I got Hoop Dreams coach - The NBA thread

Gonna be hard to stop Gonzaga from winning it all.

The last team to go undefeated in the season and win the NCAA Tournament was back in 1976. If anyone is going to break “the curse” they have the best chance this year.

Unless Isiah Livers makes a miraculous return for Michigan, there’s nobody on there side of the draw they should lose to on paper.

Number 3 Texas out…

Goodbye to all the perfect brackets.

It’s been a great tournament so far

We have our first #1 seed out.

Illinois losing to Loyola Chicago who are very under seeded at #8.

Apparently, not all!

I got my girlfriend to pick a bracket, she picked just on logos and nicknames.

She’s absolutely smashing my bracket and close to the top percentage.

Seems a bit of a stretch. I can’t imagine a 2 year old would know these words, let alone prefer them over others:

  • Seminoles
  • Wolverines
  • Bruins
  • Crimson Tide
  • Trojans
  • Bluejays
  • Razorbacks
  • Ramblers

I’ll give her wildcats, orange, beavers, cougars, bears and even golden eagles. But that’d mean she’s picked those 8 likely unknown mascots over things like tigers, other cougars, huskies, bulldogs, eagles, antelopes, bobcats, hawks, gators, badgers, dragons, cowboys and vikings.

Really this just highlights some of the ridiculous college mascots.

UCLA come all the way from the First Four and knock out #1 Michigan in the East Region final.

The Final Four is set now.

#2 Houston vs #1 Baylor
#11 UCLA vs #1 Gonzaga

Houston as in Clyde and Akeem?

UCLA have had such a great tournament, but Gonzaga have been absolutely crushing everyone. Should be a great game.

What a finish to UCLA & Gonzaga

Gonzaga is a type of cheese yeah?

Wow, what a game - just finished watching the highlights.

I know Cade Cunningham is favourite to go #1, but Suggs has had such an incredible season for Gonzaga, it’s such a shame he’s going to go #2.

I love what Edwards has been doing in Minnesota and this season and his ceiling is going to be massive and LaMelo Ball was playing so well before his injury but this years draft class is insane in comparison to last year’s.

That Gonzaga finish was a wee bit hectic.

FMD.

You don’t pay attention for 12 months …

When did Phoenix get good?

Hey, I can’t believe the Knicks are actually reasonable and don’t stink!

Knicks have got a good young team. RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley are both going to grow into great players, and Julius Randle is going to be a great leader as he continues to grow as a player - he COULD be all an All Star next season if he keeps it up.
