    Yeah I'm in no way trying to defend the current system but 'starving' I just have a hard time believing

    He can block shots. He has no recognizable offensive basketball skills.

    in particular given the fact they have a good portion of their meals provided by the program. i'm talking training table btw, not food credits.

    Exactly. I'm imagining these food credits as like bonus bucks* on top of a meal plan, except even better because I imagine they just give you cash. You eat with the meal plan. The bonus bucks were for your cigarettes**, er, I mean frappucinos and reese's cups for late night studying. Anyway, the point is that any individual on an athletic scholarship at a major sports school can not only eat but eat quite well. These dudes must have dropped their extra food cash at the strip club or something.

    **And, yes, you could buy cigs with your bonus bucks when i was there. Probably can't anymore. Any current students on here?

    Preach.

    The more Shabazz talks the less I care to hear. He reminds me of the saying "better to close your mouth and have people think you a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt"

    I had a really drunk guy tell me his bonus bucks were for when he was ****ed up and needed a dip.

    So someone cited this year as proof of parity in the NCAA. I think it's more a result of dipshits doing the seeding than parity.

    i think the seeding was pretty bad but the teams are a lot closer together nowadays

    Regular season rankings are shit, that's what this tournament proved. And I just heard that duke was 16 in the final poll while y'all were like 23 or something

    No, it's parity. People keep saying UK should have been a 4 seed, and that's super cute in hindsight, and also complete nonsense. They lost 10 games in a weak conference. End of analysis. A straight-faced argument can be made that they should have maybe been a 6 or 7 seed, but any further and the resume simply doesn't back it up.

    UConn was correctly seeded as well.

    I agree.

    Kentucky definitely didn't look like an 8 seed in the sec tournament. There's a reason a lot of people picked them over Wichita state and Louisville.

    Should Michigan State have been a 1 seed?

    Winner. You can quibble with a few seedings here and there. But they were pretty much right. It's parity.

    Really? Two powerhouse programs playing in the championship means there is parity?

    Your Elite Eight:

    Arizona
    UConn
    Kentucky
    Wisconsin
    Florida
    Michigan St
    Michigan
    Dayton

    I'm not seeing it

    Seedings that I had a problem with:

    Creighton a 3 over teams like Louisville and MSU
    Oregon a 7? Laughable
    SLU a 5
    UK had a better resume than UMass
    As did UConn
    UConn had a better resume than 5 seed Oklahoma as well
    UK and Oklahoma were damn near a toss up as far as quality of season yet they were 3 lines apart

    That's all I feel like looking up right now
