2024-2025 College Basketball Thread

Spent all morning moving stuff into a new apartment. Gonna eat 100MG before walking over to the women's game in a bit. Let's get weird

 

It pains me to say this as a staunch Wisconsin sports hater but this Wisco basketball team is so good. I didnt think Gard had this philosophy change in him

 

I also think Nolan winter might be an nba player lol

 

Idk the way his three point shot looks to me screams current nba player

 

w/r/t Tennessee/Vandy:

Maybe I watch too much soccer and hear British announcers with no filter, but I'm kinda sick of commentators calling flops and head-snaps "veteran moves" and "selling it"

Call them floppers or cheaters ffs

 

Eating crow about Gard and company this year

 

Ref problem not a player problem

 

It's both, but I'm specifically calling out the commentator problem

 

Maybe it was a chucky issue? But then again they’re playing up tempo at Louisville too so idk

 

I thought Caleb love made a great pass on that last possession but he just lost the ball going up for a shot and the ball went perfectly to a guy cutting the baseline.

The Caleb love experience lol

 

Houston has been insanely impressive the last four minutes. Not the most efficient moments in the world but a bunch of tough runners and a couple threes to take the lead at zona

 

He's the reason KU won a national title lol

 

He’s also the reason they were there.

I’m not a fan of his game, it’s just is what it is

 

When was the last time Arizona has lost a true home game? It doesn’t happen often. Great win by Houston

 

Duke in November

 

That was one of the lowest energy locker room pep talks I’ve ever seen. Players looked like they couldn’t wait for Pearl to finish.

 

Bacot fucking his ankle up imo

 

Yeah I forgot that game wasn’t a neutral site. I don’t think they’ve lost many at home under Lloyd though

 

bombs away in this one

 

he’s like 77-4 there I think. Would have this Duke team on the Gonzaga memorial fraud watch if they weren’t able to win that one.

 

Crazy that Duke/UNC have only played as 1/2 twice

 

UConn absolute meltdown

 

Bama got a realllllly friendly whistle there

 

oh my god their overtime meltdown was arguably worse



what the fuck

 

You get fouled. You're going to the line for two shots. You make the first and I clap twice. You make the second after making the first I clap six times. You make the second after missing the first I clap twice

 

They can’t steal greatness from us

 

Soft and a flop but you’re up 7, so dumb

 

Does Bilas always obsess over the refs like this? Not defending the refs just never heard an announcer do it that much.

 

yes, he’s awful

 

Yes he thinks he's the arbiter of everything

 

Every game. He’s right sometimes but he flops back and forth as much as the refs he complains about

 

Why does Auburn even have Broome out there for an obvious free throw situation?

 

CBB refs are generally bad, but it was like every possession/replay he’d try to disagree with what did or didn’t get called.

Maybe the clowns on BTN aren’t so bad.

 

And the next espn game is already at halftime, 2 hour time slots for collage basketball is ridiculous

 

It's perfect. Who needs to watch the first half of a basketball game?

 

What an arrogant cunt Joe Lunardi. We should have left this loser in his basement 25 years ago.

 

LSU hits a four-point play, gets a steal, then gets another and-one to turn a 5 point deficit into a lead with 10 seconds left

 

I know it’s not the point of the tweet but in what universe did Terrance Shannon’s accomplishments at Illinois merit jersey honoring

 

Apparently hoopin' while wearing his jersey upside down.


I'll see myself out

 

Nice

 

Kansas-Utah game okay now lets see

 

This Kansa Utah game is disgusting and a lot of people should feel bad

 

how about the kid who is 1-of-9 from the FT line

 

Keith Van Horn ain't walking through the door

 

Probably gonna be a decent amount of talking heads picking Illinois as a surprise team in March only to fall in the first round to New Mexico

 

UC San Diego being top 40 at KenPom is absurd
