2016-2017 College Basketball Thread

Yep, I'm done with John Groce. This team plays too dumb and not nearly hard enough, especially on defense, for him to keep his job. Some pretty pathetic performances already this season, today included.

This was the first game I was able to watch this year, I think I will call it a year. Nice guy, didn't get it done.

So DePaul is winning at Villanova with 5:30 left...

 

The point spread for the game was 26.5

[raw]

Tom Crean didn't coach any defense this offseason, I see. Lost at home to Nebraska, who I think literally only scored on layups or wide open 3's.

One week into the conference season and the RPI is already hilarious. Particularly in the B1G. Guses which teams have which RPIs: 10, 25, 29, 34, 46, 48, 50, 56, 68, 81, 91, 120, 129, 145.

that's why opposing fans bitch about the officiating at allen fieldhouse

Seems like every other year the Big 12 has to issue an apology about officials blowing games in KU's favor.

I know Illinois is one of the lower ones, maybe one of the ones in the 20s, and Indiana is 120 I think... Is Rutgers a way lower number than they should be also?

 

Oh, and I'm pretty sure Indiana will be Illinois by about 20 this Saturday, but then Illinois will inexplicably beat a good team and the Groce era will continue as it has until it inevitably ends after a First Four or NIT loss.

Minnesota and Illinois are the low two, Indiana and Iowa are the high two.

 

Also on the high end are Michigan and Ohio State, and the other low ones are Maryland, MSU and Nebraska

[sneakypower]

somehow beating Penn St at home feels like a triumph

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Iowa @ Nebraska is some of the ugliest basketball I've seen in a while

[Guest]

Yay, Illini win. And aso Kipper Nichols.

[bcl412]

It's nice to have an annoying Bohannan on an Iowa team instead of playing them all the time

[Derwood]

Is there a coaching seat hotter than Thad Motta's?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

It's nice to have an annoying Bohannan on an Iowa team instead of playing them all the time

it's also pretty awesome that we got the best of the group

[UMFan83]

The Big Ten blows hard this year

he seemed to light us up and i could only keep hearing Tom Tom Club repeating his name

[ConstableRabbit]

Um, I think northwestern is good.

[Cubswin11]

Um, I think northwestern is good.

They aren't bad, but the Big Ten is pretty bad this year. I could see only 5 teams getting in the tournament.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Um, I think northwestern is good.

slow it down, all they did was beat Iowa

[Smack]

Peter Jok goes all Michael Jordan on Purdue and can't hit horsefeathers against Northwestern. horsefeathers you Peter Jok.

[soccer10k]

We're a couple minutes away from #1, 2 and 4 going down on the same day and Gonzaga likely going to #1.

[UMFan83]

Keep on winning SMU and Marquette

 

(yes I'm still holding out hope Michigan can get their horsefeathers together)

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Can't wait for a team that has Lonzo Ball to get bounced in the Sweet 16. Alford is a garbage coach (and person).

[illiniguy]

Disgusting things possibly going on in Lawrence.
