Pacific didn't score for 7:03, it was 26-0. Then not again until 6:41 left in the half, it was 39-2

lol Duke

 

[HisIceness]

Go Wolfpack win the whole damn thing

 

[McGarnagle]

Has Kyle Neptune been fired yet?

 

[John Price]

wtf Tennessee

 

[GKJ]

Has Kyle Neptune been fired yet?

I realize the rationale behind his hiring, but his one season at Fordham he was 16-16 and couldn't even get to be .500 within the conference. He should have never been hired, but they predetermined it.

As an alum living across the country, following the basketball team is really my only remaining connection to the school. And the last couple years have sucked. Jay Wright was a legend, Kyle was completely unqualified to take over what had become a Blueblood program. We know the cultural forces at play and Fr. Peter wanting a certain profile in a new coach, but they didn't even do a search. They just asked for a quick recommendation from Jay and just hired him on the spot.

From what I'm reading from people with deeper basketball knowledge than myself, the consensus seems to be that if Jay Wright were coaching that same roster, they'd be ranked top 15 at worst.

I’m not so involved in college basketball to know how good they’re supposed to be, but that’s probably a reasonable expectation, as they were ranked to start the season. I’m sure the NIL collective is all over them.

Florida Destroying Bama frauds and putting up over 100 each time is glorious.

 

[adsfan]

Carry on my wayward son.

1. Kansas
2. Duke
3. Michigan State
4. Purdue

I think that 3 of these teams will flame out in the NCAA tourney. Add Marquette as the 4th.

It has been a crazy season.

 

[HisIceness]

Seeing NC State finally win one of these things is awesome. UNC and Duke winning every year bores me.

 

[John Price]

best 5 days of tourney action

NC State becomes the first double digit seed to win the tourney. amazing when I saw them play Tuesday had no idea they could go all the way

 

[GKJ]

 

[mouser]

NC State winning the ACC knocked some other team off the tourney bubble. Have to wonder if that’s gonna be Virginia.

 

[John Price]

Virginia and Pitt are probably safe

then again acc outside of NC and Duke had a off year

I'd be shocked if uva didn't make it and I don't like uva lol

 

[GKJ]

The end of Pac 12 basketball

 

[HisIceness]

NC State winning the ACC knocked some other team off the tourney bubble. Have to wonder if that’s gonna be Virginia.

Wake Forest probably, possibly UVA.

There needs to be more support for anti-siphoning policies for major sporting events.

Such a policy for Turner's March Madness games would entail them being simulcast on OTA stations in markets with a rooting interest in the participating teams.

Sister stations to CBS affiliates that carry ABC, Fox, The CW, NBC, MyNetworkTV, or are traditional independents would have right of first refusal in markets where such a station (or digital subchannel), exists, and even then, only if the station's signal reaches the campus of the team in question.

I care very much about people who can't afford any form of pay TV and thus have only an antenna to provide them TV, and the NCAA should too.

Duquesne wins the A-10 and will go to the tournament for the first time in 47 years

Go away.

JMU and Wisconsin should be good.
