25/26 College Basketball

[BUCKnation]

Of course the last two games rule.

Yeah just when i was about to go to bed with the bucks game looking decent

[MickeyDavis]

I have UCSD +3

[Bucksmaniac]

I know you can say sometimes close wins are skill but Michigan is the luckiest team I have ever seen. Just one win by more than 6 points since mid January. Most of their losses have been blowouts.

[ReasonablySober]

So watching UC-San Diego reminded me of something.

20+ years ago I'm playing small town summer league baseball in college. I'm a senior or super senior and on my team is a guy who was a year younger than me in high school. Total as*hole, wasn't anywhere near as good as me. We're catching up in the dugout and he tells me how he went to college in Hawaii. Snowboarded in the morning, surfed at night, played baseball whenever he wasn't doing either.

I just remember being extremely mad at my family in that moment because I didn't know you could do something like that.

Anyway being a kid playing ball at UC-SD must be awesome.

I don’t follow college basketball much at all anymore, but can someone tell me why Louisville was an 8 seed if they were ranked 10th in the AP?

They lost anyway, so it’s a moot point, but that seeding seemed wild prior to the game.

[ReasonablySober]

Robert Morris is hanging with Bama. That could potentially have huge ramifications for Wisconsin.

[MickeyDavis]

Some good early games

[Profound23]

Refs screwed Robert Morris.

Dickerson took a charge when Robert Morris was up one late, no call and Bama got an alley-oop.

Previous possession, Bama misses a free throw and Nelson shoved Dickerson with a forearm and they call the foul on Robert Morris.

A few other questionable calls but those two especially when the game was close.

[PintSizedBox10]

Robert Morris is getting absolutely hosed.

[Ron Swanson]

Absolute ref show robbing us of the best game of the day so far. Pathetic.

[Ron Swanson]

And here come the couple "make up calls" now that the game's out of reach.

[MickeyDavis]

I would have never bet on Memphis if I knew Lisa was doing the game. Now I'm forced to watch.

[Profound23]

I need to see more of Flagg before I'm sold on him as some generational talent.

[Ron Swanson]

I need to see more of Flagg before I'm sold on him as some generational talent.

People throw the term "generational" around way too liberally. Is he a Zion, Wemby, or even AD level prospect? Nah, but he's firmly in the next rung down from those guys. Easy #1 overall guy in a decently deep draft class. Better/more complete prospect than Ayton/Luka, Towns, Cade, Edwards, etc. Any weaknesses are of the "elbows too pointy" kind and I'd be stunned if he was an outright bust (i.e. never makes an All-Star team).

[MikeIsGood]

I don't want UNC to win, but it would also be hilarious for more SEC teams to lose. It's going not great for their depth-teams.

[StickeeFingaz]

That’s a shame.

[MickeyDavis]

After a very profitable day yesterday, not doing well so far today. Go Oregon.

[MikeIsGood]

12/12 so far today, so I'm sure I'll miss the last 4 now that I've mentioned it.

[MVP2110]

The Big Ten goes 8-0 in R1, meanwhile only Duke is left for the ACC

[MikeIsGood]

Yeah ACC truly was awful this year. I didn’t pick the Clemson loss but the rest was unsurprising. Football ruined their basketball chances.
