NCAA Basketball 2022-23

UH is overranked imo. They are very good but not sure how much you can glean from the schedule they have played. I will lose my shit if they get a #1 seed over a Big 12 champ just because they have fewer losses.

Agreed. They're a top 12 team. I'm not confident in anything past that. 

The American is really shitty this year.

The double color uniform games have such a nice look. Michigan in blue and Ohio State in red 

It works if there’s good contrast unlike the game I mentioned last night…

Is it because Sampson talks bad, too?

[Underdog 28,868]

How.

This Mahaney kid for Saint Mary's has taken over this game. 13 of the last 16 points for the Gaels. Game tied at 59, Gaels ball 73 seconds.

I was having Jay Burson flashbacks.

[Wally Pryor 5,308]

I subjected myself to the UH / Temple game this afternoon. John Chaney would be proud. That team's a rock fight, nothing more or nothing less.

UH is weird, a bizarre team. Sampson is greasy, no doubt. But there's no doubt he can coach really well. UH may go down in the first round or play at home that Saturday in Houston. Closer to the former than the latter. Did not know that both Quannas White and Hollis Price were on Sampson's staff. Not relevant to anything. The latter just evokes bad memories like Quinten Griffin, just not as bad.

UH, SMC, Arizona and Tenn are the only top 10 NET teams with a Q3 loss. Like Tenn, high NET bc they beat the shit out of opponents in a shitty conference and it affects NET due to their MOV in the AAC.

If you are a college basketball fan, you have to be enjoying this year. After all the years of watching the King Rat and his minions foil their opponents, this is van-glorious. Besides Kansas, I can't think of another school who deserves it more. 

 

I hope they do become the Nebraska of basketball.  Fuck Duke.

The crazy part is I'm not sold on either Duke or Nawf Carolina long term. I think they are both in trouble. Davis will get the recruits because Nawf Carolina, but I don't think he's a great HC. I'll eat crow here in 5 years if I have to, but...

[MirrOlure 14,934]

So that 5’ 9” dude for Miami just did a put back dunk off a miss…from essentially being flat-footed! He genuinely shocked himself…awesome!

Nah, I think you are right. I had high hopes for Hubert despite that pitiful 2nd half in the NC. And with all the guys returning this season has been telling. Plus NIL has changed the game. If it's causing fits in football, I can only imagine what basketball is like.  Both programs are probably in for tough times. 

 

I started following Carolina back in the JR Reid days, so I hope they recover. Asking for Duke to miss the NCAA tourney is probably too much, though.

that was a fun result for Miami v Duke. The baseline dunk for Miami at the end was really nice.

Auburn on a 15-2 run against aggy.

UNC getting waxed by Wake Forest. Are they even going to make the tournament?

[Underdog 28,868]

NIT could be lit this season with UK, UNC and Duke in it. 

[HtownHorn 14,915]

Holy shit, aggy will likely play 2 ranked teams all year, and both will be at home. They only play Alabama and Tennessee each one time.

Which is why they are 2nd in the SEC and are a bubble team. 

Their non-con was horrific. And they lost to Murray State, Colorado, and Wofford. 

[PittsburghTiger 6,239]

Pitt took Louisville to the woodshed tonight, 91-57.

Pitt was 28/51 from the floor and Louisville was 16/58. 

Amazingly, Pitt is now tied with Clemson for first in the ACC.

 

[Underdog 28,868]

South Austin's mom puts up more of a defense than UK's half court defense. 

Already hitting the exits at Rupp...  Good job, Cal.

Tonight, Kentucky at home loses to Arky.  Heat on Cal will grow.

That and the SEC isn't good. 

Every team is a bubble team or bad other than Alabama and Tenneseee. Only 2 SEC teams are comfortably in the tournament in a 14 team conference.

Anyone here good with puzzles?

Vols/Dores knotted up at 63 with about a minute left in regulation. 

[Underdog 28,868]

Vandy with the 3 at the buzzer to beat the Vols. 

[Underdog 28,868]

Well executed play to get that shot off.

[Underdog 28,868]

That shot was cutting it close.  Memorial Magic about backfired on Vandy as they only had 2 fouls called on them with less than a minute to play so they had to hack some to get that #up but then got the 5 second call plus the poor UT player choosing to run out clock I stead of taking the open layup. 

[PittsburghTiger 6,239]

Went to the Duquesne v George Mason game tonight. Duquesne won going away. It was fun. The coach of the Dukes, Keith Dambrot, who also coached LeBron James in high school, won the 500th game of his college career.

[Underdog 28,868]

OT:  Apparently a Boys HS game in Oklahoma ended 4-2 as one of the teams played stall ball.

Loyola Maramount now has wins over both Gonzaga and Saint Mary's. Will still have to win the conference tournament to turn the WCC into a 3-bid league. 

[Underdog 28,868]

I’m not going to compare Quadrant wins and bullshit like that but I wouldn’t have a problem with LMU getting a bid over UK right now. 

[The Ace of Aces 5,325]

I think Goodman was reporting on Twitter it’s about a hazing incident with a teammate.
