2022-23 NCAA Men's Basketball Thread

[wadesworld]

Ehh, This is Dixon's 7th season at TCU.  They have won a single NCAA game and have never had a winning record in conference.  They are having a great season but its not like he set the world on fire once he left.

But TCU hadn't gone to an NCAA Tournament since 1998 before Dixon took over and hadn't won an NCAA Tournament game since 1987.  They had won 20 games just twice since the turn of the century prior to him taking over (mostly playing in CUSA and the MWC).  They've won over 20 games 4 times in his first 6 seasons (and will be 5 in his first 7 after this year). Including through the first 8 Big 12 games this season, TCU has 47 conference wins in Dixon's time there (all in the Big 12).  They won 46 conference games over the previous 12 seasons (spanning 3 different coaches, with 1 of those seasons in CUSA, 7 of those seasons in the MWC, and 4 of those seasons in the Big 12).  Given what TCU basketball is, he pretty much has set the world on fire there.

So he's only won one more game than Shaka over that period coming out of the same conference?

Oh its not meant to be a dig on Dixon.  Like you said, he's done great there.  I meant more that if Pitt had not completely biffed it with their coaching hires, they wouldn't be looking wistfully as their old coach got to S16s or the like.

That's fair. My comment was mostly that Pitt has been bad the last few years and Dixon is a good coach. However, it might have just been time for both parties. I don't think things would have gotten any better for him at Pitt if his 7 years at TCU were at Pitt.

I think patience had worn fairly thin.

For pure comedy everyone can tune into the Indiana vs minnesota game tonight.

TJD going against the Gophers who are without Garcia and Payne tonight(Carrington already out).

So the worst team in Big10 plays one of the best big men down 3 players both big men and have like 6 scholarship players I believe.

Woof

[tower912]

If they are down to 6 scholarship players, they can postpone.   

Just read that Minnesota is down to 7.     But, IU will be without Woodson.     COVID.

Woooooof.

Woooooof.

Bucky sucks at basketball.

[MuggsyB]

Wisky has a soft remaining schedule. 

But it may not be soft enough. 

[CountryRoads]

Bucky sucks at basketball.

The math is simple. They have 5 or 6 players who played minutes tonight who have no business being in a P6 rotation. Major talent deficiency in Madison.

[wisblue]

This loss was all Northwestern's fault.

Forcing the poor Badgers to play 2 games in 3 days.

They should give Gard an extension.

This is correct.  The offense is awful

Do you really want to add a bad loss to our resume?  A nonsensical take, as are some anti-Badger takes.

LOL.

I think Casper should deliver to Badger games.

That game will mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I'd make fun of the A10, but weird crap like that happens at Providence all the time.
