Game Thread March Madness 2017 - Elite Eight

So.......... Duck fans, who would you rather play and why, UNC or Kentucky?(It's gonna be Kentucky)

I'd rather play Kentucky. They have a super young team like Kansas. Our experience could be the deciding factor.

bell is cool but there are guys comparable to him that are better bets at the next level (motley for example) but I wouldn't complain if we drafted him.

 

[stampedehero]

Ducks looked dominant. Go Ducks!........... to the final game.

Told y'all Jordan Bell is the stud of the tournament...forget chuckers...he's a monster on defense...I really want to draft him in Portland...he's an NBA ready player

 

[rotary111]

If he keeps ballin like last night, he may move up the draft boards fast. You can bet he's moved into the first round after dominating the Jayhawks. He should be reachable if we are in fact looking at him. Ducks vs Gonzaga in the Final?

I would say the majority of Duck fans are leery of both teams but think that maybe the size and experience of NC is the tougher match up. Not to say the young guards of Kentucky will be easy, but if you have to pick your poison........

 

[rotary111]

I was leery of Kansas so bring whoever wins on! It's a great day.... to be a Duck fan!

If I had to pick one I guess Kentucky?

Also go Zags!!!!

Jordan Bell is an under sized Thomas Robinson.

with a brain?

Better defender. Trob does enough to not embarrass himself when switching on the perimeter, but bell actually thrives.

I'm salty that we had to play in janky ass Kansas City and the other side of the bracket got MS FUCKING G

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Jordan Bell is an under sized Thomas Robinson.

Better FT shooter though. Not a bad comparison though considering how good T-Rob was at Kansas

Does South Carolina have enough in the tank to defeat Florida? FIND OUT IN THE SECOND HALF OF DRAGON BALL Z

Trob averaged like .9 blocks his last year in college. Jordan averaged 2.2 this year. Trob total 34blks - Bell 83blks.

Trob was a much better offensive player though. 17.7 to Bells 10.9.

That could be true, but I think one could argue that Bell's 63% from the field vs TRob's 50% could even things out on the offensive comparison. With Oregon's other scorers, the offense is just not geared around him.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

South Carolina man!

 

[HailBlazers]

South Carolina man!

Madness!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I'm so happy for South Carolina but I always hate seeing the crying the losing team has, feel so bad... so much work, so close... yet so far away.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Justin Jackson just looks like he'd be a good Blazer. His movements are nice, love that jumper too

 

[PDXFonz]

Adebayo punished for being a man playing among boys in the paint.

At the same time he needs to be stronger down low, but the refs would never let him get away with it.

 

[PDXFonz]

One ref tells the other "Don't forget where the fuck you are Trevor, these are future NBA players, you can't call that bullshit on this stage!"

 

[PDXFonz]

Going after Kentucky's stars 1 by 1. Now Monk with the BS call for 2 fouls...

Kentucky baby

Kentucky just has endless weapons.

I came to the site to post just that. Interesting that Draft Express has us taking him at 12.

Yeah I happened to be watching the game too and decided to see what the mock drafts had us taking--and a couple had Justin Jackson as our pick. I've been watching him closely ever since and he'd be a good fit for sure.
