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(!)

we have a scrum in madison

lol this is a tremendously bad look for howard

you hafta think some serious disrespect was perceived in what the badger coach said

not howard’s first time not acting his age

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

Hate see Mike go out like this.

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

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.

griffin is gonna be a high pick, but maybe cause this draft is just not great

DAVE HOLMGREN

lol

Dad goals

is michigan even going to make the tournament

supposedly yes, but if they don’t they only have themselves to blame

is the play-in even the tournament? i say no

i say no for power conference teams but yes for others

definitely iffy for power teams that were ranked in the preseason top 10!

carolina's armando bacot from the field tonight: 9-10

the other nine tar heels: 13-50

hate to see it

oh my duke seems to have lost another game

o shit

hate to lose to the hokies and/or wahoos

we are the same

he did in the last game too

the backup thomas haugh has been better than him all year

game got good

both teams have seemed shook the entire game

okay now they're locked in this is awesome

florida getting out on the break with under a minute one score champ game pretty cool

whatever hex lay upon Duke at the end of the game seems to have transferred to Houston

congrats to florida congrats to al horf

Westbook-ass ending right there

lol

brutal

*tv guy voice* you gotta get a shot off there

Great close out by Clayton on that shot

florida came back from late deficits in round 2, elite 8, final four, and tonight

nice

Clayton certainly solidified his bona fides going into the draft. He's going to get paid.

oh

Gilbert’s kid

reads like it :/

I am not ready for the existence and prominence of "the Boozer twins"

the boozer fam is back its boozer time baby

love too booz

were cruisin for a boozin

Dudes are getting too tall imo doesn't seem right

the nil era bringing a cadre of ridiculously talented euros is def my fav cbb subplot. like why does virginia tech have a 6'9 greek point guard who worked out at the combine last year?

yeah pretty much every top euro goes to college now, for guys who arent going to make the nba its prob the best money theyll ever make, euro ball doesnt pay like that

what the

Hidalgo made 16 of 25 shots, 3 of 6 3-pointers and 9 of 11 free throws in 28 minutes on the court. She had nine rebounds and four assists.

Hidalgo's 16 steals broke the NCAA record held previously by several players, most recently Ticha Penicheiro of Old Dominion in 1998.

Notre Dame had 30 steals among Akron's 38 turnovers, resulting in 41 points. Notre Dame's 20 turnovers led to 13 points for Akron.

Hidalgo was exciting to watch last year, this stat line tonight is bonkers though

it's not ideal

no offense to hidalgo, but if one player can do that it suggests that such games aren't at all serious

Louisville looks pretty darn good. Aly Khalifa is a mix of your big muscle in the paint center with being an excellent passer. He will probably play as a pro for a long time.

UK should be pretty good too. They are bigger and more defensively physical than last years squad, but so far is not as good a shooting or at the free throw stripe as maybe thought they could be.

Purdue looks like Purdue. Their hoop team has been a AG project forever and they seems to always have player types that are there every year. Braden Smith is just the next step in premature balding dadguard they always have.

UK did not look good tonight against the Spartans. That one big guy on Michigan State can shoot it, he's going to have a job in the league.

rip rodney rogers

he was an absolute beast in college, kind of a proto-zion

Michigan is just annihilating Gonzaga.

yea they are looking way better than i could have expected in my wildest dreams

must be kinda rough being cayden boozer

UK fans have been pretty pouting on the team's start this year. They have not really yet started to go at coach Mark Pope, but their expectations are obviously higher than what the Desert says they are from my investigations.

I think getting the win over IU which was solid, as they punched them in the mouth with the defense in the second half and seemingly doing the same to St. Johns today might buy a bit of grace for a couple weeks.

A common insult I have heard on this years UK team is that they "PLAY LIKE A BIG 10 TEAM" which means kinda slow and fugly.

idk if he is really an nba prospect, so i'm posting about him here. but i absolutely love morez johnson jr. my favorite player on michigan.

gotta say, rooting for michigan right now kinda feels like rooting for the harlem globetrotters. their smallest win in their last ten was a comeback victory on the road vs. maryland (they won by 18)

not as globetrotters-like last night (and morez played horribly lol), but a win is a win

very nice passing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY5ApzTU1Yw

the behind the back pocket pass is so good

crazy accuracy, makes it look routine

you, sir, are no bobby hurley

Did you know Dominique has a son playing for UGA? I guess he had him when he was 46.
