2023-24 College Basketball Thread

What a performance by Duquesne.

I watched the first half. They were looking good, just had trouble pulling away and staying up. Glad to see them get the W.

A10 tournament has been wild so far.

Classic Dambrot. Don't get too excited, he'll eventually have to coach the championship game

[count2infinity]

I have zero faith they'll get past the Bonnies, let alone win the whole thing. Just fun to see them pull that big upset (along with everyone else in the A10).

I have followed the A-10 since PSU was in it (look it up, youngsters). I'll be rooting for the Duquesne/Bona winner to win again tomorrow.

If you've never been to St. Bonaventure- it's nowhere. Like, they play high mid major D-1 basketball here? Bob Lanier notwithstanding. I guess some people want to go to Olean..... I think teams fly into Buffalo and take a sled dog to get there, although Bona themselves fly out of Bradford. They do pull their share of upsets and tourney berths though.

Also, the A-10 has a day off in their tourney? That's one of the great things about these conference tourneys IMO. Oh you pulled off a big win? Well strap in bucco you got another one tomorrow.

I kinda like it from a scheduling standpoint because then you're not bogged down with games in the 50s in the semis and the championship because you've got two tired teams. I imagine it was put in place for the top seeds to have another advantage but since all 4 of them couldn't be bothered to win yesterday, they have the whole offseason to rest.

Two straight days of 11:30am-2am with hoops and we're back again for the noon start from Minneapolis. I guess there is one advantage to being jobless at this time of year.

I tried but couldn't manage to stay up to watch UC East Podunk vs UC North Bumblescrew in the Big West.

Friars lose in the semis. It's in your hands, committee

[Orlando Penguin]

No team that has lost before the semifinals of their conference tournament has gone on to win the National Title.

Something to think about if you want to have Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Arizona, Creighton, Kansas, among others as your bracket baby.

Go Zips

[shafnutz05]

Dukes!

[count2infinity]

Oh man. Dukes are gonna break my heart in the final.

[shafnutz05]

Purdue goes down in the B1G semi... They managed to only lose by one in overtime despite making ZERO field goals. Officiating was a disgrace.

Iowa State is doubling up Houston 56-28 in the second half of the Big 12 championship. Houston is projected as the #1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament

[Orlando Penguin]

HOOOOOOOOTERRRRRRRRSSSSSSS

Amazing that Temple is going to play in a meaningful game on Selection Sunday after the **** seasons they've had the past 3-4 years.

[Orlando Penguin]

Kent read, Kent write, Kent figure out that you're up by 1 so you don't foul.

Congrats @willeyeam

Congrats @willeyeam

That's gonna haunt that kid the rest of his life. Probably cost them a tourney berth.

What an idiot!

Crazy bid stealers this year. Can’t imagine Providence, Pitt, etc getting in now. See yinz in the NIT, maybe.

This was a fun ending to go to bed to last nite:

[count2infinity]

Don’t you get my hopes up like this, Dukes.

such a clown sport

[RonnieFranchise]

Brown was going to be a great story but then they choked on Yale’s schlong for the last 47 seconds.

[count2infinity]

Duquesne color ribbons just fell all over the one side of the court. Someone is getting fired. Lol

[King Colby]

Go Dukes!

[count2infinity]

Duquesne gonna choke this. For sure.

[RonnieFranchise]

Uh oh
