    State of college basketball rant thread

    You make great points and I completely agree. It’s like they want these kids to be semi-professionals without the professionalism, while trying to label them as college kids at the same time. The way it is set up, those two things cannot co-exist. Could you imagine if Corbin Carroll just said...

    State of college basketball rant thread

    Bingo! And that’s exactly what my comment was getting at. As fans, we want at least a little bit of consistency in who we watch, and who we “get to know” from afar. I know I won’t get to watch Gunnar, Adley, Cowser, Westburg, Rodriguez, Santander, etc. on my team for a decade. But darn if it...

    We might have a revamped VCU roster every season, but as a sports fan I’m just glad I’m guaranteed to watch Gunnar Henderson in black and orange for a few more seasons before some other team pays him a billion dollars.

    I live with all women, and do indeed have an Amazon package at my door every day. Can confirm, not exciting.

    Players Max Shulga in transfer portal

    I’ve felt this way for a while now. It’s been difficult to hold interest. It’s to the point where I don’t even have a reaction to news like this. It’s just complete apathy. Our entire team could transfer out today (like last year, I suppose), and I’d feel very little emotion over it. We’d grab...

    I am. Alabama has hit a few shots early, but UConn will go on a huge run at some point like they have every other game. That said, I’m rooting for Alabama.

    Clingan vs. Edey is going to be an incredible matchup.

    UConn-Iowa so good! Just great basketball. I tell ya, I had more fun watching this game than I will have watching the men’s final four. Those gals can flat out ball.

    League A10 Basketball: news and discourse around the league

    Yeah, Conwell and Swope are also very good players from that squad. They both transferred to ISU from elsewhere before this season, so not sure if they’d get a waiver to do it again for next season. Someone who knows the transfer rules better than I do can probably fill us in. That said, if SLU...

    Also, can Barkley stop pretending like he knows college basketball go back to churros and big ol San Antonio women? We need churro talk. What a friggin riot.

    Illinois is interesting. They have the single best player in the tournament thus far, but I don’t think they have the horses to beat UConn. If UConn wins this one, they’ll have a cakewalk to the finals. Clemson/Alabama sure as heck ain’t beating them. Purdue is looking really good, final four...

    Marquette closes well. They can still win this game.

    I hear you, and agree that Hurley isn’t exactly likable. But I tell you what, he’s doing a fantastic job getting his guys to buy in and play team ball. Stephon Castle is a potential one and done who is an absolute defensive menace. He’s sacrificed scoring to shut down the opposition’s best...

    Amazing, isn’t it? You give Indiana State an 11 seed in the South bracket and they are very likely in the sweet sixteen right now. That goofy chonky fella with the glasses is super famous. Their coach is the next big thing. Instead, they’re playing in the friggin NIT. Same could probably be said...

    Good stuff, and same here. I’m a super tall dude and my girls are both probably going to be close to 6 feet tall. It’s good for them to see these girls play. Now if I could just get my 9 year old to pay attention when she plays and grab a rebound here and there. She’s basically a girl with a...

    And while I’m at it….This past year we bought season tickets to Northwestern women’s hoops. For $150 per family, I got to take my young daughters to a bunch of games courtside at a nice arena and watch some great Big 10 talent. Northwestern was pretty terrible, but who cares. My daughters met...

    I’m with you. It’s already turned me away to an extent. No more regional conferences, coaching carousel every year, and teams basically turning over their rosters every single season. To me, one of the best parts of college hoops is witnessing the development of players from freshman to senior...

    Reminds me of the tourney game where Texas A&M beat Northern Iowa after they were down 12 with 44 seconds left. Wildest college basketball game I’ve ever seen.

    Wait, what? You always want a bid. Every single time. This is the team who had their coach taken, along with their two best players. They managed to grab a coach and two other fellas from friggin Montana State. They get an at-large and smoke a decent Big 12 team in the first round before...
