Villanova upgraded and A&M hasn’t skipped a beat. Maryland in the middle missed the momentum train

Buzz left on his own right?? Seems like a very odd move. I mean Willard UPGRADED going to Nova.

Right after Gary Williams won his only national championship…. they really haven’t been good since

I think they were decent the year they beat us in the tourney….it hasn’t been THIS bad for over 20 years

Maryland was decent enough to win the whole nut in 2002, beat Indiana 64-52. Maryland was 27-9 last year and lost in the sweet 16 to the ultimate winner Florida. Maryland actually didn't make the dance the last 4 years in the ACC. They've bounced around between mediocre and OK but it sure seemed like they were better in the ACC

Maryland in the Big 10 makes about as much sense as Rutgers in the Big 10. Or Cal and Stanford in the SEC. I love the fact there are so many epic fails in this conference realignment crap. They are definitely one.
 
Watching Ill/Nebraska and there are 9 white guys on the court out of 10. No comment other than how often do you see that this day and age?? Nebraska looks very well coached.

Huskers shooting a Huskies-esque 8/15 from 3!

Edit: there's another, make that 9/16

I don't know the numbers or all the reasons why but there's a lot more great white players across hoops than there was when I was younger. We certainly see it right at UConn.

Was he talking about 2021 when UConn was the 7 seed and Maryland was the 10 seed and beat us in the first round? That game was so frustrating. The Terps were only 16-13 that season so I don't remember how they made the NCAA Tournament.

Illinois v Nebraska- 2 very talented teams.
Great watch

Illinois looks really good. Wagler plays with such calm and intention. Nebraska 39 of 47 points from 3. Anyone with a rim protector should be able to smother them.

I love this Illini team.

They are fun - they play so relaxed, pass well. I think we went Illinois to win this one to move Nebraska off the 1 line. It will be hard to bump Illinois over us given the head to head.

Yes that’s what I was talking about. They were good enough to make the tourney and then beat us the guy said they have sucked since they won it all in 2002, that was a bit of hyperbole.

That was the first example I could think of without doing any research

That Jokic pass Ivisic just made was ridiculous.
 
Also, 17 total team fouls with under 8 to go in the game. That's the total for a half in Big East games, and there has been a lot of contact in this game. Honestly, this is how a game should be officiated. Big East really needs to work on their product so it's not a parade of fouls.

Also Nebraska is not a very good defensive team. They win with 3 point shooting and good ball movement. When the shots aren't falling, they are very vulnerable as they have no real inside game.
 
Top 3 of the draft is pretty much set in stone barring something crazy, but after that Wagler will be knocking on the door of that next group of 5. Will be interesting to see how Underwood delegates lead guard duties between him and Boswell once Boswell returns. Their offense is humming with Wagler at the controls.

That's what I was wondering about with Boswell. They were really good with him running point but they've looked like the best team in the country with Wagler running point.

The tip in the middle to the open shooter? Was unreal.

And they don’t even have their PG. It’s making me wonder if they are better with Wagler at the point. They stepped in S with that kid. He’s not the horsepower of DP, but plays way more of a team style.

Wagler may turn out better than them.
