College Basketball 2020-2021

Kim Mulkey is a horsefeathering lunatic and always has been.

Guys I think Gonzaga might be good.

[Derwood]

These announcers SUUUUUCK

[gflore34]

Good showing by Michigan, made it to the Elite Eight, further than I thought they'd go. But, honestly, that Mike Smith sucks, might be the height but, it didn't seem to bother Tyger Campbell all that much, there's a reason Smith was in the Ivy League.

That was easily one of the 3 most painful non-Cubs related sports losses in my life. Ugh

[ChiCubsFan]

Take solace in the fact they likely would have got pounded by Gonzaga Saturday.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I am happy.

 

Sorry UMFan.

[sneakypower]

tbh i was kinda unbothered by it knowing we would've gotten summarily destroyed by the Zags

 

Final Four would've been a great feat esp without Livers though

Roy Williams is retiring. Going to be interesting to see the dominoes that fall with that job open.

I'm assuming it'll start with Bill Self to UNC, then Brad Underwood to Kansas, then Porter Moser to Illinois, just like the last time UNC opened up.

They're big on bringing in Tar Heels to coach them so I doubt Self is the guy. Wouldn't surprise me to see them ultimately go with Hubert Davis. He starred for UNC back in the day and he's been Roy's assistant since 2012.

[Old Style]

No surprise. Chris Beard is leaving Texas Tech for Texas.

Wes Miller(Greensboro coach, played for UNC) would also fit the bill.

At least they got to Elite 8 and didn't crap the bed like the Illini. Yeah, yeah I know the Illini played an under-seeded team, which, quite probably played the collective game of their lives. But, I'm convinced with a few adjustments the Illini could have come back and won the game.

 

Not understanding why they had Dickinson in bounding the ball instead of trying to run a play for him on that last possession. Of course, with the way the night was progressing for Michigan he'd probably drawn a foul and missed one or both of he FT's.

UCLA opponents have shot 34-70 from the free throw line in the tournament.

UCLA opponents have shot 34-70 from the free throw line in the tournament.

As usual, the takeaway from the NCAA tournament is "Man, the NCAA tournament is so random." and rarely "Man, the NCAA tournament really shows who the best teams are."

 

Though there's a chance the best 2 teams do actually make the championship game this year, which has happened...maybe 4-5 times before?

It's one of those inexplicably lucky events that occur for a team like UCLA to make it to the FF. I'm certain not everyone of FT attempts were by shooters with good averages however, I did see plenty of misses by Michigan from shooters with good averages the other night.

If the format was changed to double elimination would we see more of the better teams make it to the FF? Look at what Loyola did to the Illini, nearly perfect for one game would they be able to pull that off again in a best of 3 vs. the Illini? I have my doubts.

Making the NCAA tournament more fair to better teams would effectively ruin the NCAA tournament, so there's really no fix.

I don't get it, he was a starter and played 25-30 minutes per game. Curbelo was more the pure point guard, but Miller was the shooting guard poised to take over Ayo's shot volume most of all.

Me neither, just don't get it, hopefully, Underwood has something in the works to replace him. Seriously, starting on a program back on the rise, would have had a great PG to set him up next season, what the horsefeathers else could he want?

It doesn't make sense at all, unless like you said Underwood has something in the works.

While its surprising, there's nothing the Illini got from Miller that they couldn't get from almost literally thousands of transfer candidates and as yet unsigned/uncommitted 2021 recruits. So. if I'm Underwood I'm fine, good luck, goodbye Adam, next.

Agreed. Although I was hoping Miller would take a big step forward with Ayo gone.
