2024-25 College Basketball Thread

I think the Pop-Tarts Bowl reminded people sports could be fun.

 

Another great moment in B1G hoops.

 

Just got home and turned this on. Has Pauley been half-empty for this whole game or was there a bottleneck at the concession stands?

 

Yeah, she's very good, good enough so she can miss a staggering total of 738 shots in her career so far. Shooters shoot, even if they shoot .411 from the field.

 

Day ain't over yet.
The Tide might still get a No. 1 seed.
If they don't, they'll be a No. 2 seed. That means, for example, the champion of the Southern Conference in the first round and a lucky-to-be-there ACC team in the second round.
The only caveat there is Carolina. They frighten me. For your sake, I hope that's not the second-round opponent. They're scary.
The SEC is what the ACC used to be. You're going to take your lumps. But maybe it .....

 

In today's fun with NET rankings:

Tennessee beats Alabama. Tennessee drops from 4 to 5 and Alabama stays at 6

 

The chance is there. Florida at home Wednesday night. (Also at Auburn next weekend but I wouldn’t put my casino chips in that box.)

May have lost out on a (relatively) close trip to Lexington to open the dance. If they knock Florida down a seed line they should get the second Raleigh slot; otherwise it is somewhere further away. And if they get a 2 seed it means the West Region. First-world problems for sure but they were capable of more, even after the injuries.

 

They better rebound than they did at Vandy or they won’t go very far. That was awful.

 

Are they now in the Ivy League?

 

That’s inspired. Bravo!

 

Funny thing, I find myself watching a little Ivy League because they play happy hour games, and I don't remember seeing an all-white starting lineup out there.
