2024-25 College Basketball Thread

The true litmus test of friendship is being able to bust one another's chops at any moment. The player writing the card to her about how the family dog was still her favorite was gold.

Yes. There's no world where the Patriot is getting an at-large. It's also a league where the higher seed hosts in every conference tournament game. It's a wide-open league right now, but if you were to consider getting tickets anywhere, it would be Dayton, because the PL champ is probably going to get slotted into a first four game.

Not when a certain CAA team stuns the world with five wins in as many days to win the auto bid!

The MAC only sends the top eight to Cleveland.

The bottom eight is eternally grateful.

Love, Abby: The forever friendship between the UConn Huskies and one magical fan

Carve some time out for this. Bring tissues.

Glad I read this in my local tavern and one of their finest brews nearby. Still...

I said this on another thread. I'll say it again with the same amount of give a darn as I said on the other one.
I'm pretty much a heartless prick, but when it comes to kids and animals, I can turn into a bawling mess in a heartbeat.
It's why I can't watch most Budweiser Super Bowl Commercials or pretty much any animated movie.
Good Heavens, I bawled my eyes out at Gorillas In The Mist or to this day can't listen to the song "Feed Jake" by Pirates of the Mississippi even though I've heard it 4,000 times or when Van Pelt's dog died, holy balls……SON OF A bench, WHO LET THESE COCKSUCKING DUSTBUNNIES IN HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER?!?!?!?!?!
I'M TELLING YA.
Kids and Animals man. Kids and Animals.

That line, and the picture with it turned me into a puddle.

For regular season? Yes. They'd have the Super Tuesday matchup at 9 Eastern as an afterthought to the Big 10 game. But once expansion and the SEC Network came along there was both more inventory needed and more schools to provide it so things were split more evenly.

Sad Wednesday is a term I stole from an Alabama blog to describe the opening day of the SEC tournament. In the ACC it is called the Les Robinson Invitational.

After what became his final win as the NC State coach, Les Robinson said, "If they're going to name a game after you, you might as well win it."

I can't find it online right now, but when I talk to my students about broadcast journalism, I show them the story that Gary Reaves of WFAA-TV in Dallas did. A Texas teenager died in a skiing accident, and her heart was donated to a woman in Arizona. Reaves' story was about the girl's parents and the recipient meeting for the first time.

I have a daughter who, until just recently, was a teenager her ownself, and I cry every time I watch that story. I know what's going to happen in the story. I've shown it enough that I can almost quote it word-for-word. Doesn't matter. Tears every time.

ACC is doing the same.

RIP Les Robinson Day.

For it to be a full strength Sad Wednesday the team hosting the tournament needs to lose.

Whoever let Indiana on the floor in those uniforms should be fired. Honor Black History Month with a better uniform.
