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
Bama outscored opponent from 3 by 57 points last game, this game get powned??
lol Duke are just so much better
Duke cleverly doing what BYU didn't and attempting some perimeter defense
This dook team is insane.
Feels kind of a miracle Bama are only down 9 at the half....
This game is a case study in why Mark Sears cannot cut it in the NBA.
Bama's desperation starting to show.
oh gods, senor chang is a dookie? now i really hate them
Duke abusing their small guards and they’re not getting it back from the 3-point line
Must be nice to get glazed this much while laying a massive egg and getting carried by your superteam.
Rabbi Chang went to UNC

I liked Houston all year until that Purdue showing when they just couldn't score, and it kind of looked like there was no reason to think they would score. I'm sure I let that influence me too much.
Well it's not like me to hype Tennessee in a big game, that's for sure. But aren't they a superior version of Houston? Houston looked like they couldn't score against Purdue. I realize their main main was ice cold, will bounce up probably. What I just saw from Houston would get about what St. Johns would get in the SEC this year. Barely over .500.
What's the line?
Tennessee has opened the game by going 1 for 11 from the field. I assume that you understand what I was talking about when I said that Tennessee couldn't shoot the ball.
Houston playing the smallest lineups you’ll see them play and the lone big man keeps winning on the glass. Francis and then Tugler.
This feels over
Holy ****! Also, I forgot about Dr Robert Anderson too. So Nassar and Dr Robert Anderson, arguably the two biggest sexual abusers in the history of humankind, both graduated from Michigan. Not a great look. I have to give Michigan the edge now but if you take away Ann Coulter then Duke is still more evil.
the worst NCAAT ever
LOL Vols. 15 pts at half.
They need to switch to the women's ball or something. This sport sucks.
