College Basketball Open Discussion

Seriously: Timme absolutely cannot keep LMU’s center away from the basket. I have no idea how Garza did not score 60 on this team.

Well he put up 30 on 13-16, so I think you still have a point re: post defense

The home crowd, albeit a small one, also helped Kansas and bothered the visitors …

I’ve watched every KU game this year (moderate fan, live in Lawrence) and in no way would I have ever thought they even had the slightest chance to win this one. Obviously glad they did (mostly for UM) but yeah I didn’t even recognize this Baylor team. Night and day compared to their pre-covid break.

But indianas season was still a resounding success which I think is all he was saying. It’d suck balls to lose in the sweet 16, but the season still a success.

Kind/harsh words from Josh Christopher :rofl:

The Pac12 would have a losing record head-to-head against the Mountain West this year, much as they did a couple of years ago vs. the WCC. Mountain West has 4 teams deserving of bids, and the Pac12 has 2 at best. Of course, they’ll get 4 and the MWC will likely get 2.

What annoys me about this is the COVID-lost Tournament means UNC keeps their streak of consecutive made tourneys alive.

Although I’m still more annoyed that they cheated themselves into two national championships and got away with it.

I won’t lie, that second comment makes me like him a little bit more :rofl:

Given how things turned out, I doubt there’s any bitterness on the Howard/Michigan side.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Howard texted Isaiah Todd after some of his good G League games. Just seems like someone that genuinely reaches out and keeps in touch with a lot of coaches and players.

LaVall sent this shirt sent to all sent this shirt to all 98 Black head coaches a few weeks ago.

I’m enjoying watching LaVall coach today!

So, ChattaM, if you are watching the Villanova/Butler game, how about the tech for a flop against Butler at the7:30ish mark of the second half. I sure didn’t think it was a flop…at all. Neither did Gene Steratore. What say you? I believe the official literally gave Villanova a point they didn’t deserve.

Was a terrible call

I hope it doesn’t come down to that point being a factor. Gosh Butler is terrible at FTs!

I’ll pretty much guarantee he does. He still regularly talks to kids he recruited but chose to go elsewhere. Todd was the first 5 star to commit to him which at least shows he wanted to come to UM and was willing to go

Wow! This Harris kid is GOOD. Not playing like a freshman. I hated Bolden’s shot BUT IT WET IN!!! Butler by 14 late!

I want Villanova to be the 2 seed on our bracket. We are considerably better than them

The only thing I don’t like about this season is watching our fan base harass Josh Christofer.

I wish we could be better than that, I guarantee Juwan is being better than that.

I didn’t see it, but I’m sure Gene’s correct.
