2022-23 NCAA Men's Basketball Thread

Ohio State 9-0 run to cut the lead to 6 with 3 minutes left.

I’m surprised Wisconsin’s 19 second half points hasn’t salted the game away yet.

Audrey all but disappearing down the stretch for Bucky.

Eh. You can't claim a not-for-profit discount then tell them its for a different not-for-profit. Misrepresenting who you are actually buying the tickets for isn't a great look.

This. End of story.

I will say that if this Illini group had been any other Big10 student fan group, Iowa would’ve let it slide.

There’s ridiculously bad blood between these two programs dating back to the Bruce Pearl vs Jimmy Collins feud during the recruitment of Deon Thomas.

And the award for worst uniforms goes to....

Hideous

[Uncle Rico]

Good win for the Eagles cause

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Badgers win despite last making a FG with 7:22 remaining.  Nearly a 7 minute scoring drought.

What a defensive clinic by both squads

Hopefully Shaka was taking notes.  👀

I really thought Holtmann would be good there.

Holtmann’s teams remind me of Wojo’s in that they don’t have an identity.  I guess they have a pretty good bruising frontcourt, but otherwise they have talent but not cohesion.

[DoctorV]

Hell, I once got escorted out of the DePaul student section for daring to wear a Marquette shirt.  We used my brother's friends DePaul student ID to get in and they didn't want opposing fans in the student section.

Of course, we got escorted to seats four rows behind the MU bench.  So that was nice.

This is just a larger scale version of the same thing.

Same.
Happened to my wife and I like 3 years ago.
They tried getting us to move because we were wearing bright yellow Marquette gear, but she was a grad student at the time and showed her ID and they just let it go.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Maybe this is to DePaul's credit. There were 2 MU fans, one in gold and one in white, sitting front row in the middle of the DePaul student section last Saturday. They were there all game.

[MU82]

Houston struggling again with a mediocre team from their bad conference.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Same thing happened to me and a couple of friends at a DePaul game.

Had tickets to the student section, back in 2011-12 I believe? And they kicked us out and put us higher up.

Probably didn’t appreciate when I told the security it’ll be the most students they’ll have in there for a game that season.

This...I live in Columbus.  Super vanilla, no cohesion and he has totally  lost the team and the fan base.  Be interested to see if he survives after this year.

I’m pretty sure UW lets their players design the alternates. To nobody’s surprise, a bunch of farm boys trying to make a “tough” black out uniform failed miserably.

[Uncle Rico]

Another tough loss for SLU

Asked on the Field of 68.

National champion

Big 12 or Big East vs the Field.

Think I'm taking the 2 conferences.

Considering those two conferences don’t have anybody in the top 5 of KenPom, I’d go the field.

Ill sell my house if Houston or Tennessee win it all this year. And I really think Purdue gets tripped up relatively early(this is not mortgage guarantee).

Bama and UCLA are definitely two of the teams that would worry me in that "field". Big time.

[brewcity77]

UCLA is suspect to me. 0-3 against top-30 NET teams and they only have one solid win over the field against Maryland, as both USC and Kentucky are very bubbly.

Insanely reliant on long 2s as well.

For being a veteran team, that offense just gets stagnant and bogged down at times.  I know the Leprachaun likes to control tempo but I bet they could run a little more and be more dynamic

[MU82]

There are numerous teams that Marquette could lose to. We lost to mediocre Madison and Mississippi State teams, so we obviously could (and would be expected to) lose to very good Purdue, Houston, Tennessee and Bama (and other) teams.

But I think our guys would acquit themselves quite well against any of them, and would have a solid chance of winning.

ESPN doing their best to hype up the Duke/NC game which is a battle for 6th place in the ACC.  🙄
