Texas very lucky to be in. Selfishly was curious if they didn’t make it if Bamba would realize what a horrifically dumb mistake he made. He looked so unhappy during their last game in the Big 12 tourney. Maybe he loved Austin. Maybe he hates being cold. When I watch him play, I don’t think Shaka has taught him a damn thing.
Cal acts like Kentucky is a massive underdog every year because they’re young. Wish one of these “analysts” would tell him that he doesn’t have to recruit the way he does.
How about every single damn one of his interviews about how young his team every year? Are you f’ing kidding with the same BS comments?
You recruit 1-and-dones, you don’t get the right to talk about how young and inexperienced these guys are as an excuse. Would be nice if SOMEONE, ANYONE ever called him out on that.
Vitale was trying to sell Gilgeous-Alexander as some kind of scrappy underdog who forced himself into the lineup. He’s a top 30 recruit! Vitale is another complete shyster.
Virginia, Villanova, Duke and I’m really struggling with our region because I think the top 3 seeds are very even. Leaning toward UNC but I think it’s real close between us, them and Xavier
It’s hard to be disappointed with this bracket. I’m incredibly glad they avoided an early match-up against Duke…and don’t have to play UNC anywhere near NC. The path’s there, and the kids seem capable of making something of it.
If we were to get to UNC…we’re 3-1 this year against teams we have already lost to. A week full of “revenge” takes plus JB with 5 or 6 days to prepare. In Los Angeles so both fan bases will have to travel. Stylistically, the way we are currently playing we’re closer to Virginia than most other teams UNC has played and UNC is 0-2 against them. @tarverine I’d be really curious for your thoughts on who would have the upper hand at this point but man I really really like this draw
