Running 2023-24 NCAA Basketball Thread

Thank you, I was trying to find this because I remember something about it happening. I think others have done this as well.

I'll give Tony Bennett credit here, too. He's taken Virginia down to the Siegel Center to play VCU. He's also gone to Harrisonburg to play JMU. VT used to play roadies against in-state teams like VMI, Liberty and ODU but that stopped once Greenberg got there and hasn't really materialized since.

 

Hopefully he's gone to JMU for the last time after he agreed to play there to open their new arena and was serenaded with F-bombs for his efforts.

In reality, I doubt that's the case, considering UVA Health System is JMU's court sponsor.

 

Auriemma does the same scheduling with UConn.

 

She can be pissed at the performance but still somewhat OK with it inside for the reason noted. Plus, if your message as a coach to the players is “you can’t live on last year’s glory,” you need to present a less-than-pleased face to them.

 

At least Bishop Sycamore isn't on the list.

I understand that most of these players didn’t come to play school, but transferring from Oral Roberts to Loyola-Chicago still has to be a head-turning experience.

 

Look up T. Denny Sanford

 

I have to think a few people - maybe even some women - dressed up as Kim Mulkey for Halloween.

 

How are they going to enforce that? What do they do if the departing coach just says "stick it?"

 

Liquidated damages.

 

That Kent State floor is a fucking mess.
