Underdogs 7 times to unranked teams.

DSJ showing range I didn't know he had. Dean you scoping?

I understand K State has snatched defeat from th jaws of victory repeatedly this year.

Let's see how they squander this 15 point lead at the half, away to Baylor

Are college refs taught to count slower than a second for inbounds? Been randomly watching refs all day and they all count super slow

Oregon is going off.

10 3s with 5 minutes left in the 1st

St Bonn might lose to VCU because of a storming the court technical daaaaaaamn

Melo Trimble probably returns again next season, right?

If so, Maryland is kind of low key loaded next year. Wouldnt really lose anyone that good and return their best players.

Hes very likely a second round pick but he almost left two different times so we will see. But yeah MD returns basically everyone but Dodd. (And have a good depth at center right now with Cheko waiting in the wings. )

Saw posted elsewhere but didn't confirm that UK was shortest price to win NCAAs. I was fairly shocked, even appalled. Since it says here that Coach Cal will never get another one, and have opened the window on it including during deep undefeated run a couple years ago, you can imagine how I feel about that line. As of this moment they are one last second shot from having lost 4 in a row, looking increasingly ugly. Joke of a line, imo.

Those futures are kinda slow to react imo. Found Florida yesterday for +9000 and +7500 and they closed as a 2 pt favorite vs. UK. Also seems like the futures heavily reflect casualfan takes at this point. Sort_by_wins and then eliminate with narratives:

Wow, UCLA looks unstoppable!

Gonzaga can't win it. They always choke.
02-05-2017 , 04:30 PM
offshore?
02-06-2017 , 03:39 AM
Gonzaga is really good no real weakness 8 guys that average around 10 ppg balance between upperclassmen and freshman great guards and bigs march madness is always a crapshoot but I do believe they have as good as chance as any.

If Duke beats UNC in a few days, the ACC standings will be pretty wild. I mean, it's already wild. It could get even wilder though.

Current

TEAMCONFGBOVR
North Carolina9-2-21-4
Florida State8-3120-4
Louisville7-31.519-4
Virginia7-31.517-5
Syracuse7-4215-9
Duke6-42.518-5
Notre Dame6-5317-7
Virginia Tech5-53.516-6
Miami5-53.515-7

UNC loses to Duke and all the sudden you've got NINE teams within two losses of the conference lead. Insanity. Other ACC thoughts:

* VT/Miami on wednesday is a quietly huge game for those programs. VT is pretty solidly in right now, but doesn't have a ton of room for error with UVA and LOU looming. MIA definitely on the bubble and needs wins. Winner stays relevant in the ACC chase, loser sinks.

* LOU/UVA should be a killer matchup, and crazy to think one of those teams is going to have four conference losses by tonight.

* Duke seems like the kind of team that you won't be surprised if they make it to the championships game, and you also wouldn't be that surprised if they get bounced by a 13 seed. I've given up trying to figure this team out.

* Conference has ~12 teams that could get into the dance. I've seen current brackets with 11 ACC teams in. Crazy stuff. 7 relatively safe teams with GT, Miami, Clemson, Syracuse and Wake are all dancing around the bubble right now.

* Under-noticed reason for Duke struggling - The 3pt shooting has been terrible. Duke's built itself around great shooting for most of the last decade. Right now Kennard is shooting 46% from 3pt, and nobody else on the team is above 37%. Frank Jackson is just under 37%, and Grayson and Matt Jones are at 34%. Tatum is 31%. Functionally Duke spends most of the time with only three shooters on the floor, two of whom have been really mediocre. This is not how Duke is used to playing. Grayson and Jones both shot 42% last year - if they were doing that, Duke probably has multiple extra wins right now.

Both of these teams just look ugly.

Louisville prob with more tournament upside. Virginia is gonna have a typical game where they score like 6 points in 8 minutes.
