NCAA Basketball 2013-14

I used to despise UL but now I root for them when UK is out of it or basically when they're not head to head. Always always always root against Duke though.

It's obvious now that Cal has to have an elite PG to make his offense go. He hasn't had that in a few years now and he can't coach up the surrounding talent to make up for it.

That being said, if the whole team played as hard as Randall does every night, they'd be dominant. They just have 0 effort.

My despise primarily comes from some of the UK fans I know. They loved bringing up all their championships that happened 60 years ago, but would always say "that's in the past" when people brought up the NIT. They would always bring up Petino's marriage issues and the likes (when it has nothing to do with basketball) but yet always overlook what has happened to past Calipari teams (no solid proof, but still shady how it happened to 2 teams) I also dislike Coach Cal terribly as he throws his players under the bus and doesn't hold himself accountable.

Randle is an incredible player, probably 2nd best Kentucky has ever had (Davis being a freak of nature). However, everyone else on Kentucky right now looks like typical High School players. Incredible potential, but lack the mindset and cohesiveness to play at a higher level. The Twins need a good solid 2 more years to be good, not great, players. They were completely and utterly overhyped. Realistically, put in a better coach for Kentucky and you have a team that could have easily won 3 Championships back-to-back with the talent they had. They need a whip-cracker, not a person to fuel their egos and be a fluffer.

I really want to see kansas as the 2/3 seed in the bracket that gets Wichita St as the #1. Force those bastards to play each other. Of course with Embiid out indefinitely for kansas, they may not get far enough to ever match up with the Shockers

Ya, if KU played well they had a chance at final four/championship. Unless Embid comes back I would be surprised if they advance past the round of 16, possibly even falling in the 32.

Louisville/Rutgers game... All I have to say is, wow! 92 - 31 for a postseason opener, I'll sure take it! Also set a record from Div 1 for points produced from a turnover with 43...

If they keep this momentum up, I see a repeat!

With KSU and KU down so far this season, Wichita is my hope to vanquish the hated Tigers. (If you even make it in)

As a KU fan, we can console each other. Maybe KU will learn to play defense before the tourney without Embid, but probably not.

Today we shall slay the mighty gators in a thrilling 42-41 clash of the titans, thereby improving our tournament seeding to a 9 seed. We will then proceed to lose to Georgia in the title game because it's the SEC tournament and that is the most random thing possible.

If I were to ever acknowledge the existence of college basketball (and I do not), I would endorse this.

L1C4! Cards are unstoppable!

This isn't the same ISU that played kansas. KU would have destroyed them if they played like this, instead of shooting like 65% for 3 point like they did

That was probably the most pussy technical foul on coach K that I've ever seen. Really, lightly throwing a marker at his bench is a technical now?

Virginia basketball puts me to sleep, NCAA really needs to cut the shot clock
