Figured we are getting close to end of the season. Time we start talking about cbb. 


1) Are we doing Pick ‘Em again?


2) what do you guys think about Peterson at Kansas. 


He seems to be either soft or has someone telling him to take it easy and manage his workload. As an NBA team and how loaded this draft is I’m not sure I could take him number 1. 


3) Ohio State - will they make the tournament and should Diebler be gone.


I’ve watched a lot of them this year and this team plays exactly like they did with Holtmann the last 5 mins of games. Diebler does seem to be recruiting well but Ohio State is in a much better place if they had hired Dusty May or Calapari. If we miss the tournament again I think I start looking for a new doach

This is the least I’ve watched h college basketball since about 1982


The Ohio State loss to Pitt looks awful


Miami is a great story

They should just let kids come out of high school again. As far as the Kansas situation.

Agreed especially with letting guys have 6th and 7 years

Feel like I’ve watched a decent amount of college basketball this year. 

The Peterson thing is bizarre. But so is Kansas getting killed today at home by a bad Cincinnati team. 

-Michigan is very good. 

- I’m sick of Mick Cronin. Guy is a miserable fuck and I hope he gets fired and goes away. 

-I hope Miami gets in regardless of how the end of the season pans out for them

#1 - YES. I need to start that thread (and if anyone wants to start texting folks that would be appreciated).

(Team trailing by 3 has possession with >10 seconds left)

Announcers, every time: you don’t need a three here if you can get something quick and easy!

I’m more annoyed at the team who is down 2 and settles for a bad 3

That’s a good one. 

I’ve said this before but probably my least favorite thing in sports is a team trailing 2-3 points and has to inbound and go length of the court in <5 seconds. Instead they throw a full court pass that ends up being a turnover.

If you can get a 2 with 7-8 seconds left, I actually DO agree with this. College kids just miss too many FTs, so very good chance you end up down 2 or maybe even 1 with 6 seconds and the ball.


But yeah, most of the time they are scoring with like 3-4 seconds and its stupid. Take the 3.

Side note, we have a few openings on the NCAA Pick-'Em this year if anyone wants to join. Few guys wont be around the first few days of drafting...
