February General CBB Discussion Thread

[nelsonmuntz]

Why would a 73 year old coach with Pitino’s payroll bother with 4 star high school players?

 

[RuffRuff]

Rob Wright screwed him over. I can’t see how he wasn’t tampered with given that he had signed a contract to come back.

I think he’s a really good, positive coach - kind of like Shaka in that respect - and, like Shaka, is having a hard time navigating the shifting coastline.

And to an inter conference rival to boot. Smells bad.

 

[Kolumbo]

defuq. enough already. why does the basketball hardwood have to be turned into some cheesy minor league light show routine. save it for slamball

 

[RuffRuff]

Very interesting - here we see how FB drives the bus.

 

[Hamms30]

feels like there are going to be some bad injuries from slipping on wet spots

I'm pretty sure most power conference football schools are losing money on football.

 

[HooperScooper]

Very interesting - here we see how FB drives the bus.

And this is exactly why football gets the lion's share of the revenue sharing at this big schools.

I wish yormark were our commish. The polar opposite of the festering old bag asleep at the BE wheel. Starting to worry the BIG12 won’t even need us to boost their bball profile with how good they’ve gotten. ACC maybe.

Val is awful but so are these courts.

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.

I wonder what the non-program specifics are?

When do you think the court will rule on revenue sharing in relationship to Title IX?

The B1G would disagree.

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

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

They added Rutgers for the NYC market

 

[RuffRuff]

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.

 

[uconn_jack]

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.

 

[HooperScooper]

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

 

[gsmooth]

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.

 

[Kemba15]

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.
