I am rejecting all THING-DOING today and watching just college ball all day.
Any thoughts going into the last week of the season? |
Date: March 3rd, 2025 12:27 AM Author: Bat Shit Crazy Racy Cuck very excited for conference tourney time but don't have much to say about the teams atm, however March is a good time to start considering the coaching carousel: UNC extended Hubert (lmao) so the IU job search will be the story of the spring/summer. I expect it will be as exciting as last year's UL/UK searches combined, and with good chances of a worse final result. They've already whiffed publicly on Brad Stevens and Dusty May, and past that there aren't many realistic options that the IU boosters would approve of. Chris Beard is the man for the job imo but who knows what will happen. UVA is the next biggest (unless maybe Villanova fires Neptune), and from what I hear from friends in Charlottesville the list rn is Ryan Odom/Shaka Smart/Richard Pitino. The friend also mentioned Mark Byington, but I don't really believe that the UVA athletic department is willing to get in a buyout bidding war with Vandy. |

Date: March 13th, 2025 2:29 PM Author: Mailer Daemon duke survives a scare from georgia tech in a game that didn't matter, but the title dream may have died along with Flagg's fragile Bambi ankle funny thing is that winning the ACC probably wouldn't even help Louisville or Clemson on seeding, though the path for a new NC state run is open (for Carolina?) lot of early exits for bubble teams, I think IU and Ohio state are out in any sane world and WVU should be nervous after losing to a dogshit Colorado team |
|
Date: March 13th, 2025 11:50 PM Author: grant nelson's moustache I am looking forward to watching the UNC-Duke game tomorrow. UNC has obviously been UTTER garbage this year, but with both Flagg and Maliq Brown out, UNC might have a fighting chance.

Date: March 13th, 2025 4:32 PM Author: Mailer Daemon great games today so far, BYU might be the scariest team in the country atm. metrics have them as a top 5 efficiency offense since february, and they just rained 3s on iowa st for 40 minutes straight edit: "great games" does not apply to unc/wake, which is the ugliest game i have seen all year. neither of these teams deserve to make the NIT |
|
Date: March 13th, 2025 11:52 PM Author: grant nelson's moustache I am really not familiar with BYU at all. I'll take your word for it.
I've been mostly watching SEC and Big East games this year with a very few big ten and b12 games thrown in. dont think ive seen any byu games though.
wake is a fugly team. i caught their game vs duke months ago and wanted to claw my own eyes out. they are utter garbage. the acc sucks this year outside of duke clemson louisville. ugh. |

Date: March 14th, 2025 1:42 AM Author: Mailer Daemon They are impossible to seed because the university bylines prohibit athletic events on Sunday. They are a 3/4 level team that is gonna end up as a 7 or something and fuck up some unlucky high seed. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5687581&forum_id=2).#48746489) |

In College basketball we get tons of thrilling games like this every year, but in the NBA you get maybe one a year (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5687581&forum_id=2).#48747325) |

there were more great games literally just this week than there are in many entire nba seasons.

Date: March 15th, 2025 10:56 AM Author: grant nelson's moustache as it turns out, quite a bit
understandably they are feeling the effects of losing ~half dozen players to the draft over the past two years
the single biggest issue is that their major portal pick up to play point guard (mahaney) ended up just sucking and not able to adapt to uconn's play. he was starting early in the season and played like ass, making a bunch of retarded turnovers and wasnt able to defend quick guards. by retarded turnovers i mean... in one game early in the season, he just stopped bringing the ball up before mid-court and got an 8 second violation for literally no reason. just wasn't paying attention. looked completely lost almost every time he was on the floor.
this led to diarra starting at point guard. he's just straight up not good enough to be a starting point guard at the level uconn wants to play at. has a tendency to dribble way too much, get stuck in weird places after dribbling too much, and chucking up hero shots when the shot clock is winding down.
karaban looked ok-ish at the very beginning of the season but then got a concussion in one of the early games and imo has never looked the same since. had a very mediocre season and imo his draft stock has dropped a lot. he was kinda playing a point-forward position in a few of the early games as hurley was trying to figure out the mahaney/diarra situation at point and did an ok job of it, but then completely fell off.
they've also had issues with their big men. samson johnson has definitely underperformed. trnsfer tarris reed jr has grown into the 5 position well but was injured for a good portion of the season
the only two starters that i think have really played as well as uconn starters should be playing imo are solo ball (which i think is a 180 AF name for a basketball player btw) and liam mcneeley. but you cant run a successful and consistent offense with just your 2 and 3 positions.
they also dont have much depth on their bench. other than reed, they are just underperforming as a group.
hurley is of course an enormous asshole but i appreciate the guy for his quirks and coaching ability. he's been spazzing out all season as his team consistently underperforms and loses close games. they've also been getting a really rough whistle, probably because the refs hate his fucking guts.
and THAT is what is wrong w uconn this year :) |
|
Date: March 15th, 2025 11:21 AM Author: grant nelson's moustache Kyle Neptune OUT as HC of Villanova.
its about time villanova, get your FUCKING SHIT together, faggots
Iowa fired their coach as well, but who the fuck cares about Iowa? Their mens program has been mediocre for a long time |
|
Date: March 15th, 2025 2:02 PM Author: Mailer Daemon early read on the situation is that their top choices other than current power conference HCs are snatching McCollum from IU or snatching Odom from UVA, gonna be interesting either way good chance that Texas fire their coach too, and they're ready to dump a ton of $$$ to get their guy |
|
Date: March 15th, 2025 4:00 PM Author: grant nelson's moustache i need one of these schools to hire ME as their head coach!
why is tttexas firing their coach? i feel like they were just victim to being in the SEC this year. would have been fine in any other conference. |

Date: March 15th, 2025 3:51 PM Author: grant nelson's moustache day drinking and watching college basketball all day until i have to thing-do tonight = 180000000000000000000000 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5687581&forum_id=2).#48750318) |

|
Date: March 15th, 2025 3:59 PM Author: grant nelson's moustache yeah, that was the difference right there
auburn in general has just looked... TIRED the past two weeks. which i guess is understandable given their schedule
are you watching the bama-fl game? if so who are you cheering for? im cheering for grant nelson's moustache but i wont be heartbroken if fl wins |
|
Date: March 15th, 2025 4:03 PM Author: Mailer Daemon Golden is a creep and a kid that grew up down the street walked on at Bama for Oats so I'll root for them but I'm not that invested At this point I kinda just want most of these SEC teams to wear themselves out and then get embarrassed by UCSD or whoever |
|
Date: March 15th, 2025 4:09 PM Author: grant nelson's moustache over the past month, i keep having this FEELING that michigan state is gonna go on a crazy run and win this year because the SEC teams are going to be too beaten up and broken from their brutal conference schedule. like a weird intuitive feeling i keep getting. but then i watch a few minutes of their games here and there and im just not that impressed by them.
maybe im just being a batshit crazy woman, idk.
i would love to see pitino lead st. johns to a title this year. they fucking CANNOT SHOOT. but i LOVE watching them play defense. ive never been so excited to watch a full court press in my life.
i guess we'll see.
i MIGHT be running a march madness bracket challenge on xo. trying to make sure i can lock down a prize for the winner. stay tuned.
*edit* and yes, i know the big 10 hasnt won the title in fucking ages. i still keep having this feeling tho |
