this freshman Audi Crooks from Iowa on the women's side
3-for-21 oh no
― mookieproof, Monday, 25 March 2024 04:25 (six months ago) link
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
― frogbs, Monday, 25 March 2024 14:15 (six months ago) link
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

kinda bummed at not having greg gumbel in the ncaa tournament studio. ernie is fine, but greg is such a fixture in that job. apparently there's a "family health issue" keeping him away, which sucks.

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
― Comfortably numbnuts (Heez), Monday, 1 April 2024 01:08 (six months ago) link
F4 is a throwback battle of big men with Edey, Clingan and Burns. Should be fun seeing them go against each other.
― The Artist formerly known as Earlnash, Monday, 1 April 2024 11:42 (six months ago) link
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.

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
― Comfortably numbnuts (Heez), Monday, 1 April 2024 14:34 (six months ago) link
right, i’m saying other college coaches did adjust in that way, this was just a strategic error by scheyer
― the defenestration of prog (voodoo chili), Monday, 1 April 2024 14:37 (six months ago) link
Yes big error. State’s D has been the real engine. They held both Marquette and Duke to 27 point 1st halves

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.
― alpine static, Tuesday, 2 April 2024 06:26 (six months ago) link
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
