Tournament Thread 2024 March Madness Discussion

[The Q]

NC State showed up for this tournament. They were tough in every game. I see them upsetting Duke today. Actually, I want to see the battle between Purdue's Edy and NC State's DJ Burns. UConn vs Purdue for the championship.

It would be nice to not have a complete garbage coach like schyer luck into the final 4

Scheyer's a good coach. 54-17 the last two years at Duke.

[The Q]

DOWN GOES DUKE

They’re paying more next year

At some point they’ll buy enough talent that even this bozo can’t screw it up

state just stymed duke 2nd half.duke did,nt score for 10 mns.

Hurley will head to the nba at some point

I would say literally any year now if he seals the deal this year

I hope he stays at UConn for a while. He has no connection to the NBA and more often than not those CBB coaches that try to make the jump fail. He's build a great thing.

I…also would like him to stay

Very much lol


But he’s a guy who likes to jump to the next level of challenges

This is who he is


Dan hurley…the carpenter

I also think kentucky will offer him stupid money whenever cal leaves

Never thought of another school basically buying him. That could happen but hopefully not.

Don't understand.

He underachieves getting a 4 seed

The problem now is everyone can pay. They’re in the same boat as Kentucky.

does anyone honestly think bama or NC St. will be in the final? seriously.
Just think we have two classes of final four teams. don't think either of them have a chance against Uconn and Purdue.

In the last few weeks they’ve beaten a

1 seed (unc)
2 seed (Marquette)
4 seed 2x (puke)

And Texas tech, a top 25 team

I don’t think you can just throw them out at this point

Plus, burns is one of the few guys who might be able to get edey in foul trouble

 

[redskinsfan1963]

purdue/uconn should be a decent championship game

 

[TheGoodMan19]

The similarities between NC State '24 and NC State '83 are there. Both won nine straight. Both needed to win the ACC to get in to the Dance. Both were a team that few basketball fans could name a player. '83 had the three seniors, Derek Whittenberg, Thurl Bailey and Sidney Lowe. Good player but no stud. The '24 has the DJ's who were known at the beginning of March but are known now. But the teams that '83 had to go through is epic. They beat #1 (Houston), #2 (Virginia, twice), #5 (UNC) and #6 (UNLV). Ended the seasons on Clyde Drexler, Hakeem Olajuwon, Sam Perkins, Brad Daugherty, Michael Jordan, Ralph Sampson and Sidney Green.

UConn looks unbeatable... hopefully Bama can give them a good game, but think UConn will be too much.

Purdue looks beatable... Tennessee gave them a good game, Edey needs 1 bad game for them to lose. Seeing they recently lost to Badgers in BigTen tourney definitely think NC State could pull off a win.

Much like uconn, get the big guy in foul trouble

Without edey on the floor they’re…


Northwestern?

Minnesota?
