Running 2023-24 NCAA Basketball Thread

Congrats VMI. Beat El Cid 70-63 and is off the schneid.

 

Graduated from high school in 1976. Came back to watch the alma mater in the NCS playoffs the next season and totally amazed that we had white guys who dunked!

 

Also missed a year to coach the 1996 Olympic team.

Anyway, Bay area media seems to be backing off the "broke Coach K's record" in today's tweets for the more-correct "became the winningest college basketball coach."

 

#10 Memphis goes down to Tulane. It's the Wave's first win over a top 10 team since 1983 (also against Memphis) and their first win over a top 25 team this century.

 

The losing streak against AP-ranked opponents was 53 games, only five of which were closer than 10 points. That's some kind of streak.

 

I'm pretty disgusted by the mental midgets on social media who think Clark was flopping there.

 

Exactly, jr. Saw a couple of media members post that hot take, which is ridiculous.

When we've reached a point where people see the need to post that instead of, "Maybe people who aren't supposed to be on the court should stay off the court?" it's a(nother) sad reflection on today's social media landscape.

 

Maybe don't trespass.

 

It’s also a reflection of the growing popularity of women’s college basketball, and how ADs and other school officials are going to have to adjust.

Assuming this was just some random yahoo that accidentally ran into Clark, Ohio State needed more security to handle a sellout crowd that attended Sunday’s game.

 

Fuck. That 7-2 Croatian player now eligible for Kentucky is going to be a problem.
