Simmons is so full of himself. He himself said he was better than Hield. I'm glad the Wolfpack held him to his lowest point total of the season.

Cool mid-major conference title game on ESPN. Two bid league.

I think A&M will probably win it though..

3/13/2016 1:49:22 PM

Sparty got robbed. UVa should be a #2 IMO

3/13/2016 5:54:01 PM

This is a fucking abortion. Christ...

3/13/2016 6:08:39 PM

the west is so incredibly weak and the south is so incredibly strong. kansas got screwed hard.

3/13/2016 6:14:51 PM

Agreed. Kansas bracket is significantly stronger than the West. Oklahoma is the best team in that bracket IMO.

3/13/2016 6:16:09 PM

Go Archie! Gonna take out Cuse again...

[Edited on March 13, 2016 at 6:18 PM. Reason : Duke as a four seems high but Baylor is tough matchup]

3/13/2016 6:18:24 PM

UNC with easiest sweet 16 path in history? Lol at the committee trying to setup at Kentucky-UNC sweet 16 matchup. The cheater championship.

3/13/2016 6:35:32 PM

providence is tough and kentucky/indiana is bananas. oregon has it easy.

3/13/2016 6:39:26 PM

Kris Dunn is sick. Type of player that can win a game by himself.

3/13/2016 6:50:11 PM

Don't Fucking care. We're not in it. God Damn it hope UNC don't win it

3/13/2016 7:20:41 PM

I'd be livid if I were a UVA fan

3/13/2016 7:34:10 PM

just wanted to point out this gem from early on in this thread:

Oregon 1 seed? Yeah, they wont see the 2nd weekend

3/13/2016 8:00:02 PM

except they got the easiest half bracket ever.

3/13/2016 8:02:04 PM

We are all dayton fans

3/13/2016 11:14:41 PM

If Archie takes fucking Dayton deep in the tourney this year, I'll be convinced he is good. I don't have anything against Archie at all, just get annoyed at the people who think he'll definitely have great success in a P5 conference, let alone at NC State (Shit).

3/13/2016 11:21:55 PM

i dont think anyone is saying he would have great success at a p5. They are just saying theres a chance and no matter what happens with dayton, we'll never really know until he actually gets a position and coaches for about 5 years.

3/13/2016 11:27:19 PM

Well of course we'll never know until it happens. But there are in fact people, on this very messageboard, who think he'd be the answer and an instant cure to our team. Maybe he would, maybe he wouldn't.

He was in my ST-311 class, always seemed like a down to earth, good dude, to me. Just have my questions about if he will be able to recruit. And if he isn't able to pull in Gottfried-level talent on a scout/rivals *star level, is his coaching ability with less-than-Gott talent better than Gott's possible lesser coaching ability, but with more talented players.

Will be keeping an eye on Dayton in the tourney for sure, though. Hope he doesn't take an L to the Orange though.

[Edited on March 13, 2016 at 11:53 PM. Reason : less than symbol messed up html]

3/13/2016 11:52:15 PM

if he wins too much then someone better will take him.

3/13/2016 11:53:42 PM

Well whether you like it or not, his resume and highest achievements are on-par with or just below Gott's. Both have 1 Elite 8. Gott, however, took a team to #1 in the regular season poll for a little while, for whatever the hell that is worth.

What Gott has also done is given us as much post season success as we've had as a school in the last 2-3 decades, though this year was certainly a bad one. I'm sure if Archie has a good run this tourney, he'll get plenty of interest. But we're not gonna can a guy for 1 bad year when the first 4 were fine. Thankfully we're not the Cleveland Browns when it comes to how often we hire and fire coaches.

And I think there is some overlap in the Archie/Doeren camp. And if you are an NC State fan, it should be natural to be skeptical of a non-P5 coach with the way our football team has been recently

[Edited on March 13, 2016 at 11:58 PM. Reason : .]

3/13/2016 11:57:43 PM

Archie is already a much better game coach. That is basically not even a contest.

I agree with you about recruiting and program management questions though.

3/14/2016 7:44:00 AM

Just really delved in to bracket. Des Moines is absurd with the history of teams there. Kansas, of all teams, has fourth most national titles of teams there.

3/14/2016 7:51:51 AM

Cheering for UNC, Duke and Maryland to lose ASAP

Other than that, I have no interest

3/14/2016 8:07:39 AM

I could win in the A-10. That conference is hot garbage.

3/14/2016 8:43:32 AM

not a great week for CBS with the 2 hour selection show and this awful new scoreboard graphic

LOL, Grayson Allen sucks at basketball.

We really gotta stop pretending otherwise.

3/17/2016 12:33:11 PM

The selection show being longer than 30 minutes is ridiculous.

3/17/2016 12:35:06 PM

Go Seahawks?

3/17/2016 12:56:03 PM

Yes!

He would be an instant improvement over Gottfried with no doubt in my mind. Gott is 52. Archie is 37. Lol at comparing their career accomplishments. Hopefully we are not all crying when Archie is winning at Indiana or whoever scoops him up.

3/17/2016 1:25:00 PM

Meh, refs kept Duke in the game in the 1st half, but talent took over the game in the 2nd half.

UNCW should have known they were done when Duke played about as bad as they could in the first half and were only down by 3.

3/17/2016 2:18:06 PM

lol Allen

3/17/2016 2:33:03 PM

So Tyler Lewis got a big ole DNP today for Butler. Glad that transfer worked out so well for him

3/17/2016 3:07:14 PM

fucking hell colorado, here I was thinking I was smart for going against the grain here and then you pull the rug out from underneath me.

3/17/2016 3:19:51 PM

He played. Just not very much, nor was he effective with the time he got

3/17/2016 3:20:30 PM

King Karl is going to strike Purvis down.

3/17/2016 3:38:52 PM

^^ my mistake. I caught some of the game on the radio and saw the box score.

3/17/2016 3:40:21 PM

nobody Baylors like Baylor

3/17/2016 5:16:53 PM

and now we have a white privilege super bowl game

3/17/2016 5:35:40 PM

^doesnt get white privilege and isnt funny

3/17/2016 5:57:03 PM

Curse of the 5 seed

3/17/2016 7:32:30 PM

Tyler Lewis definitely played. I saw him on the court in the first half.

[Edited on March 17, 2016 at 8:17 PM. Reason : I see that was already corrected]

3/17/2016 8:17:17 PM

Refs taking this UNC game over.

3/17/2016 8:54:24 PM

think i saw on twitter where Lewis hasn't played more than 10 mins in the last, like, 4 games. i'm too lazy to look it up

3/17/2016 8:57:47 PM

LOL

3/17/2016 9:22:28 PM

So I guess they're no longer referring to the round of 64 as the "second round"? TV has been saying "first round" today.

3/17/2016 9:48:46 PM

Yeah, they changed that officially back this year

3/17/2016 9:50:10 PM

I think Miami is gonna go to at least the elite 8 this year. however it seems like their success is directly tied to angel rodriguez. pretty much everytime he's had a bad night, was one of their few losses. but the guy is a great floor general and can drive the lane well.
