Good to see MSU get business taken care of against Wisconsin.

Still bitter over the UF game though

Title: Re: March Madness 2012
Post by: benjipwns on March 12, 2012, 07:20:22 AM: I'll join a Bore one if one pops up but I already joined GAFs if we just do that.

Made a non-group one just to try a method out. I'm not one of those make a billion bracket guys but wanted to try something so I did a second one this year.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on March 31, 2012, 06:45:04 PM: They'll probably have the #1 and #2 draft picks taken in the draft (Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist).

And on Lou, I honestly think today's game could hurt Siva's draft place. He seems to be struggling against KY's defense, and obviously in the NBA he'll be playing against teams that resemble KY's size.

Title: Re: March Madness 2012
Post by: Phoenix Dark on April 02, 2012, 09:24:07 PM: Kentucky should win, although Kansas' experience might cause an upset. But oh man, if Calipari's team chokes in the finals again...lol

I'm not a Kentucky hater, I'm more of a Calipari hater. This is a guy who goes from program to program violating NCAA rules and nothing is done about it. In a few years he'll probably be somewhere else, just as the NCAA starts looking into transcripts and players getting paid/cars. It's inevitable. One of the worst things about the NCAA is the media's saintly portrayal of it. This guy is dirty, and has always been dirty. Let's stop with all the feel good stories and call it what it is.

Anyway...Anthony Davis is a beast. His stats don't compare to Kevin Durant's but that has nothing to do with talent - Kentucky is simply too stacked for any one player to take enough shots to match the stats of past greats like Melo or Durant. He's already a far better defender than Durant and has a better post game.
Title: Re: March Madness 2012
Post by: Phoenix Dark on April 02, 2012, 09:39:50 PM: Davis already dominating defensively

Post by: Phoenix Dark on April 02, 2012, 11:44:27 PM: Grats Kentucky-Bore

Davis had a bad night offensively, but finished with 16 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 6 blocks. He's like Ben Wallace with perimeter skills. When he plays outside the paint he often looks like Durant to me
