Running 2023-24 NCAA Basketball Thread

This has been a great game. It’s a shame the winner is going to get murked by UConn.

 

Over/under next Saturday: 2,000.

 

If Alabama shoots the last 30 minutes like they did tonight, I’ll give them a punchers chance.
Start 1-13……make 15 of next 23,

 

So far my favorite Facebook post is my friend who videoed his whole family jumping fully clothed into the pool while Yea Alabama blared on the speaker.

 

The LAT column was offensive and sexist.
Armour has engaged in selective memory. She wonders where the expose on DJ Durkin went. These pieces are not hard to find if you’re willing to look.
A group of Maryland football parents is strongly against DJ Durkin’s returnA group of Maryland football parents is strongly against DJ Durkin’s return

Re: Chris Beard, it’s hard to write exposes about Beard and domestic violence when the case is dropped.

Kim Mulkey as victim of a sexist double-standard? Nope.

 

First off, congrats, Dixie.

Second, looks like House Divided tomorrow has agreed to watch in opposite corners of the neighborhood (I have a house on one side, the Duke alum has one on the other side, with my uncle somewhere closer to the latter). But at least the women - barring some serious OT - will get done around time for the guys to tip off in Dallas.

 

Verbatim.

Other than the fact that LSU was facing UCLA, why did anyone at the Times green-light this garbage? According the WWL, UCLA coach Cori Close played it up on social media without reading it ... then later apologized to Mulkey and LSU's players.

Are we sure this wasn't, in part, some attempt to piggyback off the anticipation of the WaPo piece?

Speaking of the WaPo piece, Mulkey overreacted and her attempt to get out in front of it probably did more to fan flames than if she and the people in Baton Rouge who were trying to help her had just ignored it. The willingness of someone to hold grudges to this level is something I still don't understand. I've watched grudges embitter far too many people in my life. For the sake of humanity, just take a bigger look at things to those who think that all grudges are worth digging into for a lifetime.

 

I can get why she would hold a grudge against her dad for what he did (not to the extent that 50 years later he lives in a shack while she banks millions) but I'd like to know what happened with her sister

 

I say LSU - Iowa will clear 15 m viewers easily

And I'm taking LSU.

 

I gotta go back and watch that early in-game interview with Illini coach Underwood where he says they are going to continue to take it to the UConn big man

 

Clingan v Edey would be fun and callback to 70’s and 80’s, Hayes v Alcindor; Ewing v Olajuwon
