This continual judgement/assessment of coaches, teams, and conferences based upon performance in a single elimination tournament is dumb.

It's a small part of a large picture. It just happens to be the most exciting attention draw of the season for casual basketball fans.
Nah you’re ultimately judged by the team you have on the floor in March, not December or January.

That push,shove by Edey was a foul. He gets away with that type of stuff. Hawkinss would have done that foul on Hawkins.

Duke playing tight against Houston early. I don't fear Houston at all this year. I'd love that match up tbh, and it would be incredibly cathartic to blast them!

Maybe, but any game against that crap is putting your health and destiny in the hands of referees. I don't ever want to see a team I like play them again.

I really don’t want to root for Duke, but the Houston player doing that “too small” crap is really annoying…they need to start T’ing that junk

I mean, I can't stand either team or either program, but Houston is not even playing basketball right now. They are playing a mix of rugby and football but happen to be playing with a basketball. Such ugly basketball.

I am rooting for Duke for maybe the first time ever... would not want to play Houston in a "basketball" game in the Final Four

Hope he's ok, but it looked like he planted funny because he was trying to jump into the defender
Will be interesting to see if he is able to return - didnt exactly look like a standard ankle sprain, maybe a 5th MT fracture or possibly a high ankle

NC State looking like the best team in the South Region. They are on a roll right now and have tons of momentum.
The old timers like me can remember '83 NC State winning three do-or-die games in unbelievable fashion in ACC tournament just to get into the NCAAs, even more improbable than the five games in five days to get in this year.

So it's a fun story to see them where they are now and I hope they get back to a Final Four.

I've watched McCain a few times for Duke recently, that guy has a stroke and is a player

Local Rantoul native Kareem Richardson is an Assistant Coach on NC State if anyone would like a reason to root for them.

interesting - was a few years older than me so I didnt get to play against him but I remember him for sure (Keon Clark, Tyrone Nesby, John Cliff, too). Thanks for that info!
