I know USC is super talented and extremely long.   What were they missing this year?   I guess guard play?  They didn’t really dominate and the one game I saw they seemed to have no hustle (defending 3ball vs UConn).

Everybody says they’ll be a tough out and go far in the tourney, but I’m not sure I’m buying.  I also watched Wichita St vs Houston and those Shockers were frickin hungry.   Sell me on USC.   This tourney’s gonna be a total shit show IMO.

They have very limited guard play , like you said . Can't win without the guards , outside shooting , etc.

I haven't really paid attention to USC basketball. I never do to be honest.

Oregon is doing about as good as I expected.... 

One day Colorado will get where they belong... the final four atleast... the Buffaloes always look so talented and good but then flop where they shouldnt... 

Oregon State was the real surprise... ngl I saw them upsetting Tennessee... but not OK State. I expected Tennessee to blow their load early... 

USC is another surprise... I had Drake or Wushock beating them... 

I didnt expect UCLA to beat Michigan Jr.

Yet along get to the sweet 16.

Do a quick check on the thing called Colorado Buffaloes Basketball.

We could have Blair Wilson, Micheal Morandis, Chancey Billups, David Harrison, McKinley Wright, etc on the same team and we'd be glad just to make it past the 2nd round.

I'll help ya out friend.

Y I K E S talk about blowing a load... 

Why can't yall get the job done? 

I dont even hate the Buffaloes I actually like em... 

But I cant really point fingers... 

My Buckeyes have been... on the fritz lately... 

I still remember 2014... we didn't even make it out of Ohio... we lost to Dayton in Dayton... 

Duke lost to Mercer that same year... and cost me 200 dollars...

There's just not that much emphasis on Colorado Basketball (or Colorado Sports tbh).

Colorado will forever be Football/Cross-country.  Men's basketball is almost an afterthought.

Look on the brightside...

Off-Topic.  I hate Lidia already.  Then she has the option to DELAY into combo if she wants to.  

Her jab pressure reminds me of Kasumi.  There's not much Ganny can do against it.

Colorado will be back on track in no time... 

Now a few programs that surprised me in a bad way:

Kentucky- WTF happened this year... 

Duke- Just pure bad luck this year... 

North Carolina- Weird season 

Michigan Jr. - the Spartans couldn't pull it together... 

Texas- Hippity Hoppity the longhorns pulled a Floppity... 

Iowa State- Where were they?

Lidia's Jab Pressure gives me Tekken 5 Steve Flashbacks... 

Her sidestep moves hit hard and do stun too if they hit... even if they don't land the blockstun on em is something to behold...

Iowa State- Where were they? 

 

Kentucky -- Freshman, learning curve, and NBA turnover. (A Calipari Staple.)

UNC -- Roy Williams being Roy Williams. (See his Kansas Jayhawk days)

Texas -- They simply can't get over the hump. (Same as Tennessee under Rick Barnes (Texas OLD Basketball coach.). Recruiting has been an issue for them also.

Michigan State -- Supposedly rebuilding.

Iowa State -- No Hoiberg (coach) and they're no longer using Transfer U approach.  As a result...2 wins this season.

Duke -- Players aren't meshing and pretty much the same situation Kentucky is in.  Sign of the times.

The REAL school that needs to be on this list is Virginia.

Oh you gonna hate it...Trust.

I already do... they nerfed the damage on all of Nina's Command grab combo's... Double arm breaker does about the same damage as Crab Hold into Nightmare Triangle... which is next to zilch for a brain strain of an input of neutral, Back,forward Back 3+4... into another neutral Half Circle,Back 1+2... 

Now it has to be off a counter or I'm doing it all for a penny of damage... 

Is this what it feels like to be a Lee Player Frosty?

Lee??? Who's that. (Answer: Yes)

I'm full-time Ganny main now.  More damage...less work.

Also what happened to Washington and Utah awhile back they looked alright... now... not so much

Give Utah time...they'll get a squad and cause fits soon enough.  Right now BYU and Utah State got the stones in that state...For now.

As for Washington...Idk what the hell happened there.  Too much talent in that area alone for them to be the way they are now.
