I just don't get into the whole would haves and could haves. To each their own. I'm hedged on like 5 different bets right now, so this tourney has been great for me lol

Why in the heck did FSU not foul with 11 seconds left? UM missing all sorts of free throws and you don't foul??? 

This seemed very fishy considering the line was FSU +4.5 and Hamilton tells his players to back off only down 4 with 11 seconds left. That's an eternity. Virginia was down 4 to Louisville with 0.9 seconds left AND WON! Either Hamilton is absolutely clueless or he bet his entire contract on FSU +4.5. His post game interview when asked about it didn't help matters either...I gotta feeling more is gonna come from this interview. He acted like he got caught shaving points and got flustered.

That end of game was sketchy and the explanation even more shady.

"We didn't lose the game there" (or something to that effect.. you didn't try and win it there either. At the very least it's a bad look as a coach. I get it if you're down three possessions or you're down two and them needing only a FT to make it three. I'd still try and go for the win though.

Odd to say the least. Not great strategy either.

On the Beilein topic, he’s obviously doing a great job at Michigan, but I think as we look at IU/Archie and have so many conversations about how long it should take him to get things rolling, Michigan had great patience with Beilein. 

Michigan knew they had their guy and they gave him time, and now it’s paid off.  His first 5 seasons at Michigan Beilein went  92-77, missing the tournament twice and never getting past the 2nd round. 

Im not saying it should take Archie 5 years, just saying if you think you have “your guy”at a program, patience and giving him time to develop the program/culture are huge.

So you're not really a College Basketball fan. As USPS says "it always delivers".

I'm not. Just don't really enjoy it. I would much rather watch an NBA game. Outside of IU games I probably watch a max of 5 college games a year. It's been hard for me to get into the tournament without having my team to root for.

So why watch any of it including IU basketball? I don't enjoy football, so I don't watch any games. It's easy

Because I love IU and I love IU basketball. It's different when I like a team or a player. I have a vested interest in the outcome of the game. I just don't enjoy college basketball enough to sit down and watch a game between two teams I don't care about.

Exactly the same way, just the opposite for me with the Pacers. Not that difficult of a concept lol.
