2024-25 College Basketball Thread

Oh neat.
We set the record for 3’s in a game.
Oh wait. We won by 80.
Much of women’s college basketball is as unwatchable as the WNBA, and I didn’t think that was possible.
Lady Vols set NCAA record for 3-pointers in win

 

Tennessee makes a layup at the horn to not only win the game but screws anyone with a chance at UT (-2.5)
Don’t trust the .5
Anywhere.

 

If only next Saturday could be as satisfying . . .

 

It will be.

 

It's shitty to do it like that but I'll give them credit -- they went 30-for-63. It's not like they were 30-for-95

 

Their style under the new coach is to throw up a ton of shots. If they shoot like they usually do it's something like 103-59.

 

This exactly. You can have an inferior opponent, but I'll appreciate the act of nailing 26-footers just for the ability. You can't just shove those shots up there.

Same thing goes for perfect alley-oops against an NAIA opponent. You still gotta do it.

To paraphrase Don Draper, that's what the money is for.

The WNBA and NCAA women's three-point distance is the same: 22 feet, 1.75 inches, measured from the center of the basket. Granted a 26-footer would be a heck of a shot, even with the smaller ball, which enhances shooting percentages.

 

Is that Brescia from Owensboro, KY? They won a few national titles in whatever division they were in.

 

LOfuckingL.

 

Losing by a pair to Michigan Tech is no disgrace.

In hockey.

 

Schefter has to be loving this.
