Running 2023-24 NCAA Basketball Thread

They won’t leave him out.

 

VCU’s 3-point defense was abhorrent yesterday and the Rams were lucky St. Joe’s didn’t take advantage in the first half. Duquesne ain’t fucking around today though. Going to be a tall task to come back here.

 

I feel so bad for Brown. Turnover. Missed free throws.

 

Poor Brown. Up by 6 with 27 seconds left. Lose on a short baseline buzzer beater. I knew nothing about Brown before an hour ago. This was a brutal beat.

 

Unbelievable choke by Brown. That was incredible. At least they have their degrees.

 

"Hey Rick, is this the new most miserable experience of your life?"

 

Starting with that foul on the layup with 22 seconds. Just let the guy score, they'd still be up 4. Though might not have mattered with the way they were shooting FTs. Columbia's gym is a fun place when it's packed, wish I wasn't currently away from the city as the men's and women's tourneys would have been a blast this year.

 

Seems like half the conference tourneys have been in NYC or Vegas.

 

I wonder if the Mountain West takes over T-Mobile Arena with the PAC-12 gone.

 

So far, this game has been a flashback to a Cheney-Baron rockfight style A-10 match-up. First team to 50, 55 might win.

 

Word around Spartyland is they're getting ready to host some NIT games. Bid stealers have kicked them down near the NCAA cut line.

If they do make the big show, it's smelling like they may be sent to Dayton for a playin game.

 

Izzo-Pitino would be the most juice the play-in round has had.
