2025-26 College Hoops Thread

[MuggsyB]

Incredible BYU Comeback 45-21 over Clemson in the 2nd half and BYU wins on a 3 at the Buzzer 67-64 take note Marquette. And UCONN hangs ON to beat Florida 77-73

Mullins had like 5 fouls in 6 mins but yiu can tell the kid is good.  Florida misses their guards fron last year but are still very dangerous.  Even with a 5-4 start. 

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Dybantsa is the #1 pick.  He can do it all. 

Boozer, Peterson, and Dybantsa are all worthy of the #1 pick.  It's like having Anthony Edwards, Cade Cunningham, and Cooper Flagg all in the same draft.

Purdue up 30 on Minny.  This could help us Saturday?

It was a 3 point game at half and i bet the farm on Purdue -18.5. Crazy run to start the second half.

Reminds me of what MU used to do to teams in the second half of games many times during Shaka's tenure.

Those were the days!

Nebraska up 16 at the half vs the Weasels.  Normally I would be elated, but it's not lessening my depression over MU hoops and our catastrophic issues.

Agree and Wisconsin is shooting 4/19 from 3 against Nebraska. Against Marquette Wisconsin shot 14/33 from 3.

The thought that Nebraska is vastly superior right now to MU is extremely upsetting.  Just sayin...

[MuggsyB]

And there is absolutely zero excuses that we do not have players that can shoot at all.

And playing much smarter - they're chasing  over screens to keep Blackwell from getting open looks. And they have beautiful ball movement on offense.

[GoldenEagles03]

This UW team isn't good. Shaka called Blackwell an NBA player after our game and he's now 1-8. I think maybe we just don't have a defense.

Everybody seems to have their best offensive night against us. Doesn't matter who it is.

[MuggsyB]

Sam Hoiberg is running roughshod right now on Bucky.  Take a few minutes to ponder this fact.

Make that 1-10.

30 pt lead for Nebraska.  They're literally scoring at will.

This UW team isn't good. That Maryland team wasn't good. Oklahoma isn't good. Dayton isn't good. Indiana is ok.

But when I stated that Whisky wasn't "explosive" Blue responded as if they were OKC.  Perhaps they're not?

Yah ... every day I feel worse about MU, and this train wreck of a season.

UW is a 10 or 11 seed ( or worse ), and
will be middle of the pack in B10.  Yet they destroyed MU.  They embarrassed us from start to finish... it was not ever a game.  Wow .... But, Shaka believes in growth 

I'd rather he believed in shooters.

Thankfully every day we are closer to the end of this season.

I still hold out hope that we can see some guys grow up. Maybe start off Big East play hot and give themselves something to play for the rest of the way. And by something to play for, I mean a respectable standing in the Big East.

Hopefully they find something positive.

I would shake things up if I was Shaka.  I'm not saying it would result in more wins, or change this complete debacle, but we need to have an idea if some of our young players will contribute next season.

He sort of already did that by starting Stevens, and it worked!

Hopefully Parham replaced Hamilton next and Clark eats into the minutes Hamilton has left.

Oof. What would it take for Weasel Land to show Gard the door in March?

[rocky_warrior]

If he doesn't already know where the door is, it would be rude to wait until March to show him!

[MU82]

22% on 3s, but they kept chucking. Doesn't Gard have them work on anything else in practice?

[JTJ3]

After this year Gard will have 3 tourney wins in 9 years.  Paul Chryst was fired despite being way more successful.  Will be interesting to see what happens, considering they're pumping all the money into football and not basketball over there.
