Running 2023-24 NCAA Basketball Thread

Pretty gutsy performance by Kansas at Indiana. Down 13 midway through the second half and fought back.

 

There may not be 200 people in the stands watching UCLA/Ohio State………in Atlanta.

 

This was pretty bad.

 

Meanwhile in Indianapolis…

 

Does not indicate a good future for B1G hoops.

 

I'm sure UCLA fans are very loyal but it seems a lot to ask them to travel across the country for a one-off the weekend before Christmas.
Ohio State basketball fans don't travel outside of Indianapolis and Chicago unless it's an NCAA Tournament game

 

I give Nate Oats a lot of credit.
He will play anyone anywhere.
Played Purdue in Canada last week.
Playing Creighton in Omaha right now.
Playing Arizona in Phoenix next week.

 

But he won't play UAB, either in Tuscaloosa or Birmingham.

 

Especially when UCLA is playing a bowl game basically at home tonight.

 

There are 4 undefeated teams in Division I: Houston, Oklahoma, Ole Miss and JMU.
Speaking of playing anybody, I have no general regard for Penny Hardaway, who cheats and still can’t really achieve much,. But he did schedule Mizzou, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Michigan, Virginia, Villanova, ATM and Clemson.

 

Not his call to make. Basically going to need a few boomer trustees to die off.

I’d like to see the series, but playing UAB this year would be like drawing a SWAC team. They’ve had dogshit chemistry to start the season.
