***2023 NCAA Tournament Thread***

[HiawathaHawk]

Dutcher hadn’t won a tournament game in his previous 5 years.

Does SDS have more NIL than Iowa?

Iowa isn’t in SDSU’s league in the 2000s at least.

 

[KitKatApples]

It’s the fact that anyone can pay now. Not just a small handful of schools the NCAA looks the other way on

 

[Alan Lomax]

I think that’s jumping the gun. Most of these games are being won by the team with less money.

I’m probably being biased because I was of the mind the blue bloods would immediately get bluer. It’s more a surprise at such a weird tournament, but you’re right, totally jumping the gun saying nil.

For Miami yes. FAU, SDSU, Princeton, etc. have nothing to do with NIL. All year everyone knew that there weren’t many elite teams or separation.

The extra covid year is a bigger factor in my opinion. Lot of old guys and super seniors on these successful teams.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

I don’t like that the title game is going to have FAU, Kansas State, SDSU, Creighton or Princeton.

 

[TurdBurgler]

I think the covid year and automatic transfers are way more impactful than NIL. Been a strange year for sure. UNC was #1 preseason and didn't even make the tournament.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Miami scoring 90+ on Houston is crazy. They rattled them.

Back to back E8’s for Miami. Both years their defense was 125+ going into the tournament. Great, expensive guards though.

It thins the talent a little more for the elite programs. It’s part of the reason no one is dominating. Totally agree on the extra Covid year

Traitor Jack is 1-8 so far

it’s weird to see people complain about the repetition of the CFP and then complain about new teams in the basketball E8

 

[BillyBob]

Benedict Nunge having a rough game

Yeah that’s valid.

55 for Creighton looks ridiculous. Black shoes. White socks. Spandex shorts that are longer than his uniform shorts. T shirt under the jersey with a full arm shooting sleeve. Tops it off with a head band.

 

[Stu Beagle]

New teams is fine but I just don’t like or hate any of these teams so it’s just kinda meh

 

[HiawathaHawk]

He was the stud for South Dakota State the last couple years. Looks like a goof but he’s a player.

Traitor Jack airballed from the post.

We could be so lucky to watch Connor score 0 points in the sweet 16

These 25 yo grown ass men still playing college bball are no better than lia thomas

It’s like when you create a player on a video game

I would hate to be a Kstate fan and having to buy that Easter purple gear

 

[CamelTones]

I would rather be a K State fan and buy purple clothes than be an Iowa State fan and be an Iowa State fan.

I like how it can actually look dressed up. There are some nice Iowa things, but I don’t like most for anything approaching business casual. I can imagine that purple is easier to work with in that regard for when you want to represent your team and look sharp.

Do you sell automotive insurance Alan?

What’s it gonna take to get you into this policy, Mr. Tones, a sharp guy like you know deals like this don’t come around every day.

 

[FLhawk]

yes purple is sooo much better and more business like than black.

Russian dude is like "if he dies. He dieS"

 

[CamelTones]

FAU plays fast AND plays defense. Weird concept. I bet they’re exhausted.

 

[CamelTones]

The only white that’s played the last 12 minutes is a giant Russian.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Kansas State is one of the luckiest chucking teams I've ever seen.

Slop 3 going in for KSU coming up.

 

[gable_guy]

PG way too nonchalant that last possession.

Probably all the brother cutaway shots

 

[ISUFan98]

Shoot the damn ball.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

I'm starting to think FAU may have been underseeded. 31-3

 

[BillyBob]

Weird that hero ball guy didn’t want to hero ball there

 

[kmurp]

That PG for KSU is fun to watch.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Reaffirming the old adage that if you're going to have white dudes on the court be certain they are giant Slavs.

He crumpled, wtf.

Or the previous possession when he had a wide open 3 to tie it and opted for the pass for a layup.

 

[maintain242001]

San Diego State/Creighton vs Florida Atlantic for a championship bid trip and Iowa cant not trip on its dick and make a sweet 16 trip
