Running 2011-12 College Basketball thread

Hey, Ohio Valley Conference- This is the most attention paid to your conference championship game in a good while, and you're playing it in a Municipal Auditorium that looks like they should've shut the place down decades ago. Well done.

(Would it hurt to get rid of the random construction boards and shit in each corner?

 

When did they move the OVC Tournament from the Sommet Center/Bridgestone Arena/whatever it's named now?

 

The SEC Women's Tournament is in Bridgestone Arena this year, for whatever it's worth.

 

And everyone on the bubble breathes a sigh of relief.

 

Municipal Auditorium

 

Don't know how that posted. Was trying to say it was a dump 20 years ago, much less now. But Nashville is perfect for OVC fanbases that actually travel.

 

I might rather have Kenny Boynton and Bradley Beal at Florida or Doron Lamb and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist at Kentucky, without even leaving the SEC East. There's also Marcus Denmon and Kim English at Missouri. But the Vanderbilt wings are high on the list, for sure.

Taylor looked like a future lottery pick as a freshman, but he slipped because he looked passive too often. He's had a very nice senior season, though. I can't get enough Jenkins. I have no question he'll find a role -- perhaps as a backup shooter, but a role nonetheless -- in the NBA.

 

ROCKY TOP!

If Cuonzo Martin doesn't get a shit-load of CoY votes, something's wrong with the system.

 

So looking forward to UNC-Duke tonight.

 

Is Northwestern in now? Obviously a lot of things can still happen. But they have to be pretty solidly in at this moment.

 

I think they need a win, maybe two, in the Big Ten tournament.

 

Wichita State losing today did nobody on the bubble any favors.
