College Basketball 2023-24 Discussion

Kentucky was down two starters. Dug dropped 33. Florida has gotten a bit better, and Michigan has gotten a lot worse.

The thing with Michigan is literally that the only way they can win is with insane shot making.

Michigan is 6-0 when it scores 1.2 PPP, 1-14 when it scores under 1.2 PPP.

Watching games, at least one team in every game has a quality portal obtained guard. Somehow, Juwan could not attract one to Ann Arbor.

He definitely attracted one, he just spent a month with him committed even though he couldn’t enroll.

Indiana is in a near identical situation to Michigan, FWIW.

And MSU just refused to add a useful player at the 3 or 5 when it potentially could have had deep NCAA Tournament upside. Crazy to me.

Agreed. Mussolini a more apt reference.

Just in case anyone wants to read up on his recruitment from 10 years ago

DePaul put up a 65 adjusted offensive efficiency last night, scoring 39 against Seton Hall.

They were 8/30 from 2 (5/19 at the rim!), 3/20 from 3, and turned the ball over 13 times

it’s good to get your heart rate up with exercise a few times per week, though, so not a total waste of time

Wish Michigan would have scheduled DePaul. When was the last time Michigan played DePaul?

I feel like this wkend’s game vs Rutgers will be the equivalent of watching DePaul vs Georgetown. Yikes.

Wondering how many DePaul players can beat me in a 1 mile race.

There is a video floating around on social media of a player throwing the ball out of bound because he thought it wasn’t live so he passed it to the refs.

Oh I saw it!

me seeing this has to be what you feel like seeing my memes. I can tell I’m supposed to take something from it but I have no earthly idea what that thing is

I’m so serious when I say this, but if Pj Haggerty doesn’t leave and Tulsa continues to do well in the portal I think Isaiah has a shot at the NCAA Tournament his Senior year

Just realized konkol is from big ten country.

it’s sort of hard for someone to not be from big ten country these days

Yep born and played in Wisconsin.

Interestingly he’s a part of Jim Larranaga’s coaching tree and spent lots of time at George Mason and Miami FL

Wonder if the transfer portal is going to lead to more implosions, or at least sooner in the year.

Not a lot of glue holding teams together once they start to go south.
