2023-2024 NCAA Men's Basketball Thread

I didn’t realize a flagrant was always 2 shots, even if it happened on an and 1. This state game is so drunk.
 
A point of information about bids to the NCAA tournament using Lunardi's Brackets. Joe has 6 Mountain West teams with bids to the Dance. Three Big 6 conferences get fewer than the MWC. The Big East gets 5. The ACC gets 4. The PAC gets 2.

There are 11 teams in the MWC. Those eleven teams have combined to play a total of 23 games against Big 6 conference teams, about 2 per team on the season. The Big 6 conferences are the SEC, The ACC, the Big 10, the Big East, the Big 12 and the PAC10. As a point of comparision, the 9 Big South conference teams have played 23 games against Big 6 conference teams. Wake Forest will play 25 Big 6 conference games in the regular season, more than the entire MWC combined. The same is true of most Big 6 conference teams. The MWC is a fraud. They avoid tough competition like the plague. Talk about stealing bids. I wonder why the Big 6 conferences put up with this crap.

Thanks for putting up with my rant. Just thought you folks might find it interesting.

Yeah I’m looking forward to betting against them in the tournament come March.

Getting 100% of your teams in the dance is nothing to sneeze at.
 
Florida hovering at 29 NET and our only Q1 win. Big game at Alabama (#5 in NET) tonight. More importantly, let’s roll Duke on Saturday. Just distracting myself with #s until then.
 
Good win last night. The Deacs start the day ranked #21 in kenpom, #23 in torvik, #22 in BPI and #26 in NET. If those numbers keep improving it will be difficult to omit the team from the Dance despite holes in the resume. I enjoyed Randolph's mention that the 46 wins at the Joel over the past three seasons are the most home victories in the NCAA.
 
I lost track of Mizzou hoops this season. How did they go from 25-10 to 8-18?

Just curious, what is the record of those MWC-Big 6 matchups.

This is a great post and should be tattooed to Numbers' forehead.
