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
At least Purdue Houston is a flip
Alright, I'm ready for some Madness in these next two ganes
We are basically locked into an ELITE remainder of the tournament now.
All you need is LOVE
Caleb ****ing love. That dude is cold blooded.
Flagg and Knueppel are absurd
That’s the Caleb Love special. Dude could be a superstar if he could eliminate his bottom 10% decisions.
He can't and he won't.
That’s why I was fine with him leaving.
This **** is over. Duke too good.
Clinic.
Zzzzzz
Game has suddenly become fahr!
That flagrant was such blatant riggage right as Arizona stole all the momentum.
Duke player does the exact same thing, it's reviewed and just a common foul. This is insane man.
Unreal run by Texas Tech
I'm having flashbacks right now
Fairly certain that call never hit backboard?
Have to have to call a timeout there. They got it across with like 5 seconds left. Enough time to draw up a play with multiple options, instead they dribble into a contested fade away 2
