February General CBB Discussion Thread

We add nothing to the B12, unless Yormark was that enamored with NYC. I doubt a league that spans as far west at AZ cares about NYC. It's ACC or bust.

ACC us please. Always been my preference over having to travel two time zones for most of our games.

Well, when you're going to grab the LA market with a classic FB program, I kinda get it.

They added Rutgers for the NYC market

Well, it's also a continuous to their floorplan - Penn St, and done for FB. You think B12 gonna stretch out their floorplan for hoops?

Michigan down 9 at the half to 10-14 Northwestern. We’re not the only Top 10 team with a case of the blah’s

 

[blkknight1]

Northwestern is not afraid of Michigan they are taking it to them.

half the top 10 lost this week.

This is why I am not convinced that AZ or MI or anyone in the Top 10 is all that much better than the others. As teams get further into conference play, they all get challenged more and more as they get scouted better, just like we do in the BE.

Want to see the worst P5 crowd ever for a conference game? Check out Stanford at BC on ESPNU. 2 crappy teams for a 9:00 game on a campus that couldn't give 2 poops about their men's basketball team. I don't think there are 1000 people there. Probably closer to 500.

 

[Inyatkin]

Just saw this Michigan score. What in the world

 

[superjohn]

I'm sure they'll win but how the hell is Michigan down like this to Northwestern? Illinois beat Northwestern by by like 509 points.

 

[Waquoit]

How awful is that Georgia court? It looks like half the lights are out.

 

[Marat]

Nw up 16 now

NYC is the biggest commercial market in the country and one of the biggest in the world. There are a lot advertising opportunities. Brett Yormark has said he has thought about giving conference naming rights to a company such as AllState Big 12.

For the numerous people here who melt down when UConn is down 4 early on in the first half against a bad team: Michigan is currently down 16 in the second half to a 10-14 squad

I focus on the way UConn is playing not on scores of other games. So because Michigan is playing poorly we should not pay attention to what we need to continue to work on

Just took a look. It has to be intentional that the camera angle only shows the first four rows in the stands.

This is a thread about other teams lol

I love when people talk as if their fandom is key to the team’s success. It’s ok to check the out of town scoreboard once in a while

So I shouldn't be concerned how UConn is playing because another team, Michigan, is playing poorly. That's basically what he said and that's nonsense

Must be awesome for the fans of the Frisco schools. Imagine Cal flying into Canada University - syracuse to play in an empty football arena with a double OT kicker. Cal plays at bcu on Valentines Day. I assume they fly home and back out here again. Good times!!!

edit: bc interruption didn't even do a game preview or game thread. I think bcu is giving men's basketball the Milton treatment, they fixed, the glitch

Michigan on a 16-2 run. Down 2 with 9:26 left. They've looked dominant last five minutes.

This Nick Martinelli kid on NW is fun. Has a bit of Cam Spencer in him.

[Mr. French]

Michigan now up 11. So much for that upset

LMFAO. After reading your comment I had to flip the channel there and see for myself. It's a far cry from 1997 when I went there for the UConn game and generally speaking the 90s.
I wouldn't go to Conte Forum for that game if someone paid me 50 dollars and free transportation. And I don't live that far from Chestnut Hill.
