2025 NCAA Tourney Thread

Bama is what scoopers think mubb offense is when they see the post game shot quality chart.

[MuggsyB]

97 pts with 7 minutes left?

With 22 triples.  Sears I think is 9/14.

Broke Jean Felix's school record set against us in 2006 with 10 (so far). That was a name I never wanted to hear again

Fair.  But I guess to my point, look no further than Proctor.  Also 6'6, actually shooting better than Kon on the year, only a year older (not like he's a 5th year senior), and also has the knock/question mark of explosiveness, playmaking, creating his shot at the next level.  But he wasn't a highly touted McD AA coming into Duke, and he's a late second round pick.

If I had to guess, they both spend stretches in the G League next year (like Reed Sheppard) but both are contributing on a team 5 years from now.

Amusingly, Ive seen Corey Kispert as a comp for Kon a couple places.  And that actually tracks on my opinion, he's been...fine, but putting up ok numbers on a bad team that scores a lot of points.

Yeah I don't think Kon will be a starter from day 1. I think Kispert is a very good comparison. I personally think Kon has much higher potential defensively and to be a playmaker though.

This coulda been MU but all year long Muggs screwed us refusing to making the necessary animal sacrifices

[MUEng92]

BYU is on a 92 point pace and also getting blown out

Nobody is beating Bama when they shoot over 45% on a ton of 3s.  But they also won't do that every game.

Stop projecting your frustrations on the animal kingdom. 

The 🦣 🦣 🦣 will be back by 2028.  Perhaps we should consider a new nickname.

Good thing is the gators are devouring the turtles today

I love anytime a turtle is trampled

It's curtains for Maryland.  Willard should apologize to the 🐢 🐢 🐢 🐢 population for him he handled everything. 

[MUEng92]

Huh, that whole description by Jim Jackson about why the best recruit in the nation would go to BYU and nothing about what he'll learn in his classes

🐢 🐢 🐢 defamation is uncalled for. 

[tower912]

Turtles are being usurped.

Jonathan the 🐢 is usurping mortality Tower.

Why should it?

Read up on how BYU conducts finals. Very different than our MU experience.

[MuggsyB]

Not a great start for Duke. 

[MuggsyB]

Terrible start for Tex Tech!

[MarquetteMike1977]

Marquette's Ken Pom rating is better than UCONN's Creighton's and Arkansas' Ken Pom ratings

Hang a banner?

[MuggsyB]

Duke fans don't sound thrilled with the foul calls. 

[Billy Hoyle]

Brutal finish of the half for Arizona.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Duke with 2 big 3's at the end of the half. But if Duke loses we have only 3 conferences left. Does that affect any potential ACC Big East Merger and What if anything is going on in this front

[MuggsyB]

What are you suggesting?

Are you seriously asking whether the outcome of a single basketball game will affect a potential conference merger?
