College basketball

Gimme this one night. Lifelong illini fan and alumni. I know we’re not gonna win it, but just let me have this one night. Fuck yeah!

…and this is not a ewing theory situation with illinois either, they are better with Ayo, period. But yeah Curbelo’s game is hilarious—I’m a big fan of his. Neutrals shouldn’t read too much into today’s score, Michigan’s bigs just had one of those days and it snowballed. Man it’s an obvious thing to say but college basketball was so much more awesome when stars stayed three years.

I’ve heard it as “off the reservation”, which I’m sure is equally offense to Native Americans. Never as “off the plantation” though.

I don’t really care which thread survives, but probably don’t need two of these:

Big time oof from Michigan tonight. Illinois pressures the ball because Kofi is so good at maintaining position around the rim and Michigan couldn’t get any open looks because of it, missed a few and it just got away from them.

For those sick of Your Alabama Crimson Tide…maybe a #1 seed lol

Sadly, I think we need to cancel March Madness. Just for the safety of everyone involved. Records of every team this year should be purged from the records, after all you don’t know what they would have done in a noncovid year. Just best for all collegiate athletes.

Except Duke’s. Let that stand in all its shitty glory.

As someone who has $300 on Michigan to win the Big Ten Tournament at +2500 and $500 on Alabama at +2000 to win the SEC Tournament… Conference Tournaments better happen. Preferably a 4-team tournament at the home court of the regular season champion.

i lived in Chapel Hill for a year when we first moved to the states. Seeing people staying all night in line to get in… a bar to watch the game vs duke was probably the dumbest thing i’ve ever seen and i bought a $1000 package of virtual nba cards.

they also burn couches after they beat duke because why not.

Kansas out of the AP top 25 for the first time since 2009, ending the longest streak in history.

Apparently it’s been 60 years since Kansas/Kentucky/UCLA/Duke/UNC were all unranked in the same week.

Can we get Duke vs Kentucky in the CBI?

That’s assuming Kentucky makes the CBI

(yes I know CBI would snap offer Kentucky a spot in the CBI, don’t let that get in the way of me making a joke)

Top 13 in all time wins are unranked

in stats that may only interest me, 6-4 is leading a 10 team college basketball division right now I bring you the northeast conference

3 6-4 teams, a 7-5, 5-4, 6-5, 4-4, 4-6, 4-7, 4-9

completely ridiculous

Michigan comes out of lockdown, holds Wisconsin to 20 2nd half points, and picks up a huge road win. Still one conference loss, it’ll be interesting to see if make up games get added to the schedule coming up given they lost 5 games due to COVID shutdown.
