2024-25 College Basketball Thread

I don’t even know you any more.

That commercial is the best thing about Big 10 games. I even have the song downloaded from when the commercial first came out.

 

Next you’re going to tell me you like the Princess Di “Candle in the Wind” remake. C’mon, man!

 

I liked it when they used “This is It” instead of the “One Shining Moment” garbage.

 

Well that was nice while it lasted. Iowa led until the final three minutes of the game, then the No. 3 Cyclones turned up the defensive pressure and the Hawkeyes ran out of gas.

Credit where credit’s due: Joshua Jefferson is a versatile power forward and Curtis Jones can really score. Clones win 89-80.

 

Just wanted to add that my Hokies are abysmal. Who knows what happens, but we're down in the mid-200s, with the likes of Presbyterian, Little Rock and Albany. Yeesh.

 

Virginia No. 100 in KenPom at the moment, trailing VCU, Liberty and George Mason. Oof.

 

Remember that from about 79-80-81. Talked my parents into buying the 45 single, and played it non-stop until it disappeared and my Mom "had no idea what happened to it."

 

Yacht Rock! [/crossthread]

 

And that’s generous.

 

While I know CFB is ruled by NIL dollars - is it easier for college basketball players? Do shoe companies just sign players up out of high school and the college they attend isn't that involved?

 

1982: Sister Sledge

1983: Christopher Cross!

Then some other stuff. (Streisand in 1986? Seriously? No wonder CBS went to "One Shining Moment.")
