2012 NCAA Tournament Thread

[The Young One]

Stay in school do to what, watch high volume shooters throw up 3s? He'd be better served to get coaching in the NBA. At the very least he'll make a huge impact defensively in the NBA.

Napier's shot selection is atrocious and that's being nice.

He doesn't even make a big impact defensively in college.

If he comes out this year someone will draft a bust. He has all the skill in the world, but he's missing a lot.

He's missing a lot, so you think he should stay in school where the availability of his head coach is in question constantly?

Who do you think is going to put more effort into developing his game, a team that invested a high draft pick in him, or Jim Calhoun who is on the tail end of his career just looking to win games at the college level?

Drummond is better suited for a wide open NBA style of play, not the constricted slowed down 3 point heavy college game.

The NBA isn't college. You rarely get the chance to practice. Everything is game preparation in the NBA. You'll get the occasional practice when you have multiple days between games, but that is not often.

Staying after practice and working by yourself with one coach can only do so much. And Drummond isn't better suited for anything because he has no offensive game. Everyone in the NBA can run the floor.

 

[bosoxlover12]

He's a project, no question about that.

But Boatright and Shabazz chucking the ball up every time wont help him out at all.


Lamb and Drummond are gone. Without a doubt.

Once you're out of college you don't have to worry about school anymore, your coaches will work with you whenever you want, and a full off-season in the NBA is more beneficial than college practices.

He has the talent, if he has the work ethic he'll be fine.

How much longer you think Calhoun coaches for?

 

[bosoxlover12]

If Calhoun was smart, he'd retire right now

The longer he goes on right now, the worse his legacy. Plus, we aren't winning anything next year, and unless Kuran comes here and starts owning like his cousin, we wont win the year after.

Plus Calhoun has had health issues the past few years




Its time to hang it up Calhoun

Probably the worst first day I've had in awhile.

UConn
Wichita St. (Sweet 16)
UNLV
Long Beach St. (Sweet 16)
Davidson
Montana
West Virginia

Pretty lame first day IMO. No big upsets.

 

[mutigers28]

lol texas

 

[DJT]

So far so good. 97% on my bracket. Alabama is winning, FSU should win. Henson is out, but they will still win.

 

[elcheato]

The Bonnies did not look this good when I saw them in person. I had never heard of the school actually.

Andrew Nicholson is legit though

 

[jonathanlambert33]

McAdoo got up.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Smart basketball, Bonnies.

 

[DJT]

Dang, Bama lost. Down to 95%

Dang, Bama lost. Down to 95%

There's been no upsets.

The only 12 seed or higher to win is VCU, and I think most people picked them to win anyway.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Missouri is on UPSET ALERT

 

[jonathanlambert33]

This is a hell of a game.

 

[elcheato]

The dreaded possession arrow

 

[elcheato]

The dreaded you can't advance the ball to half court
