Radford and Gardner-Webb tipping off. Radford gets to host the Big South title game as a 2 seed for the second year in a row. Vid related was last year's ending.
Hello anons. It's my first year watching the NCAAB and I have a question. If Blackshear is VA Tech's best player then why is he not an NBA prospect but Alexander-Walker is? I'm assuming this isn't the only case where the best player isn't a prospect but someone else on his team is so I'm just trying to understand why this happens?
James Phillips
Being a good collegiate player doesn't necessarily translate into having the skillset needed to play professionally.
Leo Kelly
So it's potential they're looking at then? I guess that makes sense that a 6'5 guard would be a better NBA fit than a 6'10 forward. Is that all they're looking at though or are there other factors in play? Because AW seems to be projected at 15-17 but BS isn't even projected to go in the 2nd round.
Bentley Lee
The NBA largely drafts on potential, yes. Size is an important factor as well because the NBA is fucking huge compared to the majority of CBB. Look at draft boards for the last decade or so and you'll see younger players dominate them; the NBA wants youth so the teams can maximize development in their own system/as a full-time job. A young phenom 18 year old with ridiculous metrics will always be valued over a 23 year old senior who had a stellar college career (if he was that great he wouldn't still be in college).
Nathan Martinez
If anything I'd say Robinson is the best player on VT, but Alexander-Walker fits the NBA mold better. He's athletic, younger, can make tough shots, better defender. imo he's a little small for the NBA, but who knows maybe he'll grow an inch or two. Blackshear just looks kind of awkward out there even though he's effective.
Aiden Parker
I see. Thanks a lot for the explanation anons. I'm still confused about Zion though. I've only seen 2 games of his so far and he got his eye poked on one of em so it's more like 1 and a half game but he seems to be too small to be an NBA PF. He also seems really heavy though he is very athletic. I guess I need to see more games since admittedly I've only seen a small sample.
Oliver Baker
bubble shrinkage if Wofford can't take care of ETenn st
Thomas Jenkins
I love March madness. We already have reports of 5 white guys saying their white girlfriends cheated on them with some big black cocks from the basketball team

God is taking Liberty to the championship to prove evangelical Christianity is the one true religion
Xavier Lewis
Wisconsin blew a 23 pt lead
William Myers
God ain't touching evangelicals with a 50 foot pole these days.
Bentley Hughes
Furman about to be bounced by UNC-Greensboro. Does that shrink the bubble?
Bentley Fisher
Weakens the case for 2 bid SOCON, but now 3 bid SOCON isn't entirely off the table.
Matthew Flores
Name one good team they've beaten
Eli Miller
Won @Carolina last year
William Howard
guess we're doing daily /cbb/ threads.
i'm okay with this.
Jayden Mitchell
That's neat. So they beat a team that probably won't even make the NIT, so how are they going to fare against a 10 seed in the tourney?
William Myers
UNC was a 2 seed last year
Bentley Brooks
You're talking about UNC? They LOST against them last year.
Aiden King
They lost against them this year. They beat them last year.
Charles Morales
I didn't know 2017 was last year. Last season is the term you're looking for. And using that kind of logic is pretty terrible, when we're talking about a different team THIS season.
Juan Garcia
It's not a different team though. It's the same exact guys only 15 months older.
Austin Hughes
Again, name one good team they've beaten this season, not last season or the season before. You look at a team like Wichita State last year, they returned everyone on their roster too, ranked #3 in the country based on that fact, and ended the season with a first round exit.
Nathan Lopez
at UConn, we already had a case of some white dude getting cucked and his white girlfriend getting fucked by one of our forwards.
can't imagine how stretched she is from that huge BBC.
Wyatt Martin
That Wichita State team had good wins though. Way better wins than the Marshall team they played. Doesn't that mean they should have won?
Caleb James
Definitely not. And they were arguably worse than the year before, even though they returned all of their players. Case in point, it's pretty stupid to base this year's Wofford team on last year's, considering they were in the CBI last year so the UNC argument is irrelevant.
Anthony King
This thread is a fucking diaper.
Jackson Adams
what are the qualifications to get into the NIT? Because I'm pretty sure that, barring something incredible, we aren't going dancing anytime soon :(
