Running 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Thread

The Cardinal could not run an in bounds to save their lives.

 

Speaking of not being able to run an in bounds ...

 

Iowa women went from nearly being eliminated again in the second round to having a nice path to the Final Four with Stanford out.

 

Frogs were +4.5 BTW. That’s going to be a 3-minute segment for SVP.

 

I know the bracket is great and all but that’s not a second round matchup

 

I don’t know — Ole Miss looked like a better version of Georgia, whose defense pressure forced a bunch of Iowa turnovers today.

 

On the bright side, TCU's basketball team held Gonzaga to fewer first-half points than its football team held Georgia to.

 

Agreed. Ole Miss played hellacious defense tonight.

 

Wait, so it's OK to do it to swing money for the gamblers? C'mon, man.

 

Big East and SEC each have three teams remaining in the field of 16. Big 12 has two. ACC, Big Ten and Pac-12 each have one. Those last three conferences had a combined 15 teams in the 64 team field. Cut anything down by 75 percent and there will be a lot of attrition in its subgroups, but that's not a strong showing.

 

Big Ten was weird. It put a bunch of teams in but outside of Purdue (5) no one was better than 30 in the NET. So in short, a lot of teams that were probably supposed to lose on the first weekend lost. Michigan State overachieved. Indiana (maybe?) underachieved, just a bit.

The ACC just wasn't very good this year. I thought Miami was probably the best of the bunch, consistency wise, and I'm not surprised they're the last ones standing. Though I stand by my previous Duke comments. Thought they were playing great ball at the right time and just couldn't handle the wrestling match with Tennessee.

 

I'm with you. Of all the things to be upset about.
