2024-25 NCAA Basketball Thread

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Games of the Day brought to you by the NY Post, News for Idiots:

Columbia International at Charleston Southern, Noon, ESPN+

I was just on the Charleston Southern campus.  I was at the company warehouse in Charleston (Hanahan) just before Christmas for inventory.  The nearest hotels are 5-10 minutes away and located across the street from CS campus.  I was walking around as students and parents were arriving for mid-year graduation.

I would like this post a million times if I could.

No one is sympathetic when people who are making millions, and often 70+ years old, complain about how much harder their job is. There are plenty who will take your place.

We are lucky to have a coach who has the ability to do it the old fashioned way with a little sprinkle of NIL money.  Hope he stays as long as it takes to get that NIL endowment funded to the point where future coaches will never have to worry about that aspect of the job.

Gonzaga UCLA is difficult to watch through 11 minutes.

Turned it on in time to a textbook clothesline tackle.

Maryland is 7 in the NET.  That road win continues to look good.

[Uncle Rico]

Maryland is 7 in the NET.  That road win continues to look good.

16th overall in KenPom and 8th in defensive efficiency.  League play will be a bloodbath as there isn't much separation.  11 teams in the KenPom top 40.  Terps have a chance.  To go both ways

[MuggsyB]

Not a foul on UCLA. 

[MuggsyB]

Karma. 

[Uncle Rico]

Karma. 

Nice win for the Big Ten and UCLA.  Will help Marquette's cause

How so?  Fk the B18. 

[Uncle Rico]

How so?  Fk the B18. 

We're 3-0 against them and every game the league wins helps our cause.

Fine.  But we must take care of business starting 12-31

[tower912]

Fine.  But we must take care of business starting 12-31

Because until now MU has been goofing around and not taking care of business?

[Uncle Rico]

I'd like to see Wisconsin, Maryland and Purdue all win 15+ games in the Big Ten to really help our cause

Well, maybe not UW

The time is now to elevate our play.  This 10 game break is perfect for us.  Attack and take no prisoners.  MU is very capable of making a deep run and we must usurp this opportunity. 

[MuggsyB]

Heck of a win for Utah St.

0-10. Need to turn that around.

[Shaka Shart]

Worried about that long trip to Riverdale and what that'll do for their shooting for our future conference brothers.

Correct.

[Uncle Rico]
