NCAA HOOP

im watching college basketball!

trying to check out chet holmgren but timme is much better because hes three years older this is what college basketball is like

i can report that holmgren does look very tall and thin

kind of reminds me of durant just as far as looking like a spider out there

chet v paolo 2nite baby big game

neglected to watch it, looked like a good game tho

uconn women ranked seventh

what a disaster, geno no doubt searching wikipedia for 'seppuku'

amazing that joe lunardi has carved out a career as a 'bracketologist'

i mean all you have to do is . . . look at the team records? maybe the kenpom? and if you're wrong on a bubble team, you can always blame it on some minor conference tournament upset

i respect the hustle, particularly when it involves writing mid-january stories about how kansas has fallen off the one-line(!)

o shit duke's gonna lose K's last home game

shouldve booked an easier game

i haven't been paying attention to the acc, but i was sort of surprised to see that unc isn't ranked despite being 14-5 in conference play.

this 20-minute long extended feed of sad Duke fans waiting to be addressed by Coach K is one of the greatest moments in sports television history. I’m riveted

this is pretty good i had idea he was such a psycho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfyw0I9Zucs

i have two really good friends from high school who went to duke, apparently he would use rallies to ream out the student sections for not cheering hard enough using like total full profanity. he is a psychotic little rat man.

lol not sure how i missed that thought he was more of a professional success wins type guy, i like him better now

bad year for the ACC. not sure UNC has a single NBA player on their team. even duke feels like a top 5 team by default more than anything. banchero might be the only NBA player on their team.

if you root for an acc basketball team that isn't duke you're very well aware that coach k is notorious for berating the refs into leaning towards duke w/ his demonic vermin screaming that will never ever get T'd up because he is the one and only coach k

xxxp that was not my experience having gone to duke (tbf i am old)

i mean, i don't think he's a *nice* guy, but i doubt he's worse than most other coaches, let alone the successful ones

Haha @WorldWideWob pic.twitter.com/mdWTF1EHNP

notorious for berating the refs into leaning towards duke w/ his demonic vermin screaming

lol he's still bitter about dean getting this treatment 30-40 years ago

i will say i hate duke but i don’t hate coach k. idk why. maybe it’s bcuz so many NBA players who didn’t play for him in college seem to love him

athletes are the most enthusiastic consumers of athletic mythology

that’s true

i mean im sure hes good with players, college sports is so much about recruiting after all, but hes def got a halo

tbh i just think he pays a great deal of attention to the small shit

ten years ago i went to a duke fantasy camp (courtesy of an extremely loaded friend, because i can in no way afford that) and basically tore my acl the first time i touched the ball, which was embarrassing af

two weeks later he fucking called me to 'see how i was doing'

obviously he built up advantages (and presumably he thought i had more money to spend on him) but that's good recruiting

wow yeah that is some high level shit

that's impressive as hell, no argument from me

yeah, that's impressive. even as the years went on he could still sell himself to recruits and their families, duke donors, the media, and nba players on team usa. lol, i guess seeing bob knight up close gave him good example of how not to do it.

banchero might be the only NBA player on their team.

This is insane

Speaking of skinny kids, at LSU Pete Maravich stood 6' 5" and weighed 160. He still averaged over 40 ppg for each of his three years playing on the "varsity" team - with no three point shots either! This was back when college freshmen were not allowed to play with the big boys.

kevin durant was so skinny coming out of college he couldnt bench the standard 185 at the draft combine think he said something like "good thing the ball doesnt weigh 185 pounds" lmao

and you know what hes still very skinny

Was just struck by that fact seeing him play the other day. Surprisingly never really beefed up. I thought he kinda did when on Warriors?? Maybe the TV I was watching then was distorted lol

hes def bigger than he was when he came into the league but not that much lol

wouldnt be surprised if he didnt lift weights at all.

hes got to i think hes prob just not capable of bulking up

Gotta be harder to when you're that tall

Per @JaredBerson, Chet Holmgren is the first player in NCAA Tournament history to post 15 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 blocks in a game.

their coach is a keeper. they broke a full court press from a more athletic team with ease multiple times at the end of that game. never once acted like they weren't the better team.

we love to see it

yes we do

what is it that separates a D1 coach from a random HS coach exactly? memphis fouling there should basically
lead to penny losing his job at the postgame press conference

maybe I watch too much NBA. I guess when the free throw shooters are worse and you can’t advance the ball it’s a closer call

damn, a Duke loss and an all new episode of Impractical Jokers? I'm in heaven

just for that i shall root against the bucks

j/k i would never root for chris paul

he's such a Sal

Good game. Probably one of the key plays was that bench guy from NC fouling before the guy from Duke could get the ball up or score a quick bucket and put him on the line. Dukey missed the second one and NC got the rebound and that was that. One of those time where fouling is the better option and kind of an odd play to be in some ways a decider considering how many big shots where hit. NC and Duke both missing a few free ones on the line. (After looking his name up...) Puff Johnson also got a board and hit a couple free throws while Bacot was nursing his ankle.

Kansas looks pretty tough, they are even bigger than Duke and NC got roasted in the paint tonight. Jayhawks were shooting darts from the 3 ball too.

o captain my captain j/k

Congrats to the SC Gamecocks and Aliyah Boston on their championship!

1 Kansas what's going on

ruh-roh North Carolina doing that thing where the other team goes on a run and they start playing like there's a squirrel running around inside the ball

wow brutal way to lose a crucial possession

whoaaa he was totally out of bounds they might have a chance

(just kidding NC is shooting 22% on 3s even though most of 'em were barely contested)

god damn didn't even touch the rim

ncaa hoop is crazy, that was fun. something about just two halves and no quarters makes everything so intense

braun definitely the guy i'd want on kansas to guard the last 3pt shot.
not sure what happened to manek on that last possession.
david mccormack you big stiff i love you

Not sure I’ve ever seen a team look as gassed as the tar heels in that second half

I would like to alert everyone to the fact that uconn is now a comfortably ranked team and things have returned to the natural way as god intended

which coincidentally means I may be paying attention to college hoops this season

rip mike brey

not really sure how he managed to hang on that long, but i guess they don't really care about basketball in south bend

along similar lines, i've no idea how chris collins is still northwestern's coach

Brey is a very nice guy that had some good years. I don't think people want to see him go, but this year is bad. He put together a flawed roster with no rim protection or rebounding. I don't know if Wesley could have saved it.

it's hypocritical of me to bash him, sorry -- he's a good coach! but obviously he hasn't made the irish a basketball power

and it's hardly his fault the ACC is fading into irrelevance in men's hoops

Alabama's Nate Oats on Brandon Miller's 'pat-down': 'Not appropriate'

wow, line drawn

I have no idea how you could pick this years tournament.

I got to think this is going to be pretty wacky but I will be disappointed if it ends up being old guard teams (except obviously IU).

IU can do it if they play Purdue in every game

houston is the only team with a top 10 offense and defense, per kenpom. bama and kansas rank in the top 20, while ucla and uconn just miss

Back when I was at IU, they used to call the lower seats the ‘gray line’ as when they built the place you could get same season tickets year after year. They started getting good with Knight second year the building was built and pretty much all the lower tickets were all a bunch of older fans for 30+ years hence below the gray line.

It’s not that way now and the odd configuration of the building built to keep ice for the hockey club( long gone) makes it an unbelievably loud place to play hoops.

It’s got to be one of the toughest places to play these days.

I just don’t want F’in Kansas or Arizona or Houston - any of those cheating Mf’ers to win.

https://i.redd.it/2mulch760dla1.jpg

haven't followed ncaa at all this season, but ayyy lookin good jerry!

Vanderbilt played out of their mind beating UK a couple days ago.

Kentucky has boodles of talent but they play so much like mismatched pieces. When it works they beat Kansas at home by 20+, then they lose games like this one. Pretty much N.C.A.A. hoops, only thing consistent is inconsistency.

yeah it’s gotta be sad to be one of the 80% of 7 footers who don’t play in the NBA lol

xpost Merrimack is ineligible for the postseason for 4 years because they are transitioning from DII to DI. everyone hates the rule, but it's the rule. so FDU knew they were dancing when they won their conference semi.

Edey was fine last night - he let it get swatted away from him too many times, but overall, he was good. but FDU's gameplan + his so-so teammates + mounting pressure + Matt Painter's tactical paralysis killed them. Painter *had* to figure out a way to make it easier for them to get Edey the ball, and he didn't. Credit to FDU and their coach.

Purdue has not been to the final four since 1980.
30 tournament appearances
10 big 10 titles

Literally the poster child for Big 10 being terrible in March.

i guess it's tough to fire a guy who gets you a 4-seed or better every year, but three straight first-round exits as a 4-, 2- and 1-seed is absolutely brutal

Painter *had* to figure out a way to make it easier for them to get Edey the ball, and he didn't.

otm. 26 of their 53 shots -- against the smallest team in division i! -- were from three. they made five

building your team around a big ol slow footed post up center is not really something that strikes fear into ones opponents in the year 2023 i think is part of the problem

if you’re 7-4 and not a serious NBA prospect it’s fair to say you’re not that good at basketball

edey had 21 points and 15 rebounds on 11 shots. the rest of the team was 12-for-42. he doesn't have to be an nba prospect for a decent coach to realize that he should have gotten the ball more

i guess it's tough to fire a guy who gets you a 4-seed or better every year, but three straight first-round exits as a 4-, 2- and 1-seed is absolutely brutal

tbf, last year Purdue made it to the Sweet Sixteen before losing to a 15 seed (St. Peters who beat 2 seed Kentucky in the first round).

im sure they wouldve liked to get him the ball more but part of the problem with a guy like that is its just not that hard to disrupt a slow mechanical post up process xp

Arkansas/Kansas has been great

lag∞n's alma mater kicking ass again

so proud of my boys

if you’re 7-4 and not a serious NBA prospect it’s fair to say you’re not that good at basketball

you should play him one on one and see just how not that good he is!

like i know that's a goofy response but it's not fair to say the guy isn't good at basketball just because he isn't a great fit in the current NBA. he's about to be named national player of the year at the highest level of non-professional basketball in the United States.

nah hes a scrub

we're all spoiled by the level of NBA play and that's just how we like it

kansas state plays balls to the wall at all times. fun team

yeah I was just goofing, he’d poster me for sure

of course he'd poster all of us but that's not the point, the point is that he's a stiff and we all know what a stiff is

cant ever get postered if u never get on the floor *taps head* think abt it

good games today. nice to see little guys like Markquis Nowell on K State go off

ucla and gonzaga should play every year

I'm prepared to be wrong, but no matter how many points Timme scored tonight, I have a hard time believing in his game would make any kind of splash in the NBA.

hard to imagine him being any better than low-post college threat Frank Kaminsky

christ you are some sour motherfuckers

ffs this is the NCAA HOOP thread, not the 'these guys could never inspire mark cuban to protest a game' thread. dude went 16-24 and led his team to an upset.

go watch the blazers if you want to see super-talented guys do nothing important

I'm not a sour motherfucker! The one thing I really like about watching college ball is that you can watch a lot of players who'd be undersized in the NBA find ways to dominate

markquis nowell to thread

love that dude and the whole ksu team. they just want to do the most fun thing possible on every play.

half court shot? foul line dunk? no look alley oop in overtime? do it if it makes you happy

love seeing gonzaga get owned, it's very funny

i'd had such glorious plans to wrench up k3vin by mentioning what a poor day it was for uconn hoops

that's a pretty soft call

Yeah hate ending the game like that but it was probably the right call

it did look like he pushed him off the shot but yeah pretty weak, also lol at that alley oop to the other team on the previous play

don't really care which team won but i'm glad that kid didn't miss both free throws

that final foul call was correct. the foul was down low, a pretty clear hooking grab at his torso.

yeah i agree. but also it wouldn't have surprised me if it hadn't been called

tough play for the defender but you really *can't* foul there

yeah i kept watching the replay and thinking, how much would they get roasted for NOT calling a shove in midair like that

i saw it again at real speed and i think what sold it was the guy went down pretty hard in a way that looked like he was pushed down which he was

if he had just turned him a lil he prob wouldve gotten away with it

Boooo that should have counted

yeah what the hell, that’s a bucket

these miami guys are balling incredibly hard

Both games today were incredible

i figured with all the #1s gone texas finally had a shot at winning it all, i guess not lol

austin shall never prosper is how i break it down

miami’s victory proves it once and for all: if you want to win basketball games, you simply must ball incredibly hard

jordan miller: 27 pts, 7/7 from the field, 13/13 from the line

it really is

dare i say . . . laettneresque

lol thats an insanely dumb idea xp

ncaa almost always gets the seeds wrong anyway

not to honestly engage with this dude’s dumb point but, all these teams had excellent regular seasons. sdsu won the best mid-major conference, florida atlantic won more games than any other team, uconn is the number one team by advanced stats

are they getting ratio'd, v important question

yes

March Madness is incredible, but it renders the four months of regular season completely meaningless. Maybe the NCAA should let the higher seeds start each game with a lead, like the PGA Tour Championship

— Ben Volin (@BenVolin) March 25, 2023

yes why can't March Madness be more like that well-known prestigious and widely popular PGA Tour Championship

this mf out here trying to make "march rationality" happen, foh

I need the most madness you have

No, that's too much

Caitlin Clark 30 point triple double - quad double if you count turnovers

now a 40 pt trip-dub

wow selfish basketball

j/k that's amazing

bird and taurasi doing the chill sesh broadcast on espn2 is great

the miami-uconn game should be pretty good. miami’s starting 5 has the best net rating of any 5 man line up in the tournament but uconn has been the best overall team. uconn has a number of potential first round picks and miami plays a very NBA style of ball. if miami wins i may pass out, i was a regular fixture at their games dating back to when they played in the miami arena (25% filled)

i went to a handful of utsa games this year, about half mens/half womens, and the mostly empty arena is actually part of the appeal. live sports without the triggers of social anxiety? sign me up.

*glares across the thread*

this sc-iowa game is pretty great.

caitlin clark is a killer

been holding my breath the entire half. want to see boston get to work since she sat so much of the first half

rip perfect season, despite south carolina having 1000 offensive rebounds

i only saw the last seven minutes, during which i’m pretty sure clark was the only iowa player to attempt a shot

o-reb was 25-5 sc near the end of the game but clark scored just enough. nail biting close game. hope the final is equally close

caitlyn clark is gonna shred through the w in a couple of years

she just drops bombs

clark is truly ridiculous.

just bumped into the game at a bar and wow Clark was a one person wrecking crew - amazing stuff

buzzer beater!

those last few minutes were pretty ugly but that was great

Holy shit that was an insane 2nd half

that was an insane ending

gotta love the buzzer beater one shot to win or lose thats what its all about

San Diego closing the gap despite missing 9 straight…that was odd

thats college basketball. baby

helped that they got every single rebound

Yeah wild they got like 6 straight including 3 off missed three throws

Miami just scored 7 points in like 15 seconds, and they're still down 12

at least jim calhoun has fucked off

damn this team is steamrolling

trying to think of a successful team as reliant on one player as iowa is on CC

danny manning for kansas in 1988 is all i've got. carmelo carried syracuse in 2003 but not to this extent

Steph at Davidson

tru

that was my first thought too

i can recommend watching the highlights of that run, steph dribbles like five times total its crazy, ppl wondering why he went 7th in the draft mb because everyone thought he was small klay thompson

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQN9hdPNVS4

also helps to explain why hes so good off ball in the nba

wow, lsu raining threes on iowa. wild.

75% from 3

refs aside, highly entertaining game. lsu punched iowa in the face early. 2nd half was still compelling with iowa trying to make a game of it.

uconn rolling

seems crazy that they had a stretch where they went 2-6 in big east play

lol missed dunk flew to the backcourt

oopsies

gotta think SDSU is gonna go on a run at some point

or uconn will just be ahead by 12 the whole time

man they gotta find a way to get it in the circle

the key is actually hoisting

look this tournament has been utterly insane, I need them to do something here

whoa its happening

thats college basketball, baby

zzzzzzz

ah well, nevertheless

congrats to me and johnny crunch

well done. what will you do for an encore?

nuggets will win the nba playoffs

I look forward to watching a game or three during the Frantic First Four Days. The crazy intensity of a single-elimination tournament of that size isn't reproducible,even if the quality of the hoops is really ragged.

otm

uconn

wolfpack tho

I watched the first 10 minutes of the Big East final and good lord.

The pack is back! That was fun. My dad graduated from state and we grew up watching them. Haven’t paid attention to them in a decade or so, but my parents are visiting so we got to watch it together. Their big man is something

Man, Bill Raftery is an exhausting listen.

this bracket is pretty sketchy

uconn gets the #1 overall seed and sees 3 other kenpom top 10 teams in their region…very cool and fair

if you're mad, imagine how auburn feels

put yourself in auburns shoes and walk a mile

i was . . . not expecting the mountain west to get twice as many bids as the big east, although i don’t know or care enough to complain about it

but no matter how good their kenpom or their conference, michigan state going 19-14 (10-10), 3-7 on the road, 2-7 against ranked teams, and a loss in the conference quarters sounds like a first four team to me at best, not a straight-up 9 seed

no feeling bad for auburn and bruce pearl in this house

it does seem like the committee worked hard to make sure uconn won't repeat. might not be hard enough though.

re: mountain west, they've been a very strong basketball conference for several years now. pretty much on par with if not better than the erstwhile pac-12.

i'm rooting pretty hard for arizona and caleb love, and creighton with my guy ryan kalkbrenner. and of course, i am down bad for keisei tominaga and nebraska

no feeling bad for auburn and bruce pearl

that’s fair

also, yikes @ virginia

DUQUESNE DUKES

excited to watch dayton vs nevada. my cousin is the starting center for nevada and they're family friends with Daron Homes who's the star for Dayton (nba prospect). Had thanksgiving dinner with both of the, kinda wild they got matched up in the tourney.

nice

ooof, that Nevada meltdown. wow

ROUGH

kentucky feat a bigtime nba backcourt is down in the second half

it would be funny to watch the tourney and root for all the favorites, theres no point!

im just learning that both reed sheppards parents played ball at kentuky thats wild

more like breed shoopers

lol nice

reed sheppard was the top pick in kevin o’connor’s mock draft

uh oh

oakland holding on to this lead bb

theyre gonna win this dang thing

this is very gratifying for me as a lifelong oakland fan

that gohlke dude has attempted 20 threes and zero twos

classic underdog player

3 seed down

eat it calipari

What a game. Gohlke taking every shot like a 12 year old kid counting the clock down to zero. Love it.

Dude was Setshot from the Fish that saved Pittsburgh.

One and done just does not work anymore. No poise, way too many fxxk it chuck it possessions by UK.

yeah you want to find guys who are good but not quite good enough to go to the nba early aka the villanova

lol gohlke is 24, looks like he’s going on about 35

the new jimmer

6th year player, transfer from uh Hillsdale college

The 11 seeds are doing well against the 6 seeds today and my gut says another 11 seed, NC State, could take out Texas Tech. Winning your conference tournament indicates how you're playing right now in ways that your overall record doesn't capture.

does d2 not count against d1 eligibility

Gohlke is in his first season with Oakland, but his sixth college season overall. He spent the previous five seasons, from 2018-23, at Hillsdale College, a private Christian school in Hillsdale, Michigan that competes at the Division II level.

SEC crash and burn.

The ladies starting to open it up against Drake.

someone wake the Badgers up, there's a big game going on

I'm predicting Purdue won't live up to their seeding either. They are big but slow and stodgy. It's only a matter of which quick-handed team they meet who can exploit their plodding style, disrupt their offense with steals and pressure, and scramble their defense with hard cuts and ball movement for open shots.

eight games today so naturally they make dayton and arizona tip off at 10:45am local time

Fairfield - Indiana a good 'un thus far.

Feels like someone is gonna make a netflix drama about this middle-aged accountant bombing nba-distance threes in the tourney... real feel good everyman stuff.

that middle-aged accountant had better be in fantastic conditioning in order to run up and down the court with big athletic 20-year olds or he'll never make the team because his lousy defense would kill their chances.

lol apparently the wash post has a kim mulkey story lined up that’s so bad she’s out here threatening to sue them

just streisanding the hell out of it

Gonzaga 31-9 in ten minutes this half

Less than one month ago Oakland lost to Wright State (18-14) by 21 points and then barely squeaked by Detroit Mercy (1-31) who has got to be the worst team in D1 (despite the DVitale connection).

xxp Yeah, she blew the reporter off for two years and then got super pissed when he said he was going to press just before the tournament started.

Big guy for NC State has a Robert Tractor Traylor build.

pack

its cool when two low seeds play cause you know one of them is getting through but also its sad cause you have to say goodbye to one of them

Haven’t loved a pack team this much since Julius Hodge era

Burns seems impossible

I’m not sure I’ve seen him jump but his footwork and touch are incredible

he’s listed at 275 but he’s gotta be bigger than that

rip duquesne

always sad when an unexpected team wins a first-round game then gets utterly dismantled

sheesh this game

Oregon you gotta put it in the basketball ring

creighton basically is a 4 man team, really impressed by their stamina

We had a HS coach whose refrain was, "You can run around the gym and bounce if off the rim, but if it doesn't go in you're not gonna win."

kalkbrenner, alexander, and schierman played all 50 minutes

i had a HS coach who claimed that 40 years later, he was still haunted by someone once beating him baseline

i absolutely believed (and loathed) him

atlantic coast conference redemption tour (not you, virginia)

anyone else watching Alabama and Grand Canyon? just a completely bananas basketball game.

this freshman Audi Crooks from Iowa on the women's side is really fun to watch

On the men's side just two games remain unfinished from the Frantic First Four Days, including a #1 seed going to OT against a #9. Soon enough 50 teams will have been eliminated. Every year it's an impressive mess. Long live the underdogs!

Houston up 11 w/ a minute and a half left...and its in overtime

this freshman Audi Crooks from Iowa on the women's side

3-for-21 oh no

she's from Iowa State, not Iowa ... not trying to be pedantic, but worth noting so people aren't looking for her when Iowa plays (and because Iowa is the most watched team in women's college basketball right now).

Yeah she didn’t have a great game though I do feel the refs were calling her a little differently

on the men's side, some of the individual games have been exciting, especially in the first round, but the last couple of days had a lot of blowouts or games where one team was essentially in the driver's seat the vast majority of the game.

Colorado's women's team impressed me yesterday. Their shooting fell apart in the fourth quarter, but they managed to get back on track. They are a well-coached team with good players. I'm not optimistic about the next matchup, but am prepared to be pleasantly surprised.

Not a particularly exciting Men's Sweet 16 either! Mostly 1-5 seeds, and then the only two who don't fit this criteria are ACC schools. Only two teams not from the major 6 conferences are SDSU and the perennial Gonzaga entry. Can't always have the 2023 tourney experience I guess

hopefully the end will be the same

still fun to see the teams who were the best all year duke it out

yeah in the years with lots of upsets the sweet sixteen games can be really unbalanced

couldn’t happen to a more deeply cursed team! hope they enjoyed selling their souls for this

it's sad; i can't even properly hate uconn anymore without jim calhoun there

Xp he’s the best

It’s funny how state is just a bunch of old grad students living the dream

this is one of the craziest runs ever nine straight tournament games by a team with a losing conf record they beat duke twice lmao

RIP mookie

College basketball is funny like why did they never double Burns? I get he can pass out of the double well but he’s eating your lunch down there, Filipowski’s in foul trouble and state’s not exactly killing it from 3

F4 is a throwback battle of big men with Edey, Clingan and Burns. Should be fun seeing them go against each other.

You’re back a week

I was watching the women's game. I was really hopeful that we would at least be competitive--we were last year, but the Clark/Czinano combo and Formann's foul trouble killed us. This year, we weren't in it from pillar to post, on either end of the floor.

Ah my bad

College basketball is funny like why did they never double Burns?

idk if that's a college basketball thing. for example, oakland basically double-teamed him at the touch (and marquette did at times, as well)

Idk an NBA coach would’ve adjusted I think with the way things were going. It wasn’t a bad strategy but you e gotta be able to switch things up

right, i’m saying other college coaches did adjust in that way, this was just a strategic error by scheyer

Yes big error. State’s D has been the real engine. They held both Marquette and Duke to 27 point 1st halves

year that ends in 4

Caitlin Clark was unreal

I love watching Burns and the NC State run is absolutely amazing - they've won 9 "season's over if we lose" games in a row! - but I have to say, I would really like to see Edey vs. Clingan in the final.

dunno how much of this is Caitlin Clark but the womens ratings are really high this year, might actually be true that the reason people generally don't watch women's sports is because they're broadcast on ESPN 9 or whatever

Caitlin is clearly the biggest draw, but there is a plethora of talent in the women's game now.

womens ball college and pro is blowing up

One of the coolest sports moments I've had, well, ever, is watching Caitlin break the D1 scoring record with my 13 year old son. He can tell his grandkids about it someday.

nice

its cool that the top end talent sticks around for multiple years. builds continuity and rivalries.

yeah and you're actually watching the best young players in the world in women's college, while the best young men's players in the world play for the oklahoma city thunder

i’m hoping this ncaaw renaissance pushes more wnba expansion. as much as i love watching the aces beat the breaks off teams, there is just so much talent concentrated in a league of 12 teams.

its cool that the top end talent sticks around for multiple years. builds continuity and rivalries.

otm

yeah WNBA really needs more roster spots

who's gonna win
who's gonna lose

ive got tourney fever

uconn will win both it is a year that ends in 4

good game, bloody noses, tough d, good stuff

tragic end of quarter possession there for iowa

beautiful shot by Clark. that was like a James Harden move

that was nasty

that was nasty

haa xp

that’s wasn’t fair she didn’t even have any separation

the women might lose this one tho not sure any of them except paige are actually good, first game watching tho

oooh it's not over

admittedly not sure how iowa normally plays but it seems like they could be doing some things better

not great stuff

correction the center lady is good

wow weird

lmao. weak off ball offensive foul call in a big moment, super good look for the game

yeah thats interesting

the officiating throughout has been not amazing

iowa has won the final four and will move on to the final two

i do kind of think that was a moving screen

it was even kind of bad she threw an elbow but i still dont think you call that there

i get it, the whole game was called poorly and they did not respond to the moment, but the that's not a foul people are wrong

yeah felt a lot like the Chiefs/Eagles Super Bowl, amazing game marred by a foul call at the end

it was the right call though...I guess....

The thing is, when you call timeout instead of playing in chaos to draw up an intricate play like that, you run the risk of not executing it perfectly and potentially setting a (barely) illegal screen.

— Mike Prada. (PRAY-duh) (@MikePradaNBA) April 6, 2024

joe mazzulla vindicated

clearly a bad call. that’s life I guess

Gross ending

12 million watched the elite 8 game. Gotta make sure Clarke is in the final again.

Yes I'm a cynical bastard

had the same thought unfortunately. dreadful call obv

maybe we don’t want something like that called with three seconds left — and possibly they’d been letting that go all night, idk — but in a vacuum that was absolutely a foul

this one, however, yeesh

They called this foul against UCONN btw, I need a Congressional investigation tomorrow pic.twitter.com/6EjJ4oOEtZ

i really don’t think there’s a ref conspiracy against *connecticut women’s basketball* you guys

we accidentally recorded the Taurasi/Bird show version of the game, which really highlighted how poorly Uconn women's basketball is treated

lmao

if theres a conspiracy the motivation to get catlin clark in the final outweighs the historical primacy of uconn by many multiples

bad play

This angle doesn’t help my argument 😂😂😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/W6jIjCSv9m

— Taylor Twellman (@TaylorTwellman) April 6, 2024

Uconn played an aggressive style that will always dare the refs to make a call. They can't complain when the risk of their gameplan is realized.

yeah idk with any other team i might agree with you, but uconn brings the whole northeast

speaking as a northeast resident there is not some big uconn womens hoops fandom, or even the mens team for that matter, maybe in connecticut i remember talking to a guy there once who was into it, but catlin clark is so easily the biggest phenomenon the sport has seen

people who dont watch basketball have unprompted talked to me about her

if there was a conspiracy here, then it must have included the UConn player who set the flagrantly moving body slam screen that picked off the Iowa defender

it’s been pretty big in westchester/nyc metro for a couple of decades now, not to mention connecticut, where the worldwide leader happens to be based. back to rebecca lobo for more updates

are we talking about the part of nyc metro thats in stamford here

where i grew up: westchester county, north of the bronx, west of conn

it has been a thing in the city too for a while.

no denying that caitlin clark is the most popular and compelling star the women’s game has possibly ever had, but uconn is the establishment. the sport’s notre dame football, lakers/celtics, yankees, etc

as it was written baby

there is no yankees of womens hoops, which is why were you to do a conspiracy to put someone in the champ game you would push the button for catlin clark, so that some day there can been a womens hoops yankees

kevin k notable basketball fan and uconn alum had not even watched a uconn womens game this season before yesterday, which is frankly speaking shameful

uconn women have won 10 championships in the last 25 years and reached the final four 10 *other* times. they're a lot more dominant than the yankees

they last failed to make the sweet sixteen in . . . 1993

the yankees are famous

we needed to call in an extra server at my bar last night because it was so busy for the *women’s final four game* and it wasn’t uconn fans despite their quarter century of dominance. Clark is a phenomenon that’s moving the sport into the mainstream. why oh why would the powers that be want that to persist

fwiw i think we can all agree that its great womens hoops is getting some shine

i even watched some lol

yall better be in the wnba thread this summer goddammit

i have an appointment then

wack

why oh why would the powers that be want that to persist

ofc they're pleased to have one more game that showcases Clark and draws more viewers as a result. more viewers makes more money. but their pleasure didn't generate the foul call. an obvious and undeniable offensive foul generated that call.

it is possible to read the thread before posting

in any case iowa is gonna get smoked by (U)SC, right?

I’d really like to see UConn get beat tonight, but Alabama is so helter skelter, you never know.
I’d think it will take a Rollie Vnova game to beat UConn.

Matt Painter is from where I grew up with, so I saw him play in high school at Delta. Even being an IU alumni, I can’t cheer against the old PU in this case, but I’d be ok with NC state winning it all as I definitely don’t want UConn to win another or hear that roll tide bs.

yeah it is tbf, I don’t really do college sports at all any more except for the tourney. uconn being dominant again could potentially change that tho

Last nights game apparently drew more viewers than any NBA Finals or World Series game last year

thats wild

saw a tweet that said most watched basketball game period in ESPN’s history?

jesus christ

Wow!

I admire nc state's commitment to their looney tunes logo

might retire off my 12 over-and-backs prop bet

what do the college ball knowers think about edey? I’m not seeing a future NBA starter but what do I know

needs more crab dribble

Mark Eaton had a good NBA career, but the modern NBA is not kind to players who resemble him. Watching Edey I'm sure he has more skills than Tacko Fall did and he can probably find a niche somewhere, but I, too, doubt he'll be a starter unless he keeps developing year after year during and beyond his rookie contract. His height & size won't give him nearly as much of an advantage as it has in college.

just doesn’t seem like he moves well. and he’s about to turn 22 already it’s not like he’s getting more athletic

he’s gonna be the heaviest person in the nba as soon as he’s drafted, which is something.

he’s not a great defender, despite his size, and he can muscle his way to the hoop and draw fouls, but he’s not gonna be officiated the same way in the league. i don’t really see it with him, maybe he can stick as a bench big

Hard to identify an elite skill he could bring with him right away. He'd have to develop further if he's ever going to stick.

looked at a couple mock drafts and he's listed as a high second rounder so i don't think anyone's seeing a whole lot there

purdue fans can taste it

He a stiff

rip wuffpack

amazing run, salute

Edey does have some touch at the line. It probably depends on the team. Kenny Smith was saying a coach might try to use him as a change of pace type player and maybe try a traditional inside game setup.

Guy at work who is a big time NBA follower said to me the modern spacing will kill him as they will just drive past him as he too slow to stop them.

I don’t know hoop enough to say either way.

some tall guys in the final four

clingan’s feel and activity under the rim is just on a different level from edey. can definitely see a role for him in the league—if walker kessler can succeed, cling kong certainly can

Guy at work who is a big time NBA follower said to me the modern spacing will kill him as they will just drive past him as he too slow to stop them.

^^ yeah I think this is the rub, he’s going to be in tough shape in space

it must suck to be 7'4" and have that not be good enough anymore

fwiw, espn’s jon givony thinks edey will be a late lottery/mid-1st round pick

grant nelson, future new york knick (hopefully!)

this is a pretty good game some nice plays

everybody cares so much

so i knew that a local place that makes good sandwiches had a special named after a uconn player who's from the same town, assuming nothing i did not realize he's actually one of their starters (#11, white forward who can shoot it a bit)

at the end of the day thats what its all about xp

karabanh mi

checking back, the sandwich is essentially a slightly fancy chicken bacon ranch, it sounds good

And the karaban is painted red and white
That means everybody's staying overnight

he probably wears his uniform and sings that at parties

Dan Hurley's wood bead bracelet lets us know he's not all business

i love the hurley cam hes funny

good game, alabama is totally respectable but it seems like uconn eventually just wears other teams out

congratulation to uconn the champ game will be a true battle of the big men

the men will be big and the effort will be big
