OT - March Madness

Kansas’ Big 12 title streak ends at 14 in a row.

Rui wins player of the year. Few wins coach of the year. Clarke wins newcomer and defensive player of the year. Perkins, Rui, Clarke, and Norvell all make the all-conference team. Not bad, eh @dash @Destroydacre ?

Those tens of thousands aren't distributed equally among post-secondary institutions and those players all take a risk in serious injury that can prevent them from future earnings for absolutely no reason.

I think NCAA basketball is going to have a big reckoning in the near future with guys going to play in Europe instead of the NCAA, if not outright going straight to the league out of high school once the NBA finally changes its current policy back to how it was when Kobe, KG and Tracy were drafted.

Nah, the developmental league is the future.

Last year's Michigan team were lucky to make it to the dance alive. This entire scenario is terrifying.

Will Wade suspended by LSU for potential payment of players.

 

[naslundfan19]

Murray State and Belmont going back and forth late. First Dance ticket on the line.

 

[naslundfan19]

Ja Morant and Murray State are the first team in the Dance.

 

[naslundfan19]

Looking like Gonzaga will get Pepperdine in Monday’s semifinal.

 

[naslundfan19]

San Diego leads BYU by 41 with 10 minutes left. Wow.

 

[naslundfan19]

San Diego beats BYU by 31. No one saw that coming.

San Diego beats BYU by 31. No one saw that coming.

I didn't see that coming, but I like the result.

 

[naslundfan19]

I didn't see that coming, but I like the result.

It was never close. And I like it, too.

 

[naslundfan19]

Gardner-Webb heads to the Dance for the first time!

 

[naslundfan19]

Bradley is Dancing! I feel obligated to root for them, depending on who they play.

 

[naslundfan19]

Liberty is going Dancing.

I'll just drop this here - My alma mater (U of Calgary Dinos) are in the national championship game against the Carleton Ravens. Let's go Dinos.

 

[dash]

Oh boy, Carleton is out to a big lead, this is going to be a blowout.

Edit: 44-23 Carleton at the half - Yikes.

 

[dash]

83 - 49 was the final. Oh well, the Dinos won it last year and finished runner-up this year, Carleton is a basketball dynasty (they've won 14 of the last 17 championships).

 

[naslundfan19]

I got it!

 

[naslundfan19]

Thank goodness.
