NCAA Dance Thread

This Nova team likely doesn't have a single NBA player.  JW is that good.

Nova caught them on their worst day and still barely taking care of business.

Yet they are in the Final Four. So who cares.

Jay Wright is a God

It kind of underscores how down college basketball is.

Rothstein tweeted that Moore has been diagnosed with a lower leg injury.


One of the more insightful tweets of all time.

Hey, they're a Fortune 500 company.  Please buy the shirt

I disagree, Muggs. IMHO Samuels has a great shot at the NBA. Daniels and Moore definitely will be considered. All intelligent, hard-working guys with good size who embrace defense and can hit 3s. And I wouldn't be surprised if Gillespie sticks too.

Fookin' Williams is a monster for da Dookies, aina?

I disagree.  There's a chance Gillespie can find a spot.

Honestly, for him. That might be one of his better ones.

2 3-pointers for Duke in a half where they score 45, lord have mercy

LOL.

"Great" coaches win because they have better players. Period.

Bill Fitch averaged <35 wins a year in 9 years in the NBA - until he was hired by Boston. In 4 years there, he averaged >60 wins. He did not become a great coach by moving to another city - he just got a team that drafted Larry Bird.


Does anyone here think Pops or Phil Jackson would have all those rings if they coached the Sacramento Kings?

Of course they were excellent coaches - but great players are way more important than great coaches. Eric Spoelstra may be the best in the NBA today - but is he good enough to win a title when JFB is his best player?

Coach K always has the best players. He should be winning lots of titles.

How was Duke before K got there? Did he just bring in the top talent in the country year one?

Come on. He's the best coach in modern college basketball history. It's not even close. Jim Larranaga better than K? LOL!

There is zero chance I'm taking Holmgren over Banchero if I'm an NBA GM.

Duke was in the national championship game a couple years before he got there and were in multiple final fours in the 60s. They weren't elite but they weren't some bottom feeder program.

But yeah I have no idea why anyone thinks Larranega is better than K.

[4everwarriors]

Probably cuz he cusses less, hey?

[MuggsyB]

This game looks over.

At the end of the day you have to be able to get buckets.

I've been saying this for 7 weeks. I think Holmgren goes 4th.

[wadesworld]

I think he should. But I don't see him falling past 2.

[MuggsyB]

I think he should. But I don't see him falling past 2.

The question really is whether he can gain weight and strength while keeping his overall skills?   I think it's 45/55.

November I would have taken chet. Banchero has really improved since then, he's the clear #1 now. Let's be honest tho, he'd be nothing without all those Theo screens and clear outs

[MU82]

The beautiful thing is we'll get to find out.

[JWags85]

Arcidicano was a better shooter than Gillespie and a bit more athletic and barely stuck with a bad Bulls team. I'd be surprised if Gillespie does.  Incredible college player but he won't be backing anyone down in the NBA like he loves to

[Uncle Rico]

Very happy for Theo John
