Running 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Thread

I don’t think that’s right.

Reese (15), Carson (22), Williams (20), Poole (6) and Poa (6) all transferred to LSU for this season. Morris (21) is a transfer from Texas A&M, but this is her second season at LSU. Johnson (10) and Smith (2) are freshmen.

 

Without looking it up, was the last one in 1980? Canceled in 1981 because of the Reagan assassination attempt, then they realized they weren't missing anything, so cut it moving forward?

 

Bobby Richardson of the Yankees, 1960 WS.

The fact that West was bothered by it is immaterial. If he was the best player, he should have won the award.

 

HOW DARE YOU COMMENT ON MY POST WITHOUT COMMENTING ON THE POSTER!

Slaughter sucks so many balls!

 

This is going to sound crazy, but Mantle was an underappreciated player in his era. He probably should have won two more MVPs, in 1961 and 1964.

 

One of the greatest trash talkers was Steve Smith, who seems so quiet and dignified
Whe he was with the Heat, Smith guarded Jerry Stackhouse when he was a rookie
Never said a word to Stack
But every time Stack got the ball, Smith would talk to Derrick Coleman
“Derrick, when’s he going left?”
“Is he ever gonna go left.”
“Does he go left in practice, Derrick?”
Stack ended up like 3 for 17

 

Then there’s Scott Skiles, who had one of the greatest seasons of all time in leading Michigan State to the Sweet 16
He averaged 27 points a game in the year before the 3 pointer was approved
It would have been 30 plus a year later
When they played Michigan, he greeted Antoine Joubert with: “C’mon fat boy, show me what you got.”
When they beat Georgetown in the NCAAs he brought the ball up upcourt, stopped at the Hoyas bench and yelled at John Thompson: “Don’t you have anybody on your team that can check me?”

 

Not sure if this falls under "oranges slices for everybody" or "they both tried so hard,: but ...

 

Watching ESPN Daily Wager, you'd think UConn is a combination of Lew Alcindor, Bill Walton, Magic Johnson and Christian Laettner in their collegiate primes. Holy fuck.

 

Yeah - Dr. Jill. Not a good idea. Not at all. Please don't go Iowa. I hope Clark says "thanks, but we'll see you next year."

 

Iowa needs more transfers than Penn Station to get Clark to the title game.

 

She might start a fight with Angel Reese.
