I'd give Kentucky a better chance than that. If Kentucky can beat UNC then I think they can beat Uconn.

VCU! VCU! VCU! VCU! VCU! VCU! VCU! VCU! VCU! VCU! VCU! VCU!

[italstallianion]

If you jinx it Flynnatic I'm going to hunt you down. I wanted to post something about it but I've been keeping my mouth shut to hopefully continue letting VCU ride the wave. If I was a moderator and Kansas came back and won, I'd ban you for jinxing it.

[Flynnatic10]

Good thing you're not a mod.

[italstallianion]

See Flynnatic, this is why you're supposed to keep your mouth shut. Rookie mistake.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

VCU is still winning though lol?

[italstallianion]

VCU is still winning though lol?

 

 

You haven't seen the run? They'd be lucky to have the lead in another minute or two. I just spoke early because it's inevitable at this point. Whether or not VCU is clinging onto a lead that was once large doesn't mean that I'm not right about what's going to happen, or that Flynnatic shouldn't have said anything about it.

[Flynnatic10]

Maybe I should jinx UCONN also

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

My bad I wasn't aware VCU had a big lead earlier in the game. I'm not watching.

[italstallianion]

Not funny.

[Flynnatic10]

Well, my team is already out of the tournament so I'm rooting for the underdog.

[italstallianion]

If you jinx the Red Sox like you jinxed VCU, you'll be quickly run out of here.

[Flynnatic10]

It's George Mason 2.0!!!

[italstallianion]

lol NOW you can say something Flynnatic. Not only is Uconn no longer the last #1 to lose to an 11, but it takes a really good Kansas team out of the tournament. Can't wait for UNC/Kentucky.

[jacksonianmarch]

This is absolutely amazing. Either Butler or VCU will be in the championship game

[italstallianion]

vs. Uconn/UNC/Kentucky

[jacksonianmarch]

Shaka Smart is about to get PAID! This guy is gonna land a big time job for big time cash

[Flynnatic10]

Brad Stevens might get PAID if he decides to leave Butler.

[VA Sox Fan]

Very proud of my alma mater VCU!! FINAL FOUR!! YES!!

[Jasonbay44]

This is crazy, I'm definitely pulling for VCU to win it all. I guess in Kentucky/UNC game I want Kentucky to win because I like Brandon Knight, but I don't really care, I just want to see a good game.

[Flynnatic10]

I bet Eric Maynor is gonna go crazy on Twitter!

[italstallianion]

So it's Kentucky vs. Uconn and VCU vs. Butler.

 

Good luck Suns.

[suns]

DEANDRE LIGGINS!

 

BACK TO THE FINAL FOUR!!

 

We'll need luck

[jacksonianmarch]

So....I wonder where Kemba is gonna go in the draft. This kid reminds me a lot of Iverson, without the off the court problems. I could see him as a top 5 pick

[ORS]

I don't think he's nearly as quick as Iverson was coming out of college. They are very similar in the respect that they score a lot because of a high volume of shots, many of which are a poor decision. But, I don't think he has the game to lead the league in scoring like Iverson did.

I see him in the 5-10 category. In my opinion there are two things keeping him from being a top pick at this point, the first one is his shooting percentage as a whole, and the second one (which is far more important in my opinion) is his decision making. He takes (and makes) a lot of ugly looking shots early in the shot clock with men open, and he makes things a lot harder on himself than he has to. I think he could use his senior year to work on that, but I'm obviously biased as a Uconn fan and I don't see him staying, but I don't think he's going to be a top PG until he gets a better playmaking IQ. That said, the Heat should trade up to get Kemba Walker considering how clutch he is and how clutch they aren't.

[yankees228]

I've heard many coaches and scouts say that Iverson, at G'Town, had the quickest first step they've ever seen. AI and Kemba are similar in that they score a lot and make questionable decisions, but Kemba isn't nearly the talent that AI was.

 

EDIT: Didn't realize that I almost copied ORS' post verbatim. But yeah, they probably shouldn't be mentioned together.

[italstallianion]

Not to mention (as ORS also said) that Kemba also doesn't have the off the court issues that Iverson had.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

The off court issues Iverson had was ******** though. I'm sure many of you heard of the bowling alley dispute. Man the things I would do to watch him play.

[snydersminipretzels]

Brad Stevens might get PAID if he decides to leave Butler.

 

He signed a 10 year deal with Butler. He's probably staying there.
