Because Barrett plays a really shitty brand of basketball.


Will be perfect for the Knicks.

They didn’t play that well in the tournament. Is few bounces go the other way and they would have been knocked out by UCF.

K is top three, no doubt. But in recent years he’s tried to chase titles by accumulating HS dream teams for a one year run. Hasn’t really worked the last 4 years. He’s now a glorified AAU coach.

All time: K, Dean, Wooden

Coach K underperforms with the talent he has, it needs to be said.

Since you ask, pretend to really pay attention to the answer.

Every game is different.

Even players who will never go pro can shoot.

There is a huge variation in shooting percentage by non elite players.

So an ordinary guy can make 4 in a row from 3 pt line.
Its not weird or a religious miracle.

If the #2 and #3 guys have great days and your #1 is close to his usual, you win.

Michigan state hit from 3.
Their big had a great game.
He was not all star the next game.
But vs duke he carried the day.

Are you a troll or 15?

For everyone else:
One of Villanova championships featured a team that had lost 3 times to ewing and gtown.
In the finals two Villanova guys had career days.
They hardly missed. They won by a hair.

It happens in hoops.

On the other side of that coin, winning the whole thing in 2010 with a solid but certainly not great roster was impressive.

Rat-Faced Coach K stopped coaching years ago. That’s why.

Rupp did it over decades with just white guys.

Wooden got alcindor and Walton and cruised three years each.

Rex and his fairy dog could have won with the two all time best centers before shot clock.

Dean impressed.

Because #3 and #10 were pretty much dog shite in the tournament.

10 was dog shite all year:

They lost because Duke's bench was super weak.

It’s basketball. Best out of 7 MSU doesn’t win more than 2 games at best.

Sports.

There’s a long list of NBA scrubs who got drafted around #10 overall as well, and Reddish wasn’t even good at Duke. The NBA draft is a crapshoot.
