this is such a transparent attempt to recoup the lost money from last season's ncaa tourney by shoving it all into as short a time period as possible before a second wave of coronavirus hits

but

it's so fuckin cool god drat

Detroit pulled out of their games in Lexington this weekend, only notable because it prevents Brad Calipari from returning to Rupp to play against his dad.

I don't think there's any way any team plays their full schedule this year. Even if a team manages to avoid an outbreak, someone on their schedule will get it. It wouldn't surprise me to see last minute rescheduling throughout the season just so teams have someone to play.

Why are we doing this again? Money obviously. But maybe Pitino was right, just push the start back to January, and do May Madness when hopefully one of these vaccines is more widely available. Probably too late now though with games starting this week.

i agree it’s stupid but i can sort of understand the logic the ncaa is using here
-you have to start sometime
-a compressed schedule even if it’s conference only is really going to gently caress up any chance these guys have of even paying lip service to the “student” part of student-athlete
-may madness would destroy the exam schedule way worse than the bowl schedule, and not just for the people playing in it

it’s very stupid but i can understand the incredibly stupid logic behind it if you approach it from the perspective of “how do we make a lot of money as soon as possible and wrap it up in a veneer of respectability”

So apparently Ron Harper Jr. is playing every game like he's against Iowa now. (Which is not a knock against them, just he's always been lights out against them.) Dude is going to be a first round pick and declare, isn't he.

he’s on the fringe of the first round but he could easily raise that if he keeps playing like this

I mean this is definitely a case where it's still way too early to know and it could very easily just be an underlying heart condition he's had for awhile that no one ever found. But the fact that we still really don't know very much about the long term impact of covid is just more reason to be ultra cautious about it and not play

and i’m sure it’s the furthest thing from his grandfather’s and anyone else’s mind right now but keyontae johnson was going to play in the nba at some point, and instead of earning a few million dollars, he’s barely conscious after being put in a medically induced coma

I agree.

People were pumping Billy Donovan as a legit option, which turned out false. I think Howard seemed underwhelming given the state of the program at the time.

I liked the hire, but didn’t expect him to win the Big Ten and have the #1 recruiting class in year 2.

to me the knocks on juwan were he didn’t have ncaa experience and the hire felt like another “oh michigan decided they needed a Michigan Man again” but he’s crushed it from the jump

autobid watch: Liberty (ugh) is in and presumably very dangerous again this year. Another dangerous team would be Belmont, playing for the OVC title tonight against Morehead St. Tomorrow the stronger teams for NCAA chaos are Winthrop (vs. Campbell in the Big South, though it's hard to pull against the Camels) and then the first bid thief potential for the year in the MVC, where Loyola will presumably dismantle whoever they play, but would still get an at-large if they lose. (I don't see Drake getting in without winning the title, but maybe?)

Win or lose I think Loyola is going to be grotesquely underseeded.

vcu is 18-6 so they need to win the a10 to cinch an ncaa spot even with name recognition; bonaventure is kind of a paper tiger but they did beat davidson twice (by a combined 6 points)

vcu is playing davidson tonight and that game will be worth watching if only to see nah'shon hyland and kellan grady match up

also st. bonaventure is playing right now in some hot and heavy mid major action

Who gives a poo poo about conference titles. I think I stopped caring about them like 20 years ago when a decent illini team was co champs despite having a head to head win because there wasn't a tie breaker, something like that

Edit hot drat I remembered right, co champs with MSU , went 1-0 against them. That was the team that had 6 players foul out against gilbert arenas and arizona

honestly i like stupid poo poo like this where everyone has a chip on their shoulder over something that doesn't even matter
