Guard Dog Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) A Final Four missing UC Davis is categorically unacceptable. The Midwest bracket is the weakest. If they can win their way in and somehow get by Kansas it's not impossible. There is a Cinderella every year that captures everyone's attention. At lease until the clock strikes midnight in the sweet 16. I think it will be Middle Tennessee State this year but you never know.

Guard Dog Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 UC Davis won a place at the table. Your impossible dream is still alive. Of course now they have to beat Kansas. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Guard Dog Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 After day 1 I'm still in good shape. Not perfect but still OK. What did I tell you guys about Middle Tennessee State. My other upset, FGCU over Florida State didn't work so well though. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Keyrock Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) You know, Russ is going to win the MVP, and deservedly so, since the guy is averaging a motherf*****g triple double, something that hasn't been done in over 55 years! That said, my boy Isaiah started going ballistic partway into the season. At first, it seemed like a flash in the pan, a passing trend, then, a couple months later, my man is still dropping 30 regularly, and at a good percentage. You can't even compare it to Jeremy Lin's ridiculous hot streak, which lasted about 10 games, or Iverson's insane season, which had lower efficiency. What Isaiah has been doing for the last 3 months or so is ridiculous. Dude is flat out unstoppable on offense.

Leferd Posted March 18, 2017 Author Posted March 18, 2017 The dream has died Leferd. They were up 8-5. It was glorious. ... There's been precedent for averaging a Triple Double over the course of a full season and coming in third in the MVP race (The Big O: 30.8/12.5/11.4) Hell, that same year, Wilt Chamberlain averaged 50.4 pts and 25.7 reb and came in second. My offficial non-binding votes: MVP 1. Harden 2. Kawhi 3. LeBron 4. Russy 5. Isaiah DPOY: 1. Draymond 2. Kawhi 3.

Gromnir Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Doctor of Education Doctor it does make one wonder. am recalling shaq's undergrad degree were one o' those "general studies" degrees popular with athletes. the mba were university of phoenix, yes? the doctorate http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/shaquille-oneal-barry-university-student-is-not-actually-doing-a-dissertation-6528603 am not certain shaq ever took education serious, which makes the doctorate in education kinda ironic.

Hurlshort Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I'm pretty convinced Kyrie Irving is just helping get better rating for his buddy's podcast.
Leferd Posted March 24, 2017 Author Posted March 24, 2017 He went to Duke and plays for the Cavaliers. Proof enough for me that Kyrie Irving is the Governor-General of Flat Earth Island.
