Temple lost to the Hawks by 30 at home.

Cornell lost by 2 to the Hawks in Allen Fieldhouse.

NCAA caves to TV pressure by going easy on Duke

No coach and no team move the needle better than Mike Krzyzewski and the Duke Blue Devils.

They’re the Tiger Woods of hoops, a squeaky-clean fantasy that sports fans love and love to hate.

Who's been calling them the Yankees of college basketball for years here?Also theres this.

Kansas fails the squeaky-clean charade.

Larry Brown hired Danny Manning’s dad and left the program on probation. We still don’t know for sure how Darrell Arthur passed 10th-grade algebra. And then there’s that whole thing about Kansas being the favorite team of porn stars.

I tend to like Whitlock, and agree with what he says, but the Kansas crap is dumb. Kansas has pockets of fans all over the country, but not enough to sway TV ratings. He's trying to stir things up with the "thug" protocol because that's what Whitlock does, he wouldn't have a job if he didn't. I think most readers in KC are kind of tired of his crap as it is.

Temple struggled early.Dunphy knows Cornell.Take it to the bank.

What seed is North Carolina in the NIT?Larry Drew III has to be the odds on favorite to win tourney MVP.

College basketball thread - cLaY - 03-16-2010

I think they are a 4

Watch out for the Wichita State Shockers. Had a chance to get the MVC at large, gave up a 12 point lead with 5 minutes left in the championship game.

I thought Temple was good early? They beat a Nova team that was ranked 3rd at the time. Cornell is an experienced team with a front line and shooters. I wouldn't be surprised to see them win two games.

I just emailed my boy Tack-Dogg and asked him where the email is for his NIT Bracket Challenge sign ups. He's a "life long" (see: circa 2003) Tarheels fan. I hate UNC more than Dook these days.

I was invited to new orleans for opening round games Thursday.

I can't go because of work.


I'm floored.

Whitlock is a clown.

I did my bracket when i opened up the pool.... i hadn't had a chance to go back in to re-evaluate because of computer troubles.

I've been saying Notre Dame played better when Harangody was hurt.He had two pts against Old Dominion and might have played his way out of the top 15 in the NBA draft.Some asshole in the work pool I run had them in the final 4.Thanks for playing.

College basketball thread - WoolyGoat - 03-19-2010

first time I went through the brackets I had all four #1s in the Final 4. I hate that. Unfortunately none of the 2 or 3 seeds do much for me...couldn't get myself to put New Mexico or Baylor down on paper. went back and took Pitt over Syracuse, but I don't love it.

College basketball thread - cLaY - 03-19-2010

K-state is a final four caliber team. They have two high profile guards that can lead them. I took Baylor in the south. After watching today I wish I hadn't. Scott drew is a prick.

Yea I have Murry State beating Butler.

Temple is playing sloppy.

Could someone change my title to "Mr. College Basketball" and Bird's to "College Basketball Jr."

Thanks.

Temple made me look like a dick.The exact opposite of what I predicted would happen happened.Cornells coach destroyed Fran Dunphy.Temple played like dopes and got run all over the gym.

All my Finals Four picks are still intact and I'm still one of 10 people in the world to have Duke in there.Ballsy.

Also Murry St. to beat Butler.

I don't keep up with this stuff but I just happened to catch some pretty interesting facts on T.V.

Like only 31% of the UK players graduated. All of the white players and only 18% of the blacks.
Only 8% of Maryland basketaball players graduated. 33% of the hites. Not a single black player graduated.
Some stats here but just wow...
