2020-21 College Basketball thread

I haven't watched them a lot but IIRC, Ohio State doesn't really have a true point guard, so I think their potential to throw up clunkers like what they did at the Breslin is higher than average. Kind of feels like a 'stay away' team when I fill out my bracket.

The TV guys love it. At least once a game, Raff or someone just tells a Phil Martelli story and it fills an entire timeout.

LeBron's definitely a Buckeye guy, but I assume this situation is if the kid's thinking about a yes or no to Michigan. I can't speak to his X's and O's acumen, but I really like the even keel he projects. MGoBlog has a bit they call the "Bo Ryan Index," which is the percentage of photos on the first page of a Google Images search that depicts the coach scowling or yelling a coach or official. Juwan is about 4%. Fran McCaffery, on the other hand, is in the 80s.

 

Dan Dakich may have finally hit the self-destruct button, although he’ll have to wait a whole year to air his grievances at CPAC.

Dan Dakich Deleted His Twitter

 

Can he just do us all a favor and delete himself? Not from life, but at least from the media and college basketball scene. Poisonous and adds nothing.

 

Pleasantly surprised my Terps didn’t shit the bed today. It would have been pure Terp to lose to Sparty in what would have meant elimination for Maryland and an invite for MSU. Committee just needs some barely rational reason to exclude Md and include Izzo.

 

I grew up a Maryland fan and hope they continue to win. But I have said for about a month that the game they really need to fear is at Northwestern. The Wildcats are really overdue, and they aren't terrible.

 

Little Richie seemed to have things going a bit a season or so ago

Sparty has 4 (or more) games left: IU, home and home against U-M, then a first-round game in the B1G tourney. I think they need two wins to get into the NCAA.

 

Things seemingly looking up as March dawns. If the low majors play conference tournaments without Trumpandemic incident, the big boys will be both encouraged and under considerable pressure to follow suit.

 

Found the 2024 nominee.

 

He's back.

There was a point in his life that he was a good guy. Those days seem to be in the rearview mirror though.

 

Gonzaga is 24-0.

 

Good to see that not everyone at Tallahassee is asleep at the wheel.
