The Official 2025 March Madness Discussion Thread

“A Premature adulation.” You gotta love Raftery.

 

[C-south]

Dude

You were saying

 

[WarDamnVols]

Broome whines a lot, but you’d have to be blind to watch that replay where he came down/got hurt, and think he was “faking.” Guy is most definitely hurt.

CBM? Yeah, he’s a wuss.

He was hurting in that moment. He and his compadres are still the whiniest and most dramatic bunch I’ve ever seen.

Yo dog, so I heard you like 1 seeds…

 

[C-south]

Well dang. Go Houston.

 

[Zues1]

Cannot make it up.

[VolCalls]

Who’s going to start the thread about how unfair it is to Auburn and Duke that Houston gets to play in Texas for the FF?

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Also it was more than “lying about a bbq”

It was being a repeat offender and the fact he told the parents of the recruits to lie to the NCAA if they were ever questioned that got him show caused.

This discussion is so old.

Not even worth the energy.

 

[Zues1]

Two show causes and a perv in the final four.

Good guys definitely finish last

And a guy that’s blind in one eye

 

[Hoggervol]

You saying that Pat Adams is calling the game?

 

[VOL720]

Will we ever make a Final Four? I can't believe Auburn is going to another Final Four within 6 years! Then they more than likely are going to sign the top 3-point shooter in the nation that is 6'7" and shoots 39% from three! They already have his twin brother, who's committed to them. He is a clone of his brother. Can we please get a break?

Pearl and Golden are turds who don’t deserve the good things this sport keeps giving them, but Sampson got crucified for something that in hindsight really wasn’t a big deal.

He got show caused for making more phone calls to recruits than he was allowed. That’s it. He wasn’t making “strong ass offers” or putting players in fake classes to keep them eligible or having other people take the SAT for his recruits like some other coaches in recent years who suffered less punishment.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I guess the one silver lining... at least we know Pearl and Golden BOTH won't be in the championship game.

Of the 4 here's the order of who I'd rather see win it all

1. Houston
2. Duke
3. Auburn
4. Florida

 

[WarDamnVols]

1. Auburn
2. Houston




3. Duke


4. Florida

Which means we got a Duke/Florida championship to look forward to.

This is correct. I'll pull for Houston. Florida I hope loses with that pervert coach

 

[SAPPER 5]

Anyone but Florida.

 

[JMSqb11]

I have no problem rooting for Bruce. Now Broome and CBM on the other hand…..

 

[SGMVols]

I hope Houston wins so all the “offense is what really matters” crowd will shut up.

 

[Boston Vol]

I know that it’s hard to compare now to 25 years ago, but still pretty damn remarkable.

 

[omghulkhands]

And our offense was pretty good this year lol.

I’m trying to have restraint and not reply to every person complaining about scoring or players that can/cant score etc…

As if it’s so simple you can waive a magic wand and go from 17th best offense in the country to 4th.

 

[omghulkhands]

KenPom isn’t transitive though. This is basically meaningless and Norlander should know better

This is why I hurt so much for Barnes. The man who goes about the game and his life the right way just can’t get the break. Meanwhile cheaters, liars and overall scum continue to get rewarded. I’ll take the Barnes run over the Pearl AU run because unlike Auburn and their pathetic win at all cost mentality, UT actually has a program to be proud of and not just a team that wins. A “program” encompasses more than the results on the court, its the development of young people athletically, academically, spiritually, morally, charitably etc. Barnes programs oozes all of that, Pearl’s once in a lifetime team is the antithesis of that.

I’d suspect Barnes believes 1 John 2:15-17
