Crazy how there’s 2 games of teams squarely on the bubble. I feel like NC State-Clemson and Ohio State-Indiana is win and in the NCAA Tournament, lose and go to the NIT

Good point. Although, I think they are more "lose and you're out" because the bubble is likely going to shrink by a few more spots; so each of the winners may still get squeezed out if they lose their next game on Friday.
Finally the world's greatest basketball tournament is upon us.
Whose your pick?
I am going with Purdue. And Iowa makes it to Sat.

Same team that's lost 5/6 of their last games and the won the two games prior to that against the bottom of the B10 on buzzer beaters. Not good, Bob.
Sure man. Why not tell everyone here why we’re wrong thinking Haarms, without significant improvement, won’t get drafted or play in the NBA....Lulz
Again, I said if he continues to improve over the next two years like he has so far, it wouldn’t surprise me if he gets drafted. Never guaranteed it. Just that there’d be a chance.
Hey dick face, don't rain on my parade, lol. It's tourney time and I am trying to be optimistic
I'm a motherfvcking monsoon, and I'm headed for Iowa.
Hoping for that Iowa-Illinois rematch. At least we can settle this once and for now.
You argued with me all day because I said it’s highly unlikely, which it is. He would have to significantly improve meaning a lot more than he has already.
Yep, and even thou this has not been banner year for either OSU or Indiana, getting into the Dance is still HUGE for a program.
Dude, it's all in fun. It's just our thing to mess with PU fans. I do like this Purdue team.
Yeah that sucked. Still have to win tomorrow, if many more bids get stolen they'll have to beat MSU as well.
It’s actually even lower since we have been talking about conference games only, where he took 81 three’s.
81 x (38% - 32%) = 4.86
4.86 x 3 = 14.58
14.58 / 20 = 0.729 incremental pts
Fvck St Mary's, Gonzaga and their whole shitty conference.
You guys are now arguing semantics.
1) “a chance” if he keeps improving at the same rate
vs.
2) “highly unlikely” if he doesn’t improve significantly.
Yeah man. I don't get it. I said it's highly unlikely, but possible. Some Purdue fans took issue with it. Really weird.
What's your point? I said it's highly unlikely. Another way of saying that, wait for it, is Haarms has zero chance at the NBA. He pretty much is what he is at this point. Go unbunch your panties.
It’s the language that deal in absolutes with no qualifiers that always start these arguments. I can see both sides of the argument. Haarms obviously isn’t good enough right now from a skill (except blocks) and physical perspective (except mobility), so he will have to continue to make improvement jumps or he has no chance.
With that being said, he has made substantial jumps compared to where he was when he walked in the door 3 years ago as the #350+ rated recruit in his class. He is only a soph and has 2 more years to develop. Plus the NBA is a totally different game now where teams are looking for mobility and rim protection. Haas would have been a lottery pick 15 yrs ago, but the game has changed so much since then. Haarms is more of the protypical big man that teams look for now, although he needs to keep adding strength. If he can develop a long range jumper (form looks good and he has made some albeit on low attempts), he has a chance IMO.
He would need to put on serious weight/strength along with becoming a serious threat from deep which he hasn't shown yet. And I don't mean hit the occasional 3pt shot every handful of games. He needs to show he can hit multiple a game at a high rate. Add in he's not on any mock draft boards, his age, year in school and the unlikelihood he leaves early, his age is going to be a negative factor as well. I put all those things together and came to the conclusion that it's highly unlikely he gets drafted and/or plays in the NBA. He'll improve, sure, but not enough to get drafted. I would put the likelihood at close to zero he gets drafted.
SNU is getting worked over.
i said he'd average 23-25 ppg IIRC, which, omg, he did!
