The Never-ending College basketball season thread

Indiana needs to be on the phone with John Beilein right now.

 

[dadgum] Illinois

 

Bubble Watch article on ESPN today asks the question “Is Duke done?”

Umm, yes?

 

Am I missing something on this whole thing with Iowa retiring Garza’s number? Seems a bit... soon, doesn’t it?

 

Apparently I’m not the only one.

Oh come on. March mayhem shouldn't even be a trademark. And if it is, surely only regarding basketball tournaments.

 

Duke got the COVID and can't play tonight.

You hate to see it.

 

Kentucky finishes the season at 9-16.

 

9 more than they deserve

 

thats just ashame

 

Last night Seth Davis was saying if Duke beat FSU they were in, which would have been an absolute travesty if true

Guess we won’t know. Unless the committee just puts them in there anyway

 

Now it’s UVA. They might be out of the NCAA tourney as well.

 

That one actually sucks and I feel bad for them.

 

Add Kansas to the list.

This isn't a college game/situation, but it has to go somewhere. This part, in particular, had me laughing out loud:

"I'm not normally a racist... just when my blood sugar spikes."

 

"I have the Tourette's Diabetes. I always seem to end up at a Klan rally when it spikes, then I regain consciousness. Very weird."

 

You have to think there was a point where, while giving his statement, he thought to himself, "Oh shit, am I really going to blame dropping an N-bomb on diabetes? Welp, I guess I've hit the point of return, no looking back now."

I haven't actually listened to it, but when they say "racial epithet," I'm assuming n-word. If that's incorrect, someone can correct me.

 

Nope, it is. I heard it. He was pissed about the team kneeling and dropped the "f-ing n-gers" with a heavy dose of scorn. I'll see if I can find it again.

 

Yeah, here we go. It's at about 57 seconds. Weird thing is the team he's [itch bay]ing about looks to be half white girls.​
