    OT: John Calipari to return as Kentucky men's basketball coach

    He's likely lost it, but the idea he could never coach is a huge overreaction. Those UMass teams were legit, much as I hated them

    Coaching Carousel and Rumors

    That's ... underwhelming

    OT: Syracuse

    Or literally anyone else. It's an argument with no merit

    NBA not enthralled with Zach Edney

    He "jacks up threes" so that is bad, even though he's tall, which is good. So confusing.

    NBA not enthralled with Zach Edney

    If only an NBA team had access to your unique wisdom.

    Flying When UConn is playing in Tournament

    He posted because it's a message board about UConn basketball, and this was his most recent experience as a fan.

    Karaban's 3P Shooting

    He didn't forget how to shoot. Every shooter in history is streaky. He'll be fine

    Flying When UConn is playing in Tournament

    I was in the air in 2014 in the second round. No internet, no nothing. I landed to find not only had we beaten Villanova, but Syracuse was out. Not too bad

    Damned if you

    Favored and inevitable are not the same thing. And no one writes off a championship as expected. People are so weird

    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - Sweet 16

    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - Sweet 16

    Really incredible in retrospect that zero 1 seeds made the Elite Eight last year. Fewer upsets definitely makes for better second-weekend games. Not sure what to make of Houston-Duke. Could make a strong case either way.

    "We're bulletproof"

    Must be nice to be able to see the future

    "We're bulletproof"

    I'm sure San Diego State, of all teams, needed extra motivation for this game. We may or may not win, but this comment will have nothing to do with it either way.

    That's a weird shot at a former UConn team for no reason that I can see

    OT: Syracuse

    From 25-0 to 28-6, with one total postseason win -- that's what being a champion is all about

    UConn and the Transfer Portal

    Have you looked at current NBA stars? Because there's a whole team worth of guys who played at Kentucky. Knock them all you want for their college performance, but their hit rate in the NBA is high.

    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

    With Duquesne finally making a tourney run, who's next in the A-10? Most teams in there at least have something in the recent past. Maybe it's Fordham's turn?

    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

    Would've been glad to see Izzo lose, but I can't ever root for Miss. St. Someday we need to play them in the tournament and win by 40

    Dan Hurley’s first time meeting Christian Laettner

    He was a great college player. He may or may not be a good guy. But come on, he was unbelievably hatable. Did you watch the 30 for 30? Bobby Hurley couldn't stand him.

    mad dog goes off

    Arguing about individual bubble teams is pretty useless because they all have flaws and they all have pros and cons. Saying "just win more" is dumb. There will always be close calls. What people are mad about is the ample evidence that the committee phoned it in.

    BBALL INDEX Metrics on UConn

    Thousands of players in D1. Having one of the most impactful players in the nation is so impressive. Having four of them is honestly insane.

    ESPN Poll: 20 of 25 Coaches Pick UConn

    Trying to remember the last time I saw this many people picking one team. Maybe Duke 99? Florida 07? Not much else comes to mind. Also not sure how I feel about it. The tournament is so hard, even for the best teams.

    Kansas Played The Committee - McCullar is OUT For The Tourney

    We can say that Kansas should have been in our region as the weakest 4 seed, but in reality the brackets were made a week and a half ago with only a few tweaks here and there. Even if this information had been out they wouldn't have done anything. The selection committee needs to be completely...

    Happy Rip Day

    I love every part of this and will watch it whenever I see it. Struck by two things: 1. Odd choice to run a set play for Jake in that situation. 2. During the mad scramble with the tips and the reaches and the craziness, there are four Huskies in the mix. Jake, on the other hand, is hanging out...

    2023-24 Preseason Rankings

    Duke has some issues, but there's no doubt they belong in the tournament and they don't have 14 losses. Only one preseason top 5 team has that.

    Why The Selection Committee is a Joke

    Alternatively, the committee could take their job remotely seriously. We're a long way from "do a better job."

    Where is our commissioner?

    No argument there. The one place I do drift into conspiracy land is when the SEC and Big 10 get every break, and the Big East end up on the wrong end of every 50-50 call. There's arguments on all bubble teams, but our conference got shut out. It sure feels like a football thing.

    Where is our commissioner?

    It's fine to think both that there were poor decisions made by the committee and that it doesn't matter all that much. You can't win a title without beating tough teams. What is galling is that people on here, like the fans of dozens of other teams, take this seriously, and the people who have...

    Where is our commissioner?

    That was maybe the best nonconference win any team had all year. They also had some terrible losses. They're a total toss-up. What seems clear is that they were slotted into an 8-9 game like a week ago and never moved off it, when they should by rights have been a First Four type team. Same with...

    BE, B10, SEC, and B12 tourney champs

    Right, and has been pointed out numerous times, they reverse justify whatever decision they made based on whatever is convenient. There's no way to know what the real story is, but anyone paying attention the past few weeks had Iowa State above Arizona. It's just that the committee was not among...

    BE, B10, SEC, and B12 tourney champs

    There should be no reason Arizona couldn't have been shipped east to be our 2 seed. We have been sent west so many times over the years (with great success), yet Arizona gets the benefit of staying west for what reason, exactly? Still not as bad as Michigan State being in, period.

    Week of 3/11/24 Games (Conference Tournaments)

    UNC looking like it has the inside track on that last 1 seed. Iowa State maybe our likeliest 2? Given the number of times we've been shipped west over the years you wouldn't think it'd be weird to have Arizona in the east as a 2, but few of the mock brackets show that.

    Week of 3/11/24 Games (Conference Tournaments)

    Purdue can lose later. Let MSU lose and then watch the justification for giving a 14-loss team a 8-9 seed.
