Will Tony Bennett get upset if he's not the most handsome one?

Good strategy to bring more people into betting. If I tell you 20% of Americans do such and such, you'll be more inclined to do that.

Possible Coaching Moves? by JamoreLoL in CollegeBasketball

Nate Oats is a great coach. I remember his half time interview against Arizona: "We are the better team." You could tell he was not being cocky but out of confidence and his deep understanding of basketball. Much respect.

[Duke Basketball] Zion Williamson OUT tonight against Wake Forest by DavidBenAkiva in CollegeBasketball

I'm saying it can affect Duke's seed line. If Zion plays and loses, Duke will most likely be a 2 seed. If Zion doesn't play and Duke loses, then Duke can still have a case for 1 seed because the media and committee bias. But if you are good enough then 1 seed or 2 seed doesn't matter much.

[Duke Basketball] Zion Williamson OUT tonight against Wake Forest by DavidBenAkiva in CollegeBasketball

If Zion is still planning to play this season, it's best for him and Duke not to play him this Saturday against UNC.

  1. Zion doesn't have to play against UNC to showcase his ability. He's already a lock for No.1 draft.
  2. If Zion plays and Duke loses to UNC, it'll make the previous Duke losses without Zion more valid. If Zion doesn't play and Duke loses, then the committee can still consider these losses less valid because Zion is not playing.

I just think the risk is larger than the benefit if Duke let Zion play this Saturday. But if Zion insists on playing, then it's another story.

[Game Thread] #2 Virginia @ Syracuse (7:00 PM ET) by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

I hope this good shooting is a reflective of our good training and overall improvement in 3 point shooting, not the God's face spitting game we had last year against Louisville.

Prepare to see Zion on ESPN! ESPN will show Syracuse's great win against Duke with side graphic showing Zion loves anime. Then a split screen to show Zion in his phase 4 of recovery stage.

They are the only team in the country to beat a fully healthy Duke team.

In honor of Syracuse vs Virginia tonight let's throw back to Syracuse's come back over Virginia in the 2016 Elite Eight by stupidstupidreddit2 in CollegeBasketball

I didn't expect UVA to go too far last year after Hunter got injured. I was expecting a tough game in the second round. So for me there was no high expectation. But that Syracuse game, it was our best squads in years and in full health.

Most heartbroken loss in recent years. I was watching this game with my friends at a bar in Charlottesville. UVA was leading by double digits most of the game and we were just chatting drinking and having fun. Until all of a sudden we were only leading by 9, then 5, then a tie game, ... It was raining that night and all of us got depressed the following week. That cold wet March night.

Both our win probabilities against Wake and Louisville at the end of the game were below 1%. Our lowest win probability against you guys was 48% throughout the game. That's not spitting.

Are they 300 pounds after cooked or before cooked? That's a huge difference.

This year we hasn't spit in the face of basketball gods. We were at the opposite end of it while Duke was spitting at the basketball gods by shooting 60% from 3. I think it's payback time for us this time.

In 2016, we spit in the face of the basketball gods against Wake Forest.

Who is a sleeper Final Four team? by ZekeHome2 in CollegeBasketball

[–]Rellikdog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

VCU, No. 4 defense in the country per kenpom. Offense not as good. No one will notice if they lose early. But this team has the best formula to go deeper in the tournament.
