2017-18 NCAA Basketball Thread

Don't understand why people want liangelo suspended for the year!

Yes, he and the boys shoplifted from 3 stores. What they did was bad. But they should be suspended three or four games. A year seems harsh.

I think it has to do with the unfathomable mind blowing stupidity of what they did. They are INCREDIBLY lucky they didn't end up spending several years in a prison labor camp. The fact that they could be that unaware of the consequences of their actions makes any sensible person question how they were allowed onto a college campus in the first place.

 

[John Price]

They expressed regret at their decision to John Kelly and thanked they president for bailing them out. They paid their price. Just let em play. Punish them five games in conference play. Season is way too harsh.

 

[PanthersPens62]

Agree......not fair to basically punish the whole team by suspending them for the entire season.

Yup, this.

It was very foolish of them.

Gentlemen, this is the season a 16 seed upsets a 1 in the Tournament!

God is Washington horrible. Down 31 in the 3rd place game here at MSG to Va Tech. About 2,000 here right now, nightcap is Providence vs St Louis.

I'm trying to get people I know to go to Nova/Zags and UConn/Cuse. Nobody has really answered me yet.

Basically nobody wants to pay big money to see a bad Syracuse team play a bad UCONN team. That's the match that's supposed to be the ticket seller. They want like $40 to get into Kentucky-Monmouth in December. Seriously.

I had no idea they were "that much".

I went to the preseason NIT at MSG about five years ago. I got tickets for $15 each, and the staff there let us upgrade our seats for free since nobody was really there.

I got tickets to the Legends Classic at Barclays a few years back for less than $20.

Saying Washington is horrible is like saying the sky is blue.

[Jack Straw]

Can't blame the Sixers medical staff for this one

 

[rangerssharks414]

Is he still going to be a top three pick?

 

[bluesfan94]

Is he still going to be a top three pick?

I’d imagine not. Bagley/Ayton/Doncic should all be ahead of him right now and then who knows if someone else breaks out. My dream is that MPJ comes back next year cause then Mizzou would be legit dangerous. Oh well.

 

[HisIceness]

#2 Arizona goes down.

 

[Ivan13]

Doncic is unreal.

 

[sabremike]

Got a nice $5 ticket to Sacred Heart at St John's next Saturday thanks to SeatGeek.

 

[Voight]

Why should they

Just put them on the court

Because its the NCAA, and they've suspended players for less serious things.

I'm not saying they should be suspended, but the NCAA does not like when their players are in the news for negative things.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Arizona vs. Purdue for the right to avoid last in the Battle 4 Atlantis... who would have thought that?

 

[rangerssharks414]

Arizona State has neutral court wins over K-State and Xavier. They also beat San Diego State at home. I don’t think they’ll crack the top 25, but they should get some bottom of the ballot votes.

 

[GKJ]

So, Alabama was down to 3 players against Minnesota and still nearly rallied.

 

[SupremeNachos]

Did you watch the game? If you did you would have seen that the Gopher players were just trying to run the clock down and not run up the score.

You thought they were playing an elongated 2-man advantage in hockey. #Topical.

I did not watch the game of course. But one would think that it wouldn’t spur rally to get within 5.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I wonder if a team has ever gone from #2 to unranked in a week.
