Am I seeing this right that Ben Simmons has never made a three-pointer in the NBA?

That's correct

 

[Hewson]

And most of his very few attempts have been end of quarter heaves,
Dude's afraid to attempt threes. (And Fultz was the guy with the broken shot!)

It's their biggest issue come playoff time.

 

[iron yuppie]

That's astonishing. Even people like Anderson Varejao used to make the occasional three.

nobody i know wants to do a march madness pool this year. so i made a meaningless bracket.

duke, michigan, k-state, kentucky - UK wins it all.

Duke, Texas Tech, Purdue, KY
Purdue to win it all.

$1 Million is mine baby.

I, too, have Purdue. But just to the final four.

Duke, Michigan, Purdue, UNC

Duke over UNC in the final. Very chalky tournament this year.

I do have Murray State in the elite 8, Wofford knocking off Kentucky, and Yale playing Belmont in the round of 32. Those are the upset specials.

 

[Hewson]

My upset specials include St Louis taking out Va Tech, Vermont playing Murray State (12 vs 13) in round 2 then VT advancing, Oregon, St Mary's and Georgia State winning first round games.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I have Oregon as well but I don't really consider that an upset .. just funky seeding.

I also took Vermont.

 

[Hewson]

Currently ranked #1 overall in the world after Minnesota beat Louisville. (Along with a few million of my closest friends)

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I am in dead last in my office pool. Right where I want to be.

 

[Hewson]

2 losses so far, Vermont & St. Mary's.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Do you have UCF bearing duke for the national championship

 

[Hewson]

Look 7 posts up

 

[LuckyNumber7]

No

 

[Hewson]

Then yes I have UCF beating Duke in the Rose Bowl to win the College World Series on an overtime goal on a wrist shot from the right circle in a driving rain in the Astrodome.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

They can’t be in the astrodome if they’re already in the rose bowl stupidhead

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I picked a lot of day one upsets.

They all covered. So good for me there.

They also almost all lost. So bad for my bracket.

 

[Hewson]

Rose Bowl game which has been moved to the Astrodome since Pasadena is under siege from rampaging gumper bunnies. Do try and keep up.

 

[Hewson]

13-3, also ended up losing Seton Hall, PJ Carlesimo should be fired.

Need to get on the Wofford bandwagon

Ended up with 10 points on day one. A good day 2 away from being right in the thick of things. My pool rests on Purdue and Michigan. If those two teams make the final 4 I win, if they don't I lose. With so many people taking Duke and UNC ya had to mix it up a little to have a shot

In the big money pool I'm in that I finished 12th out of 700 last year I am currently in... checks notes... 583rd place. Right where I want em

Apparently.
I went to bed when Hall went up 60-59. Woke up to see they got pounded down the stretch. Went from down 67-66 to down 84-66, never a good thing to give up a 17-0 run in last 5 minutes of a game.

Big East is awful this year, and Wofford is really good. finished the season ranked 19th, and their conference is very underrated. They can shoot the lights out. Magee set the all time mark for career threes last night. They're going to be a handful for Kentucky.

[laz]I thought this was the NBA thread, but here I am suffering through pages of March Madness talk.[emoji35][/laz]

 

[Hewson]

It's Dave C's fault, he started it Dad.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

There's only so much lebron bashing we can handle

 

[Hewson]

A national treasure.

pfft, get back to us when the nhl thread doesn't say 2015 anymore, mister moderator.

Playoff bound "unable to be a leader and definitely not as good as Lonzo will be" D'Angelo Russell officially eliminates the Lakers from the playoffs.

I bet the Pelicans would have wanted him.
