Izzo once again showing how good of a coach he is.

Not many coaches like him left.

Yep.

Much respect for Izzo and State.

Overrated? We made the Elite 8 and lost to a team that has gotten really hot. Same as UT. Sometimes it isn't your day.

U lost to TN in the SEC tournament.
You were the fourth best team in the SEC but the talking heads built u up like u were a one seed.

Reality is you were getting knocked out by the first good team u faced. If Okeke isn’t hurt you get slaughtered. Lose by atleast 20.

Only reason u were a 2 seed is you are KY.

Yes, you were overrated.

They only had three fouls at the end of the game when they needed to foul. Take that Duke, refs and ESPN!!!

Yeah you sure got em there. Way to show them

Zion clearly the best player around but glad he is gone. Officials couldn't even manage a game with him.

Maybe college basketball will get back to being watchable now.

Never get smart. Please. Your ignorance on this board has been a treasure for years

Maybe college basketball will get back to being watchable now that his ass is gone.

Zion was one of the very few reasons CBB was watchable for the casual fan during the regular season.

I look forward to following him at the next level. Kid was a beast.

I don’t want to just see dunks. Dude has no, absolutely zero mid-range game. Gets lucky on some 3s and can’t shoot FTs worth a damn. A tad bit overrated.

He’s a one trick pony that wore itself out Day 1. He should go play for the Harlem Globetrotters.

I could see it being a really exciting championship game (Auburn vs Michigan State) but it could also be an absolute snoozefest (Texas Tech vs Virginia)... or something in between. If it's TT vs UVA? That will look like a pre-shot clock era game with both teams in the 40's.

Holy moly.

1. We finished the SEC 15-3 and the 2nd seed. You can argue the UT > UK or whatever, but over 18 games we were not the 4th best team.
2. Houston is a good team. Wofford is a good team. Both top 20 teams according to KenPom. That's just fact. Auburn is 11th.
3. We're a 2 seed because we had a good Quad 1/2 record. Almost exactly the same as Virginia, Duke, UNC, Michigan State, etc etc. All this while dealing with injuries to 2 starters during the season.

We lost in overtime to an underseeded Auburn team who has one of the better offenses and is playing hot. Explain to me how losing in the Elite 8 as a 2 seed in overtime = overrated.

Completely absurd.

UVA vs TTech in the final will ensure a good night’s sleep for anyone tuning in.

Even the 2011 UConn vs Butler final doesn’t want to see that matchup.

Completely absurd.

I’m listening...go on.

I am a casual fan and he and Duke were the last game I would ever want to see on an average night. Brutally terrible team basketball.

 

[n_huffhines]

Suns or NYK are most likely to get Zion, and I'd be happy with either outcome. Just from a basketball fantasyland standpoint, the Hawks would be awesome. Rooting for Suns, tho how could the NBA not rig this for NYK?

 

[LittleCat]

And to think Auburn probably should have lost to New Mexico State.

Casual fans want to see stars be stars. You don't represent casual fans. Why are tv ratings so high for Zion?

I’ve watched plenty my friend. He’s a great one dimensional player. That. Is. All.

They don’t play D in the NBA so you can throw that part of the game out the window.

Once UF got eliminated, which Ray Charles saw coming as soon as the field was announced, I wanted to see entertaining games...which is what we’ve seen the past four days.

The thought of a Texas Tech-Virginia final is anything but entertaining.

For the casual fan, CBB’s regular season is all but irrelevant. This season was different because of ZW, for me at least. I enjoyed watching the kid play.

Wow. It’s like you want people to know that you know 2 things about the game of basketball
1. Jack
2. $****

That’s jackshit I guess one thing.
