College Basketball 2024-25 Season Thread

@Chuckleslovakian I picked you in my final four. What are you doing?

Same. Lol me, LOL KENTUCKY

Oakland coach looks like they bought Cal off of Wish.

So I went to go see The Batman two years ago after St. Peters. Guess it is time to go watch Dune 2 tomorrow.

Calipari has to be on the hot seat right?

Oh it is scorching. Iā€™m done after that game. When youā€™ve lost me, youā€™ve lost a ton of the fanbase

His buyout is one half Jimbos ($35M) and the AD who hired and extended him is just as clueless as he is. There are a limited number of boosters who kind of call the shots but not sure they have that kind of cheese to burn. And thereā€™s also the problem that you kind of need to also shitcan this AD who was just extended.

They have the cheese to burn

This coal billionaire dick has his name on the practice center. The question if he wants to burn it. Cal has built a relationship with him

Yeah but strangely these billionaires never seem to have the cash to cough up when itā€™s not for something that directly financially benefits them. One dumbass billionaire running things is the deserved and hilarious outcome here.

Calipari seems like he should thrive in the NIL era where guys want $$$ and are often only at a school for a year. He just needs to start landing some top portal guys.

Kentucky should have been guarding him the first 32 minutes like they did the last 8. He couldnā€™t get open. Major fuck up.

Please just give me one tourney win, Cougs.

Myles Rice scoring early is a good sign. Dude has been historically slumping.

Harris is amazing especially considering he barely feels like heā€™s a threat to shoot at any time

Now that you have won a tourney game, I can say thanks for Quincy Guerrier. He had a streak of like 6 games with double-doubles when we really needed them.

Our leading scorer this year was a portal guyā€¦

He knows absolutely nothing about modern basketball though. People are acting like he suddenly got worse at coaching for [some magical reason]. Thatā€™s similar to thinking the reason the Howard Lederers of the world started losing at poker around 2005 was due to mysterious personal decline and not the fact that there was an analytical revolution in the game with a corresponding influx of highly-skilled players.

He at the very least used to start his best players

Since I watched my first Duck game they are 10-3 in the first round.

8-0 under Altman

I heard them talking about how none of their players had experience and made an assumpion. Havenā€™t watched a single game this year period. My bad.
