2024-25 College Basketball Thread

I miss brackets with the places the games are taking place. I realize the pod system made it a little more difficult, but its not that hard. Also, the conference hosting the West regional next week? The Pac-12. Boy, that's awkward. Like helping a buddy going through a divorce move out of his place, while the EX is there, awkward.

Coupled in the wagering with courts that don't look the same at every venue.

No. He's a douchebag to the highest degree. And he doesn't care because no one checks him on it.

All pretenders compared to Kim Mulkey?

Enough of the pants and pullover please.
You're not a coach at a Saturday morning town team game.
Wooden is rolling over in his grave.

How many of those are being dictated by Nike and other athletic apparel outfitters?

Or, alternately, nobody blows a huge lead in an NCAA Tournament game like Ole Miss.

Got Oregon-Arizona on at one end of this bar. NM-Michigan State at the other. Both games have similar scores, but the latter is halfway through the second half.

I suspect it's mostly dictated by this being 2025 and nobody wears a tie anymore.

You don't need a three piece suit to step up from looking like you are dressed for the 6 am breakfast buffet at an off-Strip casino.

Sunday's six NIT games had an average margin of victory of 2.7 points.

But I also think the "garbage" mid-December bowls can be counted on to provide more compelling, competitive games than most of the name-brand bowl games.

Can we compromise by saying suits are preferred but optional for most, the exception being Jamie Dixon? They're required for him.

I am tired of being fed this bullshirt about how important all these clock reviews are. Not giving teams extra timeouts should also be a matter of fairness. Review for egregious timing errors, not whether to fiddle with the clock by four-tenths of a second.
