****Official 2021 College Basketball Thread****
 

It's back and I know everyone is oh so excited!!

This is the place to post about random games should you be so inclined. I know we've got respective threads for all of the teams that matter to most of us, feel free to talk about them in here if you like as well.

We've got a heavyweight match with Ohio v. Kentucky on right now, get amped folks!!!

It’s 8 minutes into the first half.

I get you’re trying to troll, but do better.

I posted that like 15 minutes ago when the game had just started. Didn't know Ohio would get on top of the cats so quickly honestly.

There is a decent slate of games on tonight this just happens to be the one I'm watching now.

Ohio’s an above average team that probably will make the tournament.

Oscar is in foul trouble-they should still win.

I knew nothing about them coming in but they are playing very sound basketball. They're a MAC team I think?

Correct.

And they shoot 3s.

Well that was an entertaining half.

They're blowing it open now. You fought well Ohio.

Iowa State already has one more win than they had all of last year.

We made you guys take Tristan Enaruna. hahaha

suckers

Baylor beat Mich State down. We got Zaga/Puke later tonight. Nice to have a day of college basketball and football, very fun stuff!!

Pretty decent sports weekend despite the NFL's shit schedule yesterday.

Jayhawks in 10 minutes, Rangers/Bruins and some good hockey, a little CFB.

Yep, very good shit all around.

A little disappointed that I can't watch the ESP****ingN Events Invitational on ESPN+.

whoa

Nebraska's lead recruiter took a leave of absence last week. Theres now reports a big scandal involving Nwbrasketball will be coming out tomorow

lew I know you're watching Sparty. I don't know shit about BIG basketball this year, but Mich State is making a game of it the last few minutes, were down 16 when I flipped it on.

Holy shit Nebraska

They hadn't won a game vs a ranked team in 3 years.

Now they've done it twice in a week.

Without their best player too. Hoiberg had 1 road win his whole career at Nebraska. Now has 3 in a row shits weird

Andy Reid at the Butler-Villanova game.

The NCAA basketball product has kind of went to shit. I watched some basketball over the weekend and the offensive talent is pretty bad. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been watching more NBA this season or what, but the Texas-KU game may have been some of the worst basketball I’ve seen since watching my little nephew play his first basketball game with the other 1st graders. They just dribble around and pass for 20-30 seconds and then force up some shot that they’re obviously not talented enough to make. The final minute of an NBA game can have 3-4 back and forth lead changes because the offensive talent is insane. I watched the last 4 minutes of a game and there were 4 free throws to get it into OT. The game has become a joke with the talent deciding to go overseas for their 1 year out of high school before the draft now.

I’m sure March Madness will still be fun, but not from a complete talent perspective. The main KU guy had 1 basket the other night and he’s a potential “lottery pick” There’s a reason it’s taking some of these college players some extra time in the G league to prepare for the NBA nowadays. The NCAA isn’t preparing them for top competition at all anymore.

Baylor pulls ahead at half. Michigan state is raping.

It’s March bitch!!

Let's go dumples

:facepalm:

I don't entirely blame him for thinking this. He had just watched a Chris Beard team play "basketball."

Welp, that could do it. :doh!:

Virginia with 13 points at halftime versus UNC.

Iowa is better this year without Garza than they were last year with him.

The Murray brothers ain't nothing to **** wit.

Fran cracks me up though. He plays his shitty kids over the other Murray (Kris) for no reason at all. If you doubled Kris Murrays numbers they are very close to Keegan Murray...and the Murrays can actually defend and block shots.

Fran will be Fran though. Terrible defensive mind who plays way to many guys and doesn't play his top players all of the minutes.

After playing the best game they've played all year yesterday, Iowa will flop today. Count on it.

Fran is gonna Fran again.

Auburn getting worked but lots of time left

Ah snow day.

Welp back to the couch and some hoops.

Cheers you deplorable bastards!

sad that we know that can happen

I really don't see any other option at this point

ATM and auburn.

This one is getting intense

Bye auburn

I know Jabari is the main draw to watch Auburn, but their big man Walker Kessler averages like 4.5 blocks per game. After transferring from UNC last year. Roy Williams really does not understand defensive talent.

Woah. That’s worse than Iowa States performance.

Nice. I can’t believe ATM pulled it off.

I guess similar to OU knocking off Baylor.

Welcome to the land of pressure and expectations, n00bs.

Double T's in Iowa and another T on the Rutgers bench? Now Thuggy bear can rest a little easier.

MORE TECHNICALS. And some bitch white boy is done for the day.

Iowa is looking Salty. They might be as good as Kansas. Get Perkins & Kris Murray more usage and Patrick and Conner McCaffrey less.

Annnnd. Technical #6 and ejection #2 going to Rutgers Strength coach ROFL

Rutgers is shit though. Teahan is probably as good as that douche headband white kid.

LMFAO ROFLROFL

Winning with a T is a hell of a lot better than Lute giving the refs the choke sign and losing to Wichita state.

Yeah, cant let it go.

What game ended in a T?

I know women's CBB can be uncompetitive, but wouldn't think a shutout in a quarter is very common...

Whoa, thought that was an Iowa State men's score for a second. Impressive.

oof

Oklahoma got screwed on that foul call. Obvious clean block.

Total dogshit call. Maybe kharma on the bricked 1 and 1.

Oh wow. That sucks. OU played well enough to win. Hopefully hey get in.

Texas AM vs Arkansas is a pretty entertaining game for no points being scored

Mans game

Yeah I had that one on and enjoyed it. Didn't want to watch the Big 10 snoozefest, but it's nice to see Indiana up at half. Looks like that may have been the one I should have tuned into all along.

Bye bye cawkeyes

Maybe a little premature on my part. Just wishful thinking and all

****ing Iowa man

Holy shit that was awesome. What an entertaining end to the game

Right. So ****ing gringo has ice in his veins to even pull up on that. Acknowledged.

BUT

1. What a ****ing garbage play. They ****ing stood around FOR THAT? How embarrassing.

2. I've been witness to some pretty heartbreaking defeats on bullshit shots. But a 40 year old scrawny shortpants white bitch BANKING that of all shots in has to be one of the worst ways to lose.

You were saying....

I love Iowa. I just cant watch Iowa bball anymore. Steve Alford ended that habit for me. Then Todd buried the need.

How about a 6 win Coppin State playing for their conference anti bid tonight?

Sad. Regular season conference tournament winner should get autobid, not the cute little conference tournament winner.

22 points in the first half for kentucky. Oof

0-8 from 3

They’re making the last couple minutes interesting

Tennessee got fuuuuuuuuuuuucked. That’s a defensive foul 100% of the time.

Big blue bailout.

No surprise

Tenn pulled it out. It would suck to lose a tight game with that call under 1:00

Yeah that was a basketball move.

That SEC championship was tough. Those teams are good. If the effort is there they’re a tough out.

Be nice to watch VT Hokies take out the Puke Blue Devils

Absolute poster to put a nail in Duke’s coffin

Hell of a game. Puke was never in it.

I hope they keep playing kazoo's last game shit because they lose those.

I'd love to see, "Kazoo's LAST FIRST ROUND GAME" and get smoked in it too.

In other news, I'd managed to forget about UCLA's Campbell and his disgusting mangy mop.

Feels like he and Juzang and Jaquez Jr having been playing together at UCLA for like the past ten seasons. Hope the Cats can get it done down the stretch tonight.

Hokies!!!
