NCAA Basketball 2022-23

Anyone watching the Kentucky-Michigan State game? 

One of my favorite college basketball coaches versus my least favorite of all time. Good guys up 36-34 at half.

After slow start, play picked up late in 1H and just now starting 2H in Indy for Cats/Sparty(36-34 MSU).

That wasn't that bad of a loss back then. Dracula could ball.

Watching Wallace is mildly embittering here. 

[KingBobo81 534]

Wow, I really wish we could have gotten Cason Wallace.

Went all in. Kentucky and Duke are the toughest recruiting opponents in college basketball. Not to mention Kentucky had been on him longer. 

We'll get our share. It's not like I'm looking at our backcourt feeling like we've come up short. 

Kohler for Michigan State has no business being out there other than to soak up minutes. He is terrible.

Lol.

Cuse down a dozen to Colgate with under 10 to play in 2H. 

[Underdog 28544]

Big O got away with a couple. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

Wheeler has been really good. He seems to be forged of a hotter fire.

[shadow_operative 15932]

this game is fun. 

[Underdog 28544]

Sparty honk can shoot. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

gotta set up an early shot for hauser, and crash the glass, imo.

[shadow_operative 15932]

wow.

great inbounds play by sparty on the fly. 

[Underdog 28544]

That was rather easy.

[Underdog 28544]

UL loses at home again, this time to App St. 

Cuse lost at home to Colgate, rough night for ACC. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

i like how all of the best teams now just casually have a guy or two who's built like prince ibeh but with handle and some offensive skill. athletes these days are just insane.

Part 2

[shadow_operative 15932]

Sissoko been awesome since Tshiebwe went out. great win for Sparty.

[Brian Fantana 6677]

MSU is salty AF

 

[Underdog 28544]

UK really had no semblance of an offense once Big O fouled out, not too surprising for a Cal coached team. 

[SL Xpress 7513]

I love seeing Calipari lose. I almost like it as much as seeing Texas win. At times, like the tournament last year, even more. 

[SL Xpress 7513]

Now we get two coaching legends leading blue blood programs matching up head to head.

Norm Roberts versus Jon Scheyer!

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

I hate these neutral court CBB so much. Give me Kansas at Cameron or Duke at Phog.

[Pancho 44688]

It’s the Champions Classic that has been played since 2011 and only features these 4 teams. It was put together on purpose. 

[Brian Fantana 6677]

Why is this game still delayed??

Because they had to wait for Kentucky and MSU to leave the court before they could start warming up?

They're inconveniencing me, unacceptable

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

It’s a cheap early season money grab for rating$especially when the average Joe doesn’t know it’s going to be played in an nba arena 600 miles from each campus

What’s wrong with you man? Complaining about great programs playing early season non-conference basketball games?

I’m not. But give me the real deal.

[Brian Fantana 6677]

Duke looks several steps behind Kansas

[Brian Fantana 6677]

Didn't look like a flop to me.

[shadow_operative 15932]

outstanding defense from kansas. man, if they'd landed that galley oop... 

LOL that official got shoved like 5 rows deep.

[shadow_operative 15932]

watching my guy KJ off the ball is so fun. non stop energy. and not too many guys in CBB built like him. 

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Didn't know Jai Lucas was now on Scheyer's bench.

Yeah, hired him from Calipari.

Scheyer also hired a prior bag woman for Nike. He's got this recruiting game figured out about as well as anyone can at this stage. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

annnnd we've found our newest duke white boy who everyone will hate. lol

and to be clear i'm not saying that filipowski deserves it, but he's gonna get it. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

huge shot by Dick.

big time answer by Duke.

Gradey Dick with the oop to take the lead! 

[shadow_operative 15932]

Gradey Dick going ham.

[MrX 723]

Coach K weeping at that Jon Scheyer coaching down the stretch. 

[MrX 723]

Dick gonna be a hard problem for the Big 12 this year 

[SL Xpress 7513]

Those KU games look like potential wars on the hardcourt, to me. Both Harris and Wilson look waaaaaay better than last year. McCullar looks improved and he was pretty salty last year. He looks healthy again. Dick is a clear national freshman of the year candidate, although he may not even win freshman of the conference with George at Baylor. Don't know what they're going to do at the 5. I like shadow_operative's guy, KJ Adams, but he'll have to battle it out with Udeh, Ejiofor, and maaaaybe Clemence?

Their other superstar frosh, MJ Rice, is down with whatever flu bug has been going around. Didn't even make the trip. He'll be a factor for them. 

Harris not being able to shoot from outside is a problem. The team three point shooting looks like it's going to be just as bad as ours, outside of Dick. KU is athletic, but I don't believe they're as athletic as we are. Should be fun!

If they win the NC again this year I'll get imma to change my username to this

He looks like pretty much the same player, which is nothing to sneeze at. Elite defender, can shoot if the opportunity arises. Average/below average ball handler.

He also hurt his back again early in the game. He shrugged it off, but something to watch. He missed about 1/3 of our season last year because of it and it's been a recurring issue for him his entire career.

[MrX 723]

Kansas has a size problem (Not relevant to our squad) but they look resilient, and you know they’re gonna be well coached. Can they make enough threes?  They looked a little flummoxed on the wings. 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

Didn't look like a flop to me.

Does 2 flops by the same player = ejection? Or can you get infiniteness class B technical fouls?
