2024-25 College Basketball Thread

Valparaiso is the Beacons??

 

Switched after white supremacists were using Crusades and Crusaders in their hate spewing.

 

I was there!

 

AzSt TT with maybe the game of the year.

 

I wonder if there were multiple incidents during the game that lead up to that.

 

As to the first one, I’m not a lip-reader. What did he say?
In the second, English kept receipts. Well done.

 

The implication is that he said: you racist son of a bitch twice

 

Were I racist, basketball referee would be an odd choice of occupations for me to pursue.

 

Question from a guy (me) who knows next to nothing about NCAA men’s basketball: for a Patriot League team to qualify for the tournament, does it basically have to win its conference tournament? Or do more than just the champs get in sometimes?

I know a kid playing for Colgate and I’m deciding whether I should consider making plans to take in a round of 64 game somewhere.

 

Yes. There's no world where the Patriot is getting an at-large. It's also a league where the higher seed hosts in every conference tournament game. It's a wide-open league right now, but if you were to consider getting tickets anywhere, it would be Dayton, because the PL champ is probably going to get slotted into a first four game.

 

Thanks. My knowledge of college basketball pretty much just doubled.
