Running 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Thread

They damn near lost the game. NAU had a 7 footer who got drafted and a bunch of deadly shooters. They never let St. John’s get too far ahead. NAU damn near beat Cincinnati as a 15 seed in 1998 too.

 

Was there as well. I still have the running play by play they handed out because it was this:

Jessie ties a Lumberjack to a tree on the rebound
Postell licks a stamp from 3P land on top
Glover takes a walk in the park for the travel violation
McClintock uses an Axe to chop down the 8 ft turnaround left side

 

All my teams are kaput. Give me a team to root for in the tournament. I suppose Charleston, or hope St. Peter's II emerges.

 

I’m feeling very nostalgic tonight.

Wisconsin = FRAUDS!!!!!!!

 

I completely forgot about the travel. Was so egregious. Kinda cool we were both there for it. Hell, we may have been sitting near each other. I think I was next to Lenn Robbins. When the game was close at half, Gus Johnson went asking for the NAU beat guy to get some more information on the Jacks, which was a cool moment for me since I grew up watching Gus do the sports on one of the DC local broadcasts. The only other tourney games I covered were the sweet 16 games in Phoenix in 2004. UConn, Alabama, Syracuse and Vanderbilt.

 

Wisconsin has fired a football coach and a men's hockey coach in the last six months. The men's hockey program was terrible, but football was very similar to basketball -- plugging along the fringes of relevance, running a scheme unattractive to many recruits and transfers. The firing of Paul Chryst in particular was the sign that "same ol', same ol'" is no longer good enough in Madison. So, Greg Gard likely has some sleepless nights in his near future.

 

Reminds me of the Bob Bradley/Tim Bourret play-by-plays at Clemson games.

 

Two years away from a Sad Wednesday quadruple header at the SEC Tournament. The mind snores.

 

Was that Greg "The Hammer" Valentine coaching New Mexico State at the beginning of that clip?

 

I was thinking Georgia Haas from the glory days of roller derby.
