2024-25 NCAA Basketball Thread

Terrible loss for Bradley last night at Illinois State.  The Barves drop to third in the Valley and probably lose a spot in Milwaukee.

St. Thomas also lost.  The Tommies loss dropped them into a tie for first with UNO in the Summit.  South Dakota shakes things up by holding serve at home against St. Thomas and puts a dagger into them playing in Milwaukee next month.

Speaking of teams playing in Milwaukee, really rooting for the badgers, Purdue, Illinois, Michigan, Michigan state, Iowa state to be placed in MKE just for my tickets sake.

Gates called TO with 1.5 seconds left in Mizzou's win over Bama so he could get on a microphone and tell fans to not rush the court.

And the fans listened.

Smart.  He saved the school hundreds of thousands of dollars.

They can afford a couple of more players next season.

You dont even attempt to hide your live for Red on here.

love?...more like serious HATE, but begrudging respect, for the program 60 miles to my west. Intuition not your strength, it seems.

I don't follow this very well.
I can't comprehend how fouling early does anything more than create a FT contest.

[MU82]

I know Alabama is really good.

But I also know that they just allowed 110 points last night.

110!

Be better. Thx.

Try not to talk about UW basketball on a MUBB site.

No, Gates.

Derik Queen is a good fit for the NBA.
In that he likes to take defensive possessions off now and then.

Yeah, he's not coach's kid

#1 is a stretch, but I do think that teams will be kicking themselves if he goes all the way down at 14-16 where he's projected. The kid is huge and shows the signs of being able to have an NBA level polished offensive game. And he's got the body to be a good defender.

It's unlikely that Michigan or MSU would play here. Even if they would move up enough to get a preferred location, Cleveland would be the closer site that would still have an opening.

The only realistic way for Illinois to play here would be as a 6 or 7 seed in a pod with a 3 or 2 that is not a Big 10 team (like Iowa State).

The most likely protected seeds here are 2 of Iowa State, Wisconsin, and Purdue.Right now, Iowa State and Wisconsin have  the inside track after Purdue's 3 recent losses.

Buckeyes not helping their bubble case getting blown out at home by Notthwestern .

[BM1090]

Its going to be annoying as f*ck when Wisconsin finishes 2nd in the big ten.

[MuggsyB]

The Iowa St /Houston game just got a lot less interesting with Gilbert out. 

[The Sultan]

This Wisconsin team is proving that Gard should have ditched the swing offense years ago.

They are very connected and fun to watch.

Hard to believe the trajectories of Wisconsin and Marquette now. 

[MU82]

Hard to believe the trajectories of Wisconsin and Marquette now. 

Shows how great a coach Gard is - as if winning 2 NCAAT games in 8 years wasn't enough proof.

[MuggsyB]

Oregon's last month has been reminiscent of Marquette.  They're not playing good basketball.  Wisconsin looks really good but the B18 isn't much better than the BEast. 

[GoldenEagles03]

I can't tell if I'd love or hate the matchup against Buzz in a 2nd round 6/3 matchup.

They'd probably bully us, but their offense is very questionable.

They would get 35 offensive boards
