So wait. Brule cares about college basketball again? He was pretty invisible here for awhile.

It's been a boring season. Kentucky is far and away the best team, the regular season is pointless anyway and now the tourney is here.

 

[holden]

Um, Self took Tulsa to the Elite 8. And Illinois. Do those places recruit themselves?

Wake me up when Hoiberg makes it past the Sweet 16. What an asinine argument.

 

[holden]

2 final 4 appearances in 12 years

5 losses in the 1st or 2nd round (3 times in the last 6 years) LOL

Hoiberg has lost in the first or second round 3 of the past 4 years.

This is one of your worst arguments ever.

Hoiberg needs to get somewhere before people anoint him a good coach.

Kansas has 50 times the talent of ISU

 

[holden]

Who got that talent there? Is recruiting not a part of coaching?

How much easier is it to recruit at Kansas than Iowa State?

Reports out that John Calipari wants to go back to the NBA.

 

[holden]

Again, he took Tulsa to the Elite 8 in his third season there. How much easier is it to recruit at Iowa State vs Tulsa? This argument holds zero water. Just give it up.

 

[holden]

Reports out that John Calipari wants to go back to the NBA.

Last year it was a done deal he was going to coach the Lakers.

And the Cavs offered him $80 million.

Doesn't mean he won't go. But "reports" are reports. The way the media (and the rest of the country) desperately wants Kentucky to lose is awesome.

Certainly a good accomplishment. He's also had many years where he underachieved.

2005 lost to 14 seed
2006 lost to 13 seed
2010 lost to 9 seed
2011 lost to 11 seed
2015 lost to 7 seed

Because the nation knows he's as crooked as they come. The hatred he has he brought on himself for being a shady snake.

Dook's lost in the 1st round 3 times, and many other early losses, this is a stupid argument and you know it.

Self is a fantastic coach.

 

[Heyward]

With Meeks, hobbled and clearly limited, cant see anyway UNC wins tonight.

Especially since they get Jackson back tonight as well.

Wiscy 81

UNC 64

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Marcus Paige has to take this game over. Only chance for the Roys.

Self does less with more than a lot of other coaches.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Wichita State has come back and taken the lead over Notre Dame. UNC-Floppers is very good through one halve.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Notre Dame can flat out shoot
