2022-23 NCAA Men's Basketball Thread

[Uncle Rico]

You have said multiple times that Madison "always gets it done." Why would you want your favorite team to play an NCAA tournament opponent that never fails to get it done?

Their previous game, they had only 4 assists all game, so they're improving. It also could be home scorekeeping that even got them to 12 this time. Walker has never met a shot he doesn't like -- he had the ball a ton and had zero assists. He's averaging fewer than 3 assists even though he leads the team in minutes played.

Huh

[MU82]

Huh

That was for GE03. He repeatedly has shown undying admiration for the basketball program in the state that "always gets it done."

Whoops.  Responded to the wrong one

The last 10 years of not winning in March we have had to hear nothing but UW talk locally until they are eliminated.

The game would probably be agonizing, but if we could eliminate them and advance all in 1 day that'd be great.

I'd rather have them miss out altogether though.  That'd be even better.

I understand, GE03, but if they "always get it done," why don't they have 10 titles in that span?

Better yet, how can a team that "always gets it done" go 3-4 against effen Wojo?

We are in agreement on your last paragraph.

I bet Joey loves playing with teammates that pass the ball so much.

I guess I would have been better saying they always get more with less.  Every year I look at them and say "this team sucks" and yet they seem to always be playing on Saturday or Sunday with a shot at a Sweet 16.

Frustrating seeing Marquette teams with more talent watching them make it further. I believe that we have what it takes to flip the script though.

Anyways...enough about those slimeballs. Go MU!

Fair enough. We Are Marquette!

Another surprising team, to me at least, is Rutgers. They're playing good ball right now. I live in Jersey so I do follow them. Always looked forward to the MU/Rutgers game when they were in the Beast.

"Sources: Iowa's game against Northwestern will be postponed. The Wildcats are dealing with injury issues along with COVID. Don't have the minimum player requirement.

Expecting to hear a formal announcement later today."

So if you can't field a team you can postpone a game? Are they using COVID as an excuse to give their injured players time to recover? Just asking.

UConn women postponed a game against DePaul recently because they did not have enough healthy players.

Rhode Island postponed a game against UW-Milwaukee.

So, yes.

Racist

[WhiteTrash]

Racist

I honestly don't know that that term means anymore.

[PJDunn]

Might that be because you are white trash?

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Tough to tell Larranaga and Boeheim apart these days.

We old white guys all look alike.

Just looked at some pictures from my 60th grade school reunion.

You're not wrong.

[GoldenEagles03]

Notre Dame down 31-8 at home against Florida State.

Goodness...

[GoldenEagles03]

Wonder if the Darius Miles situation will impact Nate Oats ability to move on to a position like Texas or Kentucky if they were to open this offseason.

"Nate Oats told @UA_CTSN he spoke to former NFL LB Ray Lewis in the wake of Darius Miles' arrest.

"His daughter went to Alabama a year-and-a-half ago. He went through a similar situation in Atlanta. He played in the NFL. He told me what he thought guys needed to hear."

What!?!?

[The Sultan]

Yeah, that is one odd statement...

[tower912]

Davidson v. Dayton was entertaining.

(giggles and ducks)

[MuggsyB]

Thoughts on the Wisky/Rodent unis??  WTF?  Can you say hideous?

[panda]

Best team in the country rolls again

[WhiteTrash]

Any chance Brey hangs it up at the end of the year? He seemed disengaged after our game and getting stomped by 6-13 FSU at home; just feels like he's playing out his hand.
