2019-20 NCAA basketball season thread

[harpercollins 394]

sparty basically gave up with 3.5 minutes left—seems like scrubs could have played as least that much.

[ss13 1832]

A coach will never give that long, but I agree should be more than 30 seconds in a blowout.

Tevin Mack has 20 against Duke with 4:00 left 

[Catdaddyhorn 3444]

I was just about to post to post about him. Who all knew he went back home to Clemson?

[Js1 85275]

I didn’t. I was like wait who? I remember him 

[coolsax 49]

clemson about to take this one from Duke.. Crazy Basketball season!

[Js1 85275]

If we suck, at least we get massive chaos.

Takes a little sting out of last night for them.

Pfft. Like if your wife leaves you, but the next day a female co-worker compliments your socks

[ss13 1832]

Pretty sure their fans are okay with the two other rings too. 

[Js1 85275]

Another top 5 team down. Seton Hall over the Butler 

[Underdog 28562]

UK about to blow one against USCe, pretty much had control of the game throughout but blowing it about the last 5 minutes.  

What a shame. 

[ss13 1832]

Bank is open for the win!! 

[Underdog 28562]

LMAO...  of course. 

[ss13 1832]

Always forget Frank Martin is there. 

[Js1 85275]

Doesn’t count if he didn’t call bank or game

5 and 10 both lost 

#4 Auburn down 36-27 at half 

[mulletpelini 5210]

If you were ranked last night, you probably still are because apparently every ranked team lost.  Shocks were no better, lost to fucking Temple.

Quick name 5 teams with more wins than Temple.

#18 Seton Hall won (but upset #5)
#2 Baylor (blech) won

#9 FSU won

Otherwise, being ranked is a curse. All part of Shaka’s plan!

This is a year of epic parity but I don’t think there is overwhelming talent this year. I think we have a shitload of mediocre teams relative to the last decade and not any dominant teams. 

have to believe that this is a year where a mid major is going to win the tourney. 

[Underdog 28562]

This may be Gonzaga's best chance at a title as there is really no great or dominant team and they've looked the most balanced of all the "top" teams.  Duke is Duke and they'll hover around the Top throughout the season, Baylor looks damn good, maybe they can trade out Drew for Mulkey come NCAAT time.  

[ss13 1832]

Whoever designed Memphis’ court should be shot (ESPN). 

[Blotto 23488]

Michigan Iowa on FS1 is a damn entertaining game. Nonstop up and down the court. 47-43 at the half. 

[Message Board User 12395]

For those of you who missed it, here's the end of the UD-SLU game last night.

 

[Underdog 28562]

^ Was watching that game and then inexplicably changed it for some reason. 

Go Pitt! 

[Js1 85275]

NC getting its ass beat 

Baylor losing 

Ohio State losing 

Good little Sat so far 

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

If Baylor loses at Oklahoma State, I will just give up trying to understand this sport anymore.

I mean, fuck Baylor and all, but Okie Lite is turrrrrrble.

[ss13 1832]

#5 Butler getting murdered, #4 Auburn (CBS), #9 FSU (ACCN) also losing in 2nd halfs. 

[ss13 1832]

FSU/MIA tied with :27 left, FSU ball.

How do we give up 90 to Missouri and hold Auburn under 50.  #bi-polargata

I agree in principle that this might be their best shot but Im not sold on them either. The blowout loss to Michigan looked ok at the time because Michigan looked like the best team in the country but they are not. Oregon OT win also looks good, but Oregon also is like "WTF". Arizona was a good road win yes, and Washington was a decent road win too but neither of those were statement victories and they look as vulnerable to me as every other team in the country and their defense is...well....its not great.

Vandy has their 3pt made streak snapped tonight @1,080 games, crowd was going crazy urging the Dores to foul in order to keep streak alive.

Another streak they really want to break.

Vanderbilt has lost five straight, three of those since learning that the SEC's leading scorer in Aaron Nesmith was probably lost for the rest of the season because of an injured right foot.

The Commodores also lost their 22nd straight conference game during the regular season, a skid that started under former coach Bryce Drew. That ties the second-longest skid in SEC history, matching Alabama's 22-game streak between 1960 and 1970, and is just two away from matching Sewanee's mark of 24 consecutive losses between 1938 and 1940.

Sampson has another solid team.

From beating Kentucky to never getting another HC gig in just a couple months, impressive.

Walter McCarty has been fired as Evansville's coach after an investigation revealed additional allegations of off-court misconduct, the university announced Tuesday.

Later Tuesday, Evansville announced the hiring of Todd Lickliter as McCarthy's replacement. Lickliter will coach the Purple Aces on Wednesday night against Drake.

McCarty was initially put on administrative leave by the university on Dec. 26, after reports of alleged sexual misconduct and violations of Evansville's Title IX policy.

In a statement announcing the decision, which is effective immediately, the school said it had received additional reports of off-court misconduct with members of the "campus community'' during McCarty's tenure of less than two seasons. It also noted that McCarty had previously participated in a training program about unacceptable behavior.

"While the investigation of potential Title IX violations will continue under University policies, UE has decided that, based on the facts uncovered thus far, it is necessary to terminate Mr. McCarty's employment immediately," the school said in a statement. "There is no place at UE for any behavior by any University employee or student that jeopardizes the safety and security of others."

In a separate memo sent to members of the Evansville community obtained by ESPN, university president Christopher M. Pietruszkiewicz said that as part of the ongoing investigation, the school found that McCarty attempted to improperly influence witnesses.

McCarty finishes his career at Evansville with a record of 20-25.

 

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

Undefeated.
