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?
Spoiler
Lettuce college basketball
TexAM doesn't take good shots. No way this strategy is sustainable. Michigan by a million.
Awful sequence to end the first half
TAMU w excellent ball handling
Michigan better not **** this up
The fact that the absolutely garbage UCSD team (I mean WTF was that) managed to come back from more than a dozen down to tie it in the last few minutes does not give me much confidence in this Michigan team.
Still, go blue. Even though they are a lock to lose here.
Pitino getting badly outcoached by Coach Cow wasn't on my card.
the only NCAAT team that has a worse offensive eFG% than TAMU is Alabama St.
aTm shoots the ball horrendously but they defend and rebound very well. It's a similar profile to SJU. I didn't expect Michigan to lose if they held their own on the boards, but that seems to where we are headed.
golddog's Pups up against it
Payne is the best big man I've seen since Chris Webber. They're the better team.
I humbly apologize for betting on your team, Michigan fans ��
Laggies have arrived
wild that last game Texas Tech shot FORTY SIX threes and this game they are 1/8
Omg we're gonna win!!!
Six minutes of bonus+ Wolverines letsgo
