Bring on the next crop I will take 4 star Jr and Srs every f’ing year over this same old song every year. But they are fun to watch until this time of year. If this group can’t make a FF there is no OAD team that will do it.

JFC we didnt lose because of 1 and dones we lost because we failed to recruit kids that can shoot outside of 4 feet to surround the most dominant college basketball player in 30 years . Also, I will continue to knock Roy because he lost last round genius.

Well you can only have 4 and there are only a couple one and done teams so... Yeah, the probability is mathematically low.

Hey clown, you missed the point of my post. Well done, “genius”.

Well there's rarely any OAD teams in the entire country period other than Duke and UK so it's not really surprising that OAD teams aren't making the Final Four.

Most boring ******* final four in the history of the final four. My guess is that they will have record low viewers.

I feel bad for Zion and Barrett they did all they could as well as Jones.

The lack of play from everyone else or confidence in them from the staff did not help this season.

No you teach kids to shoot free throws. That’s it.

Shoot free throws and make better entry passes. The last two years we have been inches away from the Final Four and THE reason we were in those positions was because of freshmen.

These are the very best kids in America. How do you not recruit them. I dare you to prove to me to which national champion coach in the past 10 years would not have taken the one and done we’ve had.

I will say this. This was one of the weakest upper class men group we’ve had in a while but even then, Javin gave us a fantastic game.


We just got beat. It SUCKS but it happens.

Last year a SR missed the winning shot- this yr a FR

It’s Suuuuuuuppppper hard to win a champ guys. Don’t over think it

Yep and it's Suuuuuuuuppppper hard to make a Final Four. That's why it's so special.

Guess what, there are 62 other non-OAD teams in the tournament that didn't make the Final four and the two OAD teams made the Elite Eight. But yeah, it's all the OADs fault. Where's the senior led UNC team? Or Gonzaga led by a senior point guard?

Really? Do you even watch the games? You gonna seriously take a pot shot at Javin? He was amazing today! You’re a terrible fan!

Let’s not recruit Zion or RJ. Our season would have been better without them. Lol
Well MSUs was Zion and RJ will be watching just like us next weekend. If this team can’t get it done then what will. Look at the 2010 team. UK was supposed to smoke everyone but that old experienced *** bunch of slugs walked in and brought it home

Where did I take a shot at Javin? You really need to quit trying to play team savior!

I said “ Bench” yes Javin played well ( when is the last time anyone has said that and I’ve never downed him always been a fan of Javin)
What about White, Goldwire, Alex, Baker and Bolden?

Also notice I said ,” lack of confidence in them from the staff!”

Don’t come at me when , one I did not single out a single player( you assumed I did) and two I have not said one bad thing

I didn’t miss the free throws so why you mad at me? You bitched about the one and dones. Yep lets trade Zion for Josh f’ing Hairston. Who’s the clown lol
Again free throws have little to do with it. Sadly you cannot comprehend that, but based off of your “impressive” track record here, I’m not shocked.

Re-read your post bud. You’re either drunk posting or didn’t watch the game today.

Haha you get called out for making an idiotic post out of frustration and all you can do is throw insults. Go cheer for uncheat and Ole Roy. You seem to like his style and you post like a fan of theirs already so it’ll be an easy transition for you.

Dude just stop - you’re getting clobbered from a few angles here. Save a bit of face.
You and shey can come at me all you want. 1 loss by a very good team won’t re-direct my fandom like you 2. I’m not a bandwagon guy like you. You seriously took a shot at K and praised Roy. Are you kidding me?

And just how am I acting? Please tell me since you know. I haven’t downed a player or coach, I did state what many others have stated in the five hundred post from this year. Yet your singling put me as a ban wagon fan and I’m wondering how.
I even said I felt bad for Zion and RJ so I’m waiting

Comedic that you’re throwing insults around and even I reply with some, you use that as a crutch, pointing the finger. Please explain where I was “called out”? I’ll wait because watching you continue to implode is again, comedy.

So giving credit is “praising”?

“Acknowledge an accomplishment, as in They really should give her credit for the work she's done . [Late 1700s] The phrase is sometimes amplified to give credit where credit is due , meaning the acknowledgment should be to the person who deserves it.”

Versus

“Praise: express warm approval or admiration of.”

Wow, your idiocy knows no bounds.

I remember when everyone was upset that Duke wasn’t getting the elite one and done guys and getting beat in the sweet 16. Now we are upset that we get one and dones and get beat in the elite 8. I think it’s time to realize that it’s unrealistic to expect final four or championship every year no matter who you recruit. That didn’t happen at Duke even before one and done became a thing.

This team played well and played well enough to win today. Sparty just made a couple more plays. That’s the nature of high level sports. Sometimes you lose and have to deal with it like an adult.

I’m still waiting on where I took a crack shot at Javin. One of my favorite players.

But I guess you can cuss players and coaches and it’s cool.
