2022-23 NCAA Men's Basketball Thread

[Dr. Blackheart]

In just a few days, the NCAA Selection Committee has become a joke.  They don't know 🏀

[Newsdreams]

Why would ESPN lobby for Virginia when they don't have broadcast rights to the NCAA Tournament?

Because they hate MU

Promote the product. They have the ACC (on the cheap). I'd do it if I were ESPN. Nothing wrong with it.

The committee isn't seeding Virginia higher because of ESPN

Badgers and Hawkeyes a combined 2-19 from 3 in the first half.

Clash of Titans.

Maybe not a joke, but definitely lazy.

Because ESPN hates the Big East. Or Thomas Jefferson was anti-Catholic. I don't know. I get my Scoop conspiracy theories mixed up.

Not exactly good or aesthetically pleasing basketball. 

[cheebs09]

So from the bracket reveal we've probably passed Indiana, Iowa State, Virginia, Tennessee, mayyyyyybe Kansas State and made up ground on Baylor.

There's a chance...

I don't know. I think it's tougher to jump teams at the top with only a few games.

I'm sure your right. It was meant to be a joke. Should have used teal.

But ESPN does have a dog in the fight.

Carolina lit up Notre Dame with 19 pts in the 1H.

It reminds me of Big Ten fans worried about espn bias in college football.  The last thing espn wants is Penn State, Michigan or Ohio State in the playoffs when they annually draw the biggest ratings of the year

[tower912]

It sounds like they put mics in the backboard in Madison.  Really emphasizing the clangs of the balls punishing the rims.

They do, but it ain't Virginia basketball they'll push if they're really worried about steering the committee

Wahl is a taller version of Davison without the nut punches.

[Tyler COLEk]

Alabama down four to a 10-17 South Carolina team just before half. What a disgrace that this team is playing games, and especially that Brandon Miller is on the floor.

Davison was a better player.  Wahl is terrible for how much they run the offense through him.  Still, Davison can eat a bag of

The fact that they were still giving 17.5 after their week was crazy to me.

[MuggsyB]

Iowa in their last 1.5 games is 4 for 35 from distance.  That's not easy to do.

Wow, I wish I would've seen that pregame.
