2025-26 College Hoops Thread

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

So with Kolek out of the Knicks rotation and Kam not playing at all until recently, let's just wait until the Big East Tournament and find an MU alum judge to file a restraining order allowing those two and Justin Lewis to play for Marquette.  Plus Wade left with eligibility remaining, so bring him on board.  Win the BET, play them the first 2 weeks of the NCAA Tournament, and then be found ineligible and lose in the Final Four.

Speaking of Tyler Kolek, WFAN radio in NYC is running ads for a Cadillac dealership in Queens where TK is doing the entire ad. 
"Hi it's me, Tyler Kolek of the NYK......."

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Except the last part.

Dybantsa is absolutely killing Baylor.  He's so unbelievably smooth and patient with his dribble

They are projected as a 7 seed right now with all that talent. Right in line with what we were last year.

[MuggsyB]

Fanta is not a play by play tv guy.   

[CountryRoads]

Fanta is nor a play by play tv guy. 

He's embarrassingly awful. He has a certain charm on twitter and what not but terrible on tv.

Ya....I think it's fair to say he's pretty terrible. 

[WhiteTrash]

Fair to say Tang at K-State isn't a RGV kind of guy:
"These dudes do not deserve to wear this uniform," Tang said. "There will be very few of them in it next year. I'm embarrassed for the university. I'm embarrassed for our fans and our student section. It is just ridiculous."

[tower912]

K-State has other problems (assistant coach) and their fanbase is pissed about spending huge bucks in the portal only to get a subpar product.
Tang may not be in a K-State quarter zip next season.

May not? He's gone.

So how would that work? Would they be walk-ons?

the judge would also have to declare the NCAA's roster caps null and void.

There are three justices on the Wisconsin Supreme Court with MU degrees, let's get it done!

Yeah who are we to limit the opportunities of people to get paid for their services?  Just time it right so that the NCAA can rule it all illegal/players ineligible after we've won the games we need to (BET and as many NCAAT games as we can get in before a court date).

it is going to be interesting to see how the committee treats Alabama and the five games they played with Bediako. They went 3-2. Does the committee not count the three wins? I'd normally think they'd cower to Greg Sankey but he came out in opposition to Bediako playing so who the hell knows.

Very interesting indeed. If they nullify the wins, I can only guess that they will be sued.

After getting smacked down multiple times, it seems the university presidents and legal counsels have resigned themselves to having the actual systems in power make the final verdict.

Watching Missouri St against LA Tech on CBS Sports Network not many people in the stands

[Viper]

UW-Green Bay looked good tonight. 10-6 in the Horizon. Gottlieb!  Perfect landing spot for Tre Norman, Caedin Hamilton and Sean Jones. Sandy Cohen took his talents to GB...this trio should too! Do it!

Cohen was at least from the area.

Anyway, I give Gottleib credit. He really upped the talent this year and got some experience on his staff. Quitting the radio show was a good move for him, although my understanding is that he was "highly encouraged" to do so .  If he manages to get GB into the tournament, it would the turnaround of the season.

[Scoop Snoop]

That would be great. An alumnus coach and his team in the tourney! Our team could watch them on TV.

Alumnus coach?

Alumnus coach?


Stupid mistake on my part. I was thinking of Wardle. 

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Gottlieb almost transferred to Marquette, but he wasn't able to steal a spot.

[Billy Hoyle]

Gottlieb almost transferred to Marquette, but he wasn't able to steal a spot.

Yep. Deane had him committed, but the MU administration (correctly) vetoed it due to what happened at ND.

It was right there, man.

Now that he's proven himself a Big East starter maybe CSUN or other Big West programs will take Caedin, or at least have him in for an official visit.

Jones could be a really good pickup for Ohio U or Bowling Green. And Norman could have his pick of Merrimack, UMass-Lowell, or Boston U.
