'm wrong

Watching that game last night I kept thinking that UVA could have a comfortable lead if they could get some offense going. But with their methodical, disciplined style of play they rarely get blown out and almost always seem in control of the game.

UMBC was a perfect storm where they shot well from 3 but an equally big factor was UVAs 3-point shooting was terrible that night. Kind of like the BC game this year for UVA

I don't think there should even be a debate.

UCLA: 28-4, #4 NET, 7-4 Q1
Zona: 26-6, #11 NET, 8-2 Q1
Oregon: 19-13, #44 NET, 2-8 Q1
USC: 22-10, #49 NET, 3-6 Q1
ASU: 22-11, #60 NET, 5-5 Q1

I think UCLA's a 1-seed and Zona's a 2.

Other 3 belong in that 7-11 seed range.

Modeling a 2020s college basketball team after the 1990s Knicks is a bad idea?

 

[Hank]

This Marquette-UCONN game is good.

 

[CarolinaBuff]

This Marquette-UCONN game is good.

Nice. Duke-Miami is also a good one, ACC semifinal #1

 

[Buffnik]

I think it's going to be a wild tournament this year.

Would not shock me to see zero 1-seeds make the Final Four.

 

[Lightning]

Bona injured. Tyger has it going, is carrying UCLA almost singlehandedly the 2nd half.

Idk who the **** is gonna win it. There are quite a few that can. Picking the brackets will be interesting.
