**NCAA Basketball Thread**

[kydmb99]

I often wonder what it's like to have your best players return for another year...

[thebridge15]

still have not fully processed my feelings after monday night. I was resigned to just being outplayed when we were down ten, not so much after what came next. I can't believe that's how this season ended. it'll replay in my head forever.

happy for villanova. wright and their players seem like good people and they beat our ass in a lot of facets of that game.

will be tough starting next season without most of the players that made this team special. this loss was even harder knowing we wouldn't see brice, marcus, joel, and a few other guys play for carolina again.

christ this is so typical of a response (and especially from you), and practically the epitome of using a sledgehammer to kill a fly. Congratulations for immediately going to the total extreme as a rebuttal for an argument.

First of all, I was CLEARLY openly asking a question, conceding this is an area in which I barely know anything at all. That while yes, Philly is my "home city", I'm not some hardcore Villanova fan who felt this burn down to the very core of my soul. It seemed initially to me it might be a little odd, so I politely asked the opinion of others who were more familiar with the landscape. I did not know this was a practice that's done every single year.

but yea, "nobody talk about any other single team until next November"... yes, clearly that is exactly what I was suggesting
This is far more telling of being suspect of being overly defensive than anything I said.

This might be the best video I've ever watched

You should probably watch more videos.

[YouNeverKnow25]

No he is right. State fans truly measure all their success/happiness/station in life via what Carolina has done. They don't care at all about their actual team.

[thebridge15]

I'm not sure if philly or raleigh were more thrilled by the jenkins shot

Still a very boring ass video.

NC State

[SmoothD41]

Pumped to see Bryant returning. IU should be really good again next season.

(Married) Coach of LA Tech woman's basketball team resigns after impregnating a player

Now that will boost interest in the woman's game much more than UConn

Yep, but this is a story no matter whom it is.

[SmoothG]

Pastner to ga tech. As an arizona fan id like to see him do well but kind of wish he went to a big name school to be an assistant coach and lead recruiter and get some experience under a quality head coach at a legit program. Probably took the opportunity before he had a chance to get fired. Oh well, hope hedoes well.

I think he'll do fine, especially now with easy access to the Atlanta recruiting hot bed.

Russell Athletic though

Probably, but it was still great. LOL @ rushing the court on a tying shot

Well., thats not true at all. We all know that our team sucked this year. Actually, they were pretty good basketball players, but had shitty clock management skills that cost them dearly. Oh well. I take satisfaction in the fact that unc breaks all of the rules and still can't get it done. Quote me on it, that wont be the only tile UNC loses in 2016.

Thornton transferring. Not a huge shock, kind of wonder why, though, outside of minute concerns.

Uh... minutes concerns are kind of a big deal to kids.

She's a lot better looking than I was expecting.

He shouldn't have really had them. He'd be the starting point guard. This opens up a scholarship for Bolden, though.

[robthomas]

Correlation doesn't necessarily imply causation...... but damn how many players have left that school? How many highly rated high school players?

This probably answers why, Rodey

A guy claiming to be Thornton's uncle is letting his feelings be known via twitter. Gotta love social media.

What a joke

Thornton played a lot and had every opportunity to showcase his abilities. I think he's going to be a good player, but his decision-making was terrible.
