Running 2023-24 NCAA Basketball Thread

I think they do this every week or so now until Selection Sunday, don't they?

 

No, it’s just the one mid-season “if the tournament started today” teaser. They’ve been doing it probably close to a decade now.

 

As much as I despise Kelvin Sampson, I think Houston is the best team.
Don’t know if they will win the tournament or not.

 

A turned on the tv a while ago, and Buzz Williams is on the court in live play. They stopped the game. I believe they gave him a warning.

 

You think that’s something? You should have seen him last Saturday.

 

Yeah they mentioned last week on the broadcast.

 

Indiana is going to wear some hideous black adidas alternates tomorrow and fans are ready to riot here.

 

Virginia missed its first 10 free throws today and made its 11th --- and final --- one.

 

UConn had a stretch last season between New Year’s Eve and Jan. 25 when they went 2-6. Excluding that glitch in the matrix they’ve gone 52-4 since November 2022. And they’re toying with Marquette right now.

 

Most of 'em wouldn't say a word if the team was in the top 10.

But I am not a fan when schools bring out alternates that aren't actually rooted in the school's existing color/brand scheme. I love alternates, just not when they're so far afield.

 

UConn is better than they were last year. A repeat title wouldn't surprise me. I'll be sorely disappointed if we don't get a UConn-Purdue matchup somewhere in the tournament.

 

I don't want to agree but when they are at full strength I don't know what their weakness is.

However I do fear the tournament is just Big 12: Survivor. They beat each other up so their records won't be exciting but they're battle-tested and someone's going to get to the final four not facing anyone better than they have in the league and ultimately snipe a title.
