NCAAT thread (It's ON!)

The best part of this play is that Dicky V is so lost in his rambling tangent that the other two announcers either don’t realize what happened or can’t figure out how to interject to make a comment about it lol.

This has been the Dickie V experience for about the last 30 years
 
Duke has slightly better odds than Michigan/Arizona. No meaningful difference

It does seem like those factor in Ngongba returning

Small Boozer looking good against Clemson/Virginia alleviates a lot of the Foster concern

Duke needs Ngongba. Foster hasn't played two games like the two Cayden just played in his career. They will definitely miss his leadership and defense, and I understand your point, but Duke is razor thin up front without Pat. And they do not have anyone else who brings what he brings to the court.



Which is absolutely insane.

Oh they need Ngbonga to make a run, no doubt. But they should be fine with Brown at the 5 for the first weekend. Makes them razor thin at two spots. Cam can at least slide down and play the 5 in a pinch. Not a lot of alternatives for Cayden...and no help on the horizon.

I was always perplexed they didn't snag a vet guard in the portal who could actually play for depth.
 
By the way, I saw an ad saying that Kalshi was having a billion-dollar bracket busting competition. Anyone who submits a perfect bracket gets $1B.

This shit should be illegal. Yes, I know the odds are way longer than a billion to one. It is very unlikely to happen. But still:

1. There is no way Kalshi has a billion dollars, and I very much doubt they are insuring this bet. So they are promising a payout they can't possibly deliver.

2. The incentives here are scary. Suppose there is a perfect bracket up to the Final Four. Three games for a billion dollars. The incentive for corruption is off the charts. Refs will get bribed or threatened. Players could get Kerriganed. I mean, it's rare that anyone ever has a billion dollars riding on the outcome of a single game or even three.

You and me both.


BTW Will Wade was an absolute fuckwad to his team last night. "We need better players"

Asshole. Maybe they need a human as a coach

It’s like Coach Smith said (and I’m paraphrasing) “If you win it’s on the players. If you lose it’s on the coach.”

This douche never fails to deliver. You can't say that shit right after you get eliminated. Chode.

Agree.

Honestly sucks that both of our teams may likely have seasons derailed due to injuries.

Other than a loss of depth, I think losing Foster is a net gain. Ngbonga is a critical piece but Sarr and Brown have really stepped up in his absence.

At least we won't have to worry about any of guys getting Kerriganed.
