This team ends up winning it all? Would be pretty neat imo.
We're now 2nd in Vegas Future Odds. We need someone to knock off Az and Gonzaga.

I'm bummed about TCU... they had UA on the ropes! And Baylor's huge comeback... I really thought they would pull it out in OT. Overall... pretty thrilled at the showing of the Big 12!
Miles got knocked down. Game over when Miles makes the free throws.

Most of the commenters on the boards way back when had little use for Charlie Moore when he was here, but I liked his spunk and have been following his career. Now going back to his hometown of Chicago as a hero for Miami, playing in the Sweet 16. Great kid, great story!
I was touting Charlie when he came here- guess I was 3 years too early.

Bruce Pearl got outcoached.
This is delicious...Wisky going down....Auburn going down. Clear the deck!
All the rock fights in the B12 seem to have prepared these teams for the tournament.
come on, Tech..
Big Ten= 9 bids / 1 S16 so far, with Purdew to go.
Clones going to advance....
Miss. St hires Chris Jans. Jans is a better coach than he is a human being ( Bowling Green incident), and is famously known for getting drunk with Mr. and Mrs. Marsha when he was on the Shlocker's staff. He is actually a very good basketball coach, and will probably do real well for the Bulldogs.
I doubt Silo Tech will be able to keep him long. He's the real deal.

I know I'm kind of rubbing it in, but it's like I can't help myself:
Looks like their title page needs updating:
Rupp Rafters - Basketball Forum
The place to be for discussion of the nation's all-time winningest basketball program and eight-time national champions.
LMAO. They're melting down over losing the all time wins.
@approxinfinity said in KSU Coach:
First impression is that is a helluva hire. Jerome Tang might be the brains of that operation.
On the very shortlist of top assistant coaches.
Brilliant hire, imo.

I heard Dick Vitale's bracket is holding up pretty well, especially his Final Four and title game picks, lol!

Remy was our best player today. The Braun 3 might've been the clutch shot of the day. The clutch defense play of the day was Big Dave's block.
win # 30.
Beautiful job! We always have one of these games in the tourney, and we held on and won...
let's finish them out. come on, guys...
phantom foul.
get yes out of there...
Remy is the star so far. We're so lucky to have him back...
REMY-GAME CHANGER!
Move Jalen to the 5, bring Remy in for Dave, and let's go 5 out.

Flagrant 2 on Manek.
We opened up as a 10 point favorite today. All the money is pouring in on us, so it was up to 12 an hour ago.https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-basketball/story/2022/03/19/creighton-bluejays-vs-kansas-jayhawks-picks-predictions-odds/ ↗
Baylor is getting hammered by UNC. Wow.
I know I'm kind of rubbing it in, but it's like I can't help myself:
The Clones coach looks like a middle school JV coach. He wears his clothes too tight- he needs to go up about 2 sizes.
Oh the agony of defeat:

@tis4tim said in NCAA Day 2 of The Greatest Tournament in Sports:
Ha ha. Texas shooting: 0-first tv timeout.
I torn who to root for. Do I root for UT to win so it makes the B12 better? Or do I say the hell with those conference jumpers? Hmmm...
Hugs will have lots of leeway, imo. I don't think the heat comes on until next year.
OMG Frank Martin looks terrible ...
I'm picking Yale to beat Purdew.
@benshawks08 said in Texas Southern Game Thread:
@Jethro the whole kenpom thing is usually based on stats at the end of the tournament and those numbers always move over a course of 6 straight wins over quality opponents.
I believe the 25/25 up to a point. I still contend the last year UCon won, they cooked the books to get the 25/25, but I guess we'll never know. The one thing I can say is it sure is nice going on KenPom and seeing the Kensucky Mildcats listed in white ( out of the tournament) !
So, what did we learn yesterday?
- The vaunted B1G lost 1/3 of their teams.
- The Mountain West went 0-4 ( Shocker!). That conference only had 4 teams.
- Tucky was pretty sucky. Delightful and refreshing!
- KU has a pretty damn good team.
Kenpom is liking our defense better. We're now 25th. One of the many wife tales out there is the old adage that a team can't win a national championship unless they're in the Kenpom Top 25 in offense and defense efficiency ( not true, but it sounds good), so we meet that threshold.
REMY

This is what the biggest transfer of this season was supposed to look like.
Yeah he's making up for lost time quick
He's always had this ability. He was just waiting for the spotlight to come on.
Vernon is in a dark place about right now.
I guess we have a "happening" going on here. It's called the REMY BREAKOUT
