Running 2015-16 College Hoops Thread

Party in West Long Branch tonight!!!

 

Western Illinois is coming off a season in which it won three conference games, and it ended with 14 losses in its last 15. Ouch.

 

That would explain why WIU was a 25 point dog last night. No one should be that big an underdog. Anything more than 18 is a crapshoot.

 

N.C. State gave Mark Gottfried a contract extension yesterday and promptly got drubbed by William & Mary for its trouble.

 

Can we please stop this I Love Murrica Circle Jerk horseshit now? Please. "We gonna play on a AIRCRAFT CARRIER with CAMO UNIFORMS cause MURRICA. We gonna' build a court right where we dropped the bomb cause MURRICA!" Every time it ends up with a shitty, slippery court and far-from-ideal conditions. You could fly the teams halfway across the world, along with all of your precious camera and broadcast equipment but no one thought about dropping a couple grand on an air conditioner.

 

Georgetown either thought it was already March or decided to see what happens if it gets the inevitable loss to a double-digit seed out of the way ahead if time.

 

Radford getting a big win in something other than a "most STDs" competition? Good for them!

 

You know, if the STD situation is as bad at Radford as they always say, my guess is one would be wise to wrap it up in Blacksburg as well.

 

Speaking of wrapping it up in Blacksburg, mighty Alabama State is up 8 with 3 minutes left in the Cassell.

 

Lunch pail! Bud Foster! Beamer ... wait, what?

 

Buzz might have himself about the 7th or 8th-best team in the Commonwealth.
