Running 2023-24 NCAA Basketball Thread

Reminiscent of the ODU football elevator fiasco of a couple of years ago.
Tell me you have no business being in Division I without telling me you have no business being in Division I.

 

"How am I gonna break this record ... aw, fuck it! KOBE!"

 

I turned it off to watch Connor Bedard. She already has 26.

 

Clark is probably the most popular player in the country, certainly the most well-known. Now, I do not know the Big Ten's TV policy. But I don't understand how that game can't be on the Big Ten Network, instead of Peacock. Instead we get meaningless games between Northwestern and Rutgers and Minnesota-Purdue.

Clark might have generated the highest ratings in BTN history.

 

She’s gonna pass Maravich by the end of the regular season at this rate.

 

49 tonight.

 

I checked twice, possibly three times to make sure this wasn’t a Sam Mills joke.

 

All determined pre-season.

Which is odd considering football kickoff times are decided seemingly 10 minutes before the game starts

 

I hope she scripted that her record-breaking shot was going to be something that if that was the only shot someone would ever see her make, it would be something they would remember.

 

Could have easily been altered.

 

Oh yes, I’m sure the folks at Peacock would have been thrilled to give away a ratings draw for the greater good.

 

As I said, I'm not all that familiar with Big Ten basketball TV protocol. Are women's games regularly televised by Peacock? Does Peacock/NBC have the rights? I've hardly ever seen college basketball on NBC, either men's or women's. Or is this a one-off?

BTN could have televised every Iowa game this season and every one of them would have gotten better ratings than Rutgers-Northwestern.
