Running 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Thread

Northern Kentucky might have been able to pull that off if they'd just been shitty from 3-point range, instead of epically shitty. Went 5-for-34. Much like missing free throws, when you see that kind of number pile up you start to think, "Man, if we'd just hit four or five more sprinkled throughout the game ..."

 

It's Micah Shrewsberry's marketplace now. Guess I was wrong about ATM, which I thought was criminally under-seeded at 7.

 

With that hairdo, I'm guessing No. 20 for UCLA was not expecting to get much camera time.

 

Penn State and Northwestern are still playing.

So Maryland, which played Thursday's first game, plays Saturday's last game.

 

You certainly weren't alone. I think that was a near-unanimous opinion.

Somebody pour some water on Andrew Funk.

 

Yep. If they had been 8-34, they'd have been right there.
Here are the 3FG% of the past five winning performances by No. 15 seeds:
4-25
6-21
3-13
9-17 (St. Peter's over Ky)
11-35

Pretty much destroys the presumption that a heavy underdog has to shoot the lights out in order to prevail. Kind of odd, actually.

 

you could say the same about Penn State — if Michigan state was a 7….

 

No way Penn State should have been anything higher than an 8. Can't wait to see Izzo pants shit again tomorrow and blather off some postgame nonsense.

 

they wanted to keep it out of primetime. As an east coast site that early, the only other options were two one seeds and Duke-Tennessee and they weren’t wasting any of those on the noon start
