2018 ncaa

tbf this is the point in the season where freshmen -- especially the ones playing 35 minutes a game -- hit a wall

trae young is bad and not the next xteph xurry

aww yeah baby

Sources tell @YahooSports that the breadth and depth of material in discovery in the Basketball corruption cases will alter the sport of college basketball. Hall of Fame coaches, Lottery picks and top programs are all exposed to significant sanctions. https://t.co/u8cwrw0VOZ

you can use either 'soundtrack' or 'ticking time bomb' -- if you must -- but not both

wow @ msu coming back on nwstrn

watch out for the ragin cajuns in the tourney imo

No. 13 Kansas took 35 free throws, while West Virginia took two.

I am generally suspicious of the notion that basketball players move by brownian motion, resulting in an even split of fouls. And west virginia's whole game plan is relentless press.

sure. but 35 to 2 is absurd

miami has a true freshman PG that is listed at 5' 7" which every announcer always says is "generous" ... he's really dope

does it matter?

as a michigan grad, i say we hang a banner!

just kidding

i thought the announcement would be a new coaching hire

it prob matters to the university of louisville

they have to take down a banner, but it ultimately doesn't matter--everyone remembers what happened, and there will be plenty of record of Louisville's win, even if it's not written in the official record books

sports records are perhaps less thoroughly kept and preserved than the records of our criminal courts. in this way, louisville has strengthened its legacy.

Missouri freshman Michael Porter Jr. has been fully cleared for all basketball activities, per a source.

Based on a filing obtained by @ShaunKing the NCAA defense counsel in the Poppy suit is using a prisoner exemption in the 13th amendment — which abolished slavery — to allow the NCAA to not compensate athletes by using prison labor as precedent. https://t.co/abQ0wguUym

why is miller making these calls haaa.

good pittsburgh kid, just like calipari

dont really care about any of this beyond hoping that the end result is the players get paid (legally) in the future

and of course i want coach k to go down in flames

deandre ayton looks like prime dwight howard with a jump shot when he’s trying

he looks like a giant out there

yikes oklahoma

A plan is expected to include the NBA starting relationships with elite teenagers while they are in high school, providing skills to help them develop both on and off the court. It would ultimately open an alternate path to the NBA besides playing in college and a way 18-year-olds could earn a meaningful salary either from NBA teams or as part of an enhanced option in the developmental G League, sources said.

fn about time

particularly w the g league up and running theres really no need to have college in the loop anymore, also it wld be good if the nbas involvement with high school players got to the level where it prevented guys from shooting from the wrong side of their heads

tho prob from a marketing standpoint still nothing will ever be better than a two and done rule

they will have to up the salaries pretty significantly cos you know, you could get 100k + from Arizona... vs only 26k current max g league salary.

college hoops should be for dudes that stick around for 4 years and that (at the most) have a minor shot to play overseas.

the best high school players shd just get drafted like in the garnett days but you can still give them run in the g league if theyre not ready for grown man minutes, and then yeah raise the G league salaries for non nba players/two way contract guys to compete w foreign leagues/illicit ncaa money, and regardless of competition they shd just be paying these guys a living wage

maybe tack on a year to the rookie contracts of straight out of high school players to allow teams more time to develop them idk

yeah think you would have to

uconn women are up 43-5 at the half

rude

cincy scored 0 in the 2nd period

i saw it got up to 51-8 lol how is that allowed

8-for-58 (13.8%) from the field

uconn had 55 rebounds

Cleveland State (12-22) scores 61 point in the second half to beat the #1 seed in their conference tourney then beat Oakland in semi finals 44-43. Play for the championship tonight vs Wright State. A win would put them in the NCAA tournament I think?

prob into a play-in game but yea auto bid, right?

yes! Pretty sure Wright State is going to kill them though.

functioning alcoholism is not joining twitter

btw it is absurd that the big ten and ACC had their tournaments in NYC this year (and even more absurd that the big ten went a week early because the big east is having its proper tourney at MSG now)

yay let's invite our fans to spend most of a week in a really expensive city that famously doesn't care about college sports

SHOTS

hoists

who we rooting for?

i think mish

beilein @ least seems like he wont outcoach himself this game like he did the trey burke year

If the Michigan game plan is to pound Villanova inside on offense and force them off the 3-line defensively, they're executing it well.

mich cant really execute on offense huh
that 3 was brutal

who is this divincenzo dude, he is fearless out there

yeah kid is taking over

havent watched either of these two teams any of these kids NBA lottery level?

https://www.landof10.com/big-ten/nba-mock-draft-2018-projections-first-round-top-players-ncaa-tournament-april-2

if this is anything to go by, a couple of first rounders potentially

...well besides Donte DiVincenzo who is the clear #1 overall pick

thx bison

Mikal Bridges is a prototype 3&D dude, gonna go in the late lottery. DiVincenzo will be a late first, Brunson and Wagner will go in the second
