Judging by the way Okafor played last night, he needs a few more years before he’s ready for the NBA.

Or, you could attend UW Madison which turns out Cookie-Cutter Communists by the thousands each and every year!

Yeah, the sports are great, but don’t kid yourself that you’ll be getting any semblance of a ‘conservative’ education in our UW System.

I think “one and done” has done a lot to damage college basketball.

Most who jump to the pros are immature, and don’t know how to handle the situation. And most of those who jump also end up leaving the NBA after a short stint. With no college education, most end ul flipping burgers. The lucky ones can at least play pro ball in Europe.

Her problem is with the NBA’s rules not with Duke’s players.

Eliminate the likes of March Madness and bring back the old Freshman not eligible.

I like Coach K. I didn’t see much of the game, but I saw one important part. It was right after halftime. He looked cool, calm and all business. It’s hard to beat a coach with his experience. Bo Ryan is a great coach, too.

Coach K was starting to get criticized for having too many white players. Nobody can criticize him on that any more.

Grade school kids are playing in national tournaments. It’s not like the old days any more. It used to be that teams with upperclassmen could intimidate the freshman. It doesn’t work so good any more. The freshmen are better athletes with more experience. You’re putting team experience up against athleticism, and the athleticism is going to win most of those games.

Coach K wants to win. He will find a way to win. He’s an old Soldier.

Congrats to Duke,but I was rooting for team who had stars that are actually going to college & not just doing semester tryout for NBA.

A perfectly valid opinion. She's certainly entitled to have that affect her rooting interest. Not sure why people would get worked up over it.

If I am a college freshman, and someone waves a contract in front of me with eight figures on it, I’d probably figure that college can wait.

If I decided to stick it out, and wreck a knee, I’d finish school and be kicking myself with the other knee for a long time.

But McCaskill doesn’t like it – although she doesn’t explain why highly talented young black men shouldn’t be able to leave college early to pursue their careers, unlike talented young white men or Hispanic men who skip college altogether to play baseball.

I can't believe that I am siding with Clair McIdiot on this. The "talented young white men or Hispanic men who skip college altogether to play professional baseball" are not taking up a valuable seat at a college or university -- often at taxpayer expense -- under the false pretext of improving their lives and advancing their job prospects through higher education. The vast majority of guys who skip college to play baseball practice their trade in near obscurity for low pay that barely covers their living expenses, with little chance of making the big leagues. They do not pretend to be students, pretending to go to class, where they pretend to study, take exams, and get passing grades.

Obvioudly Clarie is a racist. She would rather have talented young black men serve a White University than enter the paid labor market and earning an avg $24.8. Entering the NBA 3 year early can increase earning potential 75%!

Shut your pie hole Claire! I’m not interested in what you think about Basketball players or colleges or tournaments involving same. You prove your idiocy every time you open that pie hole.

Jesus. Can't politicians keep their noses out of anything?

Her problem might might not be with the “kids” but she is pissing on their victory.

Gumble said Bo Ryan was a class act last night? Ryan started this. The same Bo Ryan who said Duke played Globetrotter basketball when Duke beat Wisconsin by 10 this season—on Wisconsin's court.
Bo Ryan is a classless POS.
