2023-2024 College Basketball Thread

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Except for the murder, rape and other assorted crimes.  I watch Yellowstone, pal.  No way I ever go to Montana until they elect officials serious about getting tough on crime

Montana is going to Helena handbasket.

[Spotcheck Billy]

Totally straying off topic here (me) but Caitlin is expected to be signed for a base salary of $76,000 with a potential bonus of $5150 if she's the rookie of the year.

Too bad she has zero eligibility left - she'd make more $ at Iowa.

[Uncle Rico]

Gophers remain useless

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

NIT starts 3/19

Whatever happened to that Big East, Big 10, Big XII non-NCAA participant 16 team tourney in Vegas?

[cheebs09]

Too bad she has zero eligibility left - she'd make more $ at Iowa.

I think she could come back for another year if she wanted. I think she will do just fine with endorsements in the WNBA.

Or she could ink those same deals but instead of calling them NIL deals, we just call them sponsorships and product endorsements.

She isn't precluded from making more than her WNBA salary anymore than Lebron James is precluded from making only his NBA contract money.

[The Sultan]

Yes, she definitely could have returned for another year. I doubt she could have made more by staying at Iowa.

State Farm, Nike and Gatorade will be paying her "salary"

I read somewhere that almost all of her NIL sponsors are going to continue with her after she leaves Iowa.  Believe the annual figure was 900K a year.

Bravo.

That's a Butte!

[tower912]

That's a Butte!

Dammit.

[Uncle Rico]

Big game for Marquette's cause tips-off in a few minutes.  Need Wisconsin to introduce Maryland to darkness

[The Sultan]

Dammit.

Did my pun Kalispell on you?

(Yeah...that's a stretch.)

I have to Hannah it to you.  That was a pretty good Joe-k.

[The Sultan]

I'm always ready, billings and able when it comes to a good pun.

Carolina looking strong in ACC Tournament

I am thinking The Heels gonna win The Big Dance this season. Seeing their swag  everywhere , At The Beach, Costco, Trader Joes and Airports

Bacot and Davis are the kind of players that can lead a team to a Natty

[tower912]

Sparty guards had one of their best games of the year today.   Has the switch been flipped?

I am with you Hermie.  Not saying they will win it all, but have a good chance and I like teams that are on a roll going into the NCAAT.  They win ACC and if Tenn/Hou/Purdue happen to falter, UNC gets a #1 seed. Believe they have won 8 in a row now.

That's the dumbest thing I've read today

[Uncle Rico]

Badgers look like a Final 4 team.  Helps the Marquette cause.  Think they coast to a Big Ten title and get a 3-seed.  Gard just gets it done

That's a team nobody wants to face.

[Uncle Rico]

Not at all.  Won't be surprised to see 4 Big Ten teams in the Final 4.  Them, Purdue, Sparty and Illinois
