2011-2012 NCAA Basketball Thread

Big night on Tobacco Road. UNC vs Duke.


Tight game so far. It's 45-42 so far with 18mins left in the 2nd half.

Shame Georgetown couldn't pull out the W, but hell of a fight.

What an effing ending to that UNC game. Lot of pissy UNC fans right now.

Roy Williams is very questionable when it comes to coaching. He has no concept of when to call timeouts, and the defense on his teams are lacking. Twice this year now, he's allowed a player from the other team to get hot and didn't adjust defensively to them. At some point, you have to say "we are going to make somebody else beat us". He really likes to rely on his talent to much to carry him. He is no Dean Smith, that's for sure.

Mason just had an awesome buzzer beater against VCU.

George Mason vs. VCU: Sherrod Wright buzzer-beater gives Patriots a key CAA win - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/colleges/george-mason-vs-vcu-sherrod-wright-buzzer-beater-gives-patriots-a-key-caa-win/2012/02/14/gIQArYFpER_story.html)

what a classic

Definitely a Valentine's heartbreaker for us VCU fans.

Chico you’re a GMU alum right? DC Tailgate are you a GMU fan too?

It should be a damn good rematch next weekend. You going Chico?

Anyone from teh DC area know of Marcus Thornton playing for William and Merry from Bishop Mcnamara HS in Upper Marlboro?

I think hes the best freshman point guard ive seen in the CAA and has the potential to be one of the best ever from the CAA. The dude is sick. Hes a joy to watch but im gonna hate playing against him for 3 more years. The Tribe could be real good going forward.

Im an alum from GMU and was there when Laranaga was hired and raised the program up from the ashes, but I was raised on VCU basketball. Grew up with a friend who's dad was an assisted coach and worked for VCU until he retired. Used to go to the Big South games as a kid, so got love for VCU.

Probably not gonna do the segal center game, but I always go to the CAA tourny, the semis and final.

I never cared abotu VCU basketball until about 2002 - 2003 when Capel turned the program around. Im really looking foward this the tourney this year. The CAA seems a little weaker this year but the competion is pretty neck and neck. VCU, Mason, Drexel, Georgia State, and ODU all have a legit chance at winning it.

After VCU's win over Nothern Iowa i think if we win against Mason this weekend and go to the finals (maybe even the semi-finals) in the tournement we have a decent chance of getting an at large selection. Hopefully it doesnt come to that.
