Event NCAA ripcitytwo bracket - Round of 32

[SlyPokerDog]

I'll take it if Schilly doesn't want it, I'll pass on it if he does.

Ticket is yours. PM me your contact info so I can pass it on to the Blazers.

Looking forward to watching Sabonis play again tonight. Who ever said he's been the highlight of the tournament in the other thread was spot on.

In fact 1 mock (NBAdraft.net) has already put Sabonis above Poeltl (Sabonis 9 to Raptors, Poeltl 11 to Bucks)

Go Zags!!

 

[ripcityboy]

Zags fans vs Cuse fans.... who has bigger chips on their shoulders?! Should be a good one.

 

[PDXFonz]

Zags are ready!

 

[PDXFonz]

The Portland native Wiltjer is on fire tonight!

 

[BonesJones]

I can't take Marv Albert seriously... Haha

Why not?

 

[PDXFonz]

Zags poised to go far if they keep playing the way they have in the past 2 games.

 

[BonesJones]

Why not?

Women's panties... Biting...

Wow Wiltjer was deep when he pump faked, and the defender bought it and fouled him. Could you imagine taking one of the NBA's elites and putting them in college... Or if you took the top 64 NBA players and placed them 1 per NCAA team in the tournament. Put the top 4 on the 1 seeds (or vice versa?)

Kansas - Curry
North Carolina - Lebron
Virginia - Durant
Oregon - Kawhi

You would probably see a lot of upsets. I wonder who's team would end up winning it. Obviously the college talent would still have something to do with it. But do you think certain NBA players could be a big enough one man show to win?

Cousins comes to mind because he would be by far the strongest, tallest, and most dominant force on the court, regardless of who the NBA player he was faced against was. Plus he can score from pretty much anywhere on the court and would probably make easy work scoring down low all game. Could Cousins score 85 points on Steph Curry and the Kansas Jayhawks?

In my mind you play with NBA contact rules, but the College players would be used to that so there would be no advantage for NBA players in that regard.

With the best players on the worst teams? So those 4 would be on 16 seeds? That'd be fun!

 

[BonesJones]

They need to make the tournament double elimination. That'd be fun!

You think it would be better that way?

I kind of like the idea of having the "underdog" players on the underdog teams.

 

[BonesJones]

More than double the games? Hell yeah.Keeping more teams in it longer, Winners Bracket and Full Bracket Tournament games, a longer tournament, more tournament sites, an added dimension. It'd be awesome!

 

[HailBlazers]

Go ZAGS

 

[ripcityboy]

Damn. Zags look good. I'm hoping for a Far Classic Matchup in the near future with UO, OSU, Gonzaga and whatever drek is repping the Pilots. Sorry guys.

[PDXFonz]

Sabonis is already better at going straight up on defense than half of the players in the NBA.

 

[BonesJones]

?

It's the pros of a double elimination tournament

Oh, I wasn't talking about that.

Double elimination would be interesting but would take away a lot of the magic. I bet every Michigan St. fan would sign that petition right now though.

I don't think it would take much away. I think it would create more just because there'd be more games and more teams that would get a 2nd chance.

I'd just love having 16 games the first four days (The last 2 days would have 16 loser bracket games)

 

[PDXFonz]

The way Sabonis passes looks so much like his father. If this kid slips in the draft I officially deem half the front offices in the NBA "Bogus".

I think he should go 3rd.

 

[PDXFonz]

In related news, Gonzaga needs to do a better job of getting it into him.

 

[HailBlazers]

Sabas!

 

[PDXFonz]

There hasn't been a single person in the tournament thus far who has been able to stop Sabonis.

 

[HailBlazers]

Fonz, is that Obama in your Avatar?

 

[PDXFonz]

LOL NO!

It's Erykah Badu

 

[PDXFonz]

I feel like Sabonis rushed that shot there, as did he his first FT which he missed earlier.

 

[HailBlazers]

Man Wiltjer needed to grab that board.
