2022-23 NCAA Men's Basketball Thread

[Uncle Rico]

Agreed. It's not like these don't change. If we win at Creighton, that will help improve the weakest part of our resume.

I think how they seeded teams is head scratching myself.  I also think seeding last year was bad for the tournament itself. 

Marquette wants a 2 or 3 seed because the path is easier.  It's still within reach.

[GoldenEagles03]

So the transitive property would make the final score roughly equal to our Final Four game against Kansas.

Idk about all that, but on that night in December Marquette probably would have run Kansas too.  That was just their night.

I actually like how Marquette matches up with Kansas too.  Would be a fun tournament game!

[GoldenEagles03]

A Baylor team that Marquette beat by 26 is up 16 AT Kansas.

Kansas now up almost 16.

Script has been flipped.

Complete meltdown by Baylor.

Came out of the locker room with no plan it seemed.  I know that's not the case, but that's what it seemed.

#5 team in the country asserted themselves at home.

Pulled from Twitter...

"Kansas' record when Dajuan Harris scores more than *three* points this season: 21-0

Kansas' record when Dajuan Harris scores three points or less: 1-5"

I would say Wisky is NOT in the NCAA tournament.  I would guess they need a win over Purdue to have a remote chance.

Badgers probably need to go 3-1 to sneak into Dayton.

Memorial Magic, again.

Vanderbilt had been searching for signs of life after some early season injuries and adversity. Liam Robbins got healthy. And, few things are Better Than Ezra at the end of a game. They're not too sure and not too proud to say it was good.

Ohio St once again showing why they deserve their top 60 NET ranking.  🙄

[The Sultan]

Can't figure out why North Carolina is so bad this year.

[Shooter McGavin]

Can't figure out why North Carolina is so bad this year.

I can't either Sultan?  Manek was pretty instrumental in their run though.  When he was out in the Baylor game last year that's when  Baylor made their run but couldn't seal the deal.  With Manek, Baylor was looking as bad as MU did against NC.

Lots of NIL money down the crapper with NC.

No point guard and too reliant on bacot

Don't forget they were a bubble team for most of last year too

Yea and they didn't go deep last year, really only played like 6 or 7.  So you take out their second best player in Manek, and you need a leap from someone else.  Bacot is about the same. Davis and Love made little improvements but noticeable.  Nobody else stepped up and Nance is just a role player,  nothing more

[tower912]

Hence the 8 seed.

I don't think they like each other very much. Caught lightning in a bottle last year, that's hard to replicate, especially with off court issues.

Wow, you can't say that on sportscenter

Ehh...it's more innocent than meets the eye...if you don't believe the internet for everything

NW is playing some solid hoops. Boo Buie has a lot of game.

NBA ASG draft is another reminder that the NCAA tournament should not be seeded by the committee, auto qualifiers and NET ranks to fill 68 slots. NET ranking team #1 (and so on) then picks their opponents and locations.

I don't watch the ASG anymore.  What happened?
