Running 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Thread

I saw on the bottom line that Davis from Detroit Mercy was bitching that he didn't get a chance to play in the postseason and break Maravich's record. His team went 14-19. Give me a fucking break. Win some games. Fucking Radford and Tarleton got into the CBI, but at least they had winning records. Talk about putting a giant asterisk on a record if he had broken it in that shit event...

 

Isn’t baseball the top sport there?

 

Colorado survives in OT in a grinding, defensive slog. Duke had to play that way because while Kara Lawson had a strong defense in place, the Blue Devils were not an offensive machine.

 

Even though Virginia Tech's women won in Knoxville this year, I suspect the Hokies are the prohibitive underdog--even as the No. 1 seed--in a regional with UT, UConn and Ohio State.

 

I'm sure this has been covered, but Maravich played 83 games in three seasons. Davis played 144 games over five seasons. Giant asterisk, indeed.

 

At least you're not in Bridgeport with Connecticut. Nice of the NCAA Tournament Committee to "reward" a No. 1 seed with that crap, then have Rebecca Lobo try to defend her alma mater on air for the move.

I think the Hokies are clearly better than Ohio State, but still trying to figure out if Tennessee has hit its stride or if Toledo was a convenient punching bag. As for Connecticut ... they've been as up and down as anyone has seen in at least a decade, undoubtedly because of all the injuries.

 

Davis was complaining about those who wrote in to the CBI or made it known that they didn't want Detroit Mercy in that tournament.

 

OK, must have mis-read that last night.

 

A little bit of both. Tennessee is playing as well as it has all year, but the top handful of teams are still clearly a level above. The freak comeback win vs. LSU was nice, but LSU was way overrated at No. 2 at the time. VT should win by 8-10.

 

And Maravich took 2o0 more shots in those 83 games than Davis did in his 144.

 

Not to mention the three point shot.
