Ohio giving UNC all they can handle right now. Just took the lead with 5 to go.

UNC gets every call, bounce, and break possible and still needs ot to win. I hope they are proud of themselves. Good effort out of the Bobcats.

Kentucky is just stupid talented. IU is also stacked for the foreseeable future.

Agreed on both. So is Syracuse. It was so obvious that Syracuse was more athletic than Wisconsin at every position. Classic scenario where the well regarded underdog (Wisconsin) had to play flawlessly in order to win, whereas Syracase had more talent and could afford to make mistakes and still win. Very similar to some Iowa vs. Ohio State showdowns in football a few years ago when both teams were ranked.

Watching last night was also a reminder that it was no fluke we got our a$$es handed to us by Ohio. That's a damn good team. They have to easily be the best team produced by the MAC in years. The MVC is head and shoulders above the MAC as a basketball league, but I would've loved to have added Ohio for one year

Even though I don't care much more Kansas, there is something satisfying about seeing Barnes miss the final 4 again.

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

Say what you want about the McDermotts...(Believe me I've said a lot... )

But Doug is a far better college player than Barnes and it is not really close.... IMO

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

I could name a lot of college players who are better than Barnes right now. I haven't watched him very much this year, but what I have seen has been far from impressive.

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

Barnes is a very good basketball player, but he was/is incredibly overrated.

And Ohio doesn't have any seniors (or maybe one, not sure).

I'm sure he is, I'm just shocked by how unimpressed I've been whenever I've seen him played. Granted it is a small simple size. During the regular season I'm one who'd rather watch a MVC/Horizon/Colonial/other midmajors than UNC.

I've always hated watching UNC and am not sure why. That and SEC basketball

He doesn't seem very quick or overly skilled at handling the ball. I don't see him being a great pro for those reasons, unless he improves.

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

his lack of athleticism is already being exposed. he's mike miller at the next level.

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

I think Barnes is a plenty good enough athlete, it’s just that his ballhandling skills really limit his ability on the offensive end. He absolutely cannot get to the rim, and he doesn’t have post moves, so he is a really tall jumpshooter basically.
