Sorry Dan! I've not been able to watch but checked the score every little bit. Definitely different halves.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 5:42 pmSickening ,game over guys . We didn’t show up second half .Dan

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2023-24
Gotta say fellas, i don't think I've ever witnessed a more incredible run to the Final Four than what NC State has done.
Bear in mind, NC State coming in to the ACC Tourney had lost 7 of their last 9 games and had to win the ACC Tourney just to be get into the Tourney
And winning the ACC Tourney would require winning 5 games straight & wins over both Duke & North Carolina ....that in itself is quite the feat!
Very few teams have beaten both Duke & North Carolina in the same week much less on consecutive nights!
And then they make a run to the Final Four again beating Duke!
Gotta give credit where credit is due.
NC State had had the dangdest run I've ever seen.
And I think they have a helluva chance to beat Purdue in the Final Four

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2023-24
NC State have been playing with a lot of grit and when one player is off another picks it up . I like their defense too , and only five turnovers yesterday was mind boggling . Final 4 will be great this as a Big Ten guy has to root for Purdue but my heart is with NC State . I would like to see Alabama pull it off too .

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2023-24
I too would love to see Alabama defeat UConn
But, I really think UConn will as the young kids say, boat race Bama
That NC State Purdue game may be one for the ages...

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2023-24
Ugly unusual Win for Purdue. They commit the amount of turnovers in championship game and they can kiss it good bye . Classic Purdue how when defense drops to cover Edey if guards and forwards get hot with three pointers it’s game over . Will see if Alabama will rise to the occasion. I predicted to wife there could possibly be at least one upset tonight . Of course she told me that was crazy ! Dan

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2023-24
Man, UConn handled business tonight
Could be a great championship game
I agree about Purdue - UConn will destroy them if they turn the ball over a lot

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2023-24
Southe Carolina was a complete team of great players while Iowa had Clark with good players . Sure I’m going to root for a Big Ten team but South Carolina just had so many weapons on both ends and once they took lead I knew Iowa was in big trouble . Don’t be surprised if South Carolina goes deep again next year , a lot of young talent . Dan

Never thought I'd say it but kentucky will have a new coach this year! Definitely wouldn't have thought he'd go to Arkansas and we'll get to play against him multiple times a year.

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2023-24
I think it may be a blessing for KU and a fresh start . Obviously they are not going to pick up a newbie . I expect they may sign someone with a good rep and can navigate the Portal and NIL . I would be excited too !
