**2026 NCAA Tournament Thread**

I agree but also it’s nice to feel like you finally have a coach who embraces the style it takes to be successful there.

I feel like there just may be a happy medium in there somewhere.

Big ten winning all the titles

Agree. That was hard to watch at times.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

I feel a little dirty rooting for Michigan.

Prefer Michigan to Michigan State, Illinois and even tOSU.

Easier to root for Dusty Mays Michigan than it was for Juwan Howard’s Michigan.

Big ten winning all the titles

Two teams in the Frozen Four too

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

It's hard to call the game when the offense initiates almost as much contact as the defense does.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Uhhh not so much that, as once the Douche gets to pay people like everyone else.

That’s what I’m saying. Getting paid is what matters, and the douche has the cash

I agree but start somewhere. Whether it’s the bullshit all you gotta do is get your chest in front charging call to raking across the arms on rebounds. Start somewhere.

Could solve a lot by calling a lot more reach ins. More often than not, they're fouls. At one point I thought I was watching a high school girls game with all the jump balls.

 

[Wanderer]

Football. Women’s basketball. Men’s basketball.

WEIRD what happens when everyone is playing by the same rules.

Wrestling too

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

More importantly, we have a coach that isn't going to wilt in these games and then complain about fouls after.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Still might be too early to spike the football.

 

[BillyBob]

The college style of play and college reffing is beyond gay, but unfortunately it’s not going to change anytime soon and coaches have to embrace thugball if they want to be successful.

I wish Fran’s vision could have been realized but unfortunately thugball is the way.

 

[douglasbader]

One Shining Moment got me, boyz.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Fran’s vision was resting on defense so you have energy for offense.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

One Shining Moment got me, boyz.

Been way too long since I gave a shit about it. It was solid as always - nice to finally give a fuck about hoops again.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Did you not have that choice before?

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Iowa was just one decent shooting stretch(and a rim protector) away from a Final Four. And even then, only down 4 with 2:00 to play. Hopefully the portal gods are kind to us.

 

[brantshawks]

Like Fran, a couple of subpar seasons and Hurleys antics go from intense and ultra competitive to 'Get this fucking psycho away from our team's for UConn.

 

[The Dad]

Well I think multiple national championships basically makes him above the law in every possible way.

Two more good players and man we had it!

I wouldn’t call Michigan thug ball.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I like Hurley. It’s hard not to respect someone that is that passionate about their job and equally successful.

Hurley is an arrogant pos without question but UCONN isn’t going anywhere as long as he’s there. Will win more titles

Tough news for all Hurley supporters. The retarded one just about guaranteed the descent of UConn hoops.

lots of highly successful people are arrogant. Plus he’s an east coast guy and they always seem more arrogant to midwestern types. I would say he’s more emotional than arrogant.

He's either on lots of meth or lots of coke. My money is on meth.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

East coast professionals do a lot more coke than Midwest professionals who just consume Busch and zyn.

 

[newsbreaker]

Hurley would NOT be popular on a Waukee cul-de-sac.

No, we do a shitload of coke

Hey retard, is the big ten still dead?

 

[Shawneemicks]

Hey retard, is the big ten still dead?

I think I got that one wrong

 

[Shawneemicks]

The great ones swing and miss occasionally. I’ll be better for it

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Narrator: “He won’t.”

 

[Revolver]

Big Ten has champions in football, men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling, has two teams in the Frozen Four for Hockey. The #1 team in college baseball.

The best athletic conference there is without question.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

This means you are smarter than Nolook and Wade. I apologize.
