Fell off the map after that.<BR/><BR/>ajooja - I stopped watching the NBA years ago. But I still enjoy the NCAA tournament. I used to be crazy for College Hoops for the entire season, but now that it is "one and done" for some of it's premier players there is no continuity. Duke, in general, and Tyler Hansbrough at UNC are welcome exceptions to the rule. I would have loved to have seen 3 or 4 years out of Greg Oden and/or Kevin Durant. Just doesn't happen anymore.<BR/><BR/>WR - It's an American College Hoops thing. S'okay. We don't get how anyone can watch darts on TV over here. Different strokes, ya know. :)Verdant Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139591223231428391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-88942942934526973752009-03-17T13:08:00.000-04:002009-03-17T13:08:00.000-04:00NCAA Tournament?Remember Donald Sutherland inspect...NCAA Tournament?<BR/><BR/>Remember Donald Sutherland inspecting the troops in 'The Dirty Dozen'?<BR/><BR/>Never heard of it...white rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693920049571164318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-62197932874350704012009-03-17T11:56:00.000-04:002009-03-17T11:56:00.000-04:00Guys who had great college careers but did not do ...Guys who had great college careers but did not do well in the NBA are often forgotten. It's sad, but it's one of the reasons I quit watching college basketball many years ago.<BR/><BR/>Of course, once my guys all retired from the NBA, I didn't have anyone to root for anymore. I stopped watching basketball altogether.<BR/><BR/>It used to be my favorite sport. I could talk about it for hours. Now, all this March Madness talk grates on me.Sealshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575904083933131458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-44622978264499960712009-03-17T11:46:00.000-04:002009-03-17T11:46:00.000-04:00I guess I didn't ever realize that Notre Dame had ...I guess I didn't ever realize that Notre Dame had a basketball team. That is partly to blame because I don't follow sqeakyball much besides the madness that is March.
