March Madness Discussion Thread

I have Cornell winning one game, Siena winning, Ga Tech and UL winning today as upsets.

Same lol.


I have Florida St. as well.





They were talking about all of the NCAA Tourny Schools Player Graduation Rates on the Radio. Maryland had like a 3% Graduation Rate, which equated to like 1 person on the entire team haha.

I believe schools like Duke were around 90%. I don't remember exactly, they did say Maryland was the only school that was anywhere near that low.

It's easy to have a high graduation rate with made-for-athlete majors.

Things not starting well for West Virginia. I really expect this to end up being a blowout in WVU's favor, but for now, being down 8-0 does not bode well...

[Mizango]

WV is looking like complete shit so far, if they keep this up this will be a blow out in Morgan States favor lol

[Stiker]

10-0 run to start the game for Morgan State...WOW

[Akiyama]

Fuck you, Big East. Fuck. You.

[Kyo]

Fuck you, Big East. Fuck. You.

For fucking truth, god dammit.

[octopus]

lol, wtf West Virginia...

[Headspace]

They lose this, I'm out of my champion in bg and 2nd place team in money

Ouch.

[Roranora]

Are you referring to the Big East failing so far? If so, yes I am aware >.>

I imagine he's referring to the fact KSU was the only school willing to give Bob Huggins a much-needed stepping stone after his DUI at Cincy, only to bolt to his alma mater after 1 year in Manhattan. Many K-State fans felt ridiculously betrayed as Huggins had stated he loved, and would never leave, Manhattan. (I think he was genuine in that and it was only West Virginia that could've pulled him away.) He did, however, bring K-State all it needed in that one year with a coaching staff loaded with east coast and AAU connections, not to mention Michael Beasley in the subsequent recruiting class.

Three years later, K-State is getting talent it's never seen, and it turns out Frank Martin (who was greatly ridiculed as a poor hire only made to keep Beasley/Walker for a year) knows how to handle a Div I program. Now if KSU would rise and knock off WVU and Huggins in the NC of all places, things would certainly have come full circle.

[Headspace]

Huggins is boss, you should feel lucky that he even walked on your campus

[Roranora]

Oh I consider myself a pretty level-headed fan, and I don't harbor much ill will towards him. People almost always have a dream of returning to their alma mater. Plus, I stated he brought us everything KSU needed, so I'm all good with his brief stay.

[Mizango]

What is the "Kobe stopper" doing these days? Gawd I hated him at Cincy.

So Bob Huggins is to Kansas State basketball as Lane Kiffin is to Tennessee football?

Oh snap lol.

[Roranora]

Except Tennessee isn't keeping its star recruits from what I can tell.. but yeah.

What's up with Bryce Brown leaving the program now too? >.>;

[Kyo]

Now WV is playing much better. Smith is scoring the ball well, also I love Lynn ELmore, hands down one of the best college basketball announcers.

[Byrd]

What's up with Bryce Brown leaving the program now too? >.>;

I didn't know that, but just looked it up. Wow. At least now he can be somebody else's clubhouse cancer, I suppose.

Amusingly enough, the two schools rumored as the most likely for him to transfer to are USC and ... Kansas State.

Shit program. Phil Failmer's stench is still all over that pathetic program.
