2024-25 NCAA Basketball Thread

This shtick is so old it may have caused the Big Bang.

Sheldon?

Citadel my father's alma mater, so I was born in a military base.

No surprise. You check all the boxes for a military brat.

Cincinnati up 3 at Iowa State with 15 minutes left.  Given Otz is from the area and is in the midst of a February fade, I could see him taking the Marquette job

Between this, and Alabama losing at half, I wonder if there is a problem with Wisconsin's water supply.

[Uncle Rico]

Iowa State now up 4, so Otz isn't a candidate anymore

That is why the bong is my therapy

Georgia crapped the bed in Athens.  That team has collapsed.

They lost to MU. They stink.

The only way you could make the sidelines of this Bama/Auburn game more unlikeable is if you threw a Drew brother on each bench.

[Billy Hoyle]

Hate to say it, but that was an impressive win by the Rodents.

They went through a stretch where they missed 8 straight 3s, Crowl got in foul trouble and Nutpuncher II got ejected ... but they recovered to close out the half strong and then Tonje took over in the second half.

Notable: As Purdue fell behind, they missed several 10-17-foot shots. Iron unkind to their midrange game.

Purdue guards are poor defenders. We took advantage of that back before we became the worst team in America, and Madison took advantage of it today.

Yet another season this board throws dirt on Bucky and Gard and they prove us wrong again.

I'll be happy to have Gard at UW for as long as they want to keep him there.

Gard always gets it done

Wow.  Crazy call in the Bama/Auburn game. 

[GoldenEagles03]

These 2 teams are very good. Surprised Purdue beat Alabama.

Stuff happens.  The distance between teams isn't always that great

Mazara not showing much maturity for a 25:year old.

College basketball betting has had its up and downs for me

The one constant. Pounding overs in Bama games.

Good lord. Them and Auburn missed about 15 lay ups/dunks. Ton of missed free throws. 75 pts at half.

Cleared the 98 needed in the second half and then some.

Such a chaotic pace its in play even when they shoot terribly.

[GoldenEagles03]

I wouldn't care if I wasn't planning to attend the games.

I enjoy the relatively neutral court atmosphere of the first and second round NCAA games. Having Wisconsin play here, as they have 3 times in the past, makes it less fun for me.

Maybe you can go watch 10 seed UConn beat 2 seed UW in Milwaukee (if that's even possible). That would make for a good use of the tickets.

[PGsHeroes32]

Now that was a Moser choke job

Oklahoma can have fun in the NIT

[GoldenEagles03]

This is apparently real (you never know with Twitter). Terrance Shannon Jr. got his jersey retired and it was unveiled upside down 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good thing the number looks the same either way.

[GoldenEagles03]

MSU probably sneaks ahead of Marquette after snatching another Q1 win at Illinois, but Texas is up 4 on Kentucky with 1:35 left. That would be a nice result for our chances at a protected seed.

Worried.

Worried.

We get it
