Clown Team '23-'24 Edition

[cdbearde]

Dumbass from Pitt challenged that last 3 at the buzzer and nearly fouled too. When you are up 4 that is the ONLY thing that can lose you the game. Can't believe kids still continue to do this stupid shit.

And who I think has the highest basketball IQ on our team, and don't make many mistakes did just that, but he was called for the foul. Thank goodness it did not make it to the basket, as in he got a piece of the ball. 😉
They all make mistakes, sometimes at the wrong time. 😶

"Top 10" Memphis loses another conference game.

 

[JC for 3]

😂 Kansas

...to a 6-11 team.

Yet they beat your team and haven’t lost to any bad midmajors at home. Sit this one out, peewee.

that midmajor is at least 13-5, pee wee.

And ranked 38 spots higher in the NET than WVU. 😬

Purdue. Only beat Michigan by 32.

 

[MGO2022]

Purdue. Only beat Michigan by 32.

Mean they actually beat a 7 win team unlike Kansas when they went to Morgantown

Purdue. Only beat Michigan by 32.

To be fair, we pulled the starters with 12 minutes left and had walk-ons in with 8 minutes left or it would've been much, much worse.

Which win are you most impressed by after their win in Rupp? Personally, I was impressed when they conquered Elon. They gave E Carolina, Drexel, Towson, and Appalachian St all they could handle too. Well, the last one not so much...

6-11 < 13-5.

Arizona (favored by 19) falls @ Oregon State. I saw a stat earlier that AP top 10 teams have only won 41% of true road games this year...

I guess that means I should be happy that Purdue is 3-2 in true road games.

UK is 2-2 and one of those wins was Louisville. 🤣

LOL @ UL.

Beavers ftw.

 

[MGO2022]

Illinois for playing a rapist because he’s good at basketball and still losing to Northwestern

All the talking heads keep putting Arizona up there as one if the top title contenders, but damn, they keep losing weird games. It’s like Sean Miller never left.

That is a crazy stat.

 

[kyjeff1]

I believe this is the oldest college basketball has ever been. Add the transfer portal and immediate eligibility to that and to me, these things make that 41% road win stat look pretty good.

This is the worst year to go at it with a young team. There are a lot of grown ass men out there this year.

So 1-2 in D1 games then.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

IDK how accurate that tweet is. I think the stat includes all teams, not just unranked teams.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Does anyone actually miss the refs?

 

[lurkeraspect84]

I'm glad they got rid of the dance after a charge call.

They probably revert back once tournament time starts.

Theories on this?

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Theories on this?

Parity? But they're top 10 teams. Forced parity?

 

[lurkeraspect84]

I honestly have no idea. How do the best teams in the nation, voted for, have a losing record on the road?

It will probably drop more after this weekend.

Oh Carolina….come on down!

 

[Noahtogo24]

Refs missed a huge foul call.

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

UNC joins the thread. But as many top 10 teams that are losing to unranked opponents I guess I'm not surprised.

 

[boilerzz]

Refs missed a huge foul call.

I don’t know. I really hate a foul call when the offensive player initiated all the contact.

 

[FaithPlusOne]

Some teams don’t get the call at the end of games.

I’m here for the clown show. Pathetic effort for the majority of the game.

 

[shields]

Michigan is true clown team.

 

[boilerzz]

@jwardelt, get in here and wear your Clown Crown! Michigan?

[Random UK Fan]

The one year we get Gonzaga at Rupp and they blow chunks. Could be a beatdown.

I’ll still take it at this point. Not gonna help our SOS, but I’ll take the win (fingers crossed).

 

[kyjeff1]

I hope we're done seeing Wisconsin as a 2 seed in the metrics. I was stunned to see them there, didn't even know they were ranked.

They've been hiding. That is not a 2 seed type team.

Theories on this?

Possibly they are playing , well, really good teams? Top 10 teams---Top 20 teams?
