Official 2016 NCAA Basketball Thread

[4barrel]

I didn't see a 2016-2017 NCAA Basketball thread. Thought I'd start one.

1) I'm a Louisville Cardinal fan. GO CARDS!

2) The ACC is LOADED!

Shameless bump of my own thread.

Louisville starts the regular season tonight against Evansville. Sure it's a weak opponent, but most teams open with a tune up game.

Go Flyers!

Should be top 20 for sure.

UCONN is 0-2. Started out ranked in the top 20. WTF?

 

[VNOMIS]

The Horns are young but talented. Should be a decent year but with growing pains. HOOK'EM!

Love college basketball. I am not too sure what to expect from osu this year. My best guess is 5th or 6th in the B1G.
To 4Barrel, when isn't the ACC loaded in basketball?!

 

[4barrel]

Pretty much every year. Currently have 4 top 10 teams.

How is Grayson Allen still allowed to play? 3 trips and now he's pushed an assistant coach from FSU. FSU assistant took the high road but Allen without a doubt pushed him.

Hopefully they improve throughout the year. Their youth is a big hindrance for them right now.

I can't believe how well FSU has played this year. Especially with Hamilton still the head coach. Insane how good Jonathan Isaac is. And this stretch of 6 games we are playing is the hardest is the 80's. 6 top 25 teams and can't believe we are 4-1. Louisville on Saturday to finish it off. Most of us fans thought 3-3 was a reach.

UK looking GOOD. I have to say officially though, Pitino is a better COACH than Calipari. If he were just as good a recruiter as Cal, we'd have a big problem on our hands. It's hard enough to beat Louisville as it is.

I would LOVE to see UK surpass UCLA in total national championships, but I thought NCLA was going to stay irrelevant forever and here they are back at near the top. Shit...

 

[Sinister04L]

Bracket is set. I have to say I think we're better than a 7th seed after the way we've been playing but oh well.

You know the sports forum is about dead when March Madness doesn't get any talk going...

 

[Famine]

Arkansas should have had it and go gamecocks!

 

[Branhammer]

Looks like the ACC wasn't as strong as I thought. If UK can beat UCLA, I think they might have this. GO CATS!

UK played like ****ing retards tonight. Yeah there were some bad calls but they had their heads up their asses for 90% of the game. How it was only a 2-point loss is beyond me. I give them zero credit for the 10% of the game they managed to wrench their heads out of their assholes. And these ****ing children think they should be paid...what a joke.

My fellow UK fans in fb are telling me I should be proud and they just had a "bad night." Bull shit. I have expectations of "elite teams." You don't get to have a bad night at any point beyond the Sweet 16.
