Hell yeah NC State. What a day to have your women's and then men's basketball teams go to the FF

[Pete]

God damn that kid is about to be a legend

[catastrophe]

below .500 in conference and about to go 9-0 in postseason elimination games.  ridiculous.

Could’ve been us.

Seriously, though, that’s what makes it madness. Takes a threshold of skill but luck is the determining factor.

[wetwillie]

The key is having a fat big and Reed gives us that

[BIG APPLE CAT]

I would have gotten grounded so hard

[MakeItRain]

Yeah they're going to make that kid a legend and some of the same people will be calling Angel Reese a thug tomorrow night.

Also, Edey and Burns are disproving my theory that dominant guards are far more important than bigs for making a big run in the Tourney.

If we are about to see a revival of the traditional 1-5 basketball, I am all for it.

[LickNeckey]

KU played through their center...

[LickNeckey]

Seriously tho

the nba's disregard for the traditional "center" position should theoretically create the opportunity for a bit of a golden age of the position at the collegiate level

[cfbandyman]

Also this year has hard kind of a fall off in hot shooting 3 ball teams. So having a big who can get buckets has proven even more a need. So I wonder if like Villanova's 2018 team would've done in this tourny trading 3s for 2s

That 2018 team was so fun to watch. The most impressive CBB team I've seen.

you lost me when you dropped “traditional” into your statement but the last three nba mvp’s were all centers

[nicname]

Until the NBA can find use for dudes that can’t close out on the 3-pt line and can’t guard NBA stretch 4s and 3s, and until CBB can force that to be a necessity, there will be a valuable and lucrative (with NiL) role for these dudes in cbb.

do you think Edy gets drafted?


my point is centered around the idea that guys like Tshiebwe and Timme going undrafted represents a shift in NBA player valuation

[nicname]

I’ve seen anywhere from fringe lottery (no. 12 pick) to early 2nd rd for Edey.

Does this hinge on whether he gets a shave and a haircut?

[Pete]

This Iowa LSU game is fun and high paced. Though, I find the LSU fake eyelashes to be almost as stupid football players with elaborate eye black makeup.

of course Edy will get drafted. 

the average amount of athleticism at every position has increased due to a number of reasons, centers aren’t excluded from that.  look at wemby, the position and the game evolves with the players.

What’s the point of one legged tights? Is it just fashion?

i love that the girls get their glow on for the games, why not?  they make it look easy.  we have some eyelash girls on our team too!


and yes, i’ve been looking forward to this game since the bracket was announced.  as good as both of these teams are, south carolina is even better.  try to catch them this year.

[pissclams]

i really like hailey van lith, even though she’s an adidas athlete

[catastrophe]

Yeah I barely watch women’s bball but this game has been thoroughly entertaining
