Saturday/Sunday NCAA game thread
- Thread starter Halldan
- Start date
If Kansas was wearing Seton Hall jerseys they'd have fouled the whole team out by now. As is, they've been called for 2 in the second half. Must be nice being part of the favored class.
As much as they are a rival, they seem like a good group of guys to root for.
Heckuva game by Hopkins with 6 3’s. I’m sure Providence fans are thrilled for him.
If they are a BE team, I am rooting for them
That Darling kid has flaws and apparently was like 0 for a million from the outside, but he is tough minded and has got gigantic onions.
Ha. I was thinking same thing. Don’t care for big ten but got to give them credit so far.
What a great performance by Ben McCollum in year 1 at Iowa to get Iowa to a Sweet 16 and knock off the defending champs, who have probably the best front court in the country and loads of talent elsewhere. I thought Iowa might stick around because of how good the PG is as an all around player, but never did I see them knocking off the Gators. Tremendous game of back and forth, runs, and unbelievable ending.
Wanted Iowa, but honestly as an asian dude feel for Xavian Lee and feel he will be a scapegoat, but he was still a D1 athlete for three years at Princeton and got recruited by the defending champs. Didn't look that impressive to me, but for me he is more of a backup player for a top team than a starter.
But Iowa is the team I want as the big upset if Arizona hopefully holds on against Utah state. Love the Cornhuskers and Iowa matchup.
I am feeling Nebraska right now. I love how their fanbase has traveled and seem they want to build a passionate basketball fanbase. Also have liked Iowa's basketball teams over the years. IDK Nebraska and Iowa just remind me of those 2014 and 2015 Wisconsin teams.
IDK these Big 10 teams full of mostly white guys just seem to play fun basketball to me lol. I think Nebraska and Iowa will be fun for sure.

Clark Kellog and Charles Barkley are killing Florida for that defense. Calling it giving Iowa an NBA fast break escort.
Bill Self has not gotten to 2nd weekend for 4 years now. Last time he did win a title. Todd Golden typically has not been a good tournament coach outside of last season winning the title. He does not get past 1st weekend. Kentucky has not been to Elite 8 since 2019.
Candidly, I did not appreciate the extent by which Golden is apparently disliked by many in the coaching community because of his "mouth" and "antics". Supposedly this is a thing, and him and the Iowa coach were going at it last night (and I don't think the Iowa coach goes at it with anyone, just like Golden apparently was going at it all year with Mark Pope, who also doesn't seem like that type).
