2023-2024 College Basketball Thread

Maybe it's my bias, and I haven't watched it for some time, but College GameDay on ESPN is horrible television.

It's mostly empty minded hype. I haven't watched any pregame show in about 30 years.  They're all terrible. Bunch of chuckleheads.

Jay Williams in particular really bothers me Hutch.

Jay Williams in particular really bothers me Hutch.

He was on the Kentucky/LSU game the other night and didn't care for him doing game analysis.

Surprised that Baylor's new arena only seat  7,000.

When you take a step back, it's remarkable how important basketball is at Marquette.

Damn, Houston is really good.

[MuggsyB]

Damn, Houston is really good.

They have major shooting droughts.  This zone is weak from Baylor and Houston can get a wide open corner three at will.  They missed a few and are now a bit hesitant.  If Houston's guards shoot relatively well they're a very dangerous team.

That Frosh on Baylor is a stud. 

[MuggsyB]

Houston is getting a bit rattled.

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  Didn't get it off.

Heckuva a comeback by Baylor.  Fun game

[MU82]

You knew the big Baylor kid was gonna miss. What a shot by Shead ... but .1 too late - OT.

Regardless of the result, what we've seen this week is that Houston is not some unbeatable juggernaut ... UConn is not some unbeatable juggernaut ... Purdue is not some unbeatable juggernaut.

They are really good teams, maybe even great teams. But although any or all of them could get to the Final Four, any or all of them definitely could have the same kind of result last year's #1 seeds had.

Lottery pick.

Jalen Bridges, a top Wojo target, who went to West Virginia with big half.

Houston's roster makeup is real good.  Top 30, 70, 100, 135 and a top portal guy. Sampson develops players.  Especially defense.

[MuggsyB]

Was that a gtend?

[Uncle Rico]

Was that a gtend?

Yeah

[MuggsyB]

I don't mind this result.  I think we want the 3 seeds to lose.

St. Thomas at South Dakota State today.  A loss eliminates the Tommies from a chance at a conference title. 

Important game for Marquette's cause.

They only care about a Big East title.

Tommies up 7 at half.

There hasn't been an unbeatable team in college basketball in almost 50 years. And parity in the sport is only growing.

[MuggsyB]

Let's go Wake!!!!!

[MuggsyB]

Omg what an idiotic pass!  Muggsy must be extremely unhappy. 

[MuggsyB]

Ty Wake and Scheyer.  No time outs for Duke to finish the game.

More good in game coaching from Scheyer. 👀

[HowardsWorld]

That is why court storming needs to stop

[MuggsyB]

Oh....boy.  Fillipowski may have gotten hurt on the court storm.
