Default NCAA 2018 College Basketball Ball Thread

Trae Young is the best freshman I've ever seen. Him and Brady Manek are the best freshmen duo in OU basketball history?

Watching that seoncd game something came up that peaked by interest, first time since 1973… Duke and UNC both lost at home on the same day.

St. John’s is 0-11 in Big East play (11-13 overall) & just beat Duke. That's really impressive loss on their resume.... lol

I'm way too lazy to figure this out, but after beating Nova tonight, St John's is probably going to be the only team ever to beat two top four teams and not even make the tournament. As of now they wouldn't even make the NIT. Quite a few days for the Johnies.

Miles Bridges = Cold Blooded. The decision to stay in school and get better...may be the best decision he’s ever made. Hes added so much to his game.

Rough day for top 25 teams.

Numbers 2, 3, 10, 17, 19, and 24 all lose. One of 11 or 12 will join them as they are playing each other.

No dominant teams this year. UVA, Villanova, Purdue and Sparty are all excellent, but none of them look like can't miss Final 4 teams. It's gonna be a wide open tournament.

The Big 12 is just beating the crap out of each other. Probably the best league top to bottom.

For sure. Going to make the at large bids very interesting.

NCAA just released its current Top 16 seeds, and as usual with the NCAA its laughable.

Michigan State a 3 seed, they deserve at least a 2 seed. OU in the top 16 is puzzling, when West Virginia isn't another as they beat them twice. I'd have Gonzaga, or a handful teams on the 4 line.

Just the tip of the iceberg....that sunk the Titanic.

Quote:
The Louisville men’s basketball program will have to vacate its 2013 NCAA title and 2012 Final Four appearance after the NCAA denied its appeal of what the school described as “draconian penalties” levied against the team. The NCAA Division I Infractions Appeals Committee also upheld the penalty that requires Louisville to return money received through conference revenue sharing for NCAA tournament appearances in 2012, '13, '14 and '15.

History is made...

Quote:
Drexel set the men's Division I record for a comeback win Thursday, overcoming a 34-point first-half deficit to beat Delaware 85-83.

Delaware led 53-19 with 2:36 remaining in the first half and was up 56-29 at halftime.

FBI wiretaps intercepted telephone conversations between Arizona coach Sean Miller and Christian Dawkins, a key figure in the FBI's investigation into college basketball corruption, in which Miller discussed paying $100,000 to ensure star freshman Deandre Ayton signed with the Wildcats, sources familiar with the government's evidence told ESPN.

According to people with knowledge of the FBI investigation, Miller and Dawkins, a runner working for ASM Sports agent Andy Miller, had multiple conversations about Ayton. When Dawkins asked Miller if he should work with assistant coach Emanuel "Book" Richardson to finalize their agreement, Miller told Dawkins he should deal directly with him when it came to money, the sources said.

The telephone calls between Miller and Dawkins were among 3,000 hours of conversations intercepted from Dawkins' phone alone by the FBI.
Quote:
Richardson is accused of accepting $20,000 in bribes and paying a recruit to sign with the Wildcats. In exchange for the money, the government alleges, Richardson agreed to influence Arizona players to sign with Dawkins and financial advisor Munish Sood, who also was arrested by FBI agents. Arizona formally fired Richardson on Jan. 11.

Richardson is charged with six felonies: conspiracy to commit bribery, solicitation of bribes by an agent of a federally funded organization, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, wire fraud conspiracy, mail fraud conspiracy and travel act conspiracy. He has pleaded not guilty and faces up to 60 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines.

Everyone had Deandre Ayton pegged for Kansas. Weird how a payday apparently changes your mind. I can't see Miller lasting the weekend, Ayton is likely suspended too. Greg Bryne should be looked at too. And, so how much did Duke offer Zion Williamson?

To be fair we all know high level recruits are getting paid, but Sean Miller goofed up bad and got caught on a FBI wiretap. You mean to tell me Nick Saban whos the highest paid person in the state of Alabama isnt doing the same thing?

Shocker. ESPN still hasn’t proven any of the allegations it made against Dantonio/Izzo. All ESPN will say is they stand by their reporting.

@McCannSportsLaw:
A source tells @SInow that the FBI wiretap did NOT intercept a phone call where Sean Miller discussed making a payment to DeAndre Ayton. This and other details in a new @SInow legal analysis: https://t.co/yrxeqrEBJH https://t.co/Hlf2H3BQXr

Virginia is very good at what they do. Its also terrible because it makes you want to go have a nap. Tony tony Bennett is one heck of a coach also.

I will never ever understand the some of the decisions the selection committee makes every year.

Gonzaga as a 4 seed is just.....inexplicable IMO.
