Running 2023-24 NCAA Basketball Thread

So I like to look up these losing schools. From College of Biblical Studies website: The women are now 0-7, with a 106-19 loss to Huston-Tillotson and a 94-22 loss to Xavier (presumably Louisiana). Closest game is an 80-57 loss to Randall University. The men, however, are 6-5 with 2 games not posted.

 

I'm a huge Dawn Staley fan, but I don't think this is a great look, a coach criticizing the officiating in a game they are not involved in.

The box score is wild. Biblical Studies only attempted 43 field goals and had 57 turnovers. Grambling attempted 119 shots.

 

God was not on their side.

 

Maybe they were studying Job.

 

When punching bags need punching bags...

 

Chicago State is 7-13, which is actually one of its better seasons in a while, and made a credible showing last night in a 62-55 loss at Kansas State. In reward, the Cougars get to bus down to Stillwater for another game tonight.

They have three home games remaining, none against Division I schools. The season is scheduled to end Feb. 19.

 

No choice as an independent. Tough to find games once conference play heats up. They'll be in the Northeast Conference next year at least so that will be less of a problem.

 

Maybe he was talking about the Scottish isle of Bute.

Or he likes horses and had a racing med in mind.

 

Meh. No big deal.

 

Some of the "highlights." Oh, brother.

 

Opening the game in a press? Really?

EDIT: 58-4, and still in a press?
