2021-22 College Basketball Thread

[100% pro-life no matter what]

I was hoping to see Coach K go out on top.  Oh well, now I'd like Carolina to tie the record for the lowest seed to cut down the nets.  Think Kansas will win though!

[Never Made it to Graceland]

I f***ing hate both North Carolina and Duke so who cares? Kansas is the only team in this final four that's not completely detestable so I'll cheer for them I guess. Nothing worse than a tournament that ends with all blue bloods and it's not even chalk.

Tarheels aren't winning everyone predicts KU to win they dominated Nova unlike TarHeels barely won

Coach K is old,  everyone get accustomed to Coach K system that's why Phil Jackson retired, everyone knows the Triangle offense, coaches systems after awhile get copied

He won 5 Titles anyways I only liked Duke when they had Grant Hill

Every LSU scholarship player has entered the transfer portal.  Which, why not?  It does seem that now that players can get paid above the table, the need to pay below the table will disappear, but who knows?

The national championship will be a rematch of the 1957 game, when North Carolina defeated Kansas (with Wilt Chamberlain) 54-53 in triple overtime.

Love Kansas and their humble and respectful, yet totally raucous fanbase. One of the best in sports. They deserve one finally! Best Final Four ever - after last year's ugly debacle...

Kansas gave Philadelphia Wilt Chamberlain and Joel Embiid, probably two of its four or five best basketball players in history.

In what might be the fastest coaching hire I've ever seen, Thad Matta has taken the job at Butler.

South Carolina won the Women's NCAA March Madness Tournament 64-49 over UConn.

South Carolina won the Women's NCAA March Madness Tournament 64-49 over UConn.

That's Geno Auriemma's first loss ever in NCAA Tournament final.

This is the first time I've ever heard a Dixieland version of the national anthem.  I kind of like it.

KU off to a good start again

[GeorgiaModerate]

Amazing half of basketball by North Carolina.

[Podgy the Bear]

This is the same NC team that was literally blown out on its own floor against 11-21 Pittsburgh in late February.    Amazing transformation in just six weeks.

Disgusting team and program, another undeserved title is a loss for basketball and sports in general.

I knew Kansas would come back harder.

Do you ever say anything positive?

I mean, I'm not going to give props to a program that doesn't deserve to be here. I'll positively comment on positive things that happen. But I hate UNC.

Great comeback! Thank you Kansas! Congrats Bill Self on ending your 14 year drought.

People are such whiners about this being a bad tournament. As someone who struggled to watch at times this season, that was a pretty terrific three weekends of content with the perfect finish.

But then again, this is the reason I watch the college game:

So glad KU won instead of Duke or UNC

It’s always fun to look at ridiculously early Top 25’s for the next season, and there are a couple out already for 2022-2023.  Here are their top 5:

ESPN: Arkansas, Houston, UCLA, Kansas, North Carolina

CBS Sports: UCLA, North Carolina, Kentucky, Baylor, Houston

Obviously these will change due to draft decisions, transfers, etc.

Former Penn and Temple Head Coach Fran Dunphy is taking the job at La Salle.

All he'll need is Villanova and St. Joseph's to complete the set.

That's an amazing hire for San Diego. I wouldn't be shocked if the Toreros make the NCAA Tournament by 2023-2024, as the third (or maybe even fourth) team out of the WCC.
