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?

Lettuce college basketball
MADNESS LFG
ffs
Purcan't out here laying bricks
High point has also shot a ton of bricked 3s
Refs seem to love Purdont
at the half
the Bluejays w a crazy eFG% after 20 mins
at the half
the Panthers showing a ton of heart, but getting punked on the boards
Pretty boring start. Need High Point to make a run to make it fun. This Wisconsin Montana game is never going to be interesting even if it is close.
L'Ville kid leaving it all on the court
might see him again in OSM
They're letting the ACC down.
These refs are an absolute joke
And here come the pretzels....
Oh man, that foul they called on L'ville when it was just 2 guys jumping for a board was brutal and prob the death blow for them.
phantom calls in Providence
at the half
the Grizz kinda hanging tough
Bruce Pearl's wife seems nice
BODO BODO
Welp, I won't be winning a million dollars this year.
Boiler Up hoes
I didn't watch Gonzaga st Mary's game but that Purdue high point game was ****.
