Running 2023-24 NCAA Basketball Thread

Is Purdue the second-smallest Big 10 school? That sounds right but I'm too lazy to fact check in the last moments before starting work. Obviously they have a spillover fan base in state, but even 40 percent of Indiana isn't moving the needle nationally.

No. Northwestern and Nebraska are the smallest. Purdue is also bigger than Iowa and Maryland.

IU and Purdue are close in size, but IU is slightly larger.

Also, Big Ten schools are huge. Purdue would be the second largest ACC school and third-largest SEC school (before Texas gets added)

Now no one is in the two spaces adjacent to the baseline.

Thanks for looking it up — and setting me straight about Iowa not being bigger than Purdue!

And you're right about the B1G schools being large overall. Other than Northwestern's cozy lakefront campus, every Big Ten campus you visit is huge and seemingly in constant expansion mode.

That's not always fair, either.

Gabbie Marshall makes a great defensive play to tie up Kamilla Cardoso, and SC wins the tip without Cardoso even having to jump.

Yeah, but at least it's based upon physical ability instead of an arrow on the sideline.

I believe Oregon will be the smallest public Big Ten school. Enrollment is only about 24,000.

The discomfort that people have with donating to the players themselves, but not for things like program improvements or practice facilities that sit empty and unused, will always boggle my mind a bit. It would be like if you're comfortable with your salary staying the same, instead of double or tripling, because you got a bigger office.

I'm not doing anything more than buying tickets. But if I had the money to throw around, I would feel pretty confident a new weight room won't transfer out to Oklahoma over the holidays.

Did the ratings for the men's final reflect that it was shown on TNT and TRUtv as well as TBS?

Yellow is left for another school, gray is exhausted eligibility. Welcome to lower division European soccer. There's no way this is sustainable for fan interest.

Is there a sports book where I can put money down on Duke Deen to win MVC player of the year next season? I know nothing about him, but he's obviously got it wrapped up.

Indiana State and Drake both lost their head coaches.
