The 2016 March Madness Thread

Wow Selden is projected 2nd round-undrafted. Dude fell off hard from HS.

Btw I had the Nova-OU game in my bracket. Other side of the bracket is ****ed tho. Still in the 75th percentile.

Well I hope UNC wins this title since this may as well be their last chance for the next 7-10 years, with Roy Williams not recruiting well and the team possibly facing sanction such as losses of scholarship. Realistically though, I like the chance of Oklahoma, Buddy Hield reminds me of Kemba Walker, and arguably even better.

Hield''s playing style does not resemble Kemba's at all. He's just a shooter who can get to the hole on occasion. Not an exceptional talent outside of his shooting ability, can't really set people up.

Kemba's solid all around and has good PG skills. Hield's not on the level he was on when he left UCONN

FIrst off, Hield this year is better than Kemba ever was at Uconn. And his tournament so far > Walker too

Walker is yes, a slightly better passer and can handle the ball better. That's because he's a point guard. Hield is a better scorer on MUCH MUCH better percentages, a better rebounder, and a better defender.

After OU wins the championship and Buddy averages around 30ppg on insane shooting %'s against insanely good competition, it'll be known as the best run in college history.

LOL at saying he's not on the same level as Kemba. That's completely untrue . Walker was on a better team at Uconn as well, but that's whatever. (Actually, OU is the better team because of Hield, Walker just played with better players)

Hield leading OU to a title does feel a lot like Kemba leading UCONN to a title as a senior. Buddy is the first person since Kemba where I feel like he will definitely make the shots necessary to win in the clutch.

Hield is a better shooter. Maybe a better defender. That's it though. And Kemba's shooting numbers would have been better were he afforded the luxury of being able to catch and shoot all day like Buddy.

Either way, the main point was their playing styles aren't even remotely similar.

What? He's a better scorer. And if you think all Buddy does is catch and shoot all day, then you haven't seen enough buddy. Buddy's afforded the luxury of catching and shooting because he's the best in the nation at it. Is that really your argument? :oldlol:

Just admit you didn't realize buddy scored more on way better percentages than kemba, and he did it in the toughest conference all year with no other nba players surrounding him. He's gonna have the best tournament ever for a guard by monday. Accept it bro.

Put money on Villanova.

[HenryGarfunkle]

Moron above. Do not bet on Villanova.

[chips93]

Buddy makes shots after getting himself open off the ball, running around screens.

He getting shots like ray Allen did in his prime, nobody is leaving him open to double any of buddy's teammates.

[enayes]

Got money on Oklahoma.

Should have an Oklahoma v. NC Final.

When you watch these elaborate intros, in this monster arena, it makes it seem even crazier that these guys don't get paid a penny. :oldlol:

Boring final 4.

[enayes]

The leader "Jahmo Syracuse" on Yahoo's $50K Best Bracket challenge forgot to pick a winner :oldlol:

He has the best bracket right now but he's done :oldlol: , he did remember to put down the final score of the game though. Depending on who he would have chosen, this may have cost him $50K.

:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[enayes]

Rooting for Villanova tonight. Should be a good game.
