2024-25 College Basketball Thread

And to be fair, she was on the roster last year, so they only added two transfers to this year's team when I'm sure anybody and their sister would kill to join the defending champs who went undefeated.

 

Yeah, I know, not blaming them, when the rules change you have to adjust. Just an old man shaking his fist at the clouds saying things were better in the old days. Which, in some ways, they were.

Welcome to the 2020s. I don't have to like them.

 

For a two-time title winning coach, Hurley is so fucking insufferable

 

I wonder what his fellow coaches think of him. This comment comes off as loathsome entitlement. I could genuinely see him being widely disliked, widely liked or both. But I suspect most everybody in the business has an opinion of him.

 

Hurley wasn't done. He said he had never seen the official who made the over-the-back foul call.
The official in question was Pat Driscoll. He worked seven UConn games last year.

From the Great Beyond, Dean Smith says "hold my cigarette" ...

 

I’d take more pleasure in Auburn getting its ass whipped in Maui if I didn’t think Houston has the same thing in store for Bama tomorrow night.

 

Expletive Bruce Pearl and his klan. And, yeah, Houston will probably do a number on the Tide. But they do that to everybody. One of these years, the Cougars will win the whole damned thing.

 

I enjoyed the fact he felt his falling to the floor got the T and not the fact that he was three feet away pointed at him and screamed you're a fucking joke; you're a joke.

 

Dayton up 18 at the half on North Carolina. Then again Auburn rallied from down 18 to win the last game in an absolute thriller.

But barring a huge rally you will have UNC, UConn and Iowa State all in the losers bracket of the same event. How did Chaminade ever survive when it filled out the field at this tournament?

Also, the Bill Walton tribute wrecked me a little.

 

I stand by this.

 

Chapel Hill came all the way back to win. Not sure that solves the lack of post presence, though.
