2024-25 College Basketball Thread

Mizzou won. Again.

 

Looks like the SEC is going to win every game tonight vs. ACC.

 

Clemson has Kentucky on the ropes, and Duke and UNC host Auburn and Alabama respectively tomorrow night. But yes, this is an absolutely brutal showing. And the SEC was already crushing the ACC this season even before the formal challenge games.

ESPN needs to bring back the Big XII-SEC Challenge. There is no end to the amazing matchups available. And for any of these events, limit it to the top 8-10 teams per league. Nobody needs Georgia-Notre Dame in their life.

 

And now it is league night for the A-Sun, Missouri Valley and MWC. What the hell is the rush?

 

Never experienced Red Panda on back-to-back days before. Still awesome.

 

Road trip!

 

Do people under 40 really care anything about Jim Valvano? Do those under 30 care about Stuart Scott? It’s a little wild to me that ESPN delays tipoffs and builds entire programming blocks around this. Fuck cancer always, but after all this time it carries a whiff of “oh this is a tragedy because our guys got it.” There have to be more effective ways to reach a new generation of potential donors.

 

Now that's targeted marketing!

Am I the only person here who isn't a Yinzer to remember this stuff?

Fire Ryan Day.

 

Chapel Hill gonna be a wine and wine crowd this season if this keeps up.

 

Isaiah Evans, who did not play against Kentucky, Kansas and Arizona, is carrying Duke against Auburn so far. What exactly was he doing buried on the bench?
