quote: ORIGINAL: David Levine Winslow has looked much better of late. Still not sold on Okafor. He doesn't appear to have any game outside of about 6 feet. He might have some of the best hands I've ever seen, and he's pretty nifty around the hoop, but buckets are going to be harder to get when he's not massively bigger than everyone he plays against. I just don't think it's all about size for him. His footwork is as good as I've ever seen at the college level, even for seniors. I think his hand size hurts him some (it's like you or me holding a nerf ball), but I really believe he has a soft touch from 12-15 feet. He has the Duncan bank shot down. He just doesn't need/like to show it much, but it's there for the NBA level IMO. And it's worth remembering that he still just turned 19 six weeks ago. His game is going to expand even more, and his conditioning has improved from HS, but will go up another level for the NBA as well. Winslow I still think is going to make a very good pro as well. Jones I'm not as sold on for the next level, but he could end up solid. I'm hoping that Grayson Allen shows more in the next 2 months as well. He has the talent; fantastic stroke and amazing athlete, but he needs it to translate to games.

Worth mentioning the passing of Dean Smith. Even from a Duke guy, Dean was amazing. A huge loss for both the sport and for educators/students everywhere.

Ya, part of the game though. Glad it's not anymore. I really want to see the college game get to the 24 second clock. Sure seems like they'll get to 30 within the next couple years. I'd like to see basketball rules be more consistent at all levels. In the end, it's a simple game. Let's make it that way for the world.

Let's make it that way for the world. They're experimenting with the shot clock in HS here. Problem is the cost to get installed and run at all the schools

Finally watched Kentucky play some ball last night. I was not impressed at all. They were big but none of them looked skilled and it seemed they all thought that TEAM is spelled with an I.

What a fun college basketball season. No "great" teams but lots of good teams and interesting storylines. The Duke win last night may have been the most impressive I've ever seen for them under the circumstances. 5 guys, 1 of which had 4 fouls with 13 minutes left, on the road in sports' best rivalry, with some tough calls, and they gritted it out. Was pretty amazing. I don't think Duke has any chance at winning it all this year without Amile Jefferson. He's their "Draymond Green" guy. But they could make a 2010-like run if he's back. Next year is probably Duke's year with that recruiting class. But it's such a wide open field this year. I think it's going to be a really fun tournament with somewhere around 15 teams with a real shot to win it all. I still think Maryland is probably the team to beat when all is said and done this year. Or maybe Kansas.

I could see up to 3 Big 12 teams in the Final 4.

Anyone having thoughts about this years tourney? I'm a little behind, but .... Beware Wichita State, and .... UNI. Would love to see some low seeds bust all these brackets.

So I got a one game impression of Kentucky while working out on the exercise bike and the elliptical machine. Didn't notice KAT and Booker doing much. Now I see them as future all stars.

Using my brilliant powers of deduction I am guessing the teams you pick to lose the first round are Iowa State, Texas Tech, and Baylor. If you are picking against a first or second seed that would impress me.

Ian Joseph -> RE: [Deleted] (3/17/2016 2:12:21 PM)
Nah, wouldn't pick against a 1 or 2 without clear visual eidence. I did pick Hampton to beat Iowa State in 2001. The last time I was successful picking a 15 over 2. I'm not sure I've done it since then.

Hampton is in the Tourney Playing VA in a battle for VA supremacy.

Yale on the verge .......

Wow Free throws are KINDA important, eh?

Mr. Ed -> RE: 2016 March Madness (3/17/2016 4:25:38 PM)
Tubby time lost again. About as shocking as Iowa tumbling in the 2nd half.

Mr. Ed -> RE: 2016 March Madness (3/17/2016 4:26:57 PM)
Some brackets I had Baylor to the elite 8 crap

SoMnFan -> RE: 2016 March Madness (3/17/2016 4:27:03 PM)
Yale has one guy. One tiny little white guy. That's it. [&:]
