Carey February 26, 2023 Share February 26, 2023 (edited) Regardless of this case and whatever side someone is on plus those with no care/opinion, Brandon Miller’s entrance skit on Saturday did not need to take place. Yeah, it’s safe to say that isn’t really a good look. At the end of the day, if I had to guess, nothing big happens to the Alabama star, but maybe don’t do that (especially) while the case is happening. In terms of happenings, as in on the court: March has arrived early. Which happens annually. To be more specific, a couple buzzer beaters, courtesy of irrelevant road teams at the expense of a couple Top 10 15 teams. Doesn’t help that both games featured the top rivals facing each other! Miami’s loss changes nothing, and Florida State will still have to win the ACC Tournament in order to go dancing. Arizona’s loss maybe could bump them to 3 with others below taking advantage of the upset. Arizona State probably still has to win the Pac 12 tourney, but they’re in a better spot than FSU (I think). We’ll see if they get votes, jump others, and enter a first/next four out spot. They’re a 20-win team that’s fourth in their conference ETA: Miami actually is outside of the AP Top 10. Virginia from the same conference is (at least until Monday).

Come on you're splitting hairs. He drove a gun to the sight of a crime scene where someone was killed. He was sent a text beforehand stating one of the people involved needed his gun. Can't prove he saw the text so that's what saves him. Whether he was already on his way when that text was sent does not matter. If he saw the text and kept driving is no different than getting the text and then driving there. He should have known something could happen. And it wasn't just a 'oh hey did I leave my gun in your car' ? I can't find the exact quote but was pretty clear he needed the gun and had plans to use it. And there is the fact alabama had no idea about this text until earlier this week. Which mean they asked him little said 'we don't want to know' and planned to do nothing until forced to do so. I'm an Indiana fan and its unlikely they face alabama this year. If they meet in the tourney will be late rounds I'll be happy to make it that far let alone win. And miller Even if he doesn't play now it's hurts him not one bit. He's going to the NBA will be a lottery pick and will face no legal consequences from this whether he finishes the season or not. My opinion has nothing to do with wanting any easier match ups. But sure it's everyone else that's biased and alabama fans that are not. And the only reporting bias I see is over if his car blocked the other vehicle (it didnt) and if he saw the text or not which again can't prove he saw it, he was alone. I actually don't care about his intro thing. He shouldn't do it but I've been watching kids in high school and college do it for years, everywhere. He didn't come up with it.

Here are some of the key games: Big XII ChampionshipKansas/Texas Kansas 1.5 O/U is 141.5 Big East ChampionshipXavier/Marquette Marquette 2.5 O/U 153.5 Atlantic Coast Conference ChampionshipDuke vs Virginia Duke 2.5 O/U 123.5 Pacific 12 ChampionshipArizona vs UCLA UCLA 1.5 O/U 147.5 I think I'll go with Duke, UCLA, Kansas & Texas. Though UCLA & Texas for the win might be a bit tricky. Purdue & Alabama have advanced to their respective conference tournament final. Neither need to win it in order to clinch an NCAA Tournament bid, but they both might want to in order to have a case to deny Houston for the overall top seed Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12683-college-basketball/page/25/#findComment-7909187
AimingforYoko March 11, 2023 Share March 11, 2023 Penn St. prevents an all-Indiana battle for the Big 10 title. I think your No 1's are Houston, Alabama, UCLA and Kansas. Purdue's got a shot if the Bruins fall to Arizona. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12683-college-basketball/page/25/#findComment-7909257

I'm not understanding the correlation. It's a joke. However, there is a correlation, and in all fairness, I might as well mention it. Furman is going to its first NCAA Tournament in over 4 decades. Their last appearance 43 years ago occurred about a couple weeks before Coach K became the Blue Devils head coach. Furman is a SoCon school. That probably helps with the drought. To be honest, this is not much more than a coincidence, but it is a fact. So I went 1-3 in championship games; was only right with Duke. They are playing some awesome hoops right now. Probably would've been among the top teams had it not been for their early struggles. I'll try to do better today, though I did manage to go 8-0 in Saturday's semi final games!

Carey March 12, 2023 Share March 12, 2023 The Sunday picks for the final game before the Selection Show: Ivy League ChampionshiopPrinceton vs Yale Yale favored by 3.5 Over/Under is 138.5 Southeastern Conference ChampionshipTexas A&M vs Alabama Alabama favored by 5.5 Over/Under is 146.5 Atlantic 10 Conference ChampionshipDayton vs VCU VCU favored by 1.5 Over/Under is 124.5 American Athletic Conference ChampionshipMemphis vs Houston Houston favored by 5.5 Over/Under is 135.5 Big Ten ChampionshipPenn State vs Purdue Purdue favored by 7.5 Over/Under is 134.5 Yale, Alabama, Dayton, Memphis, and Purdue for the win outright. I like PSU and A&M to cover (I can see the former winning outright though, while the history for the latter is more football-related, I believe). I think the over hits for every game except the Ivy League & the American 27 schools are officially in. There are about 20 more that are definitely in, but not official until six hours from now. Five of the 10 schools mentioned above & playing today will be made official before 6:00 PM Eastern.

mojoween March 12, 2023 Share March 12, 2023 Alabama had “an incident”. Greg Gumbel, shut, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck up. With that said, I’m still watching a bunch of names get put on a bunch of lines and enjoying it. Does CBS ever put out the ratings for this? 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12683-college-basketball/page/25/#findComment-7910162
