Running 2023-24 NCAA Basketball Thread

I'm not suggesting the NCAA is intentionally sabotaging the women's tournament. I am suggesting the NCAA does not give a single shit about the tournament and makes that clear over and over.

The weight room is a great example. The NCAA thought a single rack of dumbbells was a perfectly acceptable "weight room" for the women. When they got called out for it and it went viral, they lied about it. When they got called out on THAT, and people like Steph Curry started jumping in, then they actually addressed it.

Need a breakout interview space for the biggest star player the woman's game has ever seen? Fuck it, throw a curtain in front of the beeping forklift. They don't care if it works -- they just want to be able to claim that they did something, and anyone who wants it to actually work is simply entitled.

 

All the teams get a 30-minute shootaround the day before. You'd think somebody would have noticed the bad lines at that time.

 

None of the coaches or players noticed it either. Not being snarky at all, but what does that say about them?

It's one of those things you take for granted, until you find out you shouldn't have. I know they measure the height of the basket from the floor and check to see the game balls are properly inflated before every game because I've seen them do it.

 

Check out Coach Dale over here.

 

It looked good ... until the third quarter.

And that's what the Chickens can do to you. Doesn't have to be 40 minutes of running over you, but that one burst and ..

 

That escalated quickly

 

better go get a shot for that

 

You mean "the Chickens are frying" doesn't work?
