Thoughts on those Miami uniforms? They're different. And green shoes... except for the one guy (only one when I noticed it earlier) who was wearing orange shoes. lol.

IMO it solidifies an opinion that was already solid. Nike>Adidas. The Adidas school's post season uniforms are atrocious.

Actually, I really dig the Miami whites from last week. And those Kansas unis are probably best in the tourney.

I've always felt the dark "Aggie" Maroon is kinda bland and limiting, but aTm's unis are about as good as you can do with that color.

Ready for this Duke vs Oregon game. I picked Maryland to beat Ku. We'll see how that plays out.

Villanova has been the most impressive team to this point in the tourney, IMO. I expect them to take down Kansas Saturday. Miami tonight hit 10/17 threes, well over 50% from the field.....and lost by 23.

It should be a fun game to watch. I think it will be fairly close.

Duke's D was a joke in that 2nd half. IDK if Plumlee is the only serviceable big they got, but I don't understand K sticking with small ball. The wings couldn't stay in front of their guys and they couldn't defend the rim.

Just shooters man, just shooters. They beat Yale by 7, and that was with one of the more ridiculous opening halves of outside shooting. Not as good against Oregon, and they didn't have Floppy Allen to bail them out. When he doesn't score more than 20, they seem to lose a lot more often.

He is. He literally is. Amile Jefferson was the other guy, but he got injured, and Jeter isn't ready. That's why I didn't expect them to go that far

This Duke team was basically a mentally tougher version of the 2014 team that lost to Mercer. Two great wings, but only one big man on the team, questionable PG play and bad defense.

I love K, but he is too obsessed with small ball. It's great if you have the right personnel, but his personnel did not match up well at all last night. He doesn't recruit enough bigs. Last Olypmics team USA didn't have enough bigs (Love, Davis, and Chandler), and he didn't play them much. At one point we had Lebron at 5 and Melo at 4. We almost got beat by Lithuania. We have the talent to play 4 shooters and outrebound the world by 10-20 boards per game, but he won't put that squad on the floor.
