College Basketball 2024-25 Season Thread

Think the Midwest is probably 35% Tennessee and Purdue, 20% Creighton and 10% other.

Why? It was when it was Grand Canyon College but Iā€™ve been on campus. Seemed real enough. Since then there was some shady nonprofit/for-profit back and forth and other stuff but that just made it more concrete to me.

The only time Iā€™d ever heard of it has been on commercials talking about online learning. It would be like University of Phoenix was in the NCAA tournament. But for all I know they are B&M as well.

University of Phoenx is or at least was definitely B&M. Shady af but real.

Univ of Phoenix might be the only Cinderella team Iā€™d root against.

They definitely have B&M classes.

Liberty University says hello.

@Chuckleslovakian

Give me your top five list you call first for the job in order.

Yeah, them too I suppose. Probably Bob Jones if they have a team. Might be a few others.

I probably should have rooted against Oral Roberts, but I just couldnā€™t quit the Blow Job Bobs.

He kind of did that in the other place.

T1 - Donovan/Stevens/Wright
4 - Drew

Mostly agree but wouldnā€™t have those options tied. I think itā€™s 1. Stevens by an enormous margin then 2. Donovan. Two guys that destroyed CBB and have a lot of recent NBA experience which is light years ahead of CBB. Stevens is only 47 and maybe the greatest mind in basketball. Seems like a big drop off after them, but I wonder if KY is smart enough to even call those two guys first in that order and potentially offer to double their current salaries.

Iā€™m sure heā€™ll show up, but theyā€™re only in the same tier because they are all expected to say ā€œThanks, but no thanksā€. Drew is the best one he thinks they actually have a shot at.

I guess the point Iā€™m making is that I also had Stevens and Donovan as the obvious top options, but I donā€™t believe Kentuckyā€™s AD is smart enough to call them first because he seems like a terrible talent evaluator. Itā€™s the same guy who hired Billy Gillispie. Imagine what a disaster it would be if he hired some similar bullshit coach sunrunning a mid major or whatever.

Billie Gillispie seems horrible in hindsight, but I remember at the time thinking it was a nice hire. I am a lolcasualfan, though.

LSUā€™s MAGA dipshit coach is about to get rekt in the Washington post

Well nobody at TNT thinks Wazzu has a snowballā€™s chance in hell, so.

Quite the hostile crowd this time. Expected, but still. Solid start.

Gonna be a good one.

We need to shoot better and clamp down on Wells.

Sadly 20% vs 50% from three is too big a gap

Alright, good season.

Bracing for the offseason bloodbath. If we can fade the poaching of Kyle Smith, maybe we could be good again next year. Feels like weā€™re a dog to fade that though. Word on him is out.
