*****OFFICIAL NCAA TOURNEY THREAD*****

[IUfanBorden]

Your program is a dumpster fire. Lolol. Keep firing though

And still has been to a FF and a SW 16 mores recently than Iowa...Your dudes haven't won the B10 since 1979.....JFC, Hawk----I was 6 last time Iowa won the B10. My 23 year old son was 1 last time Iowa got past the 2nd round...

I mean, goodness, brother....

 

[hawkit3113]

Ya do realize this isn't the first time a team has made a "buzz" in the NCAAT, right?

I mean do you seriously believe the NCAA conspired to get SP to the ELite 8?

Yes. If I am selling a product and want to expand sales, how do I grow my market? I already have my hardcore fans, so I can't sell them more.

I sell it to the passive or causal fan. Can I do that by selling them Purdue or Kentucky? Hell no. I sell them sister Joan. And St Peters. And all those other shit story's.

We own your dumpster fire of a program, lol.

 

[UNC71-00]

Dont you guys have a pinned offseason thread to discuss how both your teams honk?

If the NCAAT was a "new" thing----I'd get this. But they(NCAA) don't need to market the tournament, man....We ain't talking about someone trying to sell a new product here, bro..

What competes with the NCAAT? Absolutely nothing. THey don't have competition. There's nothing else going on....Baseball is in spring training...no NFL....NBA has never been an issue/challenge. No CFB...I mean, the Masters starts after the tournament. IN other words, there is nothing elese to compete against for ratings...

Your my dude, man....But this has to be one of the dumbest reasonings I have ever heard..

WHo ya'll replacing Hubert with...?

You clearly don't understand how networks get paid.

Then why have two elite 8 games on TBS?

Smh

 

[IUfanBorden]

ask @coryfly

He's my dude,man----Plus, I ain't giving ya'll shit. Hell, every fan base loses their shit; I mean ****, UK wants to fire Cal...

I do know this-----Next Saturday is going to be fukin epic----Duke/UNC---in the Final Four. Not to mention, their first EVER tourney game is going to be in the National Semi-Finals? Wow...

IU and UK was a Lettener buzzer-beater away from meeting in the FF.....Then you had UL/UK a few years back in the FF....

Next Sat probably gonna be one of the best FF's in years..

 

[hawkit3113]

Well this game is riveting, lol

Thanks CBS

 

[duckboy33]

If March Madness was rigged, we would have had at least one good elite 8 game

 

[IUfanBorden]

Dude they could play the Elite 8 on the fukin Disney Channel, and people would watch. I 100% understand how networks get paid-----Commercials, ads, and of course, people watching.

St. Peter's is a great story----and has created a buzz....No doubt. And no doubt people have tuned in to watch----But the same amount, IF NOT MORE, would have done so if this were UK/UNC...

Just, I mean, ok----You, win. Its a big conspiracy...NCAA, officials, teams, etc,e tc....All in on it. Amazing they(NCAA) have been able to keep this "secret" in check...

It's rigged, until it's not.

Finally you are getting it. They are in the business of making money.

 

[IUfanBorden]

Thats what they get for conspiring to get a St. Pete/UNC, Regional Final...

Apparently, TBS is better at this shit----They got Duke/Arkansas, Houston/Villanova.

Duke will win I think. The Coach K effect will be enough, but I think it will be respectable

 

[rockycard]

We’re just waiting on Dukes season to end so that we’ll take Nolan Smith from them.

 

[IUfanBorden]

eFinally you are getting it. They are in the business of making money.

I cannot believe this is a ral conversation...

 

[hawkit3113]

They sold a shit story and now we get this pile of shit for a game.

 

[IUfanBorden]

Its always rigged when your team is never a factor....

 

[hawkit3113]

Or your too stupid to get it

 

[coryfly]

Great game, @UNC71-00. Awesome job from Hubert and this team. Try and enjoy it.

What did you expect the NCAA/CBS to do? Ignore St. Peter's? Marketing is about taking the moment, and pushing it, i.e. striking while the iron is hot... I have a feeling had UK beaten SP in round 1, the NCAA/CBS, etc, etc...would have still made a few bucks... 🤣 .

You have got to be trolling me Hawk.....Please, please, PLEASE tell me you are...

Television has turned into manipulation and propaganda. You think sports are above this?

im enjoying the hell out of it, just like I have the whole season

 

[hawkit3113]

I want to see talented basketball teams and match ups. Not feel good storys. I am still about the competition.

I am done.

 

[IUfanBorden]

Borden, what’s with four IU guys transferring out already ? Does that mean TJD is coming back ?

I dunno, man....Durr leaving made it interesting, huh? I wasn't surprised with the others---but the Durr transfer kind of makes you think...We have no bigs coming in via recruits...Only Duncomb would have been a challenge(at this point) for playing time.....So unless he(Durr) knows something we don't, i.e. big coming via the portal, his leaving is kinda of mind boggling, TBH. And makes you think rather TJD is returning, OR he knows /thinks, IU is bringing in someone...

Well blame that on UK and Purdue----not CBS. Hell, I'm not sure UK beats Murray State anyways.

I dunno. Both teams though are playing really, really good basketball.

 

[coryfly]

Yeah, it's weird that you think I don't enjoy games because of a difference of opinion but hey, I'm happy for you. Good for you, brother. Seriously.

 

[hawkit3113]

Good for Davis. Even though he probably never took a class at UNC

 

[AWilli6995]

Come on man!

 

[hawkit3113]

Come on man!

No, that was cool. He took a bunch of shit this year. And it's not an easy job.

 

[UNC71-00]

all I know is that Carolina won the sideline reporter bracket

we had Allie LaForce and Jamie Erdahl. They can never take that away.

 

[UNC71-00]

Yeah, it's weird that you think I don't enjoy games because of a difference of opinion but hey, I'm happy for you. Good for you, brother. Seriously.

it has nothing to do with having a difference of opinions

It has to do with you thinking (and repeatedly whining) that Carolina will never be worth a shit with Davis as coach, who you think is so stupid that he forgets to substitute.

Im enjoying the hell out of all of this from pretty much every aspect.

 

[hawkit3113]

Question, did Davis have any head coaching experience?

All I remember is him being on ESPN

 

[UNC71-00]

Why do you lie? When your opinion sucks so bad that you have to lie that means your opinion probably sucks. If you want to come at me then be honest. If not, go away. I will clearly own the things I said about Hubert but not lies you make up to try and get board cred with a bunch of dudes who don't even like you anyway.

I honestly think he just forgets. I can't think of any other reasonable explanation.

shut the fûck up.

I was right the first time.

UNC up almost 40 points and with less than 12 minutes left in the game no subs have played the second half. Despite his star freshman, who is probably unhappy with his PT anyway, playing great in the first half when he was allowed to play. I really don’t understand not wanting to use the...
