i, uh

I don't think you need to head all that way to find Duke objectionable as an institution, they were founded on and funded by cancer and they've continually poo poo on the lower classes in Durham, enabling a murderous police force and most recently killing off an urgently needed light rail system

The Mangum murder case was bullshit but it's hardly new for women to get rung up for killing an abusive partner in self-defense, just something that needs to be fought across the board.

Anyway, good on MSU for getting back into it while Zion was out, now let's hope for a good clean second half where both teams are so stricken with guilt for their schools' crimes that they refuse to play and mutually forfeit, advancing Texas Tech to the final automatically

Wasn't texas tech a whites only university until 1990

I don't think there's a good guy in these battles of institutions and I just root for anyone from our impoverished post industrial cities to succeed

Coco13: Jun 6, 2004; My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.

Honestly, it's a bad look on the FBI that they can take the subway to arrest anyone at Duke or MSU for any number of crimes: illegal payments to players, fake athletic participant enrollments, being Tom Izzo.

This is such a loving lazy Duke team that just stays around through shear merit of Zion and the refs, easily the most angering Duke team despite not having Grayson Allen or a Plumlee and despite Zion seeming like an okay enough guy just on shear NCAA fuckery.

1990?

I mean, these things can be Googled, their first Black student matriculated in 1961 which is shamefully late but not out of keeping with other schools in former slave states. And they had Latinx and east Asian international students well before then, which not all schools accepted.

You just know that Dray sat back and did absolutely nothing when Izzo screamed like a lunatic at him.

Zion looks like a Charles Barkley but stronger and also somehow jumps like Vince Carter.

Theoretically he shouldn't be possible.

Pakistani Brad Pitt: Nov 28, 2004; Not as taciturn, but still terribly powerful...

Is it just Zion or does Michigan St. suck under the basket? Everytime they have the ball 2 feet away its total hesitation then a missed layup.

Not the same type of player (of course), but physically that's kind of an apt comparison yeah.

I think the Malone comp for me isn't a tallness thing, but an "Absolute Unit" thing, just totally built without it weighing him down really.

After a lovely start to the tournament, These last few days have delivered some good stuff.

On the other hand, gently caress Duke.

On the other other hand, Zion.

if zion isn't perfect evidence of why the one-and-done rule needs to be done and they need to just let these grown rear end men go pro, then i don't think perfect evidence exists.

If Duke shoots 33% or lower from 3, then I think Texas Tech will have a chance, and UVA certainly will (or maybe Auburn, since they seem blessed by some sort of blood magic). But if they have one of their games where they hit half or more of their 3s plus you're dealing with Zion, then no one touches them.

like i keep thinking in my mind of Zion as "incredible physical specimen who decided to play basketball" and then he makes moves like that and I'm reminded he can hoop.
