2020-2021 NCAA (maybe???) basketball season thread

Makes a lot of sense and the women are doing it for their tournament in San Antonio.

It worked for the NBA - 3 venues and 1 practice facility.  A lot less teams, so you need double the venues.

    I didn’t have a ticket for the finals that day and in the hotel lobby I was asking around some of the Pitt administrators and staff if anyone had an extra ticket. One of the assistant coach’s wives tr

I don't see why they'd put the final four in Lucas if there's no fans, why would they need all that room?. Having it in Hinkle would be amazing. 

Huge name if true. Along with Tshibwe

NCAA will require men's basketball tourney participants to have 7 consecutive negative COVID-19 tests before arriving in Indy. Daily testing while in the bubble, too

Nail biter on ESPN b/w Bruins and Sun Devils

Highly entertaining game with Bama/Auburn, Tide hangs on to win 94-90 to move to 4-0 in conference play.  

Bruins sweep in the desert. 5-0 in the PAC, 9-2 overall.  Probably in the top 25.

unfortunately, the bar isn't that high in the pac this year.

Big Blue may be getting its act together, 3 straight wins.  They’re working their way up to the 16 Seed line in Gonzaga bracket.

Actually you’re wrong.  Better conference than it’s been in a while.

The highest rated team according to ken pom is USC @ 17.  The B12 has 5 teams ranked ahead of them.  Being the tallest midget doesn't mean you're tall.   

 

Ultimately; we'll find out how good the Pac is during the tournament.  

AP Top 10 vs. NET Top 10

Gonzaga (1 - 1)

Baylor (2 - 2)

Villanova (3 - 7)

Texas (4 - 9)

Iowa (5 - 5)

Kansas (6 - 13)

Michigan (7 - 4)

Creighton (8 - 14)

Wisconsin (9 - 10)

Tennessee (10 - 3)

 

Learn me on why teams like Illinois are getting such love in NET? 9-4 with losses to #73 Missouri and #35 Maryland?  Texas has wins over #13, #26, #36, #43, #52 and only a single loss to #7.

The last Pac-12 champ was 1997 and you've had a grand total of 2 Final Four teams in the past 12 seasons (and 5 since Y2K was a thing).

Thanks for the memory, asswipe.  Now Imma hafta start therapy all over again. 

Might be a good time to jump on the Bama bandwagon, fun team to watch and about to go 5-0 in SEC after road wins in Knoxville, Auburn and tonight Lexington.

At least you got Tshibwe for next year?

Juwan Howard's Michigan Wolverines roll their eyes at Alabama's bandwagon.

Go Blue is also doing well, crushed Wisconsin last night. 

Michigan is a basketball school anyways.

I have no idea. NET seems poorly conceived and I made a similar point earlier in the season. Illinois other three losses (now) are to tOSU and Mizzou who are both good not great (maybe Tech level) and by 13 to Baylor. Their best win is by 27 against Minnesota and Duke on the "road" I guess? They seem like a perfectly mediocre tournament team.

The updated for this week is even worse. Colorado, Virginia and drake are ahead of Texas. Who is 13th...

Pitt just beat Duke, 79-73. The game was at Pitt. We are slowly building our way out of the StallingsDisaster and stand at 7-2.

At one point UCLA, IU and UL were also unranked along with these 3.  

Another impressive road win by Bama...  23 3s made...  Jesus.

Yeah, Alabama was scoring like crazy. I flipped over from the Pitt game during a commercial and Alabama had 96, or 94, points with just over 7 minutes to play.

They had 30+ with over 11 minutes left in 1H.  

That’s Hank Gathers & Bo Kimble scoring right there!

Indiana up 7 against no. 4 Iowa with less than 5 minutes to go 

Iowa goes down

Helluva OOB play by Stanford FTW over UCLA 73-72.

yep, just a great play with 0.8 seconds left and no timeouts. smart kids up there at Stanford.

After Stanford led for the whole OT it looked like the Bruins were going to steal a win. What a painful loss that would’ve been but Stanford snatched victory from the jaws of defeat at not even the last second. 

Bama up just 5 on Miss St. with just over a minute to play. 

 

PS: Tide go on to win 81-73. 

Edited by Underdog

a lot of people were singing the Tide's praises during the preseason and they were not wrong. that's a talented team down there. i would not want to see them in the tourney. 

4 teams from the state of Texas are in the AP top 10 right now. Still crazy that only one D1 team from the state has ever won a title. Several close calls!

Who has ever made the title game besides Tech and Texas Western?
