2022-23 NCAA Men's Basketball Thread

[brewcity77]

Alabama and Iowa State taking big losses. In terms of the poll, ISU, Auburn, and Xavier all now look ripe for the passing.

Bucky had 16 at half . Where's nolonger?

They finally outscored Joplin at the 13 min mark in the 2H.

I don't think Xavier should drop. Splitting road games against UConn and Creighton is not really a bad week.

They were never in the gane vs Creighton.  I predict we will pass them.

You could argue X had a better week than MU.

Why would any top recruit in the state who really wants to enjoy playing basketball choose mucking it up in the mud for Madison rather than flying up and down the court and sharing the ball for Marquette?

I know IA state took a bad loss today, but they also beat K state at home earlier this week. I would assume they fall, but I can't imagine 4+ spots

They don't have to fall 4+ spots. They fall 3, we move up 3, we pass them.

And as far as Xavier, this is the AP Poll, not kenpom. They lost to an unranked team. I'm pretty sure it's a rule that they have to fall.

Mississippi State looking good early against TCU.

It's all Northwestern's  fault.

They truly score in the 50's.

39 points with 4 minutes left - horrible basketball.

Maybe the Varsity Collective will make it worth their while.

Traditional Basketball.

Does Gard look unhappy?

I does look like Mrs. Guard packed his angry eyes for him.

How about that Oklahoma/Bama score?

[PointWarrior]

My 3 Bucky fans called today and all want gard gone.

Maybe Bama's not as good as everyone thinks? I don't know how to explain it.

Considering Guard is only allowed to have two time Rhodes Scholars in biochemistry on his team, I think he does a good job. 

[Uncle Rico]

They crash the offensive glass so hard, if you get rebounds against them, you can run and score on them.  Teams also haven't shot the 3 well against them and that's somewhat lucky.  Today?  OU was 9 of 13 and Bama was 6 of 22.  Bama entered today with the nations 4th best defensive effective fg% and OU shot 57%.  Might have been a perfect storm game

[MuggsyB]

Baylor beat Ark.

Miss St./TCU in overtime

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Jop and Kolek combining for 52 on a day Wisconsin scores 51.  Neither of those two are among MU's top 3 scorers this season. Kinda funny!

Gard's seat has gotta be getting warm.  Badger fans are feeling bold after seeing Fickell clean up in the transfer portal.  They don't care about 2 conference titles and B1G COY awards.  Many are ready to move on.
