NCAA Basketball 2022-23

[Frieda’s Boss 181]

I just turned this on a few minutes ago, but these have to be Big 10 officials just absolutely hosing San Diego State over and over again, right?  

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

They won and had fewer fouls than Ohio State idk

Black is on the bench now with 26 points (9-11 FG) and 6 assists, as a 6'7" freshman with great length. i continue to marvel at the basketball talent of young people these days. there so many players who would have been considered unicorns just 15-20 years ago. 

Dallas area high school basketball may be unmatched in the nation. Last year Texas had 5 McDonald's all-americans and all of them came from the metroplex.

Actually finished with contact at the rim a few plays ago. Something that he didnt do frequently on the 40. 

[Catdaddyhorn 3,444]

You can tell Tommy Lloyd really emphasizes player moment. Ive never Ramey move as much without the ball as he has been during his time on the court.

i've felt that the metroplex has been the best for some time now. just a crazy amount of talent there, year on year.

Ramey finished with 17/4/2 last night for Zona on 6/9 FG, 3/5 from the arc.

I really wanted him to come to Tech, would have been huge for our guard experience. Always been a fan, gutty player even if he is prone to the occasional boneheaded play. Kind of reminds me of Josh Perkins at Gonzaga a few years back in that regard.

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Louisville is remarkably bad. What has happened to that program? I'm not sure they could beat the top 5 Texas HS basketball teams.

Tech up 44-13 with 15:46 left in the 2nd half. Currently on a 24-0 run.

Side note, they really need to do something to fix the court in Maui when they host these tourneys. People are sliding all over the floor, just begging to get someone hurt.

Good Lord, just got home from work and turn on the game...  Ass kicking to the extreme. 

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

I'm starting to cringe any time anyone drives the ball. That floor is a hazard. It must be brand new for this tourney.

Barely playing D2 basketball right now lol

I'd go as far as to say they're a good deal worse than any of the other 3 cupcakes Arkansas has played so far

Going out on the limb here and say you nailed this one square on the head.  

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Glad Adams put the end of the bench in for the final 10. Someone was going to get hurt

I think the janitor got carried away with the polishing and buffing last night.

Or the humid, tropical air combined with the AC.

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Might be an unpopular opinion but pressing for the last 10 minutes of a game when you're down by 40, the other team has cleared the bench out so you don't get futher embarrassed, and on a floor that's causing slips and slides all game is completely bush league. I know he won't do it, but if I was Mark Adams I'd rip the Louisville coach a new asshole on the post game presser. It's a miracle no one ended up getting hurt in that game.

Kenny Payne might have been a bad hire. 

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Nembhard for Creighton already slipped and fell flat on his face on that shit court in Maui. Someone's gonna get hurt bad. Unbelievable.

[VinyVango 694]

Creighton is scrappy and can shoot. They look much better than Gonzaga. Horns are in for a fight next week.

[Pancho 44,804]

I mean, if it’s the humidity making the court slippery, there’s nothing they can really do about that.

I know, I just don't wanna see any kids get hurt. Been some really close calls in every game I've watched so far down there.

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

I checked and the humidity down there right now is about the same as Austin on a clear day so I'm not really buying it's the humidity. It must just be a new court.

[Catdaddyhorn 3,444]

Anthony Black made a ridiculous jump in skillset after he gave up football. That kid is special. I thought he was 4th behind Cason Wallace, Keyonte George, and Arterio Morris, but he may be the best out of all 4 of the metroplex guards already. And there's no doubt that he'll most likely be the best pro among them.

I seriously doubt Creighton is much better than Gonzaga.

Oh I never said it was, i just said if it was. 

I have no idea what it is, but I’ve only seen 1 slip in this game. I fully acknowledge the tech game maybe had a lot more this morning.

It doesn't seem as bad this evening for sure. I've just seem some nasty falls (only a couple from Tech, but more from other teams). 

[Prepuce of Doom 21,073]

Do we really need all three of these three point lines on this particular court?

They're more experienced and they have a much better backcourt than Gonzaga does. They don't necessarily shoot better, but they're more skilled and handle better. They don't have anyone as skilled as Timme down low but not many teams do. Nembhard is undersized but one of the best point guards out there. They're also deep. Scheirman is legit, I was very impressed with him yesterday and again today so far.

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Alexander from Creighton reminds me of Ty Jerome from Virginia a few years back. Crafty and uses the glass well.

Really good job by Arkansas to win the last couple minutes or this thing might have gotten a little bit out of hand.

I don’t know that whoever puts this tournament on is rolling in money. They can probably only afford 1 floor so those 3 pt lines are for college and high school. The women’s line is now the same as the men’s so 2 is probably necessary as I’m guessing they still do high school stuff. 

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Black is crazy good. Pig aggy has to feel good being only down 6 despite having not made a 3.

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Who let Charlie Villanueva back in college?

[Degenerate Gardner 4,085]

Anthony Black and Keyonte George have really impressed. I hope Arterio proves himself a worthy comparison.

Jordan Walsh the 5th Dallas area kid to be named McDonald's All-American last year. 

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Really dumb foul. Creighton gonna be shooting FTs from here on out with 15 minutes left in the game

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Musselman needs to shut the fuck up

Agreed - I just couldn't figure out what possible range of games they were expecting to play on this court, and the current assortment of lines is unpleasantly cluttered and generally unappealing to me. 

[shadow_operative 15,932]

this is the best atmosphere i ever remember seeing for this event. great stuff. 

[shadow_operative 15,932]

i love musselman, but man he looks a lot like an east austin liberal lesbian. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

#5 Farabello for Creighton sucked for TCU last couple seasons. 

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Holy shit that deep 3

[shadow_operative 15,932]

my goodness this is entertaining.

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Anthony Black is Cade Cunningham but a little bit bigger

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Where the fuck did THAT come from Nembhard

[shadow_operative 15,932]

what a game.

[Pam Cummings 9,642]

What a game.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

Bad time to lose a point, bro. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

But he didn’t want those points either. 

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Black tried to do a James Harden

[shadow_operative 15,932]

what a great game this has been. best game of the early season to this point.
