Running 2011-12 College Basketball thread

I don't see UConn being long for the postseason. The Huskies should have put away DePaul but never really did. If they don't get into the NCAA, I could easily see them throwing in the towel and losing in the first round of the NIT against a team that's not nearly as talented.

 

Thing is, will Shaka Smart still be around?

 

Smart is a hell of a coach, but I would not leave this gig unless it was for a big time school in the Big East, SEC, Pac 10, ACC, Big 10...

Actually, if I was UCLA, I would be on line one. He would be a perfect fit.

 

They knocked them out in the first half, and ran out the clock. DePaul had less than zero chance in that spot, given what they can and can't do.

 

Nice to see Detroit make the field; they could be a tough out for someone in the opening round. And SDSU-Western Illinois was an ugly, but entertaining, game.

 

North Central Conference represent!

 

UConn-WVU into OT.

Somebody post the 2003 Missouri party pics ... now!

 

UConn squeaks out 71-67.

 

Once Lurch fouled out for WVU, game over.

 

Dragass effort is about the kindest way I can describe UCLA right now. Down double digits to SC and shooting 14%.

 

Pac-12 Hoops . . . innoculate against it!
