NCAA Tournament (2024) Thread

Bama also finished #13 in Kenpom, not a huge surprise to get this far. UNC ended at #9. A (3/4 type matchup in that case, and it played like one). Clemson was 18, so like a 4/5 by KenPom.

Heck last year, UConn was a 4 seed, but the #1 overall team in Kenpom after the regular season. Did they really over achieve in the tourney last year?

Of all the dumb things I’ve heard JWill say, he just said dook/iNCeST was a bigger rivalry locally than UNC/dook. Stroke seems most likely

Locally? In his imagination is pretty local.

🤔 He must be suffering from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy as a result of his motorcycle accident. If you're
smart enough to "graduate" from dook (NCCU) you oughta be smart enough to wear a helmet and follow
the speed limit. And to understand the rivalry permutations in the Triangle.

Whoever wins the Ziegler/Smith matchup at point might be the difference. Tennesee back court has to keep hard ball pressure on Purdue.

 

[dtodd4475]

Pudue's fanbase showed out. Sounds like Mackey Arena in Detroit today.

 

[dtodd4475]

Tennessee has to harass the guards into turnovers if they want to get over the hump. Purdue crushing them on the glass.

 

[DSouthr]

This Tenn Purdue game is really entertaining.

 

[UNC-75]

I think you could put Eady on any team in the tournament and they would be favored.

 

[strummingram]

Looks like TN is headed home

 

[Oak ridger]

Edey reminds me of Lurch. He played the whole game, out for 30 seconds.

I don’t know. I get he’s emotionless and looks funny like he doesn’t want to be out there. But dang he’s good! There are quite a few kids in college about Edeys size. Nobody close to him though in being a smooth unstoppable inside weapon.

7'4 290 ? He has worked hard on his footwork. But he's next level big even for 7 footers.

Wish our center could have played all but 30 seconds

No way am i watching a minute of this sht show for the last final four slot but looking at the stats - they should’ve called it off and chosen the final four team by drawing a name from the other 14 teams in the region out of a hat. Man it looks ugly. Especially when looking at the other great s16 and especially e8 games.

Its ok. Either of these teams bring something like this game to AZ and they’ll lose to purdue by 20+ UConn by 35.

Will the teams cumulatively break 30% fg% or 20% 3pt% ? Fascinating stuff. Naismith rolling in his grave.

Off top of head Clemson UNC Tennessee a healthy Houston even Illinois deserves a ff slot over these two low grade mutts of teams. Woooff!

Zach Edey just picked up his 2nd foul against dook

 

[UNC-75]

Dang, he cut the net down from the ground without steps! I’ve never seen that.

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Refs are bending NCSux over right now! Unbelievable. Up 8 with the ball, now only up 6 dook ball

 

[UNC-75]

Refs are becoming part of the story.

 

[KeeLo]

Wish it was the heels still playing. What a run by state. On a 17-4 run right now. I think this is what every coach ultimately wants... Literally improving every game

 

[strummingram]

Flip fouls out??? Holy muther!

 

[alabamaheel]

Woooooo I love it. My dad is a state fan and here in Alabama with me. lol he’s on cloud nine for an old man.

 

[tarheels0015]

If ncsux hangs on great .. dook sux ... give ncsux a acc championship & regional championship every 35-40 yrs

Stupid

 

[sctarheel30]

Glad dook is going home but still hate it was moo that won so I hate someone had to win

 

[sctarheel30]

Let’s go Purdue!! Can’t wait to see burns try to back Edney down

 

[sctarheel30]

Have to admit I would have never predicted this run that the wusspeckers are currently on

 

[sctarheel30]

As for the one half of the FF bracket man I can’t stand either team UConn or bama.

 

[Heelicious]

UT!
OH!
Doookpiles!🤣😂🤣😂

This would be hella embarrassing, no?

Or would it be a “quality loss”? 🤣😂🤣😂

 

[sctarheel30]

Safe to say no “realistic” brackets had the pack in the FF. Sure so delusional fan did but nobody with any smarts at all did.

 

[Heelicious]

Edney is going to f up fat boy so bad. Glad they took out Dook but the miracle ends for wuffs tonight.

 

[sctarheel30]

Once again a team full of burger guys not gonna do it. Suck it dook

 

[UNC-75]

Congrats to the Wolfpack. One heck of a run. Perhaps one for the ages.

State needs to careful in the hand shake line. Thinking Flip may get a trip in before leaving the court and ending his college career. 🤪

 

[HEELS1984]

Lol at dook, lost to Carolina in a final four and now state in elite 8

 

[pittsburghheel]

So much guard talent at Dook.
I could see McCain and Proctor in the NBA.
Truly a historic run by NC State. Hats off.

 

[sctarheel30]

Glad the acc is represented in the FF but hate it’s moo and not clemsuck (or us)

 

[Heelicious]

Isn’t it insane that even in the uva ACC tournament game nc st had like a 0.1% chance of winning if uva knew basketball and then wuffs aren’t even in nit - and now they are in final four. Just a crazy long shot miracle.

 

[RP12]

Lots of tractors going on marketplace as we speak-final four tix are pricey!

 

[UNC-75]

Classy move Duke with the last foul

 

[sctarheel30]

I can agree nice run for pack and give credit where credit due but time for a reality check next weekend
