2024-25 NCAA Basketball Thread

Minnesota basketball might as well be considered MVC level.

And they fit geographically too!  None of the MVC teams are actually in the geographic Missouri River watershed (and neither is UM)

I believe Missouri State is in the Missouri River watershed, but they are leaving the conference after this year.

If they cared about such things for future expansion, and really why wouldn't they, my suggestion would be to add South Dakota State, Omaha and the University of Denver.

SDSU is in the football MVC along with the other Dakota schools, Summit League for other sports.  MVC would be an upgrade.

Incredible win for Oklahoma.  Fears with a 4pt play.  Wow.

Even better when you hear what Gottlieb said about Michigan Tech before the game:

He wasn't talking about Tech though. That interview was a week before the game and before that comment he said they scheduled up and every team on their schedule could beat them (quite correct) because when it's 2 degrees out people don't want to come out to see them play "Nobody U." I've had personal interactions with Gottlieb that make me dislike him but I'll defend him here.

Meh, what does the name of the conference mean anymore when you look at the membership? Looking at you, Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12, Atlantic 10, etc...

And the BE with teams in Omaha, Milwaukee, Indy, Chicago, and Cincy. East?

East of the Mississippi (except for Creighton). Marquette is on the east coast of Wisconsin...

Yeah, BIG area East of the Mississippi.

[Scoop Snoop]

Yeah, BIG area East of the Mississippi.

I think we should have added Gonzaga when we had the chance. They're east of the Pacific coast.

Yeah, ya think?  Now we have to sit here reading a Dayton fan's posts thinking Dayton will some day get that call.

Teal. But you know that.

Sorry about that. Fieldhouse comes back and I'll man up and take the blame.

[tower912]

South Dakota Mines.  Is that a school or a declarative sentence?

South Dakota Mines.  Is that a school or a declarative sentence?

Kind of like when you see the orange safety sign on a road that reads "End Construction".

Everyone can get behind that statement.

They always do
