NCAA Tournament 2015

[MU82]

I have to laugh at #4.

"It's important to remember that the NBA is superior to college basketball in every single way."  (This is intentional irony on the author's part.)

Right.  Everyone knows that.  Just like everyone knows the NFL is better than college football.  But that doesn't mean its any more fun.

No one skips work to watch the first two days of the NBA playoffs.  No one does NBA playoff brackets.  No one sits around to watch an orgy of NBA basketball on three different channels for 12 hours a day on a weekend.

When the tournament is over, the NBA playoffs start and the pro game gets its time.  And I *like* the NBA playoffs.  But NBA fans need to stop being snobs.

Great points, Sultan.

It seems the level of play in this year's tournament is especially bad, especially the offensive execution and shot-making. It obviously pales in comparison to what the pros do night-in and night-out -- and especially in the playoffs. But that's why they're pros. Pro actors are better than college theater. Pro violinists generally are better than college violinists. Professional novelists are better than creative writing students. Etc. It doesn't mean collegiate actors, violinists and writers are garbage.

March Madness is an institution ... and at this time of the year, lots of us need to be institutionalized!

A couple random observations

1. I don't like what adidas has done to brand themselves on some classic uni's
2. I always thought Webber shaved his head because he had male pattern baldness
3. I thought Wichita State - ND would be a better game
4. I thought UW - UNC would be worse

ND played great as a team while WSU kept chucking up threes.  Cotton and Bakker 4 for 20.
First Elite Eight for ND since 1979, despise ND but good for Brey after loss of Mom.  Enjoy win cause Kentucky next.

Marshal to Bama probable now.

Krystkowiak vs Krzyzewski -- longest last name coach matchup (21 letters) this season. Ties Marquette's Wojciechowski vs 3 opponents

McDermott comes to mind, wonder if he counts for one or two.

Kevin Looney isn't very impressive playing in the UCLA loss to Gonzaga.  He just doesn't do much.

Uhhh....a starting Frosh. When was the last frosh we had that was 6' 9" that did not do that much???????

Still managed 8 rebounds. Likely his last game anyway, and he'll definitely be cashing NBA paychecks. Great rebounder that could be a very good player if he refines his offensive game. Pretty good 3-point shooter too (41.6%).

Arizona 1 pt favorite tonight.

Interdasting.
