College Bball Thread

Dusty May obviously never got the memo that a first-year head coach is supposed to struggle with a band of supporters who blame everything on the previous regime. 

 

If I knew any of the people who gave Woodson his money for this year, I'd flood their inboxes with Dusty May propaganda.

It sucks seeing Dusty May in Michigan blue. He should be in cream and crimson.

Providence- DePaul in a decent game. Friars up 5 with 10 to play.

Holtmann has at least pumped some life into a long floundering program.

Little archie goes down in 2 OTs.

I hit the over total, but needed all of both OTs to get there. Obviously forgot how bad his offense sucked.

Hogs fixing to drop a hundo on Michigan while clamping down defensively in this second half.

I still wish he'd take a different nickname, but Boogie Fland is a lightning bolt with legs.

Arkansas up 18 on Michigan

Dusty is great. That being said….its too bad for him that basketball games are 2 halves. UM looks terrible, with 9:00 to go, this half. Still time to turn it around but way too many turnovers.

 I hate Cal but Arkansas is pretty fun to watch. For a good portion of many of their possessions they only have one guy inside the three point line and they quickly move the ball around. I’m not used to seeing such a thing….LOL

EDIT: And then UM goes on a 12-0 run. Tightening up.

Good good game. Almost a really nice set at the end by Michigan.

Dusty end of game masterclass.

Arkansas beats UM by 2. It was almost like three different games. UM looked good, terrible and then good again the last 9 minutes of the second half.

The UM 7 footers, Wolf and Goldin, are impressive and will be a challenge for IU. They handle  the ball well, are good passers and move well. They were good use of NIL $$$$$.

Not often a team shoots 58% from the field and loses.  Not a great defensive performance by UM and they killed themselves with 17 turnovers.

Why can't they just leave the Tournament alone?  It's fine as it is.  I'm already losing interest in college basketball with free agency and NIL.  Adding teams to the NCAA Tournament might just be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me.

It’s a terrible idea. At some point all this expansion to capture tv money will have some blow back.

Disagree so much of the tourney is just casuals watching because of the spectacle. Quality of games doesn’t appear to matter to them

I would be good with high school style-each and every team is in.

That's simple enough to implement.  Each conference should have a conference tournament.  Then only the conference tournament winners play in the NCAA Tourney.   That way everyone was in.
