If I hadn't bet on WSU and the under, I'd be pretty annoyed at the way they've slowed down the UNC game to a crawl.

Indeed, it was quite a ride.

davidson has more skill than kansas... unless you count length and athleticism as a skill.
i will spare you the rant about why american basketball sucks so much... but yea. a microcosim right there.
and ironicly enough (and fucking shittily enough) a very similar ending to my state championship game last night.
CTU2fan said:I'm guessing the problem is that the basketball climate has made it an either/or discussion. There's no reason that a big athletic player can't be fundamentally sound, other than that these players aren't held accountable at any level so they never learn to play "smart" basketball.
While I don't have the problem with teams like that winning that Headache seems to (maybe because my school has some of those guys on its roster?), I can understand why people would, and why Joe Fan might choose to cheer on a team of 6'4" guys with pretty jump shots who hustle on both ends and play "smart".
How many guys do you guys see on the college level (or pro for that matter) who are both athletic specimens and fundamentally sound? There's not many (talking bigs, not wing players and guards).

Headache in a Suitcase said:i really want to see unc vs. ucla... kansas-carolina has the obvious "roy williams' anus is gonna be tighter than, um, something that's really tight" sub-plot... and i just can't get excited over the prospects of watching memphis assault the front of the rim with their awful awful shooting

With apologies to U2Me3: F*ck tOSU.
