[Kevin Bryan]

So Greg Oden threw a mop on his head and thought nobody would notice, eh?

Hopefully his knees are better.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

I'm a DePaul, LSU and Atlanta Hawks fan. You think I can't handle a beating?

Don't forget *former Indiana and Duke fan.

 

[ThePhog08]

I think KJ Adams is an X factor on offense and defense tonight

 

[JimboBBN]

Getting close to tipoff for game one

 

[ThePhog08]

So many teams have had so much turnover that we all have no idea who is good and who is not. The draft and transfer portal is chaos. For all we know UK is #1 and KU is #18. Maybe both MSU and Duke are 5 seeds and not top teams. Maybe the NCAA champ is unranked like Uconn last year.

Tonight will truly shine a light on things.

The only team we know absolutely sucks is Indiana

Cheers to that brother

Drink the big blue kool-aid boys. We're bringing home a dub tonight.

Great time to remind everyone there is only 5 bluebloods and this will never change.

KU, UK, UNC, UCLA and PUKE

Doing a little fishing tonight aye? 😂

 

[ThePhog08]

UK boys better stay in this thread and out of the rafters

 

[KisteK]

Duke lost to Arizona
Kansas lost to Illinois
Michigan State lost to JMU


Kentucky remains untainted. Go Big Blue

.. but ..

.... but wouldn't that mean Kentucky is due for a loss?

 

[Random UK Fan]

Good luck to all the teams!

Except Kansas

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Damn that's a lot of empty seats.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Damn that's a lot of empty seats.

Nobody cares about the opening act.

 

[ThePhog08]

Both Duke and MSU suck

 

[GhostOf301]

Damn that's a lot of empty seats.

Could be the continuing decline in interest in the sport. Or it's because it's two shitty teams and the late game will be a packed house. Or it's 6 o'clock Chicago time and people are either getting off of work or getting ready for the nightly gunfights.

 

[JDMEvergreen]

Sit Malik Hall and MSU's up 6 right meow!

 

[ThePhog08]

Sit Malik Hall and MSU's up 6 right meow!

Who do you replace him with? Carr?

 

[JimboBBN]

I know it’s been a slow start but damn I’m glad college basketball is back

 

[GhostOf301]

If missing open threes and turning it over more times than minutes played is good. Duke is looking damned good right now.

 

[kyjeff1]

Sit Malik Hall and MSU's up 6 right meow!

Hall and Hoggard played ridiculously soft in thst JMU loss and it looks like that softness is carrying over to this game.

Although, duke is equally as soft with the ball.

They’re waiting outside to rob everyone when they leave.

Hope anyone who owns a Kia or a Hyundai, uber'd.

it’s def November. This game is sloppy.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

32 travels so far by my count.

 

[GhostOf301]

This is unwatchable. WTF

 

[boilerzz]

I turned on Duke - Michigan State, and a Wisconsin – Virginia game broke out.

 

[JimboBBN]

You expected this kind of game. Especially for Duke being so young

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Hope nobody took the over in this game. 😬

Yep, Carr. Undersized, but not a black hole on O.


FR have to play~20min apiece

Carson Cooper
Carr
Akins
Hoggard
Walker

Change my mind

What do you base this on?

The 2022 final four set cable records and social media engagements were off the charts throughout that tourney.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Pretty funny how they dropped MSU from 4 to 18 because they lost to JMU… then put JMU in the Top 25. 🤣

 

[kyjeff1]

UK and KU fans, you know this duke/MSU game is going to go to overtime, right? It’s almost a guarantee.

UK usually gets the 9pm game in Tuesday nights, Michigan State gets the 7am game and sure as shit, we miss the first 10 minutes of our game every time.

 

[GhostOf301]

Starting to see a flow. Hopefully it continues. The start of this game had been less entertaining than women's soccer.
