GDT: 2017/18 NCAA Basketball discussion

three more top recruits nc state can beat

 

[HisIceness]

Guess Zion Williamson didn't want to stay in South Carolina then.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Still betting they won't win the title. Thankfully it seems more and more veteran teams are doing better.

Bold strategy to bet the field.

Al Freeman had a game today. Also happy for Markell and the game he had after the bs he had to deal with this season

 

[HisIceness]

This NC State team plays a lot harder than the team they had last year. And thats without an NBA lottery PG in the lineup.

sad unc fans are one of gods finest creations

WVU spanking UK right now

While perhaps true, coming from a State fan (I think you’re a State fan?).....that’s a little rich.

This Wolfpack team, while they do have their letdowns, surely play more as a team than the last few years of Gottfried-ball.

 

[HisIceness]

What the f*** West Virginia?

 

[Unsustainable]

What the **** West Virginia?

No shit, we dominate then fall asleep in the 2nd

 

[NotOpie]

Speaking of falling asleep, as a long time UVA fan, that winning ugly thing is most beautiful.

yeah

 

[JCLA]

Was able to go to that state unc game and it was awesome

 

[RodTheBawd]

Can this team be kept out of the tourny? Of course winning 5 of the next 7 would be a guarantee, I just think having a team that can beat anyone is exactly what the NCAA should be looking for (granted, they can lose to anyone as well).

 

[the halleJOKEL]

nobody ever said we weren't exciting

 

[DaveG]

No ****, we dominate then fall asleep in the 2nd

What the **** West Virginia?

No shit, this team has suddenly gone from national title contender to "are they going to get it back together?" I just don't get this shit right now.

 

[Unsustainable]

No ****, this team has suddenly gone from national title contender to "are they going to get it back together?" I just don't get this **** right now.

4 of the 5 losses are 2nd half breakdowns

 

[DaveG]

Yeah definitely. Don't get me wrong, I can chalk the KU game up to Big 12 refs gonna Big 12 ref, but the other 3 blown 2nd half leads are just inexplicable, especially this latest one against a Kentucky team that was getting bitchslapped in the first half.

 

[JCLA]

Joe Lunardi has UNC as the 4 seed and NC State as the 12 seed.

UNC is 16-6.
UNC is 2-5 vs top 25 teams *at the time of contest*

NC State is 15-7
NC State is 4-2 vs Top 25 teams *at the time of contest*

My point of this argument is, how the f*** is UNC a #4 seed right now? Other than the fact that they are UNC

 

[DaveG]

You just answered your own question there.

 

[RodTheBawd]

I've vomited 3 times typing this, but I don't think it's unfair to say that State has overachieved a bit and UNC has underachieved, and I suspect they'll both regress to the mean, if you will, as the season plays out.

UNC is 16-6, 10th in RPI, 4th in SOS, and 4-2 vs. teams currently top 25.

State is 15-7, 59th in RPI , 79th in SOS, and vs. 4-4 teams currently top 25.

It's pretty easy to see why as long as we aren't being bias.

 

[Buenos Necas]

but it's fun being bias
