2022-23 NCAA Men's Basketball Thread

[Hards Alumni]

Wonder if Porter Moser would have interest cause I don't think the fit in Oklahoma is a good one.

Brian Wardle.  Move up to a higher mid major before taking MU when Kentucky poaches Shaka.



Just so the humor impaired know, the above is all sarcasm.

Micah Shrewsberry's name has been mentioned in multiple places for this job, so he must want a raise

[MuggsyB]

Would Randy Bennett take that job?

[MU82]

This will be a really interesting hire by ND. How do they view their basketball program? Will they open their wallets to pay big for a proven winner?

[wadesworld]

UCLA basketball with a lead in the second half continues to be horrible to watch for the casual viewer.  Cronin would be the happiest coach in the world to be leading 65-60 at the 4 min mark and win 68-62.  It's unreal how much offensive talent they have that he is hell bent in reining in late for his system.

I love watching them. Tyger Campbell is one of my favorite non MU players to watch in a long time.

[Wade-A-Minute]

Big win for Stan Johnson last night. LMU beat the Zags at The Kennel.

[pbiflyer]

Wojo to ND!

Look, like any good MU alum, I hate ND as much as anyone, but this may be beyond mean, even for the drunken brawling Irish.

I know he's putting up decent numbers, but I'm wondering if Gonzaga might've been better off if Timme had gone pro.

Would be an excellent choice. I actually think Xavier should have gone there instead of Sean Miller.

Would Randy Bennett take that job?

I doubt ND would be interested. He's 60 and pretty entrenched at St. Mary's.

It will be very interesting. I think the school is pumping alums for cash to 'keep them competitive in football', so I'm not sure what the budget will be.

Wild that he originally commuted to DePaul. Could you imagine if him and Terrance Shanon stayed committed?

I love watching them most of the game, I just can't stand that end of game action.  They aren't as awful as Cronin's old Cincy teams, but they could be averaging 80 a game, efficiently, but Cronin wants to play every competitive game in the 60s.

[Jay Bee]

Minnesota put up 39 on Purdue last night. 12 in the first half.

[PGsHeroes32]

They had like 29 pts pre garbage time.

That team is epically bad

It kind of reminds me of Nova's good teams.  Take your time getting the ball inbounded after your opponent makes a basket, don't rush anything going up court, etc.  Very methodical.

They had about 5 chances to beat Wisky at the K-Hole.

Guy 1 at bar: Holtmann is under a lot of fire at Ohio State

Guy 2: Why?  They're a great team!

Guy 1: No they're not!

Guy 2: They beat Northwestern and Northwestern is good

Guy 1: They just lost to Nebraska

Guy 2: Nebraska is great!

I think a lot of Big 10 fans think the Bucks would finish 5th in the Big 10.

Don't think Xavier wants a do over.

That's quite the hot take there Sultan.  Why do you feel X should have hired Pat Kelsey over Sean Miller?  Especially now in the day of NIL?

+1 Xavier's ranked out of nowhere after a struggle with Steele. They needed a win not a "he went here" feel good story

[The Sultan]

I think in the long run Kelsey would have been a better option. I might be wrong.

But my larger point is that Notre Dame would be smart to consider him.

Seems to be working our just fine for X.
