College Basketball Thread [2009/2010]

It doesn't matter, point is that 2 titles is more than none.

We'll be back next season

Hopefully Wall and/or Cousins do the unthinkable and return. But that's never going to happen I guess.

Wall is gone, Cousins is gone, Patterson is gone, Bledsoe is gone.

Gonna win the NIT

Don't be silly. It's gonna be an all A-10 NIT final. A-10 is basically proving a point by doing well in this tournament. It should have been at LEAST a 4 bid league this year.

Looks like Kentucky will win as much as Carolina this year.

Maybe less.

Why are they even in the same conversation? UNC-Chapel Hill sucks dick this season. Move on.

Admittedly, they do suck. But the NIT is better than nothing.

You should blame the Big East, they really didn't deserve those spots. ESPN likes to suck Big East dick because it's local for them. Like the Yankees and Red Sox in baseball.

Unless Bledsoe is projected in the lottery, I doubt it.

Wall and Cousins 99%, Patteron 90%, Orton 25%.

Next year won't be as good as this year, that's for sure.

LOL, yeah because the teams that made it did so well.

True but I could counter that argument by saying that if the NCAA committee actually showed the A-10 any respect then Temple and Richmond should have both been higher seeds. If that would have been the case then they wouldn't have had to play against two of the best non-BCS schools in the field. I could also say that both Cornell and St. Mary's deserved higher seeds than what they actually got which would have meant once again that both Temple and Richmond would have had easier opponents.

The NCAA just likes to suck the BCS's dick so they award 3, 4 and 5 seeds to teams that finish outside the top three in a BCS conference to ensure those teams will get an easier game in the first round and they stick the non-BCS schools against each other.

I realize the whole point is moot now since both Temple and Richmond lost but had they gotten the respect they deserved (Temple should of at least been a 4 seed, if not a 3 seed. They won the regular season and tournament of a conference which finished top 6 among all conferences in the country in the RPI with wins against Siena, Villanova, Xavier, Rhode Island (twice) and Dayton AND they went into the tourney riding a 10 game winning streak). The committee is basically saying that the only way you can get better than a 5 seed in the tourney if you are a mid major is if you pretty much go near undefeated which is a cronk of s*it especially when you see the BCS conferences s*it all over themselves in the tourney every year (even that wasn't enough in the case of Butler though who got a 5 seed even though they swept through conference play and had non conference wins against Ohio State and Xavier AND went into the tourney riding a 20 game win streak. The committee is saying that what Vanderbilt did in a weak SEC, or Pitt in the Big East [finishing 4th and losing their first game in the Big East tourney] was more impressive. BULL F*CKING S*IT).

/rant

I forgot to add one thing: It would be f*cking awesome if Butler won it all.

PS: I wouldn't mind if Duke won it either since it would shut all the tarhole bitches up which would be awesome.

I wouldn't mind if Duke won. It'd just add to my case that Carolina would've won the SEC this season.

Alex, your rant doesn't make sense because New Mexico got a 3 seed.

At this point i say anyone but Duke. I wouldn't mind the Spartans winning it all, West Virginia too since that would bring the trophy to the Big East. I have mixed feelings on Butler but that is because they knocked out Cuse.

Am I supposed to be happen about what happened in New York tonight? Because I have that "what the hell was that?" feeling.

One example doesn't change my opinion.

Word is all 5 are leaving.

Yeah, kinda sucks. Orton and Bledsoe probably won't hire agents though.

What does that mean exactly? All I know is that once you hire an agent you can't return.

But what is the purpose of an agent?

They negotiate your endorsement deals and your league contract. Although since the NBA has a rookie scale they really only do endorsements. They also can set up workouts and stuff leading up to the draft which are pretty important.

Damn it's Daniel Orton!

At one point, everyone was laughing at Duke..

Can't believe it's not my team that's there on Monday

So...Duke clips Butler in one of the tightest games I've ever seen. biggest lead was six points.

Crazy game. It would of been incredible had that last sec shot gone in.

dook and Carolina dominate this game... Cal is never going to win if he keeps on recruiting one and doners...even the guys that get no PT will go to UK and bounce after a season. Maybe he'll change his recruiting tactics because Big Blue Nation is not happy just to make it to the Elite Eight or FF every season.
