Kim English with a big win....let's hope he never goes home

I've watched Providence a few times this year. Kim English may have a big coaching future ahead of him. I've been impressed with his team this season.

Cincinnati plays Baylor soon....maybe we can get the 3rd or 2nd #3 seed

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

KU, Duke, Creighton all losing early

 

[abchew2]

Besides Maryland getting smoked, a Baylor loss would make this a pretty darn good day for us.

Other than a gas leak, asteroid, sinkhole, etc., who are we rooting for in the Indiana/Penn State game?

I think we should always root for the team that we lost to, to keep it a quality loss. A bad loss hurts more than a good win helps in terms of seeding

Yeah, but if an IU win makes it more likely that Woodson remains, then it gets trickier...

absolutely, 100% PSU. Revenge game for us in the event they then defeat Nebraska. I think we'd win that rematch by 20 pts.

And I don't want to have to face the IU big guys.

 

[DB11Headband]

3 seed

 

[Uihoop2023!]

Steve Fisher

Battle vs the war

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

Duke goes down.

I know everyone reading this thread already realizes this, but holy crap is there just an insane amount of basketball on right now. I can't click to all the different games fast enough. I somehow forgot just how good championship week is.

YouTubeTV is the best. I've got Nova/Marq, Colorado St/Nevada, Cincy/Baylor, and IU/PSU on my screen right now.

And I can basically sub any games that are on.

Nobody good wants to win the A-10. The 1, 2 and 4 seeds lost earlier, and now Dayton is down 6 with 3 minutes to play.

 

[the national]

Baylor-Cincy is a real barn—burner

Blink and you might miss…nothing.

 

[battle]

Baylor without a basket at the under 12, down 12 3

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

MWC plays at Thomas and Mack-UNLV home. WCC plays at Orleans Arena and different dates. PAC-12 leaves T Mobile Arena open and there’s always the Raiders stadium

There's virtually zero chance they would do the BTT at Allegiant Stadium. Only way it would even be remotely feasible is if it was a situation similar to the 2021 BTT (and we all know the reason that that was played at Lucas Oil)

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Unbelievable missed dunk that could have iced it for NC State turns into technical foul for hanging on the rim. Never seen that one

For those who haven't seen it:

Dayton loses; the winner of the A10 will now be a bid stealer

It also likely knocks Indiana State out of the NCAA Tournament field.

Wow, they were looking for ANY reason to give Duke a chance calling that. Even ignoring that time on the rim was weak and nothing close to what that rule is there for, You are going to penalize a dude for hanging on the rim after he blew it? Lol

 

[Captain 14]

Technically....it's Weeeeell doggies...with all due respect. But point well made.

I saw something similar happen in the state tournament last weekend though it wasn't a late game situation. I believe the blown dunk was in the 2nd quarter of one of the games.

I don't think you can hang on the rim and play the ball...that's why the T was called
