I don’t like Hurley- they’re too close to the dook program.

I think this Miami team is very likeable

Texas must have felt like us vs. Syracuse in the Elite 8

Didn’t Wong try to renegotiate his deal? Cough. Cough.
Agreed. We’re not choosing to do that method of recruiting and roster construction, and that’s totally fine. But I have no issue with them doing that. I like how they all got “theirs” but when they’re on the court they play together and really want to win.

You should have just come over to my house and kicked me in the nuts instead of bringing that up.

Too soon.
Does SDSU still play the packline? If so, I’m rooting for them so that the pacists go crazy again (pace of play in the bottom third of D1 ball).

That’s how I feel too. They already have 4 championships, the last 2 of which came in (1) a similarly chaotic tournament in 2011 and (2) what is considered the flukiest title run in the Kenpom era in 2014

Also, no teams from Big 12 or Big 10. The “elite”conferences this year, with the “elite” teams. So much for predictive analytics…

I’m not a big Danny Hurley fan, but he’s a Jersey kid, not a Dukie. Much less recruited than his bro, went to Seton Hall, wasn’t even that great. No Duke taint on Danny, IMO.

I would almost say Danny, in college at Hall, was very much an opposite of any Duke player
I thought he was pretty good

Just looked up his stats. Yeah, later in his career, he was better than I remember.

If Miami wins, does Larranaga have to let John Ruiz put the “Miami” sticker in the big bracket while CBS plays one shining moment?

Isaiah Wong wasn’t? He was a 5 star right?
Low-to-mid 4-star.

I’m getting bitter. Miami has always been a slimy program that caters to unprincipled big money boosters. I want to be in the BIG.
Actually Miami does not have a ‘crap’ following. They are a smaller private school therefore their following is smaller but they are also very dedicated. They have a nice homecourt advantage and brought a good crowd tonight. So you are off on this one. BC has a crap following …
