<p>I really think the Wildcats will make the NCAA if they play the way they did against Georgia Tech. That was a great performance, and if they keep it up and get some quality conference wins, they should be dancing in March.</p>

<p>As for Michigan State’s peformance against Duke…it was meh. I’m actually surprised that we were able to keep the game to 5 points considering the fact that our best 3 players didn’t really produce until the end…and the turnovers…ugh… But even if we did everything right, it still would have been tough to beat a great Duke team with a ridiculously talented player in Kyrie Irving.</p>

<p>Kill me now.</p>

<p>^The UCLA-Kansas [url=&lt;a href=“http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/recap/_/id/303362305/ucla-bruins-vs-kansas-jayhawks]game[/url”&gt;http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/recap/_/id/303362305/ucla-bruins-vs-kansas-jayhawks]game[/url</a>]?</p>

24

<p>Yes, that game seems like it was months ago.</p>

25

<p>ahh, that was better</p>

26

<p>^I’m starting to feel the same way about Michigan State. Seems that they were a bit overrated coming into the season. They haven’t won some games that they should, but hopefully they can get the W against Texas tonight</p>

27

<p>Are there any teams in college basketball right now whose offense doesn’t revolve around the uncontested 3 point shot? Every game I watch, both teams offenses pass the ball around the perimeter until the shot clock expires and a guy heaves up a garbage shot or one guy gets to shoot an open 3. Boring.</p>

<p>I guess I’m asking: are there any teams with dominant post scorers or dribble-drivers?</p>

28

<p>Kenneth Faried from Morehead St has put up some good numbers as far as post scorers (and rebounders) go. They’re not a particularly good team though.</p>

29

<p>It sucks that they don’t let Kanter play.</p>

30

<p>Yeah, there should be more professionals in amateur basketball.</p>

<p>Josh Selby is a pioneer</p>

31

<p>Baylor seems to have a pretty good front court from what I’ve seen.</p>

32

<p>Congrats to Faisal Aden and to a lesser extent Klay Thompson for acting like total ******bags.</p>

33

<p>Oklahoma State Cowboy Fan here. Like the thread!</p>

34

<p>Texas is looking like a good team this year. :D</p>

35

<p>Go duke! </p>

<p>Though, it’s a pity about Kyrie’s foot…I hope he gets better soon! It would be pretty terrible if he was out for the whole season</p>

36

<p>Texas A&M is looking solid, ESP in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year
the last 2 games were sloppy though…hope we pick up our game in time for conference play</p>

37

<p>Looking forward to some good match-ups this weekend.</p>

<p>@mermaid123456 - That’s too bad about Kyrie’s foot. If he’s out for the whole season, it will be a big blow to the team, but they still have other great players, so we’ll see…</p>

38

<p>If someone other than Kemba Walker can step up and produce consistently this year UConn will be a force.</p>

39

<p>^I agree. I don’t think they’re balanced enough to go deep in the tourney, but they’ve had some quality wins this season.</p>

<p>Big ACC matchup tonight, would be a duke domination if kyrie was healthy though. Thoughts?</p>
