GDT: NCAA Hoops thread

[hblueridgegal]

Please stay put Wes until it's time. I know IU and other big $ is coming your way but think of the family.

Appy state is looking like they will dancing too. Up 9 very late on number 1

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Appy St in.

UNC G and Appy state in and Duke out. Who had that?

 

[HisIceness]

Duke has been in the Tournament every year since 1994-1995 season but K was not coaching at that time because he had back problems. You have to go back to 1982-83, the year State went on their miracle run to win it all, to find the last time a K-coached team did not participate in the NCAA Tournament and the Duke boosters wanted him fired after that season. Think about that for a moment, in 1983 North Carolina had no major-league sports unless you want to count NASCAR.

Impatient Duke fans once wanted Mike Krzyzewski fired

I remember this well. STH , and a good time to be a Tarheel

While last night was a fun - some might say a therapeutic romp - not getting my hopes up for the Heels. Maybe they can be a disrupter though.

wonder if the withdrawal will cost the dookies a spot?

These kids are figuring it out. While I agree with your assessment totally , They have the ability to surprise us and reinspire their coach.

I'm glad IU's season is over.

Now comes the waiting game and if Archie finally gets the ax. Or if we must endure one more year of terrible coaching.

Unless they find another rising coach who can get more out of his players, like a tony Bennett, then IU will remain irrelevant. They have lost all appeal and aren’t doing anything to get it back.

you wouldn't do that to archie's dad, would you, indiana?

“Yeah, everyone thought NC State, but I knew that wasn’t gonna happen,” John Miller told myDayton Daily News. “He knows that place too well. You gotta have trust in the people above you that they’ll stand by you.”

(i didn't want archie at state - but his dad can still kiss my ass)

The grass isn't always greener in the land of the big boy programs.

Florida State vs Georgia Tech isn't the ACC championship game we thought would happen but it's the one we deserve.

 

[hblueridgegal]

So happy for Shaka..even if they own us. Wouldn't mind seeing them win the tourney if my team's stay is short and sweet.

Rex Champan’s take is nothing but a clap back. Texas wants championships. Shaka was definitely on the hot seat before this season. Good coach for sure but he had underperformed at Texas up until this point.

 

[hblueridgegal]

They're their own worst enemy (fans/alum) at TX in so many ways.

That is for sure. Their last bball coach was good. I think that is what made Shaka be on the hot seat, they had regressed from those competitive seasons before this season.

GT won

Congrats @Anton Dubinchuk

Thank you, but for basketball I maintained Tar Heel allegiance even after I left. I will certainly root for GT any time they aren't playing UNC, and I'm glad they won, but can't in good conscience pretend I'm a true fan.

You got your wish

Indiana fires coach Miller after 4 seasons at helm

I would love for someone to give me $10 million to "go away"

Nice to see ya old friend.

Whether we won or lost, going to tourney events has provided some of my best memories of my life with my family and friends. Such a fun, escapist experience and a great way to see the country.

Ditto for me. Got to meet and become friends with a lot of the guys and ladies over the years. Awesome experience.

My one tournament experience was here in ATL at a regional finals. Loyola was making their run so that was fun. Although the UK - kansas st game had to be one of the longest non-OT and boring games in tournament history. 800 foul calls.

 

[hockeynjune]

My longest ot game ( at least for me) won't be repeated. June 8 2002 Redwings/Hurricanes ugg, there were people asleep around me. There is even a commemorative mug yee ha

App State comeback falls just short

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

You are down one. Go to the basket. Settling for a contested three with time on the clock is mind boggling
