2023-2024 College Basketball Thread

I wish it were at Maui. For whatever reason, small gyms always seem to favor teams with good 3 point shooting. The close backdrop always seems to bode well for those teams. I think there is a scenario where we blow them out, but they have some real mismatches. Should be a fun one.

The rims at Lahaina are ridiculously soft as well. Would have been fun for our team to get play there but oh well.

UMass-Lowell? Really ASU?

Notre Lame is awful.

Pretty entertaining Missouri-Minnesota game. Dawson Garcia and the gophers blew a 20 point lead to lose in the final seconds. Big 10 stinks

Ben Johnson makes Wojo look like a strategic mastermind.

Im not even being hyperbolic when I saw that final 10 minutes and most importantly final 2 possessions was the worst coaching in at least the last 20 years of college basketball

[Jay Bee]

So bad. Absolutely disgraceful play calling and execution. Coach and players. All bad. Has Dawson standing in the corner, staying out of the play, intentionally. Just brutal

[Carl]

That second to last MN possession where they were up 1 and dribbled out the entire shot clock and then chucked a contested jumper 6 inches inside the 3 point line was crafty

Dawson getting a chance to try the Oso point forward role and immediately getting 10 second violation'd was laughable.

But i was flabbergast at having Christie the freshman that was 0fer up 1 in front of our own bench dribble down the whole clock to launch from Curry range. Then down 2 final possession call timeout to let Christie take the longest 2 possible at the horn.

Crazy stuff. Felt legit terrible for my diehard gopher pals.

Long Beach State up on Michigan?

Does not reflect well on The Badgers to be in a tight game with Bob Morris.

PC doesn't have better players than K St, so K St likely going to win this game in OT, but encouraged English has had a better idea what to do at the end of a close game than Tang has.

My favorite part of today's UCLA game was that former Badger Tai Stickland was on LIU's roster. Tai Strickland is famous because Buckyville once declared that the reason DJ Carton choose Marquette was because he was scared that he couldn't get playing time over Stickland.

IIRC, he was ranked something last 352nd in that recruiting class and Buckyville treated him like the next coming of Rod Strickland

No worries. Sap will be running come tournament time and Vermont will be distracted.

[PointWarrior]

very likely...

#14 Arkansas just lost at home to UNC-Greensboro.

Solid rebound win for Illini. Hawkins did not play. Illini performing well is helpful to MUs cause.
