NCAA Basketball Thread 2024-2025
Quick OP here just to get us up and running
Things to watch for this year:
1. Can UConn 3-peat? Hurley won back to back championships with Clingan, Tristen Newton, and company. Can he make it a third with only one returning starter?
2. Who will be this years national player of the year? Zach Edey was the best player I've seen play college basketball in my lifetime. People throw the term generational talent around alot and Edey was truly a generational talent winning back to back national player of the year awards. But, now he's gone. So who can win the award?
- the 5th year guards in Mark Sears(Alabama) and RJ Davis(UNC) are a good spot to start. Both elite shooters and engines of an offense, they should lead two really good teams.
- the 5th year centers in Hunter Dickinson(Kansas) and Ryan Kallbrenner(Creighton) are also viable options. They'll be the anchors to what should be two really good teams.
- The phenoms: Cooper Flagg(Duke), Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper(Rutgers), VJ Edgecombe(Baylor), and Tre Johnson(Texas) lead a loaded freshman class.
3. Who are the contenders?

Great. North Carolina is back to sucking again.
Hard to defend when the other team pushes off every drive.
Closest game was Clemson game still?
Unc can get back in this
Ole Miss just shooting good
4 games were 1 possession in the final minute.
Clemson lost by 2 but never had the ball with a chance to tie or take lead.
Michigan made a 3 to go up 1 with 2:12 left. From there Michigan scored 2 points, UCSD scored zero.
Mississippi St had the ball down 3 but airballed the attempt at the tie
Kansas had the ball down 3 with 45s left, turned it over and never had another chance to tie or take the lead.
