2022-23 NCAA Men's Basketball Thread

I heard that game was a boatrace.  Doesn't seem you need to root for anyone, the outcome is a foregone conclusion.

It's tied.

[rocky_warrior]

I don't know how to process rooting for Kevin Willard's team.

I'm having trouble processing that he might have a really good team this year.

[wadesworld]

It's tied.

Couldn't be.

Wisconsin is going to blow the doors off Kevin Willard and undefeated #13 Maryland.

Illinois looking like they could close out undefeated #2 Texas.

[MuggsyB]

Couldn't be.

Oh...apparently he was mistaken. 

[MuggsyB]

Awful call on the zebras against the 🐢 🐢.  Big swing.

Just took a look at Purdue's schedule.  They finish the season with

(H)Indiana
(A)Wisconsin
(H)Illinois

Those are probably the 4 best teams in the B1G.  Going to be one interesting race in that conference and a crazy end of the year for the Boilermakers.

Maryland, Rutgers, Ohio State and Iowa are all better then Wisconsin.

Wisconsin and Georgia Tech nice wins today should help the metrics, even though a closer than expected victory for MU won't.

[GoldenEagles03]

Maryland, Rutgers, Ohio State and Iowa are all better then Wisconsin.

You think so?  They just beat Maryland tonight. Regardless still a tough close for Purdue who actually has Ohio State before Indiana in that stretch.

[GoldenEagles03]

Duke is smacking Iowa.

Love watching McCaffery lose.

[MU82]

You think so?  They just beat Maryland tonight.

Glad you think that Marquette is a better team than Baylor.

"Arkansas forward Trevon Brazile will miss the remainder of the season after injuring his right knee, per release. Significant SEC news."

"Michigan's Jaelin Llewellyn will miss the remainder of the 2022-23 season after suffering an ACL injury to his left knee, per release. Significant Big Ten news."

Massive College Hoops News. Ouch.

Caught the end of the SIUE - Bradley game last night.  Brian Barone vs. Brian Wardle in a battle of the Deane-Crean tree.

Bradley won by 2 - SIUE almost pulled off an insane behind-the-back desperation buzzer beater to tie it at the end, but a slight tip on the inbounds pass started the clock and it was waived off. 

Barone appears to be a hot-head on the sidelines (which I recall from playing pick-up with him back in the day), but the two coaches shared a respectful embrace at the end, which was nice.

20 points (6 3"s) for Greg Elliott in a 75-74 Pitt loss to Vandy.

[tower912]

Good for Greg.  Is that an over 40 league?

[Skip Intro]

20 points (6 3"s) for Greg Elliott in a 75-74 Pitt loss to Vandy.

Greg's having a decent year so far, particularly as of late.  He's seeing a lot of time on the floor, but sadly I think it'll be another disappointing year for Pitt (which I'm assuming will be Capel's last).

Ohio State wins at the buzzer.  Rutgers botched the foul up 3 strategy.  Fouled too early and OSU made ft to cut it to 1. Rutgers split their free throws and Buckeyes hit a 3 at the buzzer.

Wow...the guy who bet 100k must have a horseshoe up his ass...he'd looking good to win that 3 team parlay with Iowa trouncing Iowa State and Colorado vs CSU tied at 28 at present.

He must have had insider info.

Colorado State down by 25.

Colorado St losing by 30ish.
Dreams dashed

This is a good Zags team, but not a great Zags team.  Far less dynamic, don't get up the floor as much.  Not nearly as enjoyable to watch as a casual observer
