i grew up in the heart of acc country and have a deep seeded hatred for both unc and duke but coby white is so much more fun than zion or any other freshman i've seen this year. i'm glad this freshman class is so stack so that he can just do his thing without receiving the tray young treatment from espn

People hate that we talk about Zion Williamson so much & I don’t get it. His PER is 43.1. Let me say that again. It’s 43.1. 👀. The avg PER is 15. Zion’s PER is the highest in recorded history of college basketball. #Facts @GetUpESPN— Jay Williams (@RealJayWilliams) January 10, 2019

Being a former student athlete myself, the #NCAA is making billions of dollars from these young athletes, so why aren't they paid fairly? Especially when they deal with injuries and their medical bills are not compensated after graduation. #AmateurismIsACon pic.twitter.com/7u8uz0bKAd— Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (@Ahmadinejad1956) March 4, 2019

Got to say, I kind of hope Auburn keeps up the hot streak and wins it all. Doubt it will happen, but it would be easily the most unlikely left field champion since Villanova back in the 80s.
Texas Tech and Virginia winning would be total outliers too.
I'd say this is Tom Izzo's best chance to win a second title.
― earlnash, Saturday, 6 April 2019 01:22 (five years ago) link
I'll watch the games, but my interest is confined to hoping for a close game with some nice plays. Three teams from schools in ex-Confederate states and an Izzo team don't give me much to root for.
― A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 6 April 2019 01:40 (five years ago) link
Haha “ex confederate states”? That’s a strange grudge to still hold (not that there aren’t some folks in those states still holding it the other way too).

That’s a strange grudge to still hold
Well, in my lifetime those ex-Confederate states were still actively Jim Crow segregationist states, and the universities in those states were solid bastions of white privilege, whose traditions of racism have not yet disappeared. So, it is very hard for me to see them as having brand new 'storylines' which don't mention that glaring fact.
