2024-25 NCAA Basketball Thread

that ejection against Toppin

Should lead to instant suspensions and launch an investigation into gambling being at play

That was the most insane thing I have ever seen

What happened?

[MuggsyB]

Michigan St. is smoke and mirrors. 

[MuggsyB]

Duke on pace for about 110.

Jeesh.  That's brutal.

[Uncle Rico]

Jeesh.  That's brutal.

Dirty

[MuggsyB]

I like the Sudanese kid on Duke. 

[ATL MU Warrior]

Jeesh.  That's brutal.

Wouldn't we, as MU fans, want Texas Tech to lose this game in the most lopsided way possible?

[Uncle Rico]

I like the Sudanese kid on Duke. 

At times, this Duke team looks like Coach K's best Duke teams, pre-one and done.  At times.

Why?

[MuggsyB]

At times, this Duke team looks like Coach K's best Duke teams, pre-one and done.  At times. 

Agreed.  Their defense is ahead of their offense. Look out if they figure it out. 

[PGsHeroes32]

I said it back when they lost to Kentucky week 2

This Duke team is elite. The fumbled it with the freshman in their first couple games

But the team is a wagon. Defense. Huge. Shooters. Superstar.

[Uncle Rico]

Agreed.  Their defense is ahead of their offense. Look out if they figure it out. 

Having some vets to give them minutes helps a lot.  I think they showed how to use the portal adding James and Gillis, guys who don't demand the ball and play within a team concept.

Having Procter helps a lot, too.  It's good roster management.  Them and Houston only teams with top-10 offense and defense in KenPom.

Plus, they have the top player in the nation

[PGsHeroes32]

With the aided ejection

Houston with a horrendous first half(somehow only down 4)

Supposed to be defense and rebounding oriented. TT is 52/50% from field. And out rebounding them 19-12.

TT has missed 12 shots. Rebounded 8 of them.

[Newsdreams]

I like the Sudanese kid on Duke. 

Getting deported

[MuggsyB]

Getting deported

We should have a Sudanese, Senegalese, and Nigerian scout. 

[ATL MU Warrior]

Why?

Ken Pom and NET

[MuggsyB]

Ken Pom and NET

Kenpom seems to be over emphasized to me. 

[withoutbias]

Live bet Baylor at Poto when they cut it to 7!

Aren't you under 21?

[GoldenEagles03]

Aren't you under 21?

No lol

[Uncle Rico]

Iowa State, Florida, Kentucky, Houston, Michigan State and Kansas are teams I expect to lose opening weekend.

St. Thomas hosts North Dakota St. today in a big game in the Summit

Obviously! If you're ranked, and you lost Saturday, you might as well cancel the rest of your season. The Eeyores have decreed it!

I have but I picked Marquette to go 6-14 in the league because I'm smarter than most and knew they sucked before the season started.

There are themes and patterns in most things, including college basketball.  Recognize and accept them.  Recognize and accept that MU is not exempt from these things.  And whatever misery you think you are enduring is not unique to you or MU.

Time to bounce back.

[Uncle Rico]

St. Thomas up 14 against NDST

Could they win the Big East?
