March General CBB Discussion Thread

Chuck said:
From what I've read, Alabama is one of the few states that still thinks weed is a bad drug. Not just that they haven't legalized, but they treat it seriously. If this wasn't a Bama athlete, a pound of weed and cash would be a serious issue because it's most likely intent to distribute. It was also a narcotics task force that did the investigation so I can't imagine that Holloway was just smoking all of the weed.

I'd be shocked, however, if anything comes of this until Bama is done in the tournament. Oats has shown zero interest in enforcing rules or even the spirit of rules. I'd be floored if Holloway even misses the first game.

Prepare to be floored. Holloway has been removed from the team. Appears we will not be seeing him play in the tournament.
 
Amazing if you can identify the little kid in the red jacket. a very unlikely outcome. this is somewhat basketball related given the name

Hard to believe. Not sure who is financial advisor is, but rare that anyone take 1/3 of the comp. There is either something highly flawed in UK's NIL structure, or this is bull.

He's been removed from campus. Which is standard procedure at every college I know with cases like this.

I'm shocked that the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force did this before the NCAA Tournament. No way they would have done this before the College Football Playoff.

Alabama's Aden Holloway is no longer with the team, as the university announced that the star guard has been "removed from campus" in the wake of his drug arrest.

I’m willing to bet the latter.

And then Pope took that money and gave it to one of the overrated guys he got. He's not a very good shopper.

Gave a boatload to a dude who had ACL surgery in late March and can't play, I questioned that decision on here in real time when it happened, that's a gamble.

You are talking about Jayden Quaintance, correct? Creighton has made that gamble the last 2 years with Pop Isaacs and Owen Freeman as both of them had surgeries in the summer. Paying $ to players coming off major surgeries is the ultimate gamble that can crash.

Yup, in this era of the NBA nobody is coming back that soon on an ACL, and when you consider college is like the pros these days and what he has at stake I just didn't see it happening this season.
 
BE final NETs were interesting and telling. SJU, UConn, Nova were the only three in the top 50. SHU hit at 53 and the other seven were 80-103.

Not horrible having the bottom only that low but that is way too many teams clustered after 75 in NET. No complete basement teams this year.

Need to do better OOC next year esp a team like SJU.

Proving once again that Alabama is not a “basketball school”!

As I said 3 months ago, St. John's's atrocious OOC performance would drag down the whole conference.

Plenty of opportunity for them and show CBB what you are now - they should take a Kansas in second round, play a Duke tough. That should be their goal. What they can't do is let a 12 seed play them tight or lose, or lose in round of 32.

He wasn’t leaving but I’ve never seen a coach at a blue blood whiff on so many players. He took Lamar Wilkerson to a derby and he immediately chose Indiana. Must be repelling players or something lol

Yeah, it seems like he weirds them out with his oddball style. I was wrong on him - thought he was going to be good, but clearly something isn't registering and he seems too soft to coach there. If they lose round 1, do wonder if Mitch sends him packing given the heat of the fanbase, especially with Cal showing them up, getting far more exciting players.
FightOnCT said:
We do too

I think he needs it more - we show consistently we can win OOC, roll back players.

Seton Hall wouldn’t have had a chance if St John’s did better OOC. 3 BE teams are in the tournament and Seton Hall was 0-7 against them. 6 of those were Q1 opportunities (home vs Nova was Q2)

Look at Villanova. They lost all their games against the top 2 but went 15-1 against the rest. So even though they got embarrassed in the first round of the BET, they still comfortably made it

Seton Hall was in decent position after January, but then lost to Creighton and DePaul in February and didn’t make a BET run to compensate

Didn’t get snubbed and weren’t a victim of circumstance. They only have themselves to blame
 
I just saw there’s a guy from High Point, Chase Johnston, who has made 64 threes this season and ZERO two point shots. That is a crazy stat. I guess it won’t be too tough for Wisconsin to game plan against him.
