2024 NCAA tournament & bracket discussion

I wish they'd do away with the 3 point shot and go back to old school. When I was in high it still hadn't been implemented at our level.

Nah just move it back 3 ft or so

Most of these guys would still chuck it. I just laugh watching these games. It’s just so ridiculous what the game has become

Purdue and Gonzaga are in a tight one. Fortunately for Purdue, their only chance to lose to a double-digit seed now would be potentially rhe Final Four, which they haven't made since the early 80s, so they'll end a streak one way or the other.

Arizona is the new Pitt.

Since Lute Left I think they've made the final once. The team that lost to Houston in the sweet 16 was a good one. This new era with player transferring in and out, the NIL and whatnot has made the game that us old timers remember a distant memory. I stopped even caring about the NBA a long, long time ago.

I gotta say one area OSU has been lacking is the type of tall 4 man that teams like NC State and others have. Mohamed Diarra is 6'10" and a very good athlete who averages 7.7 rebounds a game, plus he shoots 37% from 3. This is the type of player that many national contenders have but OSU seemingly hasn't had in quite a while.

48 points, didn't shoot a single three and he was a wing

2-16 from 3….definitely keep chucking though

Marquettes offense is just wild rarely in control drives to the bucket and chucking bad 3s. How did they win so many games?

Purdue should be OK, I don't see how Gonzaga stays in it.

I kinda wanna see Eddy vs Burns.

They drive to the basket and have a good 2 opportunity, but kick it out for the 3. It must be coached because they do it all the time.

3 for 20 from 3 pt for Marquette
