Running 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Thread

Each team scored 2 points in the first OT.

No, Rick Barnes was not coaching both teams.***

FAU racking up those tourney credits it will never see.

 

True. Calling that a top-five game in tourney history would be a case of recency bias, but K State committed five turnovers while scoring 98 points. Teams combined to shoot nearly 50% from 3. And Michigan State's turnover total of 13 was low as well. Tremendous game.

 

That last thing is perhaps the most amazing. This is the UCLA dynasty, winner of seven straight titles and leading by seven points with no 3-point shot and no rule stopping the clock in the final minute of play. Wild.

 

Meanwhile Gonzaga got its life together while we weren’t looking. What happened to the Bruins offense?

 

Nowell told Isaiah Thomas "Watch this," then proceeded to fake argue with his coach to distract the defense and throw a Sweet 16-game-winning reverse dunk ally oop to a guy who should have died 3 years ago, and in doing so, set the NCAA tournament assist record.

Hate to be a victim of the moment, but I'm not sure there's a more legendary single play in K-State history. Granted I wasn't alive for the Final Four and finals teams of the 50s/60s.

 

This is crazy. Daughter texting me from the bar she works at. Everyone in Boca going crazy.

 

Knuck if you buck.

Way to panic there Gonzaga

 

It’s impressive how Gonzaga has had a corny looking white dude who chokes every year for like the last 15.

 

What a terrible great shot
