I don't know but Alabama is a pretty damned good team except they play in a real conference.You could say the same about Gonzaga though. How do they dominate UCLA, Texas Tech and Texas, then get rolled by Alabama and St Mary’s?

Duke confuses the hell out of me. How do they beat Gonzaga and Kentucky in OOC and then underperform in a terrible ACC?
1. Show me where UK/Cal has been charged. Was it 10K or 200K? I can't keep up.The rebuttal is that Nike obviously pays too. As their former execs admit. And have even discussed in specific terms regarding Davis.
Burying your head while pointing the finger at everybody else is really childish. But we’ve come to expect it from you Rupp Rafter types.
Yeah there is a reason dipshit. The NCAA was getting hammered and they need a big program to try to slap. Who gives a shit what the NCAA thinks. Does that mean it's proof you idiot? Did you even follow the FBI trials 😂 show me where the FBI found anything with self? Anything...? That's what I thought. Matter of fact, it was the opposite. They were deemed a victim because people were doing stuff intentionally so ku wouldn't mind out. Kind of debunks your theory huh. If you think the "NCAA" is the end all be all authority and has the competence to do anything right then you're as dumb as you sound.There’s a reason that bitch got smacked with 5 Level 1’s. If you think that’s going away you’re as dumb as I thought you were. And again, show me where the FBI or the NCAA has found anything on UK while Cal has been there. I’ll wait…numbnuts
Just because they haven't been "charged" doesn't change the fact it happened. You have Nike execs telling of specific payments to specific players with timelines and everything. It happened. Cal has been caught everywhere he went. You think it stopped happening when he started to recruit higher profile players 😂1. Show me where UK/Cal has been charged. Was it 10K or 200K? I can't keep up.
2. I didn't point the finger, the NCAA did. ( burn on the Rupp Rafter comment; I'm banned over there)
Prove it. Or shut the fvck up.Yeah there is a reason dipshit. The NCAA was getting hammered and they need a big program to try to slap. Who gives a shit what the NCAA thinks. Does that mean it's proof you idiot? Did you even follow the FBI trials 😂 show me where the FBI found anything with self? Anything...? That's what I thought. Matter of fact, it was the opposite.

ONLY reason Kentucky and duke haven't had any blowback is because the NCAA decided to look at the addidas schools, not Nike 🙄
You continue to bury your head in the sand. Everybody and their brother knows cal and UK are as dirty as they come.
Don't need to. Everybody knows it🤣Prove it. Or shut the fvck up.
Exactly as I figured; another uninformed, uneducated idiot trying to pass off opinion as fact. "Everybody knows it". GTFO. You do realize the NCAA is the governing body of intercollegiate athletics don't you? They don't need to be "the FBI". Probably not...Don't need to. Everybody knows it🤣
You gonna show proof or..keep pointing to NCAA allegations that have zero proof of anything? You do realize the NCAA is not the FBI and just because they say something doesn't mean it's true, right? Surely you're not that naive
Nice job hogsHow ironic @dukedevilz
And you think they know all? Idiot. They can throw shit at the wall and it doesn't have to stick. Just because they say something doesnt mean they have proof. While the FBI trial is literally all about proof. Who has it and who doesn't. Tell me how that went. Let me guess, you have no clue about that either. Are you trying to act all high and mighty because the NCAA hasnt come after Kentucky? Everybody in college basketball knows how calipari operates. There have been plenty of people over the years talk about the type of benefits and payments that went to UK players. They're not hard to find. It's not opinion. He got caught at UMass, then at Memphis, then all of the sudden you think he stopped? When everybody and their brother have come out with specific amounts to specific players 🤣 gtfoh kid. There's a reason they haven't gone after Nike..Exactly as I figured; another uninformed, uneducated idiot trying to pass off opinion as fact. "Everybody knows it". GTFO. You do realize the NCAA is the governing body of intercollegiate athletics don't you? They don't need to be "the FBI". Probably not...
Yea, we are still waiting on the Notice of Allegations, fvckstickAnd you think they know all? Idiot. They can throw shit at the wall and it doesn't have to stick.

How ironic @dukedevilz
I've already conceded that Gonzaga would lose multiple games in the SEC. I've conceded that Gonzaga could also lose in the Sweet 16
That is true; but you also spent a lot of time on metrics to convince us how good Gonzaga was.lol how long after the game did you post? Did you miss the part where I said Gonzaga was beatable?
That is true; but you also spent a lot of time on metrics to convince us how good Gonzaga was.
All of those numbers indicate that yes Gonzaga would lose some games, but they would also contend for P6 conference titles, especially in years like 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2022.
I would agree that Gonzaga's backcourt isn't up to the standards of a typical Final Four contender.
Suggs, Ayayi, Kispert >> Nembhard, Bolton, Strawther
The Gonzaga guards aren't bad, by any means. They're all capable of being 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Team All-Conference in a power league. But, none of them are at an All-American level, IMO. Suggs and Kispert were All-Americans. Ayayi was HM All-American.
Even though the frontcourt and rim protection will be better than it was last season, overall the ceiling is much lower because the backcourt isn't on par with last year's group. Dominant backcourts are more likely to produce championships than dominant frontcourts.
Having 2 of the top 3-4 players in the country is a ridiculous luxury. They'll steamroll right through most teams. Still wonder how their backcourt will handle things. Nembhard is a monster in the PnR. Just think he'll have to create his shot a little more - and he can't shy away from contact. I only watched the title game once, but it seemed like those Baylor guards really got under his skin. Zags will need him to toughen up a bit if they're going to cut down the nets.
Gonzaga will lose at least one game in the WCC. Wouldn't be overly surprising if it's more than one game.
The fact that you think Doron Lamb is better than Nembhard or Ayayi proves my point. Thank you. Zero of your basketball takes have credibility after that one.
