Running 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Thread

Well, so much for that.

 

Thanks for the update. I didn't realize it was that successful, although admittedly I haven't been following college hoops that closely outside of the Aztecs and the other MWC schools.

 

Penn State is a fun team to watch.

I have no dog in this fight, but Nantz, Hill and Rafftery seem really bummed that blue blood IU is losing.

Hill and Raftery are just terrible for an A team. Damn if there isn't four references to Hill's duke career every god damned game.

 

Weren't they just precious, engaging the official in Gene Steratore talk during crunch time?

Penn State gives itself a puncher's chance every time out just by virtue of having three terrific driveway shooters in Lundy, Winter and Funk. Actually, don't fall off Pickett from 23 feet out, either.

Funk and Nate Sestina: The only two Bucknell products to play in a meaningful game in a decade. (Whoops, forgot Mike Muscala.)

 

After IU tied it up in the second half, Nantz was legit crushed when Penn State went on a 14-4 run.

 

Twenty losses?

 

As we labor through the ends of these foul fests, I still think in the last two minutes if a team makes a non-shooting foul, the fouled team gets one point and the ball out of bounds.

Just move the game along.

 

I’m convinced Scheyer could average 15 ppg in 2023 if he laced them up.

 

For the last two seasons, at least, Baylor has relegated the media to seats about 3/4 of the way up in the Ferrell Center. The lighting is horrible, which makes it hard to read rosters and game notes. And it’s too far from the media room to get there and back during a timeout if need be.

 

SEC has said they won’t be allowed back in with the shirts. Would be nice if the athletic department identified them and told them their money isn’t welcome at the ticket office back in Tuscaloosa but fat fucking chance of that.

 

WTF is wrong with people? There are ways to be clever, and there are ways to be a bit defiant.

This one misses the mark. Badly. Should be embarrassing, but is it to the university? Nate Oats? Greg Byrne?

I hear you, Dixie ... loud and clear. But if it it isn't embarrassing, it's a serious problem. Needless to say, this isn't funny - at all.
