General college hoops game thread

Not if his buyout is what I'm hearing it is. I give Coach Capel an enormous amount of credit. He's apparently still making money for signing Blake Griffin nearly two decades ago.

As is Loser with Krutwig..

Ncsu really putting it on the heels

Capel also failed to win the replace Coach K derby despite some chances. Though, Johnny dawkins, quin snyder, wojo, tommy amaker also failed.

Just saw where Toppin tore his acl and is out for the rest of the season. Sucks for Tech. Not only did they lose @ ASU, they lose one of the best players in the country. Ugh.

I just looked at bracket projections at espn. How the heck is Auburn, 14-12, still in the field?

Strength of schedule. And if they beat Kentucky tonight, it'll only help them.

Because it’s remarkably easy to make the tourney as a power conference team if (a) you play a good schedule and (b) your coach isn’t Porter Moser.

They just picked up another Q-1 win. Winning when they need it I guess. We’ve forgotten what that’s like.

I didn't watch it today, but how in the world did KU lose by 16 at home to Cincinnati?

Man, idk. Sometimes I watch KU and think Bill Self may need to think about retiring soon

How so?

There’s talk this may be his last season. Jacque
Vaughn may be the coach in waiting. His health concerns may push him into retirement. Thats what I’ve heard from some folks in Lawrence. All speculation of course.

Not as easy to win when other teams can now pay players.

It's not hard to look across college sports, specifically football and men's basketball, and see who cheating was likely benefiting the most.

Uh … you realize that using that ridiculously simplistic thinking, people could make that same argument about our football program, right? Which would be dumb, of course.

KU always loses some weird game but never against us. And usually the week before we played them

Not even close to the same thing. Not even close. And I know you know that, but of course, you gotta be you.

Good grief.

You really think OU football (or any sport) was paying players or cheating?

You know better. Clown.
