The U's got a pretty good squad this year. I've never really remembered them being a good basketball school but they should rise up in the rankings after tonight.


Will probably be like #17 or 18 now at least.

Miami had a really fun, scrappy squad in the early/mid-2000's led mainly by this dude, The Flying Puerto Rican. Check out this dude's hops. This was in High School.



A fucking P.R. does not need to be flying through the air like that.

And Robert Hite, who had a cup of tea with the Heat in about '07. Great shooter in college.

Other than that, in my era, the team that played the DJ Augustin Longhorns in the tourny in I think '08 was the only Canes team to really get close to being somewhat relevant.

Exciting times indeed. We're definitely tourny bound, but this team looks like they want to keep the mojo going in ACC play.

And the whole new news with the investigation? Great day.

Nah, Diaz/Hite were there from about 03-06 which was just after those two had left. Tim James was on those late 90's Miami teams as well. The Canes don't have too shabby of a history considering they only joined D-1 in '85. Can't forget ole' Rick Barry.

The best thing about the Canes is that Larranaga has them playing DEFENSE. They switched to man last year, was a down year, but you look at that effort tonight and you can see that they're getting at it on the defensive end with a passion, it's paying off. They're buying in to his philosophy. This team is literally getting stronger every game.

Butler lost tonight after that amazing game winner against Gonzaga. Florida was in a game early, but rolled late. I would love to see a Miami/UF meeting in the tourny.

Amazing finish in the... HOFSTRA / DREXEL GAME. :mark

Meh, I knew Duke was overrated when Kentucky almost beat them with a bunch of freshman while missing their point guard. I said that early on. Same thing with Louisville. Kentucky, with a bunch of freshman almost beat them AT Louisville while missing 13 free throws. Louisville wins by 3.

I'm really liking Kansas right now. They might just win it all and get some redemption for Ghetto Anthony.

Snaer is a great scorer and he just has that "it factor", I guess. Don't really know the right word for it but I love his potential. I also love his ability to take over games down the stretch. I think he'll be a good pro.
