2016-2017 College Basketball Thread

Man Purdue choked that horsefeathers away. Missed free throws when it mattered, 6-13 on the day including multiple front ends of 1-1's. Brutal from the #1 FT shooting team in the conference. I guess Michigan is a 'good loss'. I really hope they keep the 4 seed and play in Milwaukee so I can see them in person.

Luckily for you, basketball out west is quite good at the high end this year so they won't have to ship all 4s out to those sites.

In other words, classic Painter. I know it's the players who loses the game with the missed FTs, etc., but Purdue has choked way too many times in Painter's tenure where they shouldn't have (mainly in tournaments).

 

Wouldn't shock me to see them being upset in the first round next week.

Sean Miller just called a timeout against UCLA up ~10 with the ball with .9 seconds left on a possession that started with about ~20 sec left and didn't make any subs. Okay then.

i guess Derrick Walton is Trey Burke now

[UMFan83]

So happy for him. He got off to a great start as a freshman in a role player role on a E8 team then next 2 years weren't up to his potential because of injuries etc. he deserves this.

[UMFan83]

And Groce officially fired. Like someone on twitter said, Michigan got Groce hired and Michigan got him fired (or at least the last straw)

[hawkeyecub]

Any buzz on potential Illinois targets? I know Cuonzo's name has been thrown out there for that and Missouri. I was really hoping they'd give Groce another year.

Kevin Keatts or Will Wade, Im hearing.

Obviously unlikely but would be funny if Illini are selected for the tourney tomorrow

I mean, some of the lower at large profiles are really terrible.

Especially since they named Walker the intern and he would then be suspended if they were selected. But, it won't happen.

I don't care if they'll get slaughtered by a 1-seed in the first round. UCD is going to the tournament!

SEC refs love Kentucky in basketball the way they love Bama in football. And their fans are equally obnoxious.

[bukie]

There's growing speculation in the analytical community that Illinois and Illinois State would be the last 2 teams left out, and that one could get in if Rhode Island loses.

NIT is going to experiment with the rules:

Something with the end of the Miami tournament game from a few years back. I believe Walker got so heated after he drew a two game suspension from the Tournament as a result.

NIT is going to experiment with the rules:

 

I'm indifferent on all the foul related ones but I really like the 20 second shot clock for a front court inbounds. Would the shot clock go down to 20 if it's over 20 when they're inbounding (like after a missed shot when the ball goes off the defending team)?

[UMFan83]

One and ones are great, why get rid of them??

Maybe less fouls at the end of the game?

Are we not doing a bracket group this year?

if you [expletive] stay away I could win the nsbb group this year
