Title of thread should be: "Which of the 600 amatuer teams sucks the least". Watching college hoops is like watching AAA baseball.

Some of these players are a lot better than the pros.

Obviously you have not watched James Harden and Cooksis play. They played High School basketball together. Asu should go far in this

I've got Wake Forest as the champion in my bracket.

meh, Wake hasn't been consistently good since January. When they're on they're game, they're one of the best, but I haven't seen them play at that level since they beat us (The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill).

You're kidding right? Like Micheal Morrison?

Spoken like a Lakers fan. Lakers fans, Celtics fans, Spurs fans, and Suns fans are ridiculously spoiled. Trust me, as a Knicks fan, I have definitely seen basketball at a level where college players were clearly better than the shit the knicks put on the court on a daily basis.

It's not like Derrick Rose wasn't better than half the point guards in the league last year. UNC playing defense would beat oklahoma city. Lopez and Love last year were better than half the starting centers in the league last year (that's why they start now).

On average, of course college players are really inferior to nba players. But the top 5-7 draft picks end up starting in the nba for a reason, and the next 8 end up being rotation players for a reason. Those guys are NBA ready.

But as far as the Thunder, Clippers, Knicks, and the other bottom feeder teams in the league, a few of the number 1 seeds in this year's tournament would've given them a run for their money.

And this is coming from someone who prefers NBA ball by a pretty massive margin. I watch all the Carolina games, try to keep up with the rest of the ACC, and I watch the tournament, and that's about the extent of my NCAA watching. For comparison, I haven't missed a Knicks game since 2003.

Woot CSUN giving Memphis a good run for their money.

I want to see CSUN win but it's gonna mess up my bracket in Tourney Pick em.

Monaco35Dream · 03-19-2009, 01:04 PM

CS Northridge has Memphis in their sights...shooting 50%, 6/11 from 3pt.

Don't know about VCU. UCLA always turns up the heat during the tourney.

Blue Devils for sure.

I like what coach K said:

"Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's Final Four, and as much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets,"

Jared@ACGsandiego · 03-19-2009, 04:37 PM

TheAcAvenger · 03-19-2009, 04:57 PM

Coming from the guy who's supposed to be the coach of some "elite" program that hasn't seen the sweet 16 in 3 years?

Hahah okay coach K. Nobody has Dook in the final 4. They suck.
