2024-25 NCAA Basketball Thread

[MU82]

Why would I be so excited about that?

I was just reacting to an unconditional statement that something wouldn't happen when it, in fact, did happen. It wasn't stated as a prediction.

MSU was a 3 point favorite over Wisconsin, so the Badgers winning was hardly an unimaginably unlikely event.

Not a big deal, and MU82 doesn't need you to defend him, especially with the implication that I don't support MU. My comment was hardly  an "attack".

Muggs uses "attack" liberally. If I say it might be raining out, he'd say I'm attacking the weather.

I wanted MSU, obviously, and I thought they'd win. I was wrong. Who gives a whup? I'm happier to have been right about Marquette beating Xavier. But big whup about that, too.

I'll admit I have 50 or so tiers for the word attack.  It's similar the word wind in the Icelandic language.  Regardless, Blue's slobbering over UW and XU should be put to sleep here. 

[MuggsyB]

At what point will we no longer have to deal with these Capital One ads?  Get rid of the Barkley/Sam J/Lee ads, the white guy pimping Masa ads, and that douchebag Trivago stooge as well.  This isn't difficult.

You are really making me laugh with your characterizations of my comments about Xavier and Wisconsin as "slobbering".

There are much more important things, plus they're paying for us to watch for free.

Looks like first team to 40 wins the B18 tournament.

3 straight reviews in the UW game. Refs got it right on the floor all 3 times.

[MuggsyB]

They need to do something about oob reviews under 2 mins.  It's absurd when the call is obvious. 

[CreightonWarrior]

Take a shot for every review. Might not make it to bracket reveal.

Make that 4/4

[Not all scoop users are created equal apparently]

Sorry for your loss Viper

Congrats to both Michigan and Wisconsin for setting basketball back 10 years. 👀

[PointWarrior]

Sad the only joy we have as Marquette. basketball fans is to watch Wisconsin lose a close one in their conference championship game.

But I will take it.

4 and 3 games in respective days will do that.

[HutchwasClutch]

Dusty May is the real deal.

I mean, we are going to hear our name called within the next hour and a half.

[PointWarrior]

Dusty May is the real deal.

Transfers seem to work for him.

Funny how that didn't seem to apply to most of the other conference finals.  👀

If that's the only joy you got out of this Marquette basketball season, my friend, that's on you.

But yes, this latest example of the Weasels always getting it done was enjoyable.

[wisblue]

If only Michigan hadn't had that slump the last couple of weeks, it could have been them playing here instead of the Badgers.

[PointWarrior]

Dusty May is the real deal.

Seems also to play aircraft carriers.

The only joy since Jan 3.   I did not enjoy the thumping of GT without Sorber as much as others did.

Well said!

[wisblue]

Transfers seem to work for him. 

Maybe it will be different for him than it was at FAU but this year he wouldn't have been able to feel a team without a lot of transfers.

It might be easier to attract younger talent to Michigan.
