VT playing Florida at 12:15 today 3/19/2021 10:10:54 AM |

Not feeling good about the ACC's chances in the tournament. UVA can probably beat Ohio and FSU can beat UNCG. Florida-VT should be a good matchup -- both are close in KenPom in just about every metric. GT is out Moses Wright, and while they do still have some good players that's a tough blow.
Clemson, on the other hand, is playing a sneaky good Rutgers. Syracuse is the underdog against San Diego State. Meanwhile, UNC is playing a Wisconsin team ranked better in KenPom and has a lot of strengths which play towards UNC's weaknesses. 3/19/2021 11:33:17 AM |

seems like Cuse could always go on a run in the NCAAT with their zone...playing teams less familiar with it
but yeah, the ACC may not get a team to the s16 3/19/2021 12:15:05 PM |

Wow, the ending to this VT/Florida game has been exciting, VT came back to tie it up with a second or two left, looks like it will probably go to OT.....
Florida was up three with 7 seconds, missed two free-throws, VT came down and hit a three with 1.7 seonds left. Going to OT

Players don't need to be lifting weights at this point in the season anyways. Getting stronger alters your jump shot. They need space to stretch and run in place, which they have. If you're not in shape at this point in the season, 2 days of cardio in the bubble isn't going to help you.

After what Baylor did to a pretty good Houston team, I thought it was a little ridiculous that none of the analysts even considered picking Baylor. Barkley put it best when he said that Baylor scared him with how good they were after the Houston game. 4/5/2021 11:33:45 PM |

^^^after what happened at Baylor before Drew was hired...there wasn’t much choice but to be patient. Obviously it took him a few years to get going. But I assume he had a long leash given the situation he inherited
Quote : | " Gonzaga exposed...again. " |
Baylor dominated. From start to finish. But Gonzaga is still a great team. Not sure they were really exposed in any grand way...they obviously got dominated. But they’re still a great team putting up consistently great results (yes, even in a weak conference). They are absolutely a national title contender in most years. Saying they were “exposed” feels a bit harsh imo. 10 sweet 16s and 2 national title appearances under Few hardly screams “fraud” to me.4/6/2021 6:35:21 AM |

I think Gonzaga only got exposed in the sense of lots of the analysts were preemptively calling them among the greatest college teams ever, etc.
They are obviously a very good team, but their record was likely inflated by a weak conference and a weird year that made it difficult to find many elite teams.
It won't happen but it would be cool if Suggs stayed and they ran it back. 4/6/2021 4:40:59 PM |
