Running 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Thread

Cal will not go winless.

 

Hokies with the schedule loss at BC last night. Four days before Christmas in front of dozens of onlookers at Conte Forum. There's never a good time to play up there, but that had to have been the worst possible time to play. Back in my days of covering hoops, I remember how checked out the players were for that last game before Christmas. Though it was usually a non-conference game.

 

Peace on earth/Goodwill to men …

Izzo threw a fit and got a technical in the game Wednesday night against Oakland. No story in the New York Post.

But Izzo is 5-6, 190 and white, and Howard is 6-9, 270 and black.

 

So road games with no crowd are more difficult than those with a raucous, amped-up and packed house? I have never grasped that one.
Actually, most times are good times to play at BC. At .449, the Eagles' home winning % in ACC games is the second-worst in ACC history. Only Pitt (.417) is worse.
Having said all of that, I think the Hokies will be fine. Good team in a bad league.

 

Izzo also wore an elf sweater

 

This was Bobby Knight on any given day.

 

Izzo's gonna be a 1-timer, isn't he?

Does NIL cover all college sports or just football?

 

Everything. I think the top earner the first few months was some gymnast from LSU.

 

I don’t think there’s enough NIL money in the bank to make me want to wear a jersey with CLT across the front. Dear God I hope the women’s teams for Charlotte don’t have to wear those.
