2024-25 NCAA Basketball Thread

They will get calls in Milwaukee too unfortunately...they got a crazy good whistle 2 years ago.

Vividly remember Chase on a fast break and Klemsit jumping in front of him and getting the charge call.

It's time for Marquette to introduce Whisky to utter darkness.  That's all I have to say. No excuses.

Michigan fouls up 3, Wisconsin misses the front end, Michigan shooting the bonus with 2 sec left.

I agree, but UW draws unlimited fouls...we have to play violent without fouling and we will win. If they leave open shooters off doubles and don't put their fingerprints on the game defensively, they lose.

Michigan misses the front end but hangs on.

Badgers undefeated no more.

Far and away their number one game plan will be to try to and get Kam in foul trouble. He's been prone to it this year. We'll see if they succeed.

The greatest offensive juggernaut ever manages 64 whole points at home against a mediocre opponent.

Eliminate Tonje and run them to death.

Their offensive strategy at least tonight was to get Blackwell or Tonje in dribble drives and then look to kick it out.  Their drives were not screen based, but just hard drives, trying to get to the basket or get fouls.  I'm super curious to see how this will work against the BE DPOY and the "most disruptive player" (per Sam Vecenie today) in college basketball this year.  The last thing I would do against Marquette is to start a dribble to the middle of the lane, but Klesmit will probably have 7 3s or something.

Why not just kill em all?!?!?

Also, skin some badgers in the AM

[PointWarrior]

Sure, the one time I may have been ok with a Badger win.  But nooo....

Pick up The Wind Up Bird Chronicle when you get a chance.  I'm not for skinning anyone but that's a good read. 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

This was their first game against a top 25 defense. It went about the way I expected it to go.

Michigan is 17 in Kenpom. Getting a real coach does wonders.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Clemson up 7 on Kentucky with 7 minutes left.

[romey]

Clemson playing hard. The clock is the enemy.

Michigan is 17 in Kenpom. Getting a real coach does wonders.

Not to mention a completely new roster of transfers and freshmen  including two veteran seven footers who played well together. I think there's only one player in the rotation who played for Michigan last year.

Their 25 point win over Xavier suggests they aren't very mediocre and might improve as they get more games together

[MuggsyB]

No idea what Kentucky was thinking there down 4 and letting Clemson take the full shot clock. 

[romey]

Clemson leaving the door slightly open

[romey]

Inbound the ball to the front court Clemson.

[romey]

Commence the court storming

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Cincinnati, Wisconsin, and Kentucky all fall from the ranks of the unbeaten tonight.

Once in awhile the stars allign.  Every team we wanted to lose, lost.

#4 goes down.

How nice would it be if 24 hrs from now
Marquette wins at Iowa St
Auburn loses at Duke
Kansas loses at Creighton

That would make for one of the biggest MU v UW games in history on Saturday.

It's not Wisconsin I can't stand, it's their arrogant condescending moronic hypocrital fan base that makes me drink straight Ketel😎

[MU82]

I sit corrected on Michigan being better than mediocre. Thanks for the data, folks.

Still loved seeing the rodents become roadkill at home. Here's hoping it's even uglier for them Saturday at Fiserv.
