NCAA Tournament 2025

I'm sure she will somehow blame racism or something.

UConn certainly didn't act very equitable.

He's in the house The Admiral built. He's used to taking an L there.

Olajuwon >>>>>>>> Robinson

Olajuwon >>>>>>>> Robinson

But what about Duncan?

[BASS]

But what about Duncan?

Non-comparable, different positions.

Duncan is either #1 or #2 pf all time depending if you want a guy like him or a guy like Malone or Barkley.

Olajuwon is probably 4th or 5th best center all time. Kareem. Wilt, Russell, Olajuwon.

[HOGSRUNWILD]

Yeah, I'm a huge Robinson fan, about as big a fan as you will find.  Hell, he was a big part of why I went to the Academy, but the Dream was a better center.

[Doc Hogaday]

Olajuwon >>>>>>>> Robinson

Oh I know that, although I wouldn't include that many ">"s in there. I wasn't being objective. The Admiral is just one of my favorite players of all-time.

Robinson WAS 32-16 head-to-head vs Olajuwon over their careers, though.

[vegashog]

despite winning two rings and being a two time player of the year, robinson has somehow always seemed underrated to me.

100%.  And, had Jordan not retired it is highly likely The Dream doesn't have two championship rings.

[animal]

My memory has faded here but did Robinson win one without Duncan?

Count me as a big fan of Hakeem O...probably my favorite center growing up other than Big O.

[obijuana]

I can still remember the energy surrounding Houston vs. Arkansas at Barnhill in '84. The Dream vs Joe Kleine.

Hogs 73-68.

[Doc Hogaday]

No. Won it in '99 (Duncan's rookie year, whom they were only in position to draft bc Robinson was out the previous season w/ injury) and '03. The Admiral announced he was retiring before the 2002-03 and went out a champ.

[Doc Hogaday]

Maybe this will be Sampson's year. He probably deserves it but I've never really liked that motherfucker.

So there are 2 of us on this board. He can obviously coach, but hated him since his OU days. His brand of basketball isn't quite as boring as it was back then, but fuck that guy. I hope he never gets one. Go Gators.

[Doc Hogaday]

If Florida wins tomorrow it will be the best bracket I've filled out in my life. Started doing these in 6th grade. 98.9 percentile in the ESPN app bracket challenge.

And Hogfan58 will kick my butt.

I think I had 12 of the sweet 16, 6 of the elite 8, and the final four perfect so far.

Congrats Hogfan. Helluva bracket

My first bracket was also in 6th grade when I spent 2 weeks of my $5 weekly allowance to enter my neighbor's office pool. 1994. Hogs won it all and I won it all. Four hundred and twenty smackers, which for a 12-year old, was approximately 6 billion dollars. Probably spent it all w/in a week on baseball cards, posters, and Sega Genesis games.

Fast forward a year, the Sunday paper always had a blank bracket in it on Selection Sunday. I filled in the seeds as the announcements were made, folded it up, and put it in my pocket. It was time for Sunday night church, and I sat by a friend on a back pew instead of my family so I could fill out the bracket during service. I woulda gotten away w/ it too if I hadn't been too eager to show my Dad right after we got home. Bad night for me. Self-jamm.

My punishment was that I couldn't get back in my neighbor's pool that year. It sucked. My Dad secretly put mine in there anyway. I found out about this right after the 1995 game. I would have went back-to-back if it weren't for Toby fucking Bailey and the meddling O'Bannons.

It's been pretty much downhill since.

And BTW, the guy in 10th that has Houston winning is going to beat Hogfan58 by 60 if the Cougars win.

[Hogfan58]

Is it just me or is the game starting early this year? I thought it always started around 8:15.

I think I bitched enough that they moved it up a half hour.

[Show-Me Hog]

Houston is unbelievable on the offensive glass.

[Cornhogio]

Serious defense.
