2024-25 NCAA Basketball Thread

[Scoop Snoop]

Seriously? I just watched an angry UConn team get beat by a bad Colorado team and you think they'll kick the s#!t out of a Dayton team that has gone toe to toe with UNC & Iowa St?

Maybe a different UConn shows up today, but I expect Dayton to win that. They have been the much, much better team in Maui so far.

Wow! No question that Dayton has been kicking ass and that UCONN has some big chinks in their armor, but your prediction has me even more nervous about our trip to Dayton.

Ya....that's hard to see based on their last two games.  Brew, Auburn and Iowa St. look like the two best teams in the country to me right now.  That Auburn come back was incredible based on how the Clones looked in the 1H.  Can we turn Iowa St. over?  Will Kam have to go ballistic?  Benny stretching the floor could help.  They're good and will be a very difficult challenge in Ames.  The fact that the game is on ESPN+ is an embarrassment imo.

Don't disagree that Uconn hasn't shown up yet. But that team is too talented and Hurley too good a coach for the switch not to flip at some point. I just think they get their catharsis game out of their system here.

Lots of teams have lotsa transfers... but Memphis... holy crap... sooo many MULTIPLE transfer guys. Don't love that look personally. Penny? More like megabucks

[wadesworld]

Can someone please give me a breakdown of the free throw discrepancy between Iowa State and Dayton?  And if you could please make it about the length of a short novel, that would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway, go UCONN.

about the length of a short novel,

I'm not against the transfer / NIL rules, but it does make it very hard to know what team is playing if you're just listening.

Just found out Chucky Hepburn plays for Louisville now, lol.

[Uncle Rico]

Louisville up 8 at half over Indiana.  Is the ACC better than the Big 18?

[PGsHeroes32]

Indiana in first half against Louisville they didn't have a single guard or bench player score. The 3 starting bigs had all 29 pts

They are currently down 62-37 in the 2nd half

Woodson, just not a good coach.

IU fans agree.  Should have cut ties last season and brought in Dusty May.



This guarantees IU moves past MU in the polls.

I'm guessing your wife is not enjoying the game?

[MU82]

IUScoop game thread must be real salty!

[1SE]

Just saw the IU score

[tower912]

At work.  So, no.

[Scoop Snoop]

Lucky her.

[Uncle Rico]

Indiana simply isn't a relevant program at all

[Uncle Rico]

Brown trash bagging Stony Brook, 18-5

[MarquetteMike1977]

Indiana simply isn't a relevant program at all

Am guessing is Mark Cuban spending his money from selling majority share in the Mavs on the Indiana football program and not as much on the basketball program

[Uncle Rico]

Brown 68 Stony Brook 40

Would we win the Ivy?

Mark Few with a rare coaching blunder that was a product of forgetting  a rule.

WVU hits a 3 then forces a steal down 2 and gets fouled with 5.9 seconds left. With two shots to tie, Zags subbed out Nembhard for rebounding size.

DeVries makes both free throws. Few then uses his TO the moment the ball goes through the net.

Tries to put nembhard back in. But cant do that. No time came off the clock. Now they are out of TOs. Had to go for the win with no Nembhard. Needless to say, didn't get a shot off

[PJDunn]

And Few's parent's blunder was not sending the poor sap to an orthodontist. His grill is as nasty as Cooley's scalp.

[Uncle Rico]

Providence up 2 with 3:59 left in the 1st Half against Oklahoma.  Wonder if Porter's seat gets warm if they don't dance this year

[RJax55]

No way. He's from Naperville.

[tower912]

Auburn held Memphis to two 3pt attempts in the first half.  Wow.
