College Hoops '24-'25

[Woolly the Mammoth]

Enjoyed watching my Wildcats (also 10-1) beat our rival Louisville yesterday, followed by that great Gonzaga-Connecticut game. UCONN really seems to have figured it out after their rough start. Didn't get to watch Auburn yesterday but they are going to be a tough out.

Auburn is rough. Tennessee too. I can't believe how good the SEC is now at basketball too. I would really like to know what that is about. They were always football and baseball only. Never really in the conversation in the past.

Money.

There's just so many insane athletes in that bottom right corner of the country and lots of them hoop.


Hoyas beating Syracuse was pretty nice.

NIL $$$ Big teams buy who they want.

Yeah, I was kinda joking. It is pretty ridiculous. Why not just finish this and create a true NBA minor league so real student athletes can play?
My school, thankfully, had a major NBA insider as an alumnus that just so happened to burn out at the right time. Lots of small schools are totally screwed.

From the article-

Ready with money, and with opportunity, St. Bonaventure can’t go dollar for dollar with most schools. But Woj’s presence, the Bonnies hope, can close the gap. His deep network of NBA coaches, agents and front office executives offers players a bridge to the next level. “Those are relationships that I couldn’t build or we couldn’t build as a staff in the next 30 years,” Schmidt says. “He’s going to be able to help us get in the door with guys because of who he is and the trust he has built over his career.”

But only if he has a huge collective behind him. Getting to the door is not the issue. Money is needed to close the door.

I feel like you’ve been in a dark place lately. Need one of those life sized Bellichek posters in your life.

^^^they are…terrible shot/ only down by two. Then don’t box out….same old crap.

Hard to be a heels guy lately.

Georgetown looking much better this year so far. Cooley's second year and they're looking legit. 3-1 in conference including a tough loss at #7 Marquettte in an old-timey Big East matchup in Milwaukee last night, which they lead most of the way until some late-game heroics by Marquette and suddenly ice-cold shooting late doomed them. The freshman Sorber looks really good.

X lost their best player for the season and have made a mad dash to .500 taking the L from Pitino’s squad last night in a half filled house thanks to a blizzard.

Even then, it was a battle between two great coaches and teams. Big East basketball is still the king (yeah I know the SEC is looking good too).

man i thought miller had those dudes firing on all cylinders when i saw them against uconn a few weeks back. who got hurt? i thought freemantle just came back?

You’re not wrong. They’ve got OT and single digit losses to top 10 teams and seemingly show up most nights but are just that much behind the better teams.
And you’re right about Freemantle who is a stud and I’m glad he’s back but I was talking about the guy that should have taken most of his minutes in transfer Lassina Traore.

[BmillsSkier]

X stays hot as of late in the Big East taking down Georgetown at home to break a 4 way tie to be the final Big East team in. Gotta keep it up if they want a chance to make the dance.

Indiana continues to suck...

OMG, down 26 - 4 after 5 minutes. Way to have the team show up ready to play, Mike.

^^Yes everyone I talk to is ready for Woodson to hit the road. Coaching carousel of the last 10-15 years has been painful.

[ötzi]

Hoyas @ X was a pretty good game last night, X pulled it out but Georgetown is so much better than in recent years it's encouraging. Hoyas really missed Epps, who got hurt in the St. Johns game. With some big games left plus the Big East tournament they still have a shot to go to the tournament.

My wife was raised worshipping at the church of Bobby Knight and believed Woodson would lead them back to the holy land of regular conference titles and deep tournament runs.

Even she realizes he is a false prophet and wants him gone ASAP.

Michigan vs Ohio State is a good game.

[BmillsSkier]

Nice come from behind win by X to join the big bracket. 9:30 east coast tip though? Come on guys.

[Iowagriz]

Griz over the Badgers this morning for the first Cinderella label of the tourney!

It’s always amusing to hear analysts covering teams they’ve obviously never watched. One of them claiming Michigan has to resort to their back up plan and have Danny Wolf handle the ball. The others in awe that they have two 7 footers that can play.

You're not kidding. For me (and I know its personal) its something as simple as mispronouncing the fucking school's name 100 times per broadcast.

Its Xavier, as in Zzzavier, not Egggs-zavier. Its a name of a Saint that has been around since 1500, figure it out.
