2022-23 NCAA Men's Basketball Thread

Gard has completely outcoached Self in this one.

[MuggsyB]

Thankfully Hepburn took that shot.

Does anyone think Marquette would be competitive vs Kansas?

Can't imagine UW will win now in OT. 

[BCHoopster]

//Gard does not make the plays, but tough players, and he had 2 of them!

If Wojo was still coaching, absolutely not.  Shaka would give us a chance.

[GoldenEagles03]

Kansas is way better.  They're just playing like garbage.

I don't think Kansas is way better.  They play like 7 guys and only have 3 scoring options.

UW is like 9 or 10 deep with shooters everywhere.

[MuggsyB]

Count that!

[Tha Hound]

L as expected. Never a doubt.

[mugrad_89]

Did Wahl get an assist on the game winner?  🧐

[MU82]

Another entertaining game, and the right team won.

The Kansas kid who made the winning play went flying in from about 25 feet ... and right past Essegian, who was ball-watching instead of boxing out.

[NolongerWarriors]

No coach gets more out of limited talent than Gard.

I do not feel good about the game next weekend. This team struggles in low possession games and early jacks are especially harmful against UW.

Hopefully the boys make a jackass outta me in front of the home crowd, but I'm not optimistic.

UW is not 9 or 10 deep. They have 5 good players and everyone else is trash, especially Jordan Davis.

Kansas hasn't really played well this year with the exception of duke. And duke has 18 year olds in their first few games right now.

They probably are closer to the 20th best team than they are the 1st.

I've watched the last 2.5 Kansas games and it's a down year for them (still means top 20 for them). They don't have their typical big guy this year.

Badgers are 334th in effective fg% nationally.  Klesmit is the only regular with an offensive rating over 100.  Wahl is 5th in the nation in usage rate.  That offense is terrible.  The defense will keep them in games and steal some when shots are falling but unless the offense gets better, this is mid-level team at best

Wisconsins current defensive form isn't sustainable either. Their 3pt defensive percentage is 17.8%.

That's going up by at least 8%+.

The Green Bay was more indicative to me than today.

Same. Shouldn't be a blowout, but UW is probably a win.

Too bad Baylor and UW are in the same week.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Ideal outcome in the Badgers game. Their computer numbers will go up which helps Marquette, but they still lost.

I'm really enjoying Portland giving the Tar Heels a challenge. 3 point Pilot lead with 16 and change left to play.

[Dish]

Portland not just hanging with Carolina, but looking impressive.

[WhiteTrash]

Great effort by Portland.

In other ACC related news; Louisville 0-6 but almost as surprising FSU 1-5. Also, Jim Boeheim needs to retire. I don't care about SU but his need to hang on is going to damage that brand.

[GoldenEagles03]

Oregon State and Dexter Akanno leading #8 Duke by 3 with 13 minutes left in the 2nd half.

Nice.

Now up 6 as Dexter promptly drills a 3 as I clicked send on the previous post.
